The only way to consolidate the community to one server is to have everyone choose a low population server such as Mateus for RP and then all of the communities on Balmung+others go to the designated server. That is honestly the only way because I can say with 99.9% belief that Square Enix will not a) create a new server for Aether and b) will not ever put resources into supporting Balmung or Gilgamesh.
This is based on the active populations and the restrictions they've set on top of their decision to add worlds for Chaos. Chaos has a fairly even distribution across all of their worlds. Aether is not because of Balmung and Gilgamesh. Gaia has Bahamut that's like a mini Gilgamesh. Mana has Chocobo, Mandragora, and Shinryu. Tonberry isn't Elemental's very big problem child yet and neither is Leviathan because the rest of their data center is fairly even and not nearing the soft limit.
You're better off deciding whether or not Balmung being locked indefinitely (until it sees at least 4k leave) or a low-population server being designated (by Roleplayers and/or Square Enix) as the new RP world is going to make you leave or not. Cause in my opinion, that's where it's headed. Those six servers seem closed until their populations drop down to maybe 7-8k.
