Sad and tired

It's not a bad idea, but I should mention that some people on Dynamis have done this for Aether/Primal/Crystal and more often than not, those alts become their "new main" and their Dynamis character becomes the alt that only gets to live to hold onto a house, lol.

If nothing else though, creating an alt at least allows one to try and reserve their preferred name on another world that may interest them, and if one is willing to split time between characters, having two (or more) isn't so bad and can expand one's circle of players in general. Same reason some people roll alts on different regions entirely, wanting to be a little worldly in their gameplay.

I don't see anything wrong with this this is why I specifically mentioned "if you're not too particular about which character you're playing"! We have users like Miina who play on two characters, one of them being on Dynamis in their case. I juggle a few characters myself too and it personally makes my experience more fun but I also understand people who want to have everything on one character. To each their own, but you never know until you try!

If someone starts doing this and finds out they'd much rather just have their stuff in their new DC, they can either transfer the main or, if they don't want to be homeless, wait until the alt obtains a comparable plot and eventually move into the new character as their new main.

I'm on Chaos DC (Phantom) it gets busy at peak times but compared to light DC is generally much more quiet, especially outside peak times. Some other Chaos world's tend to be more active at times even than my world. But I do a lot of content solo and am a newer player so there's stuff to do still (friends don't play this and the one's I've made on here are rarely online).

I heard they split Europe into 2 data centers before I started playing? seems maybe that thinned it out too much in the end.

Phantom is the second smallest world according to XIVCensus, which checks out on why it goes very quiet when it's not peak hours. But Chaos still has a fairly healthy casual community and region-wide PF would immediately make it the more desirable option imo, since quieter DCs have more access to housing and get to sell at more expensive prices. You'll find yourself travelling more often to get your shopping done, though!

There was a strong divide during P9-P12 in my experience. Chaos's savage PF died very hard after the 3rd/4th week in the prog front and Light lasted one or two more before it went mostly quiet as well. After EW, we just didn't recover and everyone went directly to Light to get their savages done.
