Aether Data Center 100% Congested

Ugh a reason I moved away from balmung was to avoid congestion. Definitely wanna transfer but I guess I’ll wait to see how bad it gets before I make a decision :c

Yeah, the congestion kind of followed Aether, because (1) People fear that RP will take over Crystal (2) That RPers can't raid-- for some reason???? (3) Then these false rumors spread to the new people coming in who are being misinformed.

I am sure there are other reasons, but that is the biggest ones I've heard.

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

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.

No need to kill the boss when you can talk them into dying. Now would you all kindly give me your spot in the queue tomorrow?

This. To new players that don't RP, they hear too many meme's about balmung or rather now crystal as a whole as the RP server and with that, people automatically assume people don't raid.
So with that misinformation, new players or people that believe everything they read head to aether.
While true aether is more raid focused, crystal isn't all RP and only rp. Its just balmung, honestly anywhere else you won't see any RP.
