On the Status of World Population Balancing Incentives and the Resumption of Private

We will see. Some people will undoubtedly transfer to Balmung, but how many? There really isn't much reason any longer to move there specifically unless you have friends who play there.
There are active role-playing communities on Mateus and Omega, so no need to transfer to Balmung specifically for RP anymore.
Cross-server DF and PF have removed several other reasons to want to be on a big server.

I think you underestimate how big of an appeal and rep Balmung has, and overestimate how big Mateus is for an NA RP server. While Mateus has a growing RP community, it doesn't hold anything to what Balmung already had and still has. This will only help destroy what Mateus has started up if it remains open more than a week or two.
