I haven't seen any way of checking how full or empty a World is and currently it feels that almost all NA/EU Worlds are beginning to reach the population limit.It's definitely true that we can't know the server population things on other servers, but a little google-fu makes it seem like Faerie, for example, is also popular with the FFXIVrealm website people. Behemoth as well seems to have a sizable interest from other groups. Of course, this is all based off the vocal population, which as we know will always be a shadow of the true population.
I am not against a third World to be picked, but it remains a hassle. Even more so with this being early access and the errors being all over the place. The official launch lets in the people who weren't able to preorder (like me) or were too late to do so, adding to the pressure the Worlds are already suffering from. Yoshida has already admitted the Worlds are reaching their limit and warned everyone that removing the limit won't make it any better for anyone. These warnings and heads-ups make it feel like picking a third server is pointless unless you can convince a whole role play population to head over to a Japanese server and also stay there for (perhaps) a few months until SE has managed to work out the kinks and made their servers a whole lot more stronger to handle the player/character capacity.
