The wards will not grow infinitely because the servers do have population caps anyways - so if Balmung is filling up it would add supply on BALMUNG as needed.

As for Mateus I just bid on a private with 0 bids.
Forgive me if my understanding is incorrect but I don't think that should ever be a solution. That would lead to a situation where every one would just pile into a single server and would leads to even worse server instability and congestion no?

There's a reason why SE has rolled out more new worlds and for players who really want to own a house, they can roll a character on the new worlds as there's little to zero competition. Having said that, I am personally on Balmung itself and I've already made my peace with it being housing savage compared to other new worlds. I've also created alts on OCE previously to experience housing where there are literally still several empty wards right now even one year into the creation of OCE data center.
