Well I often question why new people often join Balmung or any other already full populated servers despite knowing how full it is.

Ya they may have friends in real life that play on Balmung or the other full servers but a good amount of new players do not and are often attracted to high populated servers because there are more people in the servers.

It could be the desire to find easy pre-set up guilds or that there are more willing veteran players that may aid them as they advance.

However, most often I notice they don't really see the actual consequence of joining a high populated server until it is to late as the first day has shown with a bunch of people already quiting the game or moving to a different server in the game on 4.0 early access release because they could not join high populated servers like Balmung.
