I thought the PS4 version shared servers with the PS3 one?

Or is that SOE DC Universe online, which also has the ability to not loose access to it on the other console :/

Lots info is left out from the article, the original post has all the explanations:

All consoles share server (PS3 PS4 PC) after release (but Beta will be on separate server).

If you transfer PS3 license to PS4, you will not be able to use PS3 to log into your character anymore. Your character however will not change and still on the same server.

To play on both PS3 and PS4, you will need add a new PS4 license to your account rather than upgrade PS3 to PS4. This is consistent with how it's working now: PC user could not log into their account using PS3 unless they also add PS3 service to the account. The monthly fee does not increase, only need to link the registration code.

A big screw up it was.

But practically no other company except Square would take a failed product like XIV(or want to), re-build it from practically the ground up and actually deliver a solid MMO.

Actually, come to think, I may have used this joke earlier.
