Paying players will have more people to team with, across all the levels, and froobs will have much more to explore and like about the game.
As a matter of fact, I can't really see a downside to this. Perhaps someone from FC can enlighten me about: Why didn't it happen yet?
EDIT: Or, you could also allow access to SL by one-time symbolic payment of €1 or such, just to be sure that the player can buy the other expansions. Though, it would be a nuisance.
