From what the rumors say, we are either getting some awesome exclusive joints, or we get a secret item. Both of those are extremely appealing to me. I like secret and exclusive stuff.

However, you guys discriminate against them because they didn't pay for the game, they can't anymore, so why do you do this? Why should people who care about the game be left out just because they started playing later than you?

While I can partially appreciate your point of view - these players do irritate me on a regular basis. But at the heart of it, Toribash - and, indeed, any of Nabi's games – is a business product. By stratifying the system in such a manner, you're not only limiting potential capital and subsequent profit, but you're also - as I stated - pandering to elitism.

Granted, with a means of creating your own servers this problem could theoretically be solved - members with such so-called "intelligence" could create their servers and have their tea parties and tender breakfasts there - but that hope is broken now, as the server-creating application will probably never be released to the public again.

By limiting servers by registration keys as was done in the past... well, I do partially support the idea, but RbLcK's point stands true. The idea of limiting server access by ToriBooster subscriptions is a marginally better concept, but the new credits/items system that Boosters concern has rendered the necessity of limiting server access obsolete anyway, and with the game as a freeware product, mass numbers of members are joining - which, you obviously might tell me, is the root of the problem - but greater numbers of members equals a greater number of members buying ToriBoosters, ergo more profit than was being created in the first place. Nabi has no need to do this, and, hopefully, they are intelligent enough to understand that open servers are earning them more money.

In short, if access to servers was limited to those who paid - by any means, removed or no - less members would join, and then less members would be paying Nabi money to fund future projects or earn them profit. Nabi has discovered a better means of making money, and so have no need to return to their previous methods of doing so.
