Not to mention that while it hasn't been directly addressed, I don't believe (and mind you, this is my own personal opinion. Others may differ) that there would be anywhere near a large population spike.
Bottom line, lore-wise I'm pretty sure only a few parties of adventurers were teleported by Louisoix. Yours, the one from the cutscene, and maybe a few others. I don't believe it was ever played up that thousands and thousands of people were instantaneously teleported. Sure, that's what's literally going to happen with the game, but that's across multiple servers and doesn't correlate entirely with the main story.
As far as the main story is concerned in-game, our "characters" were the lucky chosen few.
Now, in line with that, I'd like to believe that the people who were teleported, more or less, are those who actually roleplayed it happening. All the other people who don't roleplay are just sort of bodies that weren't a part of that, and that cuts down on the tens of thousands of others.
With that in mind, those that were teleported might well be under a 100 people, which seems much more plausible. A mass teleportation spell that could send thousands of people into the future seems kind of silly, since Louisoix would have been able to just save everyone present. I think it's inferred his magic could only save so many, so he chose the bravest among them, as is mentioned in this:
video.
As far as skills waning goes, you can simply watch the "A New Beginning" trailer to get a feel for what happened. They literally pop up still in the poses that they were in before they were teleported. I believe it's inferred that to them, it was the blink of an eye. Our bodies were perfectly suspended in time, which is why we haven't aged. We will be the exact same as when we left from that battlefield.
Lastly, us that were teleported will actually be unique in the lore of the world. It has been mentioned that those of us that were teleported will be known as "Hollow beings" or "Hollow ones" by the general public. What exactly this means, and why we're referred to as this is unknown yet. However, they most likely won't be able to just "blend" back into society for some reason or another. At least, that's what I believe is being implied. We won't exactly be normal.
