If done properly, there are ways to make a server split fair. Let people pick on the mog station which of the 2 new Balmungs they want to be on. The split doesn't need to be exactly 50/50. People that don't pick will be assigned randomly. Since we have cross-server partying now statics should not be disturbed by this (and people can coordinate it anyway if they want to be on the same server).

Afterwards, put a hard cap on the servers and let no one transfer to it if that hard cap is reached. Also don't allow new character creation in that case.
