Multiple shards.. Would you ?

Imagine that FD had the time/ability/resources to setup "more shards", or in some way attach these to groups, where you the players could vote on (or setup) changes to the game mechanics and systems, ie..

"Speeding ", "Full Newtonian", "Open Only", "Iron Man", "High Insurance". (mutations)

If you could change to a server where the rules set could be changed or was voted upon would you?
 
Biggest issue, same one we have now, is anyone can just change shards to their whim. They would need to be character locked. If they do ever implement it and it is character locked I think they should offer character transfers so people can join the shard they prefer (at least the first time, then maybe sell transfers on the store or something)

And I doubt ones that drastically change the core game physics will ever happen. Too much extra coding.

Interesting idea. Since only a small group of people would want to do this it would be very low in the priority list for FDev. There are technical issues with this as the servers have to be separated from the mainstream servers and therefore the cost would increase. Adding to that the cost of keeping the servers fed and watered would be high.
