Exactly.

Making up a world takes time. So make up as many at least a little before hand. A list the players want is good because it tells you they'll be happy to play in them. A list of ones you want to run so you'll be happy. When they look for a new one "randomly" pick. I say it with quotes because you won't have all of them ready at once and maybe you just bought Nordland and it looks interesting. OK, they "randomly" get a viking derived world. Just don't abuse it by always making it worlds you want and never the ones they want.
