Just to toss a suggestion out there since there is all this haggling over the ruleset.
Since they are planning a PvP server merge anyway why not do it this way: Start the teams server with the stipulation that if the population craps out within the first year all the characters on it will be moved to Red99 and the teams server will be wiped, the ruleset changed and then restarted.
So if the ruleset they go with is fatally flawed in some way the understanding is already in place from day one that they will wipe and change it.
It's almost what they were planning to do anyway. Announcing it in this way would just give them an excuse to tinker with the ruleset all they want until they get it right. Or as right as possible.
This would also let them experiment with some of the wilder ideas out there with the understanding that it's all basically just test runs until something works out well.
