BEST IDEA EVER.... The initial fee would be very easy to incorporate and justify as a feature of the game to set it apart. And authenticators are very affordable so if you lose it.. simple enough.. buy another one. The loyalty to the game I think far outweighs the little post here and there you read on the forums saying: I AM QUITTING WOW FOREVER.. (Please note these posts seem to peak on tuesday maintenance as downtime never happens on tuesdays till just recently (/sarcasm off)). I hear many more horror stories in game of stolen accounts (albeit preventable) and this would squelch a stream of gold creation for gold sellers. I think the solution to trial accounts is to put a flag on everyone's account that says : Ignore Trial accounts. This would effectively require you to turn it off to interact with these accounts. Or just bar them from any chat and they can only observe /play the game.. maybe only allow party chat.

Just my opinion ..but love the article.. /bump
