That doesn't mean any organization that forms in beta will fall completely apart and that we'll be mulled into chaos on Day 1.

Even if they only have 1 beta server most people will probably know what server(s) they will join at release, so some of the structure/alliances formed during beta will still exist and others will be planned by beta players based on which servers people will be moving to, and implemented on the individual Production servers once they are up.

But like I said, there will be a variety of different structures in place at release that all will contribute, like existing PS1 outfits and PS1 outfit alliances, SL/PL/OL/other chat channels, the Commander character class(es), the mission system, etc.

Crator has asked the $64,000 question though: what specific commanding abilities will the Commander classes/skill trees give people on Day 1.
