I still think you guys are mistaken on a number of things. It will probably be similar to DAoC.
The USA:east most likely refers to a set of worlds(read games) that are run from a server-cluster in the eastern US. You would decide you server cluster of game you want to look at in order to get the best ping.
For example: If you live in New York you would choose the USA east server because it is closest to you. You would then see a set of compleatly separate games that you can choose to join. For each game you want to join, you can choose and empire and make 4 characters in that empire. This way you could be part of 3 games, 3 empires, and in control of 12 characters. If you want to defect on one of those games, you would likely defect all 4 of your characters in that game to the new empire.
You wont have to delete 4 battle-rank 20 characters in order to try out the Vanu, NC, or TR. You would just have to start up some more characters on another game.
