Thinking a good scenario would be -Â
The creation of a new server. It would also have to coincide with a housing expansion, likely.
It would involve the server first being opened by people transferring off of Balmung, housing would switch 1 to 1 for those who transferred.Â
At that point, the one of two scenarios would be up to SE, regardless of which designate one or the other server as the RP Server.Â
They could hold the housing expansion off for those transferring from other servers to the designated RP server. Then either have houses transfer 1 to 1, or offer full refunds and have it be first-come-first served.
I'd honestly think this could be accomplished sooner if they held back further housing expansions until they could effectively double housing, then merge a couple low-population servers together to free up space for this idea. This is only if they can't afford the creation of new servers due to population disparity.
But in the end - I think overall the above methods may be the only real solution to the population disparity problem - Merge the low population servers, use the freed up space to offer splits for special interest servers such as RP.
