Would these make sense/be of benefit?

First of all, I continue to enjoy playing this game on a regular basis but had some random thoughts/suggestions to spice things up a bit.
1) Limited access for unregistered players
What if only registered players were able to get into certain areas...a privileged access kind of thing?
For example, you can't get onto the balcony in the Frozen City unless you're a registered player....or the top of the ramp in NecroCity....or up on the towers in Mercenary Camp...or on the roofs of buildings in other camps....
Similar to the way regular players can't get access to the same weapons registered players have, it might perhaps encourage more to sign up.
I don't know if this would even be doable...perhaps a door that blocks the way to the unregistered...or something that has to be shot at with one of the weapons they don't have. Just some way of giving a slight advantage to the registered.
2) I think it would be helpful to be able to see where the players are when you first log in. When you go to first select a camp it would be a great benefit if perhaps there was a number beside each camp so you'd know there are 9 people in The Graveyard or 5 in SMC rather than having go through each camp to find out there's nobody there. I know you can look to find where the registered players are but in the frequent times there's nobody online except for unregistered players it's a bit of a hunt to find people.
3) For awhile there when logging onto the site the default camp to go to seemed to vary. I don't know whether this was something that had to be manually changed but I think it had the effect of prompting players, both registered and unregistered to go into camps they wouldn't normally. Instead of having it default to The Market each time, is there a way it can vary again? There are a lot of great camps here that I think are sitting empty just because people don't try them or have forgotten about them. A lot of work obviously went into those, it would be great to utilize them.
Just some thoughts
