I'm not speaking on behalf of everyone, but I think a sizable part of the population is afraid of what may happen if this object or that item is present in the cash shop on Day 1: be it stellar/lunar/solar farms, treehouses, majestic trees, mining drills, what have you. We've already seen a lot of threads pop up about it, asking for specifics. Many people sit also uneasy about the prospect of facing other players who have accumulated tens of thousands of credits from their days on the RU client; we've seen what it did to Morpheus/Rangora when Trion did that.
As such, allow me to propose a radical, yet simple idea: remove the cash shop for a week. No nitpicking, no "keep this but ban that". Just plain old no cash shop for a week. Let us enjoy one Fresh Start with the game as it should have been. Don't worry, a week later, people will be more than ready to put money on the cash shop but in the meantime, we'll have enjoyed one small week of how the game was promised to be way back then, before 1.2 patch hit.
It's simple. It's efficient. It's the best way to give everyone the same odds at start.
P.S: I'd also ask if it is possible to bring back the limit of two unbuilt properties per account. Trion introduced that and I'm afraid it'll be a necessity here, unless you want players spamming 20 unbuilt cottages and securing vast swathes of land.
