After receiving confirmation from Naoki Yoshida, some servers will be open with the arrival of the 2.0 version, and it will only be possible to join these servers with a new character. That means new players will have the choice of starting equal to everyone, or pick an "old" server.

(the following part isn't very clear) To prevent inflation, it is planned that future market wards will diminish gil from certain players. Same thing for high level content. That doesn't mean these market wards and content will only be accessible to rich players !

Everything is still under development, so I can't give you more details.
