Basically this is what happened:

Outcasts (people with bad reps and etc) flooded onto the new world and created havok for the poor new people who joined on that world (basically max level crafters controlled everything and people were forced to buy off NPCs)
Linkshells who were tired of competition moved to it, which many other linkshells with the same idea moved to it, since fresh world and new people won't be in end-game scene for months.

This made these 2 new world uninhabitable for new players for the longest, so just having a lot of gil won't really do much to a new world compared to other factors because the greedy nature of humans always rears its head when there's a fertile opportunity to make a fortune off other's misfortune lol.
