There are 2 big points for me here:
Firstly - while waiting to join NI, the join-up page suggested joining up anyway and moving across when NI became available. As with RT there was no mention of any fee to be paid by ppl joining up specifically for NI early, but starting somewhere else... there should AT LEAST be the availability of one-off transfer for all avatars (or newish ones). It is simply wrong to be stuck on where you choose to start and to have to pay to even visit somewhere else to try it out as well!
Secondly - the single avatar issue! It is becoming more and more incredible for me that people are only officially allowed one avatar on a platform sub-divided into various business areas. I find it staggering that new planet entrants are willing to accept that the very closest player base to them must pay to visit them, while ppl with no prior contact with MA can create an avatar on their planet for free.
It's like saying that on a shopping high street people who go into one shop for free must then pay to go into any others, regardless of whether they want to buy anything or just look around. That's CRAZY!
So, either free-up the travel MUCH more than now (maybe with forced-return weekly offers, and free travel for avatars with under a certain agility..etc - do some thinking), OR allow more than one avatar officially (maybe with restrictions, but do SOMETHING)! It is also absolutely wrong that honest players are tempted to ask non-players to sign up and then hand over shared access (or do something else) in order to get around this 'universal transport' problem!
Ty for allowing me to express my opinion on this matter - and it seems that general discussion is the best area for this.
To all commentators on this thread: please do not write anything here which breaks the rules of this forum. I trust that this thread can then continue - and will gather support for a change to the system to be made soon...
