Of course - I'm not saying that we can't get people to pay for the service we offer (ie the fact that we run the game server). Just that it's different to limit features we offer to non-paying subscribers and making people pay for things like buying in-game money. But, actually, now that I think more about it, you may be right. The difference is not so fundamental - if you can buy features with in-game money, and that you can either earn this money through the gameplay or buy it to get it faster, the difference becomes more grey. We'll just have to be careful about not limiting a too large portion of the game features then - otherwise it will give a big incentive for a portion of the community to create its own server, where you don't have this limitation.
