Why Is Dynamis Dead

[CidHeiral]

It is a good thing - for players that are looking to join communities where people take the time to get to know one another.

Personally I miss the days of players being restricted to a single world. Communities formed and players got to know one another. Friendly rivalries formed. Helping one another helped the community as a whole because of that interdependence on one another.

Personally, I'd be fine if data center travel was disabled. I have alts on different data centers so I can still play with my friends on each. It would make hunting for bargains on the marketboard a bit more challenging but I could live with that.

Agreed for the most part, I don't think world travel is a problem at all, but server communities are definitely an important part of the health of any MMO. Those saying otherwise are almost always socially inept cave trolls and/or zoomers that think every game should function like a Fortnite lobby.

I think the server communities are still doing alright for the most part but DC travel is really having an negative impact. Relating to the thread topic, Dynamis never had a chance to build its community in the first place because of DC travel. The longer the issue persists the worse it's going to get.

Sounds incredibly fake to me. If you had this much build up within the tiny communities on each server, how come everything fell apart?

Wouldn't you rather have people able to be genuine rather being in a situation where they're either forced to tolerate each other, buy a server transfer, or outright quit the game? Plus it's not like those small communities were all that great. In many ways they created echo chambers, and harmful cliques that picked who they felt like allowing into the main community and who they didn't (which still happens, I've been kicked on sight from the Marilith NN for leaving certain other communities). I doubt issues such as stalking and harassment were non-existent back then either. Imagine being trapped on a single server with your stalker.

I probably wouldn't be on this game if I had to play under those conditions. There's too much nostalgia around those conditions and the game needs to adapt and move forward, not go backward.
