I ended up on Balmung because my real life friends were legacy players that ended up there. At this point we're at about 80+ members in our FC; we have a house with a stable and the airship workshop. In short, we're too invested to leave Balmung for a less populated data center. I'm sure that's the case for pretty much everyone or else why wouldn't we move? And SE's answer to that is to have patience and try logging in during less congested hours. But food for thought, those of us on Aether pay the same exact subscription fee as the people on less congested data centers that are able to play while we aren't.
