My server feels dead

Best server. Best middies community

Dynamis is depressing. Completely dead server. Takes forever if not impossible to get roulettes done. Typically, zero Party Finder groups and most cities are largely empty.

I meam that's all I do is fill party finders. But it is not worth playing on at all at the moment. Everyone says it will get better, but by then, I will be gone. I wish I could've stayed, but it's far too dead. I was very pro stay on Dynamis, but the other people just being selfish made me do it because the queues got abysmal.

I've come to just accept this isn't really a MMORPG but a single player game with multi-player available during certain times of day.

I recently played another "MMORPG" for a month and made a startling observation. A literal 25 year old game of the same genre as this one has more people playing and around to do things with during "off", non-peak, hours (for North America) than this one does despite having far less population and, so-called, popularity.

Let that sink in

What mmorpg are you playing and why did you put it in quotes?

I sometimes feel they should merge some of these servers at this point

They probably should. However, once every 2 years or so, they'll put out an expansion that sees a surge in activity and makes them think it's justified to add a whole 'nother data center that turns out dead as hell after a few weeks.
Maybe the cloud infrastructure will solve this problem and let them consolidate without running into quality issues.

Remember when Dynamis was supposed to get 4 more servers in Spring or Summer of 2023? Or when EU was supposed to get an entirely new Data Center with 8 more worlds too at the same time? Whatever happened with that? 2023 is almost over lmao

I wouldn't mind a few more people moving off of Dynamis.

Which?

The original Guild Wars? (GW2 was released 2012)
Dungeons and Dragons Online?
Lord of the Rings Online?
Aion?

Those are the active MMORPGs that I can find that were released about 25 years ago.

When you say more people playing, what are you basing that on?

When you say "more to do" are you basing that on overall available content or on content that is new to you?

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather not, but I have limited play time as it is. I can't spend it jumping servers to run roulettes.

Did you first start out playing FFXIV on Dynamis? If not, why did you choose Dynamis?

because of the Road to 80 buff, why else?
