I thought of something today that might help those of us who get to play Beta to have more fun, and therefore play/test/contribute more...

The Roadmap stated that Phase 1 would begin with 5-10 servers. I think it would be nice if in the Beta forums they designate which worlds could be unofficially designated to our (prior) server names. Beta testers wouldn't necessarily be required to create and play characters on those test worlds, but if they wanted to, they might find more of their 1.0 friends.

For instance, the Beta forums could set forth:

Beta World 1 to unofficially host players from Aegis and Sargatanas
Beta World 2 to unofficially host players from Balmung and Durandal
(you get the idea)

I know in Phase 1 and 2 it will not matter because all character data will be deleted but I would still really like to run into and test Beta with friends if I could. What do you guys think?
