Honestly, no offence, but how the hell do you know whats going on across all datacentres?



..and youd be wrong.

Got bored and logged on my Materia alt on Zurvan, time wise it is around 11PM in Canberra (yell at google if I used the wrong time zone for accurate comparisons, just the first one that came up in the list).

Housing looks the exact same as when I left it 3-6m ago. Entire wards empty in multiple districts which blows my mind considering how sought-after larges are. That to me speaks miles about how hard people are trying to put down roots in the server.

Queue wise I was looking at 7-10m queues for all except Alliance Raid which is at 20m. A much better improvement compared to how it was before unless this is just me catching things at prime time and it'll revert back to 30-1h+ queues afterwards (might revisit it in the morning hours and see what the land looks like). I can't speak on current content or 90/Expert roulette as I haven't taken her through the majority of Endwalker yet.

After checking player search there are currently 163 players online in Zurvan...which is...interesting.

PF is currently sitting at 20 entries. I actually find this interesting as 2/20 are for RP or venue related activities, the rest are for content or item buying. I might have to start giving this alt some more attention if the RP scene is quiet there. :P

Overall, it looks to me like a similar situation to Dynamis outside of housing, the low pop on the server (haven't seen numbers like that since week 1 or 2 of Dyna launching) and the extremely small RP population which to me is a nice change from the constant vomit of it on the NA side of things.
