I vaguely recall talk of a player questionaire that would allow people on the megaserver to be segretated by their game style and preferences. Like RPers who prefer the company of adults and emotionally mature younger people would be steered toward the same phase of the megaserver. The same with PvPers, leet-speeking kiddies and the like. The whole idea of a megaserver only appealed to me because it came with a clause saying I'd be in the same phase as my friends, guild-mates and like-minded individuals.
What became of this?
Brunhilda Icehammer - Nord Dragonknight, 'Smith & Enchantress 'What is 'ranged? I need to hit something!!'
Laehl Direthorn - Bosmer Nightblade, Purveyor of fine Clothes, Bows and Staves
Reeza gra-Zuni - Orc Templar 'War Shaman' and Apothecary
Noemi Snowpaw - Kajiit Dragon Knight - I laugh... or I'd have to kill you.
Kitera Dreamon - Breton of The Dominion: Because those Daggers don't appreciate a great Mage.
Lysara Shadowcroft - Dunmer Bloodmage: This will only hurt a lot.
