Take what I say with a grain of salt since I only know about this event second hand from others rather than from the original organizer, but from what I had heard, even the organizer didn't plan on the event being this long. It really wouldn't surprise me if there's no one actually orchestrating it all and it's just people going in as a social hub at this point outside of anyone's control.

At the very least it'd be nice if people could disperse into the main cities and other zones, splitting that large of a crowd into 3 zones where the servers likely could handle a larger amount of players would still let people hang around as a large social gathering without it also affecting people trying to play the game normally. I don't think it's particularly fair that people who just want to play on their home server are effectively told to go to another server to be able to enjoy MSQ or whatever they were planning to do in the zones affected.

On a side note, I don't mind the idea that 1 or 2 of the servers in Materia could act as social hubs considering everyone is allowed to visit, hell it may even spring life into the queues and PF there; on the proviso that people don't just congregate into 1 zone on 1 server. At the very least spread out so that people playing don't get affected by the congestion.
