It might give incentive to people who normally wouldn't upgrade to upgrade to develop on a server.

This would kill any and all motivation to develop on a hosted server.

"Hey, let me pay to develop on a server that I'm not even sure will make Classic status"

The old system was fine. Trials could not be any staff, all stats were wiped upon disconnection, trials could not spar, etc.

The only problem with the old system is that there was no incentive to upgrade to VIP once the gold servers' quality started to decline (aka "got boring" ).

So you guys can sit around and think of a million different ways to make people pay (or not pay) for Graal, but in the end the only thing that will make a difference is higher quality playerworlds.

Correct me if I am wrong because I might of read your post wrong but.. you have to upgrade now... so that DOES kill motivation right? Your talking like you don't have to upgrade to pay. I am just saying if you didn't have to pay to play then people could become more interested in the server then they might pay to develop? I sorta get what your saying.. if you take away the you don't have to pay to play then who would pay to develop?
