The concept i'm going with is how FTP mmo's do. The game is free to play but you pay for perks. That has been initiated on the base through premium, however I think it can be expanded upon.
1: Add a global chat room for premium members and you can kinda "tease" non members by letting them have an hour each day (hour is counted by account and/or IP address).
2: Contest with prizes specifically for premium(not like expensive stuff but unique perks premium doesn't give you)
3: Online naruto episode streaming for premium members.
Just cool little perks like that. I'm not sure how much you charge but lets say you charge $5.00 USD(i'm assuming this is operated in U.S.A.) and have 150 premium members, that's 750 dollars to upkeep the server, bandwith, and maybe some pay for the mods,GM,admins. I'd be more accurate with the premium members number but I don't have an exact number at this moment for all premium users.
