I've noted more activity in the other cities on my server as well. In relation to the slight population shift, I've noticed the wards in the other two cities also pick up slightly. I myself have been avoiding Uldah well before 1.18. I prefer the other cities and surrounding areas, mostly for asthetic reasons.

That is not to say that Uldah isn't still the Grand Central of Eorzea here, but I think as the devs continue to add unique benefits to each city, you will see people spread out more over time.
