Is SOE trying to force the game into a predictable pattern?
Yes. I'd say so.
I believe they're making sure the initial release is high density madness so that when they bring out extra continents and expansions and more shop items everybody will have learned the ropes and will know what they're doing, plus it's going to generate a lot of buzz.
If they release a million servers with 18-20 continents it'll just be thousands of BF3 missions scattered all over the billion square miles of virtual space and nobody wants that.
Start off with a nice, easy to understand battlefields that you don't have to study too hard to learn where all the backdoors and sneaky places are (We're talking about 12-16 year old audience remember) and then gradually increase from there.
