It is not so much the case of a player developing fast. It's the case of some being left behind and developing slower because of the interactions. For an example we currently have people with bronze weapons and leather armor while some of us are yet to figure out how to shape wood into a suitable protection of some sort.

The rhythm have worked out somewhat well so far, even if I myself feel extremely rushed to get interactions done already. My own opinion is that the system would most probably make that problem even worse.

I don't really see how it would make things [i]worse[/i]. Players won't post more or less than before, so their pace of advancement (each race has a different evolution; military technology isn't the only path forwards) shouldn't change much from what it is right now. That's what I would think, but I might be wrong.

Besides, when we reach the "modern" age (that is when all races are in contact with most others and have relatively advanced i.e. Renaissance Europe technology) we'll need a precise time system, so why not implement it right from the onset?
