That's the question I have. I wouldn't be moving unless my current circle of friends do. I have no real pressing dire need for roleplay so whether or not there is one doesn't affect my personal opinion. The thing is, Balmung wasn't restricted as it was before when other communities were started. Gilgamesh wasn't closed. There was always that loophole of being able to transfer. What is the minimum threshold that will motivate large groups of people, largely populated communities, to move?

Based on the graphs I've posted earlier, it's my opinion that Balmung and Gilgamesh will not see a removal of the lockout until at least 4k of each server's population moves to the lower populated servers. The fact that Balmung and Gilgamesh are on the same data center exacerbates the issue. If you look at the populations across all three, 7-9k is "very populated". Balmung needs to get halved to reach even 7k.
