From what I'm reading the skillgain seems a bit too hard for a person with as little time as i do to be very commited to, and it seems that this is your issue. Everybody is much older than they were 5-6 years ago and young players have much more colourful and graphically better things to play nowadays. (WOW and the like). If you want a better playerbase and more faces you need to give them a nice juicy worm to tempt them, such as an easier skillgain. Now obviously, and it has been stated previously, the older players worked for these skills. However if we are improving a playerbase by doing this, I sincerely doubt it's going to upset them too much. Instead of boring days looking for something to do. There will actually be players to do things with.
Obviously this is the narrow minded view of a player who wants a headstart, but its the narrow minded view of a potential new regular.
Welcome back Adam. Thought I would just fill you in about the difficulty of skill they are complaining about... Skill gain here is about 65% easier then it was on IN1. I remember you being one of the few GM carps on there and here it only takes a couple days. Plus, as I have said before elsewhere, we already tried this tactic of making skills easier and it did nothing for the playerbase. In any case, try it out before you jump to conclusions because the players here are never satisfied unless everything is handed to them:p Actually they still complain even when that happens...
