Please help Dynamis

[Infindox]

People only go on Dynamis for housing and maybe for the Road to 80 buff and then go to the other Data Centers to do content. I have an alt on one of the servers there and the fact even Limsa feels dead is not very good. I doubt that much will change unless they heavily push it when the Xbox players are here. (And by that I mean give them more rewards then the exp buff and the 1 million gil when you get to level 30)

I mean 90% of people are DC travelling to Aether or other DC's so I'm not sure why this is a surprise, the same will happen when Xbox players join Dynamis (lol as if they will, why would they join a dead DC ?), they'll all go to Aether for fast queues and groups, which means there will be 0 improvement to Dynamis's actual population that stays on Dynamis and doesnt dc travel 24 7.

I guarantee you Dynamis will have a population that far exceeds your expectations when the expansion drops. Sorry to burst your little bubble of doom and gloom.

I don't think anyone WANTS you to be wrong, in fact, we'll probably be glad that the game is doing really well enough to fill Dynamis. I know I would be.

Maybe. But its not going to fix the entire dc travel for every single bit of high end content thing. That actually killed Crystal and Primal.

I still think the cross-dc PF system is needed, even if dynamis grows on its own.

Yes I too go on the absolute lowest population server when I start a new game knowing I won't even be able to queue for anything at all and struggle to make friends because 90% of the already small DC is DC traveling.

Get real.

Also yes maybe on expansion drop there will be quite a lot more, and what when the numbers fall off ? That's normal for mmo's, be it ffxiv or wow, big peak on expansion release then massive drop back to normal/stable numbers.

Well, actually, if I knew I could go to the low-pop server to get access to certain things I probably wouldn't get on high pop servers (i.e. housing), and still with a click of a button (DC travel) easily queue for all of the content I want to queue for, I could very easily see that as a tempting proposition.

Once you get above a certain level, it drastically tapers off. Most roulettes are duds. Generally speaking, if you're level 90 or 100, when Dawntrail comes out, those servers aren't ideal. I like being in a small town. I really do, but when you need convenience, you have to be smart enough to realize you sacrificed it for peace and quiet. Because that's the truth. Dynamis is dead post 50. And that's after a year of new player growth. I don't see it changing much in the future. As more and more people leave for better pastures, it still remains dead. The choice on how to fix it is obvious. Blizzard figured it out for them a decade ago. They just need to figure out how to implement the fix. It could take two three years to get it going if it's even possible. I generally have hope in the devs because usually, when something bothers me, they fix. I'm not asking for much. I'm just asking for cross DC queuing. That's it. I personally couldn't care less about cross DC PF, but everyone here wants it as well, and I'm not going to stand in the way of progress.

That will depend on what status SE assigns the other NA worlds and whether they leave data center travel enabled to all worlds.

The average number of active level 90 characters on each Dynamis world (11,600) already exceeds the average number of active level 90 characters on each JP world (10,750) per the latest LB census but that does little good if they're all using data center travel to play on the other data centers. Dynamis is already at a disadvantage with just 4 worlds so that halves the overall population compared to other data centers.

Things would be a lot better on Dynamis if players with Dynamis characters stayed on Dynamis to do content with other Dynamis players instead of heading to Aether like so much of NA does.

Never heard of this heading to Aether thing until now. Crystal fills all content, including EX trials and all raiding content. I've never once had a problem searching for anything to do while on the crystal DC, so sounds like it's a dynamis specific problem if people from that server move to Aether for whatever reason
