Why Is Dynamis Dead

[Ardeth]

How much time? It's been what, 6 months now? I'm tired of hearing "give it time".

That's the mean reason I left. I gave it loads of time, but it restricts your options, especially if you have limited gameplay time. It's like paying the same subscription as someone on Aether, but having half the features. But it makes them $18 everytime one of us gets fed up with it. So why would they fix it?

Having come from WoW Classic I can tell you this is most likely the reason. They pulled the same thing when they added new servers but in the end all it did was nothing. Once the people on mega servers who aren't serious about sticking around after an expansion dropped left, the people who transferred or rolled on the new servers just transferred back to the mega servers when it was safe, and they were allowed to.

I left, as well. Worst decisionI mage moving to Dynamis. Made us stay for 90 days, yuk! So happy I left.

They really should have released Dynamis as a full datacenter. There was no reason to put it out in parts. Doing so created the issue at hand.

We aren't at expansion time yet (and not even close), so the need for new worlds outside of housing was minimal.

As their original plan was to release the final parts of the data center this summer, best bet would have been to wait until right before fanfest, release the servers, then let the hype that will inevitably come from the event draw people toward the new servers and housing.

... Sad thing is, now that the genie is out of the bottle, I don't think that's even possible anymore. The reputation of the servers has been established. Good luck getting rid of it.

I get sad every time I see this thread making the rounds
I transferred to Dynamis about a week after it opened. And so far I have absolutely not regretted my decision.
Everyone I've encountered on Dynamis is super nice. Found a great FC, the hunt community is absolutely wonderful, I've never had problems finding groups for anything I need to do.
I used to be on Leviathan and never had problems there, but it's so nice here

So, I'm on Aether, but it seems like the majority of people talking about how dead Dynamis is don't play on Dynamis.

The majority of people in here probably don't even play on the characters they use for their forum avatars so it's hard to say. Currently I spend more time on my Marilith characters than I do on this character and my other characters on Coeurl.

Dynamis isn't dead but it is low pop with players focused more around leveling content than end game content. It's only to be expected that it will be harder to get a party for end game activity. And yet if you actually try, you can usually get that party. PF is a very good way to go if it's showing a long queue time.

As someone who has been there on main since Day 1, the population of Limsa in Marilith is a lot larger than it used to be. Is it wall to wall packed like the other 3 DCs? No and frankly I never expected it to be. However, considering where we are now to where we were at the beginning, there's a noticeable increase especially in the afternoon/night hours.

As far as I'm aware of, the game is still putting new players into Dynamis automatically so it's not really a shock to me that end-game content isn't pulling the same crowd as the others, we got a large portion of the population still getting through everything else and they still would have to be interested in raiding to begin with.

Endgame content is dead on Crystal, and dying on Primal. That one specifically is not a dynamis issue.

That's because Aether has the reputation as the raid DC and now its a self fulfilling prophecy. The reason raiders go to Aether is because raiders go to Aether. Same reason roleplayers go to Crystal.
