I was totally excited about this game and sent out a bunch of links to people on skype and then seen this. People are going to think your just trying to milk them for $$$.

accelerated start, I would seriously think more about this approach.

maybe wait like 6 months into the game and then implement this but not form day one. It Should just be a monthly fee and everyone has a equal start on game launch.

Don't panic =)

The idea of waiting a while before implementing this is already on the table for the same concerns your hinting at. A player could "Accelerate" himself 6 months past everyone at the start of the game and it wouldn't be fair.

On the flip side. There's no harm in letting players catch up some to players who have been playing a while. There is a problem with new players getting into a game that has nothing but 2 year veterans in it also. This should help alleviate that. But that's years from now!

We'll mostly likely not offer any accelerated start at the very beginning like you suggested and then open up the smaller ones over some time.

Also, love your signature =)
