As the new feature seems to be still in idea phase maybe there is still some time to reconsider...
Balance is a fine concept - but as it is I believe MD is very much inbalanced towards geriatry already. There were quite a few major developments that were basically closing the door wide open so far: drachs, angiens, top crits levels.... Also, crits aging independent from character aging. They all create situation, where activity is secondary to the characted registration time. I understand one reason is to help MD build its own identity and myths, based on players that are active the longest.
You are right - resources changed the balance a bit, they may change economy more - we shall see. Still, no amount of resources gathered and currently available cauldron goods will buy a single drach old players have abundance of...
I am enthusiast of making crits more unique (like: registering their number of wins, transfer history - see new ideas section).... but I do not like the idea of rewarding just the fact that somebody recruiited them very long time ago.... It's further inbalancing the game towards age vs activity.
Unless the hinted development is a part of a major change rewarding activity too.

you relise nearly ALL the drachs that were recruited, were killed off becuase mur didnt want them to be that easily available. As an old player, Not one who has a lot of coin, I disagree totally, Because some of the newer guys have much better, older and rarer creatures than me. As an example, My first drach was won in a quest, This was after MANY people younger than me had drachs, darks, windy's. Because i am not a trader, i dont move around my creatures for maximum profit and dont have the cash to buy stuff.
Eon isnt old, but he has all these cool creatures. Nearly every festival and christmas TONS of creatures are given out, many to people who then dont survive the next year in MD. I dont see your point at all.
As for your point "register date is more important than activity" i only see creature age as that being effective, Since you clearly dont know about what we had avalile back then, And if mur said he might make it more important? so what? I read this as an idea, a thought of his. You relise that 4 years ago Mur said that he "though" Chapter three would be released?
Perspective and actually finding out some infomation before making sweeping foolish judgements are needed Xrieg, You are a nice guy, But damn you complain.
