While it might be bad for the Live servers (in the long run)... the Live servers (in the long run) were pretty much on the long slide to server-merges anyway.
This way at least, there is a safety net. The character copy is a COPY, not a transfer (minus gold), and if there is a growing population on X, at least Live will continue to see expansions.
Anyway... as a subscriber, I'll already have Gold access, so I'll probably check it out myself.
