Well if its any indication WoW today has over 430 servers to support its active western players EU&US (4-5 million subs).
Wow had huge issues at launch due to over subscribed servers.. they even yanked copies of the game off the shelves and stop sending more to retailers for 2 months... so It would be smart for mythic to put out more servers then they think they need.
In todays world its even more important to have a good launch so removing the chance of laggy and crashing servers is a good thing.
I don't know were it is, didn't make a mental note of the location, but I came across a list of 20 named servers the other day. This could be for launch or open beta as it wasn't stated. It also listed 4 for Oceanic. Nothing was posted for Europe.
My guess would be over 50 with all regions combined.
When I added up the total severs from thier server list it was 63. That was on Sunday so they may have added mroe than the 5 additional they added Sunday. That includes NA, Aussie. and Euro servers. I guess their 1.5 millon shipped copies explain the enormous amount of servers. Either way pretty amazing. Hopefully their servers will hold up under all the stress. The CE release yesterday was flawless for me. No crashes, no lag and no bugs. Almost made me think I wasn't playing a MMO.
1. Collector Edition players on Sept 14th .. 1st wave of players
2. Standard Edition Pre-Order Players on Sept 16th .. 2nd wave of players
3. Release date Sept 18th (looks like it will be a busy week in WAR) .. Final wave of players
You know whats cool though, is that us CE and SE players get to play the game before release date. Honestly. Mythic has done well within the last month, despite the folks in Europe with the GOA problems.
So with all do respect, we all been playing this game for about a month now, if you include Open Beta.
I like the way they went from Open Beta to CE Player Headstart in 1 day.. GOOD TIMES!
Oh yeah, I counted 50 servers myself as of 9/16/08
There's already 45 servers on the server status list http://realmwar.warhammeronline.com/realmwar/ServerStatus.war so im going with 50+ by launch. All 45 of those servers are active servers you can choose to login to right now during the HS. Course thats just NA

I'm not including the NA servers this is how many i think GOA with have at launch:
Normal.
PvP (bigger looses for dying maybe? Full Looting though this may not be a launch).
Normal RP.
RP PvP.
Its hard because they most certainly will have a german and french speaking server but at launch i don't know.
I wonder how many cracked servers there'll be and how long it'll take
To wank, or not to wank. The ultimate MMO sacrifice.

I bet a coin for 20 to 29 in EU. No idea about US.
This is the best signature ever. Well, it is really up to you to decide. :x
Typically, the answer to this kind of question is 42.
After seeing what the CE players went thru..
50+ servers will be no problem at all...
