Bring in New Players and Make Sure Old Ones Stay!

   I propose a number of changes to Illyriad that I think may be absolutely influential to how this game grows in the coming years.1. For every builidng in somebodies first town up until level 10, the build time and requireed resources are drastically reduce compared to now.
1a. This would make it alot easier for new players to get into the game, and it would mean more long-term players overall.
1b.Only a players first town, so players settling there first or their tenth cities can't get all of their structures up to a high level extremely quickly.
2. Change the ToS to allow players to have 3 accounts.
2a. I know what you're thinking, this might be seen as a way for blah blah etcetera etcetera..... Long story short this will give some of the older players something to do. You can't deny that it can get kind of boring with 20 cities and nothing to do, so building another account from the ground up will probably get some long term players that "got bored" to stay playing Illyriad instead of outright quitting.
2b. While this could be seen as exploitatious I think it will be better for the game in the long run, and will help to grow it as a whole.
3. Make a new server.
3a. Allow anybody to start a new 2 (or 3) accounts into a completely new Illy world, where everything is exactly the same as this world, but they can have a new, fresh start.
3b. This could not only be a good way to promote the game, (i.e. advertise a new server in this alreay great game so that new and old players can all start on an equal playing field) but it could be another break to the monotony.
Well, that's all I have so far, but this is a work in progress and I will be adding to this list as time goes on and I will be posting this entire list as a post to the forums.
Have a great day!
