I disagree with that, Zalera as well as other extremely low populated servers, been like this for years. Constantly people were complaining that they can't get anything done via PF/DF/RF and that was before SE introduced data center duty queue's and cross world party finders. Plenty people transferred to that time, either to Balmung, Gilgamesh, Leviathan, Tonberry. Since all these servers are more than full/overpopulated for quite some time, they needed a reason, people would transfer off the overpopulated server, to a dead server. This initiative was introduced just because of that, and I have to say, it did a great job at that. With exp etc, buffed already years ago, in comparison to old ARR times, it is not difficult to reach level 60 and that even very quickly. Should have there a warning/notice? Yes, in that case SE dropped the ball, but should the buff still exist? No because now the server is medium populated, and that was the whole idea of it.
