There is no point in having seperate forums for them simply because we are all playing the same game.
I disagree.

This is a unique opportunity to pull aside a fresh returning perspective without cuttering it up with people who've experienced acclimation to the game already.

Ignore every other debate. The sort of feedback they could give back may or may not be different, and the developers should seize the opportunity to have an uninterrupted channel of feedback for them, just as paid players have an uninterrupted feedback channel in the official boards as they stand now.

This isn't so much about segregating the players as organizing the data - not matter what everyone else says.

If and when the feedback and climate seems similar then I see no worries in merging these two said forums. But for for this event? Keep it separate - seeing the feedback objectively should be enlightening at best, amusing at worst. Either way, it's a learning experience I don't think we should skip out on.
