Imho if people would have to pay few $ to create account they would be little more dedicated to continue play even after some issues in-game at start.

If all accounts were wiped, and then Character creation cost £3 per character, but free to inherrit / after a perma kill you gain 1 free new character to inherrit.

Then accounts were refunded cash shop money through the accounts, nothing would be lost, you can even use £3 you spent previously to purchase a character, and total spamming of newb alts would be very costly.

I would agree with this, IF and when defenses <=> humors are balanced.
Retribution ~ Death comes to those who wait.

Not character, but account, you can "buy" account for ~5$ and you can spam characters as many as you want to... but idea to buy alt is nice too, If I would be able to inherit character name :)
