Consider 150 people for each person, with many overlapping... that is a highly intertwined community where one person's leaving can have a cascade of effects on RP.

I'm quite familiar with Balmung's rp community. I was a member of it for over two years and only started fresh on a new server because I stopped roleplaying in-game (only do FFXIV rp in skype/forums now). It's definitely tight-knit with a solid core of players that support each other and housing hubs that people have spent tens of millions of gil on. A new server has none of that.
