Disagree entirely. What mz said.
Adding more and more levels to the play (and more links on the left for new users to be baffled by) will just make new people get scared and not bother.
I've signed up to other MMORPGs in the past and been overwhelmed by the number of options and the huge manuals that accompany them. You're not looking at this from a newcomer's point of view.
In my opinion, you'd sign up a free planet with a choice of two races with entirely different tech trees. Like the original PA. Then if you bought a credit you'd have access to a few more races - not necessarily BETTER races, but with more options and versatility. You wouldn't have all the links on the left with a free planet either - Population wouldn't exist, neither would Politics or Covert Operations.
Easing people in gently. Etc.
don't know why I bothered writing that paragraph. It'll be ignored
