Premium Accounts Suggestion

I sent this in as a ticket to support for a suggestion for the future. I also told them that I would be posting this here for all to have their say.
I have a suggestion to make money for papaya and allow players to be recognized in the game as supporters of the game.
What I suggest is a purchase which shows the player is a Premium Supporter of the game. What this means is, a player can purchase a premium account pass from papaya for a one time purchase of $200 and can only be purchased from the website cash shop (much like purchasing UWC is now).
In the game, there would be some items added that would only be accessible by a player who has purchased the premium account. These items would be as followed:
1.) New York City - A new city on the America map that is below Boston. The new city would have a company house where players could create American Companies.
This building would give the companies located in it the ability to have 100 members instead of the typical 50. Also only premium players could apply to the company from the NYC company house (not from other players like other companies are allowed).
It would also have a shipyard which a player could purchase any ship that can be build by a shipwright in the game and these ships would require a lesser set of levels to operate.
There would also be a painter which would have new sail paints and new crests which could not be purchased anywhere else nor traded. Also there would be other NPC which offer more things for trade not given anywhere else in the game including a market keeper with trade goods found only in America, a item shop keeper which sells American type clothing and weapons and many other NPC.
2.) People who purchase the premium account would also be granted a title in the game called, "American Peacekeeper" and that title would grant the players a 15% increase on all skills and also on the speed of their ships.
3.) The premium plan would also allow players to have a 6th aide and allow a 2nd aide to use a ship as well (thus giving the player the ability to run 3 ships at a time under 1 account).
4.) Premium plan holders would also get 500 UWC per month (provided they log in more than 15 days a month) for the first year of their purchase and they could extent that time by 1 year (every year) for a premium update ticket bought in the UWC shop for $100.
5.) Companies which are created in NYC would use an American Flag on their ships and they would also be able to use red white & blue flag colored sails which would distinguish themselves from non premium players.
6.) Premium account holders would also get 3 more skill slots, 5 More Vault slots, 2 more ship slots and a larger living quarters which would be much easier and less time consuming to complete from a NPC located in NYC.
7.) Premium account holders would also receive a new farm (private island type thing) which they could purchase 5 slots of each of the areas that are found on a private island and have 100/100/100/100.
8.) Premium players would also have access to a hidden forum area where they could discuss things with each other, with the GM from the game, and also the developers and admin of the game. This would allow the company and it's employees the ability to talk with players and get feedback.
9.) Premium players would also be given access to a new NPC located in every city in the game where players could put items up for sale (not trade goods though) and those items could be purchased in any city no matter where the item was uploaded to. The items that are sold in this new market could have the money sent directly to the player's bank minus a 10% sales fee which would be given to the game.
10.) Premium players would also be allowed to deposit 1,000,000,000,000 Ducats in the bank instead of the 1,000,000,000 currently in the game and carry 200,000,000,000 in cheques instead of the 20,000,000,000 that is currently in the game.
11.) Premium players would also be allowed buy or sell from their player/alt shops located in a city. So if a player would like to purchase items, they could set up a shop in Seville or any other city where they could buy items instead of selling them... The sale shops have a blue bubble for the shop name and the buy shops would have a red bubble for the shop name which would show people that they are buying not selling.
12.) Premium account holders would be the only ones to be given a bonus when they purchase UWC. So if a non premium player purchases $100 worth of UWC, they would get only 9,000 UWC. But if a premium player purchases $100 worth of UWC, they would be given the bonus UWC (in the $100 it would be +1,350 bonus UWC)
These are just a few of the ideas that could be associated with the premium plan which would give players who support the game financially, a better incentive to keep supporting the game. I am also going to post this ticket to the suggestion forums area. I am pretty sure that some players will hate this idea and you can verify that they are the ones who do not support the game financially. You should have something set up for those of us who do support the game with our real money that free players should not have access to.
