This data center is never going to have a healthy population otherwise, it doesn't even have a fun label like being the "raid, RP or PVP" data center like the others, it's just "dead". I'm completely reliant on DC travel to get much of anything done, yet we keep getting hit the hardest by not only travel restrictions, but Square-Enix had the goddamn audacity to LOCK US DOWN to prevent anyone from moving out at one point and the only thing it succeeded in doing was convincing a lot of people to leave the moment the lock came off. I've been playing on Maduin for two years now as of December 2nd and I've seen LESS people over time, not more, and I'm willing to ditch my Medium house and flee to Aether while I still bloody can if merges are not on the horizon because I can't deal with this nonsense anymore. I didn't subscribe to play a single-player online game and would like to experience the "M&M" part of this MMO at some damn point this decade, and I'm tired of waiting on this mythical cross-data center DF/PF people keep bringing up to happen because it has about as much evidence to prove its being worked on as frickin' Viera/Hrothgar hats!

It's just beyond frustrating that Square-Enix created this problem when they launched Dynamis WITH data center travel and it's ultimately done more harm than good, and that the only solutions are either promise after promise of a feature that has yet to materialize in any meaningful way, or requires a pay transfer which feels like rewarding them for their own blunder. I'm just so tired and feel so alone now... and if my leaving Maduin only helps to make the problem worse than so be it, I'm not obligated to keep suffering in a vain attempt to fix this mess because I made a huge mistake during character creation.

That wouldn't really work. What they need to do is break all the DCs and redistribute the servers evenly.
