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.
