Don't forget the 2 people playing from Zaire. Need to make sure they are included. Anyways, all kidding aside... Funcom is never going to have the people to run events at all time zones on both RK1 and RK2. The right path is to allow people that are interested in the story to go to a webpage and select to have a specific char moved over. That night, the char is moved over. They can't play that char until it is moved over. At the time of filling it out, they select a name if there is a conflict.
Then have the storyline on RK1, and make RK2 a PVP 0% zone everywhere. Or do something else that's interesting on RK2. Heck, make it a mirror image of RK1 every couple weeks and turn it into another test farm.
But in order for Funcom to pull off the storyline sucessfully, they need to concentrate on one Dim. That's what they are doing now, and if their attention is split to focus on both, then both sides will get jipped.
Funcom, make the bridge so we can move over.
