As bahamut falls and phoenix climbs, taking bets on the next response

Will they close phoenix, before opening bahamut (the literal second bahamut is reopened it will fill up again)

Will they just close phoenix and leave bahamut closed even as it continues to drop.

Or will they decide not to quadruple down and attempt to actually address the underlying issue(s).

It's about two months away from happening, maybe three

They’ll lock it down. Fujito said as much during the Q&A when asked about future locking servers, as well as having no plans/“unable” to make anything cross-server to address consequences of locking servers. Also he said they’re not looking to create incentives for people to leave larger servers. So it’ll just be a game of lock-lock-lock.

SE is completely dropping the ball and not taking advantage of the growing popularity of XI.

SE is working with what they have and on track to create ~6 mid-population servers. The locks are necessary to prevent players self-building another super server.

The what now? The only way we can gauge this is with the estimates from this site's Database. According to it, we currently have 83,000~ active characters, compare that to a year ago when this post was made. We are down ~30,000 active characters from one year ago, roughly 25%. SE absolutely has dropped the ball, and almost never capitalizes on population spikes, but right now is not one of those times.
