[Feedback] Data Center Travel Changes

Is what they're doing necessarily the best answer. Probably not. But, whatever it takes to bring growth to Dynamis and make it inconvenient for everyone to just run to Aether.

Not sure this will help Dynamis grow. If anything I'd encourage people not to roll on Dynamis. Especially as raiders or rpers. Unless your friends are already here, you run the risk of getting trapped and unable to interact with them.

Exactly, it won't. If they wanted more even player distribution, they should have left things as they were, possibly merged Dynamis into the rest of the DCs.

Dynamis is necessary now for the same reason Crystal was necessary in 2019. The game needed the additional data center. That's why it was added.

But sure, let's dump all of Dynamis onto Primal and Crystal, so all the players can enjoy the Aether problem.

Ah, you have a very solid point. Then perhaps Dynamis just needs its own draw, like how Crystal tends to be the RP server and Aether tends to be the raiding server.

That's a great idea! For now, the only thing we have on this side, as far as I know, is the road to 90 buff (though I don't think that's available on Seraph now) and an easier go at housing.

I'm a Dynamis native (moved from Aether last year), and that's pretty much it. And yeah, last I checked, the buff vanished on Seraph since it's the one congested world on Dynamis.

I'll be honest, I'm not even trying to get to Aether. All my friends are on Crystal and Primal. Typically am on Coeurl or Malboro in the case of Crystal, occasionally Balmung or Mateus if a person's house is there. Famfrit and Hyperion for Primal servers. And tbh for my own stuff RN it's mainly just Hyperion I'd like to get to, since my next RP scene is at a player house there.

the problem with Dynamis is that it has been added at the worst possible time not very long after the introduction of DC travel. It also had a lot of housing. Many people created characters or moved there with the intent of getting a house while continuing to play with their friends on other DCs. Since the queues were awfully long, people just DC travelled making the problem even worse and the DC never had the chance to build a community to fill df/pf.

SE should work on making PF/DF regional. It’s the only way to solve the annoying issue of people converging to a single DC and having near empty PF on other DCs (DF remained healthy of Primal).

Yoshi P already said this is 3 years of full force work if it's even possible. This is not on the table realistically from a business perspective. You are not going to spend that much development time and money on something when you can shut off what caused the problem to begin with. This is only after everything else has failed.

"Everything else"

They tried nothing though ? lmao

If you really think giving a mediocre mount for transferring is an incentive, I dont know what to tell you
