I believe it's standard practice to create new servers only when needed, it's not in our interest to have any nearly-empty servers out there.

As for the channeling thing, I tried to explain it in another thread some time ago:

I'm sure that most would appreciate any efforts to make your first, few impressions of Aion smoother. It's not something that is considered for areas beyond that, and it does not change how servers work in any other way. Aion is still designed as a game taking place in one, singleton world (well, per server).
