This has certainly been discussed internally quite a bit. There are several things we have discussed, and in the future we will probably do something. One of the things we might look at doing is allow people to play, but they can only skill up to say Tier 3, and if they were to play on a server there would be limited slots available to them. Something like - Start a server, open it up to paying customers, then 2 hours before the game starts open it to free slots. Something like that.

A free player would not be able to win the game.
