it has nothing to do with balmung being "popular" and everything to do with the servers crashing. in fact, Jenova has nearly the same amount of active players as balmung. around 500 difference. the most popular server is gilgamesh. i get it that people hate balmung, but please at least look at server statistics before saying stuff like this.

source: https://ffxivcensus.com scroll down to ACTIVE population. inactive has nothing to do with this. (and even then Jenova has more characters over all on it than balmung lol)

The problem with these census sites is that they don't account for people who might be off-world. Some people practically live on other servers yet would be reported in the statistics for their home world. All of the people visiting Balmung for the brothels establishments and RP are all contributing to the server load yet won't show up in the censuses.

Census is also a year old almost so probably shouldn't be taken as accurate to current times.
