[Reddit] Is the grass greener in Aether?

Irony is it was entirely player created. Before everyone started moving at once, you could do all these things on your own datacenter, but then people got greedy, and the culture changed.

Don’t blame the players, the game basically incentivizes gathering on a single data center. It’s the smart move, and if not Aether it would have been another. For an online game, where do you want to play? Where everyone else is playing, of course!

I hate that this has happened, but it’s a game design issue. I personally believe it’s the number one problem in this game right now.

Rongway’s idea is a good solution I think. Then the DC travel system would be functioning as it was originally intended: to let friends play with each other.
