The problems of vip's and non-vips - It could be worse, but it isn't...

We all know that VIP's are now helping keep this game afloat by donating money to help TMyApp's glorius quest for an online game that all can enjoy...

And we know that VIP's get perks:
-Hidden Characters
-VIP Recognition (In Chat)
-VIP Recognition (In Game)
-VIP Recognition (In Forum)
-Early play tests before new version is released
-and many more.

Let me start off that I think VIP's are great. Sure it gets annoying hearing their special sound status when they enter the server but its worth it for what they do to help TMyApp. I myself am a Non-Vip and I plan to convert into a VIP later this year

The only problem with this is the whiny Non-Vips that dont get anything special, just a regular game. This isn't necessarily bad, but it could possibly split the game in half once more VIP's arrive. N-Vips would despise VIPS and VIPS would think N-Vips are stupid. N-Vips would be made fun of because "They don't have a P2P account." or something of that matter. Look at Graal for instance, once a game free to everyone, the game was sucessful on every possible scale. But once the people started making it pay only it totally ruined the game, tearing the game population into two factions, the N-Vips and the Vips. There would be two different groups of individuals against one another, even though the game is still free regardless, the perks make the concept just as alive...
