It appears as if hometown populations are finally starting to spread out some, with 58% of the world residing in Galadon (it used to be much higher).
Out of curiosity, what is the prime attraction of residing in Galadon? I wouldn't mind making the other hometowns more attractive to help spread out the population further.
In the past the main attractions have been:
(1) It's newbie-friendly.
(2) Low-level ranking areas are nearby.
(3) It's central in location.
(4) It has each of the guilds.
(5) Arbiters patrol it fairly often.
(6) There are several ways of entering/leaving the city (which can aid in escaping, etc).
