Well, I'd add to that that the new players vastly outnumber the old ones.
That's an important point, IMO, because it changes the dynamic considerably. In most MMOs, the "subscription spike" after each expansion is mostly old subscribers coming back for a time; rarely does an expansion attract a bunch of new players. In ARR, however, the spike is going to be mostly new players and will be a dramatic increase over the old player base.It's that difference that's why I'm especially comfortable playing on Balmung -- I know that I won't be one little person trying to join an enormous existing community.
