1) Thanks, that would be nice.
2) I think you underestimate the number of people that will come once they realize what AoOO actually is. It's not that widely known at the moment, but it will be, once you will offer accounts and people will start talking. And really, 2000 people? That's doesn't even cover *one* of the bigger fandoms out there. Okay, I don't know where you want to go after that and maybe you're going to amp it up to 20,000 and everything will be fine (if you only invite HP fans ; )
Nevertheless if I were you I would not do the queue thing - to make this work you would have to offer a at least a queue per continent. If you want to be fair, open the list up for a day and do a lottery later. (And yes, this will probably mean that I won't get an account until the end of days, because I'm extremely unlucky with these things *g*)
Also, I'd be very careful in which way you start spreading the invites after that. Looking back at the DW thing, you might not want to give the impression that this a BNF/elite thing. (If you ask me this is the reason why DW never really took off. It had too much "bad press" before it even really started. There were several weeks were fandom was literally seething.)
3) Yeah, well, your members could also be a testing group ; )
