I'll say this:
Expecting your empty server to remain empty forever is just as unrealistic as someone on Balmung expecting character creation to stay open forever.
You don't get to essentially say, "but I like this hardware only being used by 3000 people!" when the average server population, the one Square Enix seems to be striving for on all servers (including Balmung and Mateus) seems to be around 10k.
* active numbers, based on this
Your server is going to grow. It's not "Balmung's fault" [nb. not a sentiment expressed in as many words by the person I quoted, but one I've seen], and it's not something anyone on this forum has the power to stop. And it's not for you, either. It's for Square Enix, so they can get the most out of their hardware. Because keeping an empty server switched on is (in theory) just as expensive as a server that's averagely populated, and Mateus was serving literally one third of the number of people it should've been.
Please stop trying to undermine people who want to do something fun on your server. It's not your right to tell them that their fun is ruining your fun, when your fun is dependent wholly on unrealistic expectations like "them not being there" and "my server being empty forever".
