My server feels dead

[Volgia]

I can only speak for Primal but that is definitely not the case here. I've played this game for years only on Hyperion and what you describe has never been my experience. Hunt trains and S rank kills are a flood of memes in shout chat whether I chime in or not. Even if nobody is saying anything I'll just say something silly and chat will be a flood of responses. I can also visit any major city right now and 100% guarantee success in talking to some random person. Why just this past evening, in the middle of the night when Limsa was mostly empty, some random lala came up to a friend of mine and I and started chatting with us.

All that being said, I can totally see Dynamis having trouble in that department. DC travel kneecapped Dynamis before it could ever develop its own community, so it's not surprising if the people there feel no kinship with each other.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: DC travel was a mistake and should be rolled back. Until such time as that happens unfortunately your best bet would probably be to transfer to a different DC.

I've made friends in Eureka, Bozja and PF, but otherwise unless I go out of my way to attend a venue, nothing.

Sounds like a you problem.
