One price for all player teirs seem pretty reasonable in my oppinion. The freemium business model is really only viable if you can hook the few so called 'high payer' users and everyone else gets a rubbish experience.

There's been some pretty heavy vitriol from seever hosts about this, but honestly, when you play in someone elses playground, its their way or the highway. Thats what you get.
