Me and my best friend, husband, and a few other friends have been on Halicarnassus since it was made because that was around when we joined the game and it was what we were directed to. Despite it being largely "dead" we stayed because we managed to find a RP FC and were able to travel to Crystal and Aether for RP on the evenings nothing was open on our server (which was often). Ever since the DC travel restrictions were put in place, as soon as DC transfer was available, our FC of just over 30 people has seen several people leave so they can transfer to Crystal because every night they are unable to access RP. The RP venues are still borderline non-existent on Dynamis PF (unless you're looking to go to a gambling den or DJ nightclub, which I'm not) while alive elsewhere. It's been so dead that people have gotten bored and are either just not logging in anymore or are, as I said, fleeing to Crystal while a couple of those worlds are still open for transfer. Me and my friend are planning to transfer later tonight so we can also make it to Crystal before it's completely blocked off and we're stuck on the worst server in the game. So yeah, before we had an active and somewhat healthy FC of people who'd play on both Dynamis and Crystal, now our FC is dying as everyone flees to Crystal because Dynamis honest to god just sucks. That's the impact that this change has had on our FC. Not sure if that's what Square Enix originally intended with these changes, but that's what's happening.
....and the rest of Dynamis is dead, can't travel unless I give up on sleep and move over to another dc at 6am but now I'm at a loss cuz I cant access any of my retainers or fc buffs, etc. no sleep, no queues, no leveling retainers, small number of people to talk to and play with. The pf is pretty barren most times, queues are rough no matter what job you play, except for a couple hours in the evening when the online player count reaches its daily peak. so many people are just straight up quitting the game, taking a break, or fleeing to another dc asap where they sit logged in 24/7 using 3rd party tools to avoid being removed for inactivity. Dynamis is just as dead as it was at patch 6.5 (ish) and is getting worse daily. I believe everyone from Dynamis is due some playtime as compensation, because this has just been a completely unacceptable situation. The fact that they've completely ignored this outburst of unhappiness on the forums by not removing the restrictions with the hotfix, and haven't commented on it at all is complete disrespect to all of us, and unprofessional to say the least.
