Will servers be expanded for expansion launch?

[HorseBoots]

One thing that freaks me out is that I nearly always get a queue when logging into balmung. And right now, not -that- many people seem to be playing.

If the population doubles when the expansion is released, will servers with heavy populations (like balmung) be able to handle the load?

I get disconnected a lot, and it would really suck if I couldn't complete a dungeon because of a 20min+ queue wait each time I have to log back in. Even now I occasionally miss out on a dungeon if I D/C near the end, due to the occasional long queue.

How can Balmung's population possibly double when you need to make a blood offering to get a character made on it?

I know a lot of ppl on balmung still have a character on there, but haven't been online for half a year. I have a feeling most of them will all come back at once to try out the expansion. So there's a chance that there will be double the normal amount of people -playing-.

So overall population may not increase
But the # of people trying to play at once may spike for a few weeks
