This is the number one reason why I think we should refer to them [campaign levels] as Beta VII, etc.
Straw poll! Is this an awesome idea?

I do believe that by using Roman Numerals the confusion would be eliminated
My game handle is McCallister. I play mostly from 7pm -10pm Eastern Time. My WZ server is called "Good Times Server"

It wouldn't fit a game like WZ.

KukY has a point. Roman numerals are a bit ... retro.

Yes, that is what I thought.
Other then that, it's a pretty good idea.

I actually like "Beta Seven". Or maybe β-VII... Do we know if everyone understands roman numerals?

I suggest that instead of "Beta VII" we use multiple variations of my name.

Um, Beta 1 is the name of a mission. Are you suggesting we have zero beta releases? And zero alpha releases?
