How do you think the new DC community is going to be like?

[ryouma17]

humans are humans no matter where you go so i imagine it'll be just like the other DCs

Imo, the incentives are just not good enough at this point. Anyone who participated in the earliest versions of new datacenter move rewards can't qualify for again for extra aub time, leaving only gil as a reward and that in itself is pocket change. There's the feathers but unless you're willing to lock yourself down for 90 days for a mount or emote, which btw most of the veteran populace already acquired, is not an attractive incentive.

I feel like SE is going to have to step up its game or you're going to have an OCE situation repeating itself

This should be amusing.

Come on now, you and I both know it was dead everywhere except Sophia and maybe Ravana for a few months. Ya'll didnt eben have an RP scene till housing was released 1-2 months after the fact and the PF was constantly empty whenever I checked. I doubt it's still the same situation but it was pretty bad at first. Oh and the hate towards NA players was great when we were trying to come over and help you pop the place. It was hit or miss going into a duty whether or not someone would crack an insult.

Hold up there. As a NA player that has been on an OCE server since it opened I have NOT run into ANY hate towards NA players.

Dunno about that, I know that myself and 4 of my friends, plus my parents all prefer to game with NA players than oceanic ones, and we all live down here in Oceania.

Yeah well, I am guessing you checked in the late evening on a work week, am I right?

This and

People did that when OCE came out and the place is still dead in comparison to the other DCs.

contradict each other.

Materia is far from dead, thank you VERY MUCH , we are growing and doing very well as a community. My server, Zurvan is a tad quieter, but we like it that way.

I am on Ravana right now at 1am and the place is packed. Same with Sephirot. Sophia is a tad quieter but its Fri at am on a work week. Same with Bismarck and Zurvan.

I think we both know why that happened...and whose fault that was.

Or do you need me to remind you?

1. No, I no life the game. I'm online usually around 12-14 hours a day. Sometimes longer if I feel like sleep depriving myself that day.

2. It is still low pop in comparison to the other DCs. Not sure why you think otherwise. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just the reality.

3. Yes, we're like 3/4 of the way through the year. I'm referring to the very beginning. What it looks like now is obviously going to be different compared to the first couple months which is what I was even discussing.

I can't speak on current population as I'm not there but I can absolutely speak on the early days as I was there for a lot of it. I had characters on both Ravana and Zurvan (still do probably since i havent transferred them all back yet). If its now on the same level as Crystal or Aether or insert DC name here, that's wonderful and I'm really happy for you. I hope the DC goes well.

4. Nah, no one was provoking anyone. The most memorable one off the top of my head was someone not keeping the dragon centered in Laby and got them called a "stupid American doing a stupid NA strat."

Apologies for said person not doing in depth research on OCE strats since they didn't exist at the time.

(Sorry I butchered your original post but cbf to fix it now on mobile)

Oh , that wasnt the reason. But I will leave you to work that one out.

Think on it a while..it will come to you.

Does Primal have an identity? I've always felt like it just kind of exists while Aether is the tryhard DC and Crystal has the RP, more social and casual crowd. I haven't been on Primal since HW admittedly.
