I would love to see cross server instances so then it wont matter if you have characters on dead servers in the event you could not move them due to financial reasons.

For any new people that are unaware at one point a while back a dev jokingly said that the next issue (at that time) should be called, "All ur bases belong to us" and to this day some people claim that was a promise they never kept.
Hence the running gag when a dev posts something even remotely vague someone jokingly posts a wild speculation.

Devs failed to deliver on multitudes of promises!!

So, the new moon zone will only be accessible by cross-server teams?
Nice!

I think it more likely that trials would run on a separate trial server, rather than on another home server. Such an implementation would be simpler. Trials take place in a single instance for an extremely limited time. Nothing would be permanent. You wouldn't be bopping back and forth from one zone to another on a foreign server. No invitations would be involved, you'd just queue for the trial and you'd be thrown into it with other players, potentially from other servers.|

As far as the players have been made aware cross-server teaming requires changes to: ... |
That's not to say that the implementation would be trivial. Issues such as name disambiguation need to be addressed. And they have to make sure you and and all your stuff get into the trial and back to your home server intact. But it avoids issues with cross server play such as super group membership, market transactions, and so on.
This would be a boon for small population servers, where you can often wait for hours until enough people show up for a trial. If that implementation proves out, regular task forces could be adapted and implemented as trials. That could make the whole issue of server population a moot point.
