Single account/Main character incentives


I have been seeing a lot of posts about people being concerned that the F2P model will be a detriment to the many beneficial side effects of sub based gameplay.

What about implementing a basic introductory progression for each character that is maybe 3 levels or so. Make it a mandatory training or something that would be easy to complete, but just annoying enough to make the account recreation process too tedious for annoying players to abuse.

Any additional characters created under an existing account that has already completed the introduction could bypass the introduction therefore encouraging players to make alts rather than entirely new accounts. If additional accounts were needed to be made for legitimate purposes, a player could tie their new account to their existing account and also bypass the intro, but make the original account traceable in a database of some sort where players can sort out the roots of prospect players themselves. This would prevent excess moderation on SOE's part and give the players the power to make decisions on how they handle spies/outfit/squad members.

On top of that, maybe implement some perks for main characters per empire per account to deter abusing alts a bit as well. Maybe an xp debuff for the first few levels or xp/weapon/etc. buffs for mains that are not available to alts.
