Really bad idea.

Hang on. A whitelist might not be that bad an idea.
You have to apply on the forum to get your ip/mac whitelisted and the admins can grant it or not.
Pro:
Only the people wanted are on the server.
Con:
A huge amount of work for admins.

besides whitelist will be better for newbs as well- today i made a new char, loaded it up with stuff i plan on selling, then BOOM got destroyed by a hacker.
