[Feedback] Data Center Travel Changes

[ObscuraFi]

and I'm advising potential new players on which low population servers to avoid starting on because who wants to get trapped on those?

Well, Aether has no new character creation. Half of Primal and Crystal have no new character creation. Aether has no world visit during prime hours. Primal and Crystal become half a data center visitation wise during prime hours with all of the most populated worlds being unaccessible to a new player. 8 worlds visitation wise that have travelers from all 3 main data centers, small medium and large housing with 0 bids for weeks/months, leveling buff, or...a crippled data center for visitation with a bigger marketboard for the moment (which you don't have gil to spend on significantly because you're a sprout) and slightly faster queue's and minimum housing.

Pros and cons to either and different individual experiences to be sure. My friends who have characters on Dynamis had been spending more time on the other data centers because of longer roulette queue times on their Dynamis servers. With the data center transfer mess, they aren't even touching those characters.

I did not mean to imply I intend to make a broad public broadcast to all potential new players to avoid certain less populated servers, I meant my friends and friends of my friends who we will want to play with. Having half of Crystal available is a much better option than dealing with the current data center travel garbage.
