My Server is dying....

[Kosmos992k]

Not everyone on the same page. The same thing that happens when u put a PF and takes 45+ min to fill. Ppl play on diferent ways and have different goals, even ppl from other FCs (bigger than ours) do stuff with us and othewise. Thats not the problem.

People are more spread out through the content. When the Hunts were added previously in a catch up patch, the Duty Finder Q's on all data centers went pretty quite for a long time, then people got tired of the hunts (after gearing themselves) and the Q's returned to normal. This too shall pass.

That is why. If you select multiple languages, it will put priority over one of the languages instead of throwing you into a language roulette (as in you may be queued for F, E, D, and J, but the DF is just putting you into a French queue instead of all 4). You are waiting for other people to queue under a language that might not be popular on that data center (such as Japanese or German, since Aether is an NA data center and most people in NA speak English as their primary language).
.

Ty i will test that, but still DF is only one of the many indicators showing our server is desert >.<

You keep saying you have access to all these different means of communicating with people and have a large pool of people (in goblin) to call upon. I have 1 linkshell (that's purely a for fun LS, not a purposed one) and 5 people outside of my FC on my friends list. I have zero issue's finding people to do things with. That's why I'm very very curious as to why you are having such trouble all around. My queue times aren't even half as long as yours.

PF is always iffy though. Most on goblin don't bother to look even when people shout it a billion times. It's not until you find you're running the same thing with them for a while that you join (mostly fate grinding). Don't put so much effort into finding PF's.

Well ur making me give u a really long explaination i dont want to (my broken english make it really dificult also). But making it short: close to everyone i know is using the game mostly as a expensive chat. Other are leveling crafting. Not many actually leveling jobs and if so, they are doing levelig roulette daily and u cant queue in group. Most of us jost doing Void Ark after reset and usually Expert in group. Not many of the payers i know likes neither Extreme primals or diadem.

My FC and LSs are struggling to survive (cuz many players are tranfering to other servers, left the game and theres no newbies to recruit), lots of players left the game (check our housing plot map i already post), FCs who used to play with us (also the 3 more "hardcore" guilds in Goblin) merged to Shiva/Cactuar.

Good thing if u have a bunch of friends who do the same things u want and are on ur same page. Not here to discuss my playing style but data i already show bout how our server populations is too low to keep going, and is lowest everyday.

Your server is putting on a Glamour Contest with one of the best advertisements I've seen for an in-game event. Came across this while advertising for my own glamour event on Midgard. http://imgur.com/OHyWMOd

Seems pretty random for a reply to a thread about someone's woes with Duty. Still a simple problem to understand; there's a bug that affects people randomly giving them overlong queues and a general lack of interest over undesired rewards. I don't even run High anymore, I've been capped on Soldiery for months and was capped on Law for weeks before I bought the Haurchefant portrait. About to cap on Law again, actually.

Goblin is a low population server for sure, but it's not dying. There are pros and cons to all population sizes. A pro, for example, to our smaller population is that hunts aren't as much of a massive Zerg fest as higher population servers, we can actually experience the mechanics of A ranks and find a challenge in defeating them. On higher population servers you might not even lay eyes on them before they're dead.

There are cons too, like fewer PF groups, but that is normal for a server our size. Our server isn't dying, nothing needs to be fixed, it's just a different dynamic than the larger servers.

If you're unhappy, it might be best to transfer rather than linger. From experience, it doesn't just "get better", just more bitter.

I recently transferred off a small server and you couldn't pay me to go back, let alone bribe me with minions. The only thing that will fix some people's dissatisfaction with them is a merge.

The thread is about the server dying, low pop, etc, not just about duty finder issues. I don't think a server is dead when there are still people on it trying to bring the community together.
