From the 39th producer letter (Nov. 30, 2012):



You choose a server when you create your test character. So my idea was just a way of evenly distributing players while giving them the find-1.0-friends-if-they-like-that-idea option.

We speculated a week or two ago that we'll all be in the same servers we previously in 1.0 for the main release and they'll just add new servers for new players. So that'll likely be true for phase 3 and 4. This is because they said that we won't get world transfer at release (I think) and if they let us choose servers to transfer our character to it will probably mark the end of a lot of link shells. I doubt there will be any server merges of the existing 1.0 servers unless they get bigger servers...
