Awful queue times even on the weekends ain't great (and terrible market board prices will never stop), and with how often I'm forced to hop over to Primal or Crystal to get anything done, I might as well just bloody move to one of them permanently and save myself the extra work, *especially* with the travel restrictions making it harder to do even that now.
Hell, apparently Dynamis will have been online for *2 years* come this November 1st, but it feels as slow and dead (with two events going on no less) as the day I started playing on December 6th of that same year, and I'm sick and tired of waiting for it to "get better any day now" and I don't care about keeping my Small house anymore, the upcoming interior updates be damned because what bloody good is having a Large inside when I have no friends, a barely active FC, and I'll have to DC hop repeatedly to furnish it all anyway? I didn't even really want the darn thing to begin with, and it ended up a 2m+ gil joke on myself that it was 5 minutes away from the lottery ending on it with 0 bids.
The new worlds with more housing didn't bring in anyone but alts of people who just wanted their dream venue they couldn't get on Aether/Primal/Crystal, all the Xbox players went elsewhere it seems, the expansion launch just increased the number of people DC hopping to get the new content done, and one full lock down and one soft lock down has just made people more desperate then ever to park themselves on Aether/Primal/Crystal instead because they're THE place you go for XYZ reason while Dynamis does not, and likely never will, have any sort of identity or "label" that makes it appealing for anyone to visit beyond morbid curiosity.
So yeah, I'm just... done already, and I made this topic to not only vent at full about my nearly two year experience of playing an MMO without the M&Ms, but for people to sell me on the available Primal & Crystal worlds still open for transferring... preferably *before* Square-Enix tries to lock down Dynamis completely again in some attempt to stop the bleeding. And so you don't have to look it up which ones are still open;
Primal
Behemoth
Excalibur
Leviathan
Ultros
Crystal
Balmung
Brynhildr
Coeurl
Diabolos
As for what content I play, as that does tend to influence data center choice, pretty much all the roulettes I can access, including raiding and PVP. I don't really do the RP thing, but then I also admit I've gotten lonely enough (...not that kind of "lonely") that I've walked into venues just to remind myself other people do gather, interact and talk in this game even if I myself am a terrible conversationalist. I mean, just look at all the text I made you read, concise I'm not.
I doubt there's any compelling argument for why I *shouldn't* transfer, but for anyone else on Dynamis that's currently enjoying it? I'm happy for you, truly given the state of it, but... I no longer want to call Maduin my home.
