Must I join the Eternal Flame?

Just to note: The main reason why Ul'dah became the center point was because all the stories verge there and maintain there for the most part. (this leads people to just stay there and setup camp)

Actually it was all about the markets. I knew before the game laucnehd that Ul'dah would end up being the market hub thanks to it being the center of the world, being the best designed city, and because it's home to two melee classes [melee classes skew to the popular side in games], mostly because of the markets, though.

Gridania likely stands the chance of having the second highest population in the future [depending on how much Garlean content they push and how relevant it is, it might overtake Ul'dah at times, but just assume it would take a #2 position], and Limsa will be a distant third for quite a while.
