1. I played literally 30 minutes of a basically unplayable first... fifth of the Venture Explorer. I literally could not get past those Double Jump stairs, no matter what I tried. =P(And then HGSS came out and by the time I tried it next, it complained about my computer being too fail. =P) And I think what we're trying to say is that we don't literally have full access to two worlds; just one, because you can't return to the Venture Explorer after you finish the tutorial. You have full access while you're there, but once you complete the missions and leave, it's gone, from my understanding.(Since the Return level was an upgraded different world of sorts) And I haven't been asking for access to all of them; just Nimbus Station. They could very easily put in a second lock to prevent Free Players from heading to any of the other worlds.
(In other words; I am thinking about this from a new person's perspective; since I played almost nothing of the Beta. But that doesn't change the fact that you only have one world to fully explore permanently.)
2. It's targeted to everyone, though of course those are targeted; they're the target audience for the rest of the sets, which LU has basically been an advert for in some cases. However, basing the Free Play around one exclusive age is not a good idea; because it's not just the kids that are using Free Play now; I'm no kid anymore; but I'm playing it, because it's a waste of time and money to get the full thing if I can't even play it. =P However, is that really a valid reason for not allowing custom names? Chat I understand; even if it's already something that could be set off for certain people in the main game(And the chat is still very restrictive, last I heard)... But why not names? The team mods them anyway; so it's not like people would have bad stuff in their names...
As I said last time; I can defend some of the things... Chat, they're being over-protective as usual; factions, they can add on, and might want to keep member-only for some silly reason, even though you get one of the most recent packs to try out... But what logical reason is there for keeping custom names out? If you're playing this game, you already have a LEGO Account name; and if it's to prevent the little kids from using their real names; I'd say a lot put their names into their accounts regardless, though there are obvious exceptions(Tahu9999932842985348 and the sort). So there's not really any purpose for the names to be member-only... =/
