That's pretty much unavoidable, with one catch - those players won't be hanging out with the 1.0 people, at least at first. S|E has already said that they want to segregate the 1.0 characters at launch in order to prevent the economy of new servers from being imbalanced for some players. They want to ensure that new players won't be at a disadvantage or have to deal with inflated prices due to the overwhelming wealth of the legacy players.

Myself, I find myself wishing I'd come back to 1.0 sooner than I did, because I found myself wanting to complete more of 1.0's content before the final save. Nostalgic worst to first tale, and all that.
Umm...they aren't segregating the community...you have a choice on which server you decide to join. 1.0 Characters are only allowed on 'Vet' servers, but anyone can create a new character on a vet server. The only limitation is New Characters are only allowed on New Character Servers...but any 1.0 player is also free to re-roll on one of those servers if they wish.
