Crystal Datacenter Locked

[Kyrj]

All of crystal is currently in a congested status. Can't make new characters anywhere. I think we are going to see more and more of that as they add data centers and new servers. The idea is to balance populations.

They're going to add more?!?! Why? Dynamis is a pathetic shit show right now...

You can you just need to wait for off peak hours (early morning the best) when most people have logged and gone to bed. The server is still in new status so it's not locked.

I just made one on Seraph and it's 3:30 am EST.

Nothing wrong with Dynamis.

As somebody who played on Materia for 9 miserable months with no access to DC travel, Dynamis is great.

No content? DC travel and do content.

Don't want to DC travel? That's your own problem.

Agreed here as someone who also stayed on Materia for a while.

People who are calling Dynamis dead or a problem really need to go visit Materia and see how actually bad it can get. Dynamis is no where near that level.

I do think they should have locked Aether though compared to Crystal as Aether has a much higher pop AFAIK.

It actually doesn't. According to the recent Lucky Bancho census, Crystal is absolutely killing Aether in terms of population. Literally every single Crystal server has surpassed Aether's. The major difference is Crystal focuses more on casual content, roleplay and venues while Aether focuses on higher end stuff like EX and Savage. Which is why it always seems more popular as people from Crystal, Primal and Dynamis travel over.

At some point, I do wonder if they'll ever consider locking DC travel to try encouraging people not to congregate on one data center. JP has been loudly complaining about it since Mana has essentially become their version of Aether.
