That's very true! I don't think it should be completely random but something instances could opt-in to or have some other opt-out criteria.

It would indeed be bad if an instance focused on a specific mindset, goals, or subject was essentially invaded by clueless new users!

Yeah I think opt-in would be great.

I think it could benefit severely from having like a couple of "newbie" instances where people get placed unless they choose otherwise, where their accounts then have to be migrated from by choice when a month has passed or something. Like a beginner server on an MMO with people who help newcomers understand the basics.
