Some good ideas. Could there be problems with players using mule
characters to bring the average skill down? Or how about players who
log on once, create a character to check it out and don't play again?
Would there be large changes in skill just after you run utilities to
clean up dead player files? Would older players skills go up every
time there is an artificial influx of newbies, such as after an advert?
