Reason for transferring to a high pop server?

[Arkista]

My FC (old FC now) is leaving Goblin for a high pop server because of the fear that our lower pop server will die out of people. Imo: in previous mmos servers just got merged so this wasn't a big deal.

My boyfriend and I are staying and not moving with them. I'm wondering what the reasoning behind this is? Plenty of people LFG/FC on our current server. Imo: if there is no open world pvp plans we don't see a need to move.

Wondering others thoughts on the subject.

Why would anyone ever want to transfer to a high pop server? Maybe your FC doesn't do much? But to me being on a low pop server would be good less people to deal with, More gil for crafters cause you wont have 5k ppl trying to undercut one another. And DF times are going to be the same no matter where you go. More people doesn't always mean better.
