I haven't read thru this long thread, but I think legacy player should allow to test it because at least the legacy players are pretty much well understand how bad the 1.0 was and can go straight to test out the improvements we expected.

Giving to random people is pretty much going the same route as we did for the 1.0 beta... Everyone just enjoying the graphic, wandering around at low level area and dreaming there will be something big later.
