I see lots of abuse coming, Thank goodness they're charging
So basically you can level somewhere quiet then triumphantly turn up on a busy server and make life hell for the lowbies in Stranglethorn Vale. Gold farmers can farm gold on a quiet server and sell it on a busy server. Uber players can collect their top end stuff on a busy server in a guild that farms end-game content, then jump into demi-godhood on a newer server. And of course a string of competitive pvpers can jump around looking for the servers they have the best chance to get Rank 14. Serial griefers and ninjas have a new way to evade social consequences
On the plus side, it's money the company makes that I won't be paying myself. So it keeps the whole carnival going longer - provided that is that the amount of players who get frustrated and move on is more than offset by the fees of people taking advantage of this
Presumably they won't be allowing transfers between different types of servers which means there's even more reason to re-roll on the RP PVP server when that comes out
