The Dynamis Problem and Potential Solutions

[CidHeiral]

But it won't be same situation. Player population is not the same as it once was. Dynamis wouldn't even have current 2,5 players if there was no DC travel. People will just naturally trickle to the most populated servers: raiders to Aether, RPers to Crystal. Dynamis will be left in submarine-farming ruins, Primal will probably be middleground where you'll farm like, ex trials and prog savages over 6 months. These who won't be able to transfer to Aether for raiding will unsub. These who won't be able to transfer to Crystall will unsub as well.

This is entirely fabricated nonsense.

But it's not the same as back as before DC Travel didn't exist vs in 2025 like it would just punish low pop DC even more than aether which is doing fine on its own but I can't say the same for Dynamis, which is already empty other than housing or RP mains. It would completely destroy their remaining worlds and it's not worth it, esp not since SE can get a refund on their DC costs either way.

Dynamis only seems empty because everybody travels elsewhere due to the perception that it's dead. It's a self fulfilling prophecy. Were DC travel to be removed there would probably be some initial drop-off in the short term, but in the long term the DC could grow normally like every other NA server.

These protestations remind me of when SE decided to address people ilvl cheesing alliance raid roulette and all the cheesers claimed alliance roulette was going to DIE and would NEVER pop again for ANYONE if the devs took away their ability to cheese. Lo and behold, the change went through and nothing they said would happen actually happened. People make a stink any time they have something taken away even if it's ultimately for the best.
