Here's my opinion after reading many posts. I feel like it would be unfair to have someone's account locked to a single character for the entirety of their game. So how about the first thing we do is choose a nation - and that can remain locked (until the user wants a total account wipe, say) then within that we could have a number of different characters? That way it gives a single user the flexibility of having different playstyles while also having the potential for other family members to use those character slots instead, for those who couldn't afford to fork out the extra dosh for more accounts? Some of that does really depend on how you plan to support the development and operation of the game financially of course, but to me it seems like a fair compromise. Thoughts anyone?
