Really not just Balmung anymore.

Gilgamesh, while definitely a crowded server, not once has ever been deemed a "congested" server despite being the prime hub for hardcore players.

Meanwile, Mateus is only as crowded as it is because it's Balmung's overflow server. That's how I know that it's not a problem with Aether as much as it's a problem with Balmung.

Isn't that pretty much what they did with Tonberry?

I thought so too, but I've been seeing more and more Aussie players on NA servers, so I wasn't sure these days.
