The most recent LuckyBancho census (13th of June) shows the population of Crystal, Aether, and Primal at 161,839, 154,954, and 150,251 respectively (although the amount of players who have completed the 4.1 MSQ is much lower on Crystal.)
While this census is obviously unofficial, and should be taken with a grain of salt (although the results are taken directly from the lodestone), it's still an indication on possible server load for each of the datacenters at launch.

That, or there's been a massive exodus from Crystal to Aether/Primal between the 13th and the 27th, although I find that a bit less believable.


It probably won't help, since it's ridiculously easy to circumvent the auto-kick.
It shows crystal as larger probably because people made alts on crystal
