	New members can currently sign up for as many games as they like. This proposal would limit them to an '''initial genre''' (or, alternatively, an '''initial game'''), so that they would only have to deal with one thing at once. Combined with [[Beginner's Path]], this will give them a clear sense of direction and belonging. A corollary is to limit the number of "academies" that one can be in at any given time to one.

* This lessens confusion on the part of the new member greatly, as they only have one set of instructions to deal with, instead of possibly ten.

== Disadvantages ==
* This will decreaase the number of new members signing up for each individual game by quite a lot, but this might be made up for by increased activity from everyone who does sign up.
