...but in terms of active population, the smallest realm that received a lock - Mandragora -
has a population of 7k. Balmung has almost double that.
Like I say, I think Mandragora's total population was probably taken into account as well? But I still think that's something to bear in mind when speculating on how long it will be before the lock is lifted.
I actually think Mandragora was chosen because it was top 3 of its data center. Leviathan and Tonberry have similar numbers but they're only the top in their data centers. There isn't as drastic a difference in populations.
Based on Bahamut's 9-10k lock on a single server, I think that's more of the hard limit. 7-8k is a soft limit for 'highly congested'.
I'm less sure of the "well there's no split coming" now. xD; I didn't know FFXI had that similar situation.
