If you took away their ability to save they would probably just stop playing and play one of the other hundreds of free MMOs. Most of them are people that can't or won't pay for the game, no matter what.

i think they might like the fact that they can actually keep playing instead of having scattered bits and pieces of gameplay.

I believe it was mid 2002 up until v5 was released. At most, 2003 and onwards. 2001 it was still not full p2p, although there were those silly ghost waiting times. :P

i would feel good if v2's interface was implemented to it's full extent while keeping the functionality of v5+ minus the internal playerlist/pm windows

I don't know if this would be able to be put into practice, although maybe trials could be able play limitless during the weekends. No observer mode or anything like that, simple enjoy the game on the same terms as a P2P account.

I actually think it could be quite nice, hopefully resulting in a higher playercount. However, pherhaps the P2P accounts should get a benefit as well, so they do not feel excluded. Pherhaps a decrease in the monthly cost of Gelats? (lowering prices, which already has been suggested)

Maybe someone has suggested this before?

However, it just came to my mind that this would probably not have a very big impact on servers like Zodiac..still, it is worth a thought!
