Square Enix should do the same as GB in the real world's past. Send all prisoners to OCE to populate it (just joking).

Free transfers away would be the death for the datacenter. We need more incentives to go to OCE. Furthermore we need cross data dutyfinder. The cultural problems weren't that bad in 1.x. I used auto-translate really often and it worked. Sometimes cultures need to clash to learn more from each other.

For the remaining OCE Players I have a little optimistic point of view: with small amounts of people its way more important to have friends in active groups, FCs, LSs and so on. You get more dependent on each other to clear content and that increases the importance of the group. Your bond will be stronger than anywhere else. A real feel of a Final Fantasy lies before you.
