Aether Data Center 100% Congested

Also there is a general opinion Balmung and Mateus are the sin of the original Aether and having them be sent to Crystal was a blessing due to congestion/rp focus. Which I think is totally bull as I've seen many people from Balmung be top in PVP and raiding as a whole. So that claim holds no weight imo it's just blameshifting for the sake of something to complain over.

It's also funny because while I'm not on Aether anymore I generally hear people are trying to treat Faerie like the new Balmung as being the more rp focused server for Aether.

Well with respect to BA I will say that clears on Crystal are a lot harder than they are on Aether. I don't raid so I can't comment on that aspect. Part of the disparity I'm sure isn't the quality of the players but the fact that the population on Crystal is a lot less than on Aether.

And if they came over to Crystal, that disparity would be less and everything would be wonderful again. xD

... Until everyone picks on poor Primal. Poor, poor Primal. ;__;

That's only more of the reason why raiding is so important on Crystal more so then ever. If the pool of people going through Savage/Ultimate is smaller that means those people will be dedicated, in turn causing more and more people to try stepping up the plate to get a piece of that.

It is a smaller DC because of the split and people leaving, but now with it being the main option for new players there is always room for growth. Whether it be fresh prog or vets offering advice for those still progging.

Add in we're going to be getting the most new people out of any NA DC due to preferred and we'll hopefully be able to offer good advice for new players to have confidence in doing not only casual content but higher level ones as well.

When I began playing the game shortly after Stormblood dropped, Adamantoise was a preferred world, and now it's congested. Times really do change.

[Endeleon]

I bet half of the congestion is all the bot farms making characters because there are so many pathetic people who buy gil in this game.

[Neoyoshi]

Good. Not only does it mean that the game is getting a lot more attention it also means that the other server clusters will fill up too.

Yep.

I'm looking forward to seeing what the queue will be like in Gilgamesh, Greg is gonna be stuffed.
