If anything it gives a good idea of what the new EU DC will be like, not only 2 worlds or 4 worlds but 8 entire new worlds, with 2 new servers that they couldnt even fill, I'm sure 8 will go better right ? People might go over for housing, and then it'll be the new Materia, except that it'll have DC travel, the entire DC will be dead and everybody will DC travel to chaos or light to do content or hang out with friends, the fact they are going ahead with spreading an already medium sized community over an entirely new DC is ridiculous, and sure it might peak a little bit at release of 7.0, and then what when it dies down ? People will be stuck there on a dead datacenter and will be forced to pay to move.

Also it really is time to stop talking about this game "growing", it isnt, if anything its stable or trending down slightly thanks to there being barely any content, I could pull up charts number but people will yell that it isnt accurate (yet it is).
It may not grow as much right now but wait until 7.0 and we'll see a rise again, like with EW but that's just speculations.
As for how the experience going to be like when we get brand new servers on a new DC, it's hard to say. It's been over a decade since we had brand new DC for EU playerbase and game has changed a lot since 2013.
