It's an idea that sprang to mind based on practices embraced elsewhere. I think it'd be pretty cool if there were optional discussion boards that could be accessed only by those of us with 'premium' access.

It'd be a good way to create a micro-community amongst the forum regulars (many of whom, I expect, would pay the appropriate fee).

The deal could even be sweetened further by offering premium posters access to exclusive animated avatars of their character using a choice emote or some such. I'm not sure how easy that would be to implement but our avatars are already linked to our lodestone profiles.

Of course, I'd expect the fee to be reasonable - and ideally, to go towards site maintenance/upgrades and the game development itself.

What premium features would you guys like to see if such a feature were added?
