Should be long enough for people to decide if they like the game enough to pay for it.

I just read six pages of "Double Standards", and I'm dying inside. Then I get this. I am going to bed without responding to the rest of the post you made, but I might do tomorrow as I consider this to be an important topic.
To do the short summary, disallowing free accounts will almost certainly lead to a great stagnation in the recruiting of new players to the game. As far as I can tell, there are already more people leaving than joining the game, and I think that the benefit of this change is far from equal to the cost. This isn't where the problem is. The problem is the rule itself, not the "big alliances", not the support planets, but the very definition of a support planet. The whole thing just doesn't work at all.
