Balmung's population is so high probably because of the community and being a legacy server, a lot of the 1.0 players are adding into it. There are two things Se can do now...
1: Expand server cap. While i have no idea how they work their systems, they could potentially find some way to add more capacity by next Xpac if possible with how popular FF14 is. Yet that would also mean MORE people will be able to join Balmung and possibly cap the player count again.
2: Disable Character transfer to Balmung for good: It pains me to offer this idea but really...Transferring is hurting the population further to the point where we may never see access to make new toons on the server. I am probably of the rare kind that plays more than one physical character (5 in total not counting NPCs and including those with little bios) and i've transferred as many as i could for the time. But till they fix the problem of population control they should either shut down character transfer for Balmung or all together.
While i am happy to see more homes (And hopefully no more people grabbing them and reselling them...) and the population grow, it worries me for others who may stumble upon our community who want to RP...but find out they have no way of entering because it's jam packed worse than Moonguard's Goldshire.Â
I think they have the cash to try and expand the cap of player servers by this point. It goes for all legacy servers too.
