Perhaps they shouldn't have spent eight years "suggesting" the lowest pop realms to every new player. I think closing the servers would have been cleaner (especially if done like rift, with the option to move your character anywhere).
Reading the comment on mmochamp (battle net is down), it sounds like they really are just merging the servers and half your server is going to have conditionals tacked onto their name. Not great for immersion and I'll be curious how friends list will work using that (perhaps you'll only be able to friend linked realmers that give you their battletag? annoying if you're just trying to tell when someone signs on).
Probably bad for gold making but gold making wasn't as interesting this expansion anyway.
