Balmung, Solutions to fix your.. population balancing.

[Rufalus]

A bit late for this idea but maybe they should have no worlds, instead each zone is instanced like Limsa Upper Decks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and the entire datacenter of players can freely pick an instance when switching zone. Then all of Aether dc can role play with each other. This model also keeps all the field zones like Peaks alive, you just pick the instance with the most people on it to get Fate parties going, can easily fill at least one of the instances without World boundaries dividing the population. Combined datacenter would make housing have like more than 100 wards but the ones that were previously locked to underpopulated worlds could then be bought by people from overpopulated worlds that didn't have opportunity before.
