This is their first MMO. They're playing it safe from the server tech side but I agree they seem to have the same limits as the very first gen MMOs like Everquest or Asheron's Call. Player names are global unique so there's probably some plans to unify servers at some point. World size probably also played a part as it is on the smaller side.
