I do not think there would be a case of original community vs migrated community especially because you could move if you wanted.
They never become one. For example, in XI "Titan" was merged into "Phoenix". To this day, there are few Titan people who feel like their community experience is anywhere near as cohesive as it was when they were on their original server. They view themselves as people from Titan, playing on Phoenix.

Option 4 levels the playing field to where EVERYONE is contributing to a brand new community equally. Building a new community together is a bonding experience, one that simply can't be replicated with a traditional blanket merge.
