Occasions for occasional player
Sius:
Well when server side files are released it would be good to establish some secondary server along with official 2238 server. I mean it should be hosted elsewhere but it should be somehow connected with 2238 so we will play under one roof with familiar people. Because it would be bad if there are like 10 PvP servers but every one of them with just 30-50 population.
Anyway it feel somehow strange to separate people into more servers. I would rather like to see one server that fits everyone instead of choosing between PvE and PvP servers. Also server side will not come with content that we are used to. It will be vanilla stuff but I doubt 2238 dev team will provide their files and changes they made to support PvP server but I hope I'm wrong about this one.

Naah, I think you are wrong. I don't play PvP, becuase it is boring to me and I'm too slow to be useful there, but many people I know have their "vision" of FOnline just like that: no timeouts, simplified crafting, no guarding towns, no reloging restrictions, some balance between BG-SG-EW and here we go. Guys, be patient, there is a light in your tunnel :>
Sius is right however, making too many servers could "kill" the community. But it don't have to - necessary is to make so good server rules, that people won't leave. Those with bad or stupid rules will die sooner or later, so the hell with them.
Badger:
I'm undecided about whether more servers will kill or increase the community. The community could get fractured as people break off to make their own personal FOnline, or the playerbase expands as servers open up for people with different tastes. When it comes down to it, I can't see there being that many people committed enough to actually make a server good enough for public play.
Only time will tell, I guess.

With my idea I purposefully wanted to fragment the player base. Those who are interested only in PvP and abuse every way to get to level 21 as fast as possible can go to a server where level 21 is five minutes' work. Those who want to play like good noobs can stay on the normal server and enjoy non-nerfed exp gaining because all the no-life grinders grinding for 21 and PvP will be somewhere else.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.
You speak about PvP like its something evil that should be banished. Man its essential for most MMOs out there and it should also be part of any MMO that wants to have "Fallout" in its name.
