I'd expect it to be like Isle of Thunder where your participation as a server opens it for your faction further, but also with a timed unlock in case of very small severs so they don't have to suffer the cities never getting finished.

Statue in the Burning Steppes? You know that's from ages ago before Ragnaros kersploded the area, right?

I did start a goblin to see the Cataclym content. It just smacked me more clearly in the face how awesomely dominant the quests felt kicking the crap out of the Night Elves and taking their settlements, seeing their former shop keepers and NPC corpses littering the area of my victory. It just sort of furthered the sharp contrast to me.
My solution to the problem is.....the races of Eorzea are united against the Galean Empire, so I'm going to put my efforts into supporting that story mostly.
The arbitrarily split player base has been a bad idea for MMO design in my opinion.
