Im having trouble understanding the boundaries on town line during the first curse. All fairytale characters were brought to storybrooke Maine. The town was hidden from the everyday person but were the characters allowed to leave the town without a price during that time? Regina yurned for a child and she left storybrooke to adopt Henry. She was able to come back to storybrooke with the child and there was no problem. Does this mean other characters could have left? I know the only reason young owen and his father were able to view the and physically walk in storybrooke was because they were camping on the land as the town arrived in the curse! And once little owen left he was never again able to find storybrooke again proving everyday people couldnt see the town. Adam Horowitz said in a OUAT special before a premiere that  Emma and August could see the town before the curse was broken because they were from the EF. This makes sense!

When the curse was broken the wall was down and everyday people could see the town, AKA Tamara and Gregs(owen) easy enterance into the town. When magic was brought to storybrooke a price was put on the townline, if our characters were to cross the line their memory would revert back to pre curse being broken. What happened to this idea in Season 3B? Even after the town reappeared in maine the townline memory price was never mentioned again. Were people simply allowed to leave? In season 4A rumple talked about crossing the townline with belle and no memory probelem was mentioned? Even when robin and marian had to cross they had their memories? Now because of the snow queen you can cross the line but you cant come back, but your memory is intact? When did the price of losing your memory go away?
