I have been reading on the forums about "get rid of unverifieds" or 7-day trial. Without the access of the free accounts, i would not be here today (....3 months, between my alts, i think).
but what i would suggest is a limited use of the free accounts. We see too many arguments about whether or not to allow free accounts. What i would suggest is make push/whatever not available to people under x amount of time (or only on x islands). They would not be able to create, except for on x islands. Basically, restrict the use of items that can potentially harm a grid or a sim. Make an area that this can only be done, or another practice grid (sorry, use of building tools are not available until you are a Resident of 30 days, but to experience it now, please go to x.y.z)
