I think it would be a good idea to repurpose the closed alpha server for use as an unreleased update build for playtesting of future larger updates like the ones found on the roadmap that have images for them. But then keep the server to a severely limited size like maybe max 1000 players at a time.

They have a test server already, they just didn't end up using it much in Closed Alpha because deploying builds directly to the live server was less work. They plan to start using it more now since stuff breaking will be a bigger deal once the game is open to the general public and everything is persistent with no more wipes going forward.
