&gt; Question for the folks that are very *against* the selling of items.
&gt; 
&gt; What if the selling of items, abilities, etc. was limited to those things
&gt; that could be accomplished by a low average player? Say in EQ, something
&gt; like 15th level (I don't know EQ very well, so I'm guessing).
&gt; 
&gt; I ask because we are seriously considering charging a one-time fee for what
&gt; we call "the gift of fate". It would be different for different games, but
&gt; the the idea would be that someone could get up to speed enough to
&gt; participate in the community.

Why not start all your players at that ability level if they truly can't
"participate in the community" until then?
