Yea, starting the whole Graal# accounts thing has prevented me from ever making a new account, so I'm sure it has prevented new players from starting an account at all. If there is some logic behind this, someone please share.

I also believe that players should be allowed to work on UC servers without upgrading to Gold. I know several talented developers who won't work on servers anymore because their subscription ran out.

There should be some sort of system that allows a server to be locked to developers only which permits players without Gold to develop on that server. This would work like the serveroptions 'onlystaff' except it would be turned on/off by the PWA, not the owner.

Once the server is no longer locked to developers only [through request to PWA], if you don't have Gold you can't log on anymore.

This would greatly increase the amount of development occuring on UC servers and we might actually see something nice come out of it. There could also be a limit on the number of RCs allowed so that you don't get someone keeping their server locked to developers only so that people without Gold memberships can play.
