If your having that long of delay using DF even if your DPS... would suggest players on your world have moved to other things or quit due to lack of content.

Research these forums for a while and pick another world server that better serves your needs. It's possible that SE will need to Merge Worlds before too long.

Now that they have deleted all the Gold Sellers on the /NA servers the worlds seem pretty empty.

I think on my world Courel we have lost over half the population due to lack of content quitters and Free world transfer week.

Oh well.. Going forward this seems to be the trend. Pick your new world wisely and hope for the best my friend. /Cheers.
