Why Is Dynamis Dead

[LianaThorne]

I just feel bad for any new player who makes their first character on Dynamis not knowing the situation. There are a grand total of 8 parties active on the entire datacenter as I post this, and this is peak hours for the NA region (6pm PST). This is not how FFXIV is supposed to be played.



While I know this isn't a big "hype period" like during a new patch or expac, this game is still on sale. Customers are still buying it, and will run into an utterly broken situation if they don't check the forums beforehand. At least World of Warcraft combines all of its dead servers together so that people can still queue for content. There's large swaths of content that's simply unplayable on this datacenter. I have yet to see any reasonable defense as to why this is a good thing.

It's worse on Materia. Feel bad for them and maybe use this same doomposting energy to help their cause.

Also, we have been hitting into the 20s now for # of PF ads on some nights. FCs are still being decorated and it will increase once they open the doors to their venues and we get new content in 6.3.

I still fail to understand why people expect new DCs that have been alive for a month to perform at the same level as the rest of the NA region that has been building up an audience for multiple years (with one in particular capitalizing on the WoW situation and adopting the majority of their streamers which in turn flooded said DC). Make it make sense.
