"Slowly"

I know we ain't close to dead. I'd rather they get more people out anyways since if they just did it now we'd get locked in seconds. I add a lot of people to friend list, and yet only a few have left the server. I had an fc member ready to move, but didn't, simply because he realized it wouldn't be worth it now.

If players had a stronger reason to leave, we'd be fine. Gilg could escape because, although large, it wasn't Balmung large. Square wants over half of our pop to leave, and that's just not happening without some strong reason to.
