But it won't be same situation. Player population is not the same as it once was. Dynamis wouldn't even have current 2,5 players if there was no DC travel. People will just naturally trickle to the most populated servers: raiders to Aether, RPers to Crystal. Dynamis will be left in submarine-farming ruins, Primal will probably be middleground where you'll farm like, ex trials and prog savages over 6 months. These who won't be able to transfer to Aether for raiding will unsub. These who won't be able to transfer to Crystall will unsub as well.
