Why Is Dynamis Dead

[LianaThorne]

People believing a new DC will make the game feel like its getting released back in 2.0 and everyone who have been playing for a decade (veterans) wants to start from 0 again.

That's never going to happen, the main story of the game ended and there is nothing new to see or expect UNLESS you're a genuine new player, even so if that's the case those always look up for the most popular servers and not the new ones.

I disagree and agree with this view. Yeah, the main story as we know it is over (that doesn't mean MSQ is done, we're literally getting new plot to post-EW in a month and a whole new storyline in 7.0) but I doubt many people are trying to dip to Dynamis to redo the entire MSQ (I'm sure some are because the alt game is real with a lot of people but I don't believe it's a main motivator, housing was overwhelmingly the main one). My partner has been playing since Heavensward launched and wanted to come to Dynamis with me to just help a server grow from Day 1 which is an experience he missed out on in ARR. I simply wanted a fresh start, to help Dynamis grow more than I could on Materia (mainly due to timezones) and to actually have a chance of making myself a permanent home since housing is a nightmare anywhere else on NA.

Deterring people from joining just because it's new is something I don't really understand, when the point is to get new people in to help grow the DC. Instead of telling people to just pack into existing DCs and make their own issues worse, send them to Dynamis and help expand the population here. Maybe I'm just desensitized to the whole thing because of being on Materia (no offense to Materia) but Dynamis really is not that bad for being a month out. Again, you can't compare a ONE MONTH old DC to one that's been established for YEARS. Give people a real chance to come in and help jumpstart things instead of taking the stance of: "Well I can't get every single queue in under 30s, Dynamis is dead and not worth the time." Have some patience, please. It's really not that hard.
