I seriously doubt that our Phase 1 characters will ever be unlocked, since there have been too many changes in the characters and items since that phase. Blizzard should just be honest and delete those characters, but I guess they don't want to deal with the hailstorm of complaints they'd get when they did that and instead they probably figure nobody'd mind when they deleted all the characters at the conclusion of the beta. The problem with this, of course, is that our old guild name "Lounging Lurkers" is locked down as well, since none of us can access our old characters to invite people into the guild. I'm still campaigning for calling ourselves "The Mechanical Squirrels" in the next phase. If you haven't seen one, I'd be happy to make one for you. They're cute!
Anyway, I strongly suggest we try the Alliance again next phase. I've come close to exhausting most of the Horde areas with level 35 mobs and below in them. Sure, there are still some places to see (like I've never been to Desolace), but I really didn't get a chance to see much of Alliance lands in the last push. I completed all of the Goldshire quests and most of the Westfall quests (Van Cleef must die!), but I only did about half the Redridge quests and only touched Darkshire and Loch Modan briefly. It'd be fun to go back to the Alliance and hit those areas we didn't see before and also to see what's changed from the last push.
Bolty also asked Leme and I what our guild colors should be for next push. I suggest we go with scarlet and gold. And, what's better is that when we have enough high level players to do it, we can go into the armory instance of the monastery and get tabbards of the Scarlet Brigade. That could be our symbol -- as many people as possible will wear the scarlet brigade tabbards (and our temporary guild tabbard design can be something that comes close to the Scarlet Brigade, so noone feels left out).
