A server wipe would take a portion of the CBT players out and a new server would dilute it resulting in multiple shell servers.
They only need 2 servers.
The current one for the CBT crowd, the other for us starting out from official day 1.
Honestly , a full wipe would be the ideal solution.
This way, they could rebalance gem rewards from stage completion and dailies ( they give way too little compared to other mobile games).

I disagree with adding a new server but a server has a limitation and capacity which is why this option is very viable if they want to increase the player base. 

But the problem with adding a server is not recommended because it would isolate a server when people migrate over. It happens during region separation for other title for example a SEA server was opened up and the Global server suffers when the SEA players shifted over which cause many guilds to disband in a short period of time.

Instead of focusing on the topic of Beta and Non-Beta players by separating them, why not think of something that would actually helps to encourage them to play together rather than separating them at first hand?

People are so fixated on separating CBT and Non-CBT I TOTALLY GET IT BECAUSE I'M ONE OF THEM but guys, opening a server DOES NOT SOLVE any problem. It's only delaying the problem until the times come you'll be hit harder than you can imagine. The problem won't disappear in thin air if you leave it there, you've to confront it. A problem can only be solved when both parties compromise, YOU CAN'T EXPECT EVERYTHING to go YOUR WAY.

We are the closed door testers that knows what happening in Beta Testing now.
But once they official launch, hundred of thousand players will pour in without them knowing whether there are testers like us.

How many games did you actually play at the 1st day? 
Are you telling me that if I join in the 2nd day or 2nd month of the game, then I will not play the game at all?
There are games like Summoners War, Seven Knight which is 1-2 years old with only region servers and still getting new players to play the game today. 

The more players in a server will be always better to play with for sure.

No. I don't know who the "us" is you're speaking for but your solution only favors what you want. I apologize if it hurts your opinion but its a fact.
No new player, who has done a little homework, would want to join the CBT server for the very same reasons you want a new server. What this entails is a slowly but surely dying CBT server with little to no fresh blood joining.
Everyone would want to flock to the new server for a fresh start, players from the CBT server would head there too and "whales", as many would call them, would dominate said new server with their money, pull ahead of the pack and people would start leaving.
Next thing you know, you would have 2 dying servers and resort to opening a 3rd. Rinse, repeat and you'll have multiple servers with less than half the capacity each.
(Which is exactly the same reason that is plaguing FunPlus' other game Dot Arena)

Wiping might indeed be a better solution but there is a huge risk of pushing away players who have committed time and effort into the game.

Gem rewards are pretty good right now imo. With only a single monthly card purchase, I've been able to earn ~3600 - 4000 gems at least with stage clears, achievements, arena milestones, events, etc. 
What other mobile game might you be referring to?

Actually, there isn't a real need for the new server because I believe there are a lot of players who are looking into content rather then just the PvP. In any case, server expansion is likely possible if it's to separate pools of players in term of regions just like Dragon Blaze. Server separation due to regional time zones because of events duration are affected and such. Basically there's "2" servers mainly Korea (for testing) and Global (which is further separated into regional servers - US, EU, SEA).

PvP aspect in many games is actually a form of profit for the company. Only through competitiveness then a company will be able to benefit from the consumers' pool. If a developer wants to make money, they will lean towards' PvP players' favors but result is losing potential consumers in the normal pool of players.

VF's concept is unique in many features, it allows many combinations and has a lot of potential in future contents be it PvP or PvE. It would be a pity if players play a game just to be affected by 1 content and quit. There are so many more contents yet to be discovered. Basically, it's still in her infant stage.

Take a look at Dragon Blaze for example. They have several contents target at different players to fit their play style. While there are people that definitely excel in PvP, they can't excel in other content like World Boss or Tower of Retribution. It's also the reason why they are so successful until now. They have dedicated teams behind each content and they keep working closely with the characters development team so that each pools of players can refine their play style continuously while introducing different characters that excel at different content. And when they are in their peaks of their respective pools, they can target other contents and compete which allow a lot of Replayability in the form of rotations.

A new content will unlock new achievement and rewards while waiting for future content to be released. This buffer period will allow players who are looking into other modes to improve their teams' synergy before diving in by earning achievements and the rewards from new content. I believe there are also future in-game events to help players in forming their ideal teams for many other contents.

Since CBT and OBT were meant for SEA-based region, would it make more sense to release a second server for Global (NA and EU) come official launch ?

EDIT:
Ok, I just noticed this post from Valiant Force facebook:
"Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea will most probably have a different server"

So different servers are probably in the works. Where's NA/EU in that ? :shock:
