nothing to my knowledge, there was some stuff only available during the beta phases though (perhaps people got confused and though that stuff would stay)

Nah.
Only advantages I'd see are the starter packs that get's the 3 day head start, that's it really.
And for names, I own "Mother" and "Galadriel"

server wise, i'll probably end up playing on Soho.

I made my characters on Mushin.

i play on mushin too

Do you guys think there's gonna be a fg-market for b&s stuff?

There is always a fg market for any game that has trading

I can't see why not, when this game launches officially and people see that is f2p, it's popularity will grow.
And that'll surely lead to some sort of fg market, i'm sure of it.
I would also like to add that 'Mushin' seems like the most popular server.
Took this off of reddit bladeandsoul section.

Mushin - Megaserver, reddit/zerg hub, more people, more trolls, more open-world PvP, more everything
Pohawan - Second place, people who don't want to be on primary server but still want certainty of population, I heard a couple language-'guilds' looking at this.
Jiwan - Unofficial Roleplaying server, (un)official cool kids block, third place so not worried about population, generally wanting more mature and respectful folks.

Sorry for double post, but if you wish to add your comments, I made a site suggestion topic.

I'm going on Soha. Rather not compete with dozens of other people. Servers aren't going to be dead.
