Just in case my hamster analogy inspires Rogean to realize "hmm... I like hamsters... I'd rather have 600 hamsters than only 100 hamsters," let me make one last suggestion for a theoretical third server.
State at launch that the server is not permanent. State that, once the server has gone through a double-speed timeline all the way to velious, there will be a vote every 6 months after velious release asking if the players want a wipe. As soon as the majority of the population says they want a wipe, it all starts over.
That way the current red and blue servers remain the only permanent servers. Rogean promised there would never be a wipe, and he doesn't want to fail at keeping that promise. He doesn't have to. Make a separate, non-permanent server with an accelerated timeline and double xp rate and let the players know up front their toons can eventually be wiped by popular demand.
