Why Is Dynamis Dead

[ForteNightshade]

As others have already said. It hasn't been a month yet. In fact, we're only barely hitting the third week mark. Which just happens to be right smack in the middle of American Thanksgiving. A lot of companies are also mandating more work hours and such in preparation for Christmas. Not to mention plans people themselves have for spending time with family. All of this alongside a content lull for the game itself and it's hardly any wonder things are quiet.

Frankly, I believe that was intended so players could get comfortable without feeling as though they were missing out on content. One of the many blunders with Materia's launch was releasing it three weeks into a major patch cycle—one which included Savage. It all but ensured people wouldn't transfer even if the lack of DC travel wasn't a huge problem.

The dev team largely doesn't care if the community opts to create one centralized hub Data Center. Yoshida even said as much in the recent Q&A. One of the questions asked if they were concerned how over on JP, Mana has essentially taken over for raiding. They more or less said, DC travel is working as intended. So their solution to slow queue times on Dynamis is "go try Aether, Primal or Crystal". Make of that what you will.

The new NA and EU data centers are being put in place to prevent the congestion problems encountered when EW dropped. They've given people the ability to spread out and reduce load on the login and game servers, which is likely all they care about. If players want to transfer to Dynamis but actually play on Primal, I doubt that means anything to them, all the people doing DC travel now are still based on a low-pop datacenter which will have fewer issues come 7.0.
