If you're on any other data center, good luck getting into Aether, and god help you if you need to do any sort of content (like Diadem) that forces you to be on your home data center. If you're not on Aether, you're a second-class citizen.

To be honest, I'm not sure I have much faith in them rolling things back at this point, and if Aether does open up, I'm seriously considering transferring my character over. If this is really how they want things to be, fine. You reap what you sow, Square Enix. Enjoy Aether becoming even more densely populated and exacerbating the problems even further, I guess.
Being an Aether player myself, even we're feeling it. Primal is kinda the main server to do PvP related events, like Rival Wings for example. I'll admit I'm still lucky as I still can get to Primal if I try late enough at night, it's a smaller issue than people on other DCs are feeling for sure.

Regardless, the point still stands, the second the gates open up on any kind of transfer, Aether will get flooded, and at this point, I welcome all with open arms. Let every square inch of Aether be as densely packed as the Balmung Quicksands, I am ready to greet all of my new neighbors. Ironically, I basically only play on Dynamis at this point because all of my friends can't get to Aether anymore. It'd be kind of a homecoming for me too.
