Separate, but with a twist.

Your first toon on a server is kinda set like your homeroom. Yet you do have the ability to take your toons onto other servers. The only downfall so far been released about the multiple servers is the influence factor.

You earn influence by pvp, pve, nearly everthing you do. The only problem is you can only earn if on your home server.

You can go to another server and help out a friend in quests, storylines, but any influence accrued will not apply because you're away from your home server.

Oh ok, thanks for the info. So when you create a character, you don't select a server, it just kind of assigns one to you and then you're free to go back and forth between servers (with the influence penalty, of course)?

No... You do pick a server first then create your toon. Anyone you know else that's joining up with you plan your server selection carefully so everyone is on the same page.

And yes, there will be no boundries jumping from server to server barring the influence thing you mentioned.
