But luckily devs can't charge any fee for the game even if they wanted to so stop trying.

And about these ten bucks for account - typical Yankee, all issues wants to solve with cash.

As I said in the OP this would NOT be a fee, but a deposit. NO money actually changes ownership unless someone gets banned and that would be a pre-agreed donation.
As far as 'solving everything with money' I don't like it either but when it's impossible to verify weather the same jerk that was just banned is the one applying for a new account then how, other than requiring some sort of collateral for their good behavior, do you make the griefers, trolls, etc either cut the crap or gtfo?

- Allowing char to make many tents or introduce parking lots would eliminate about 90percent of alts.
- Allowing faction to have many bases would eliminate lots of alts with many other problems included.
everithing suggested zillion times and neglected.

I like all of these ideas but as you noted there not happening.

JUST ONE character?

I wouldn't mind every account having 3-5 slots or something, the point is that if you get banned with 1 it applies to the whole account.

28 PLN for playing on 2238? Jeez...
--- Quote from: Lonelylurker on July 18, 2011, 01:22:20 AM ---This could be sent by paypal and would be refundable, with the resultant closure of the account, at any time while the account remains in good standing.

Not everyone has a paypal account.
This game cannot be paid in ANY way due of Fallout license, you can just donate, if you want do it instead of making topic to force people to pay for game ::)

to be honest, more than half of players wouldnt be playing anymore...

This is a beta test, and no beta test has paid stuff (unless it's dumb DICE with it's asshole Battlefunds shit, or MineCraft, but MineCraft atleast is more than 80% working). Open beta means it is open to everyone. If we implent your idea, this would be more like a paid beta test, people would be leaving, developers have almost no testers to test the game, the players get bored because nobody plays, they leave, FOnline dies. What's there not to understand?

If it isn't a license violation to donate towards server upkeep now then how would it be one to commit to a donation at a future time if you get banned?. Also eliciting deposit forfeitures isn't the point, reigning in the griefers is. Ideally no such forfeitures would ever occur because people would stop offending.

Are you assuming that more than half of the players would be unable to make the deposit? Or that more than half Are griefers?

People are being driven away from the game all the time by the actions which this is all about preventing. If gratuitous troublemakers could be held responsible for their misbehavior then they themselves might leave but the player base overall should expand.
