I was also wondering, how hard would it be to design leadership boards for different numbers of hours played? Is that possible at all?

For example, have a 24* hours boards (that way people just starting have a chance to be on the boards) a 48 hours boards, then maybe a 5 day, a week, 2 week boards as well as having the overall board board that we do have now.

I don't know if that can be done or will even solve these people's problems, but it might help a little.

* Anyone that is has played for lwaa than 24 hours is eligible for the board, when they have reached 24 hours + of play, they are then eligible for the 48 hours of play board.
