[MENTION=6481]IImaplers[/MENTION]; MapleStory's calling card is the fact that it is the free-to-play MMO. It is the most updated, most content-filled, "experienced" of the free-to-play MMOs. It is arguably the most stable free-to-play MMO as well. Going to pay-to-play pits it immediately against World of Warcraft, which it really wouldn't be able to do sustainably.

Fair enough. The ideas of Yennox and Valhalla556 seem like a great consolation to the flaws in outright P2P. I love the dynamics of having to register a valid credit card number where the first account is free and the next costs a tiny amount. That would go miles in terms of security and would not necessarily discourage new players from joining. It would be obvious that people would be able to use credit card numbers they don't own, but not many would take the risk.
