Would split the community.. except that those that really don't like getting ganked & camped will move on and do something else with their time. If a PvE server were opened, those of us who loathe the so-called "world PvP" (Which is rarely anything resembling a fair fight. The Astranaar raids were fun, and so was defending Splintertree Post, but those are completely different from a higher-level character camping some quest-giving NPCs (Nesingwary's camp in STV, anybody?), or facing a group of enemies who end up camping you, and so on.
I enjoy PvP, don't get me wrong, but I enjoy fair fights. One-sided "pwnage" isn't sporting, and will easily ruin a person's evening. If this server develops to have enough of that, then I am certain that I shan't be the only one to abandon it, even though it's one of the best server I've played on (with regards to bugs, pathing, stability, etc.).
Those who say that adding a PvE server would split the community seem to assume that those who'd migrate to a PvE server would remain in the community without a PvE server. Some will, but I wager that some won't.
