Yeah, I decided to go for a fresh start on Dynamis with Dawntrail's launch. So I left and transferred to Seraph, because I was feeling nostalgic, due to Seraph being the name of my server on FFXI back in the day.

Everything was fine back then. However, I took a hiatus and came back to a ghost town.

So I left everything behind (including my FC and house) and moved on. I don't regret it. At the end of the day, a better experience is awaiting you on the launch data centers.

Aether is the most populated, sometimes I will go there occasionally to queue for a thing, but you can't go wrong with any of the launch data centers. I've lived many years on Primal (Hyperion & Ultros), Aether (Cactuar & Gilgamesh), Crystal (Brynhildr & Goblin). Outside of Dynamis, every world I've lived on is alive. Not only are the worlds alive, but they actually feel alive as well (if that makes sense)
