The same player on official and experimantal server?

Hey everybody,
i have gotten a first taste of the experimental server some days ago, when the official server was down for a day (last weekend iirc). I expected both servers to use the same database, however, this was not the case.
I know, working in IT myself, that what i suggest now is a huge change in structure, nevertheless, i think it is the right thing to do.

Both servers need to use the same database.

Every player, and i mean every player i talked to, thinks that having the same character on both the official and experimental server would be an awesome thing to have. In case of downtimes, you could go on playing, train for XP, etc etc. The experimental server would finally see some use and decent testing, the load would be distributed more evenly, maybe even the lag issues would moderate a bit.
I'd love to see soemone from ngd comment on this (of course everyone else as well

).
IMO that would bring the game a step forward. Please share your thoughts on this. Thanks.
