I think politics will be really important, not as much as in PA days, but that's also a good thing ;-)
They will not reset the current worlds, but add new worlds over time, so when they add a new server, maybe we can all try to start together, but getting all on the same continent is really a problem for alliances in this game.
On Server 1 the alliance I'm in (Top 10) is currently trying to focus on one continent and make this a stronghold, so that everyone is creating a new city there if they don't have one yet.
