Something else found on the French forum about the same question. Thx to masahiro for this.
It have been post in september,

Hello!

Currently plans for the future of the server have not yet been finalized. Same thing with regard to the modalities of transfer at the launch for A Realm Reborn.

We expect the beta to determine if many players will return to the game (former players, who already have a character assigned to an existing World). Future decisions will be made ​​based on these figures. It is possible that the Ten Worlds today are no longer sufficient to accommodate all the players, which will influence our future decisions.

Ok... it's clearly the best answer were gonna get until then: "Not sure yet"... at least, it answers it for now.

I wasn't around for this, what do you mean/what happened? (so curious!)

Pretty simple actually...

- There is a heated debate
- SE decides what they do
- One side is angry at the decision... yells and shout...
- One side is happy and post some "stfu go play something else if you don't like it" to all negative comments
- SE changes their mind to accomodate both sides at the last minute
- Most people are confused by the way they are doing it
- Everybody whines about how bad they did the transfer (even though they tried to accomodate everyone)

So what did they first announce they were going to do, and then what did they end up doing?

Funny, the above could described just about any discussion on these forums.

what they originally said was they were going to allow the active players to go to the server of their choice if there was room in the server they wanted to join, but all players that were on break would be defaulted to a server with all inactive players. if they came back they would be allowed a chance to transfer to the server of their choice if that server had room otherwise they would be forced onto whatever server that had room. those players would be split from their friends/linkshells. the servers filled up super fast btw.

people complained that they would like their entire world to get merged with other existing worlds and then given an option to move away from that world. server a + server b/w an option to move away from that combined server to move to server c. this would allow the people that had friends that will be coming back on arr release to be on the same server as they were unless you decided to move away from that server.

se decided to go with the complete server merge instead of everyone having to manually decide which server they wanted to transfer to and splitting complete servers apart.
