When the game opens will the players have access to all the forums from the beginning?

When the game opens will the players have access to all the forums from the beginning? If so is that really necessary? I only bring this up because all the annoyances are right there for the next group of rebel rousers, derelicts, nonconformists, little scoundrels whatever label you prefer, on how to unbalance the world i.e. Kill all one species of trees; deplete the world of pigs etc. I'm sure they will figure it out soon enough. Player’s interpretation of harassment by other players is addressed numerous times. Would this make them immediate targets? Plus the personal attacks on people, groups etc. I know when I started that I read them and laughed, but my friend read them it turned her off to the game. Would it possible to just keep access for the players that are on now to the old and when it goes live we would start new?

  • I'll second this idea.  Requiring a few hours gameplay before getting posting privileges to the forums may be good.  That way only players who have decided to give a serious try to the game would be contributing.

    On the same note, it may be helpful to have some quests oriented towards good chat use and etiquette early in the game.

  • I second smithco's idea, particularly good chat/etiquette quests. Someone could, theoretically, create a character just to grief/troll. 

    Edited to add: I also didn't see anything in the TOS about sock puppets or alts. I wonder where they stand; this may be a separate thread idea, though.
