&gt;Urm.  Thats just oen of a host of problems.  I coudl do a long psot
&gt;on this but i don't have the tiem currently.
&gt;Suffice it to say if there is ANY way to be significantly more
&gt;powerful then soem other groui pof players, a group of players wil
&gt;lfind it, exploit it and try to domiante the game.

&gt;If there is NO such thoing as pwoer levels, they will try verbal
&gt;abuse, intimidation and hacking.

This would seem possible to handle in a commercial setting by changing
the token that is bought:

  $15 purchases an application to join the game.  Note: The company 
    has no obligation to approve applications (may partially return 
    $$$ for refused applications, and may limit applications from 
    players to # per month).

  $10 purchases your right to play the game for X hours _IF_ your 
    application is approved.

  An approved application is valid for YY hours of play.  Most 
    applications will be automatically re-submitted and approved 
    by default by the company.  Should a player prove troublesome
    the application will be denied on its next submission.
