IImaplers Wrote: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.

"Mom, I need your Credit Card number"
"What for?"
"I'm registering for this Maplestory game - "
"No"
"But Mom, it doesn't cost anything!"
"Then what do they want a CC number for?"
"idk"
"No"
"But Moooom, it's an awesome game, all my friends are playing"
"Sorry, no. There are plenty of free games that don't ask for that kind of info. Play those."
