I'm still not absolutely clear as to why you even split points into free and regular. Why can't it just be regular points all together like it used to be?

The reason I did it was that I wanted to be able to give players points, but not allow them to transfer them. Everyone had thousands of points, and they were devaluing. Now, if you need upgrades to your account, you can earn some free points, but you can't infect the economy with them.

It's not perfect, but at least I don't have to be afraid about giving out points as rewards, whilst simultaneously ensuring that the normal paid points carry the same gravity.

I can understand the seperation for people without preferred player status, however I think it could be beneficial for preferred player subscribers to be able to use those free points for map creation. I think new and diverse maps are something thats missing around here. And maybe if preferred players could use their free points to create maps it might allow more options and maybe the maps could be more diverse than the usual "farming map" for the people who are interested in that type of thing.
