It's not gonna be as bad as OCE, come on now. We're in a dead period between patches so the only ones still around are housing fanatics, roleplayers and some raiders doing old content. I expect Dynamis to grow when the next patch launches and people come back from their breaks.

Surprisingly, a lot of people actually is in Seraph. Imo it's like the next Balmung. It's still lively even after I checked today, as lively as any world in Crystal imo. It's just a bit slower in terms of having more sprouts to run content since most players are still in ARR or HW while the rest are Lv 90 transfers. Dunno about the other worlds though.

Oh these NA worlds will populate very well. There is no comparing the situations between Materia and Dynamis. Seraph is already having issues with people unable to make characters during the day. North American servers have been way to populated and thinning them out is a smart move by SE.

OCE on the other hand needs help and DC travel would help them immensely in my view. They will either need to offer them that or merge OCE with another DC if things don't improves drastically in my view. I still think it's not too late to move a couple fully populated Japanese servers to OCE and make a couple new ones in Japan. Bottom line is I don't see SE letting OCE languish for too much longer if things aren't going to improve.

They will be forced to take action.

Just for reference sake. Lucky Bancho's latest census put Balmung and Mateus at 34,000 active characters—nearly a full 10k higher than most of all Aether servers, and more popular than every single Materia server combined. NA has been absolutely bursting and could have actually used the fourth DC. Oceania is, sadly, something of a failed experiment.

I can't see them moving a whole server to OCE though. That'll upset far more people than it will benefit. It also doesn't work as they discovered with Crystal. They had to repeatedly lock out Aether to stop being from flooding right back to their preferred DC.
