I had this large post mostly written that was going to basically be what Melkire typed as an admin. But to make my point of view (as a user) known, I see it as a very similar issue. A Fragmented community will have a more difficult time sustaining itself. Even if we were to have a new server brought in on the mix, to what extent would people actively work to keep it alive when they know there's already an established community they get pay to get in on?
The trampled patches of grass on Balmung and Gilgamesh could be seen as "more stable", "more enticing" or just "more RPer friendly" that the vast wilderness and wide-open plains of some other server. If given the choice, I think people would probably keep trying to drive on a paved road or dirt road than to drive through an open field/sand dunes/forest.
