For now it's (mostly) a blackmail to force Nutaku into more favourable cut/terms and to test the waters.

If Nutaku won't be cooperative and/or new server takes up well enough by itself, Nutaku's license will get the prompt ax, and all these Nutaku players will get no choice but to move.

And as other people correctly pointed out, its separate from JP server because it has different content due to need for translation. DMM not willing to delay JP content based on need to translate on launch and its extremely difficult to share playerbase between servers with different content on them (plethora of bugs&exploits possible).
