I expect that the lack of a thread on this already indicates that no one cares, but thought I'd make one anyway just in case.
Here's what we know:
Server name: Fippy Darkpaw
Opening date: 15th February 2011 approx. 6pm GMT
Server type: PvE Progression
In brief, a new official progression server will be opening soon. Like the old progression servers, you start off with all the expansions locked until a time where the nerdiest of the no-lifers complete a number of challenges to unlock the next expansion. Unlike the old progression servers, it sounds like there will be an extended grace period before unlocking the new content, as well as providing a server wide vote that can extend this period if the majority decides that mincing about in lambent greaves is sufficient.
Here's the lowest of the lowdown:

One thing I don't understand is that they call it a time-locked progression server yet state that players need to defeat challenges to open the expansions. At least with an absolute minimum of nearly 3 months before kunark is unlocked, and possibly longer, the poopsockers can't ruin the server before the (relatively) normal people get a chance to quit after remembering how painful and boring the game is.
Anyway if you fancy a go then there a couple of packs available on stream to either bring you all the way up to date with the expansions for £30, and almost all the way for £16. I'd most likely get the cheaper one as chances are I'll be sick of it in 15 mins flat, but who knows.

And I'll be voting "no!" to any expansion unlocks past Kunark (maybe Velious!)
