ketchuplover: I think you'd lose 95% of players immediately, and another 99% of potential new players - if I come to a website the first time, and they want money to start with, I just close the page. I don't pay money for things on the web, as there is always somewhere you can get it for free. I think most others would do so.

And having so few players suddenly results in the same people playing everwhere, which is boring, so more people leave. RIP.

Just my take of it.

ketchuplover: bad Idea, much of the income comes from the advertizement reaching a large number of players, like pawns, so there would actually be an income drop even if there were to be a %25 increase inpaid membership

ketchuplover: Which infrastructure should we use to that? I still don't use online payment :)

gogul: And I'm portuguese, so... I simply don't use "payment" at all!
