FFXIV to get more servers on Dynamis along with housing and relocation bonuses
As Final Fantasy XIV’s Dawntrail expansion prepares to sail into Eorzea later this month, another announcement revealed that Dynamis, the latest Data Center addition to the game, will be getting some new servers. That also means lots of new residential districts and some tempting relocation bonuses for those interested.
Along with class changes, FFXIV is set to receive some world changes as well. According to an official announcement on Lodestonethe Dynamis data center that was added during the Endwalker expansion will get some new servers for players to potentially call home.
These servers include:
- Cuchulainn
- Golem
- Kraken
- Rafflesia
To give players enough time before Dawntrail to decide if they want to settle into one of these servers, they will go live next week on Tuesday, June 11th (3am PDT).
While Dynamis has yet to gain significant traction in terms of its player population, there are plenty of tempting transfer/character bonuses as part of FFXIV’s World Population Balance Incentive for all newly added data centers.
For those who don’t know, if you decide you want to create a new character on a “new” server, or transfer an existing character to one, there are a few very generous bonuses offered for doing so.
However, note that these bonuses will remain available until the world population for a given server reaches a certain threshold. If you move to a server and it reaches that threshold soon after, your applied bonuses will still remain in place for 90 days.
These New World bonuses include:
- Double EXP bonus until Level 80 is reached
- 10 x Silver Chocobo Feathers (can be traded for low-mid gear to make leveling easier)
- Gift of 1,000,000 gil
- 15 days of free play time
Remember that the gil bonus can only be applied once per data center to one service account. Additionally, those currently on a free trial must purchase the full game before Level 30 to receive both the gil and playtime bonuses. More details about the transfer bonus can be read on the Lodestone here.
New FFXIV servers also bring new residential districts
As most seasoned FFXIV players now know, new servers also mean lots of new residential districts with hundreds of new plots to choose from. This also serves as another incentive to settle on a new server, as fewer players means much less competition in housing lotteries.
Residences will be available on all new Dynamis servers on Tuesday, June 11th (8am PDT). In a similar fashion to other residential districts in the game, Wards 1-9 are only open to Free Companies, while Wards 10-24 are private plots for individual players.
If you are interested in getting a house for yourself, be sure to remember that there is a demolition timer for all occupied housing plots in FFXIV, due to overwhelming demand for space. If you do not log in and visit your house for more than 30 days, it will be automatically demolished and the basic value of the plot (in gil) will be returned to you. However, all indoor/outdoor furniture placed in the plot will be lost.
