Speed Rounds

Should this game have another server where it has reset each (example) month?
Give all players 31 DD's + 250 Hacking/IQ + an amount of EC's and CD's (cut all transfers AND market for no abuse)
This will give the "new" players an feeling of how its like to be a little "grown up" in the big game. A way to test if you like the game or not without playing it the long way, also imo the speed round is a alternative that may draw new players to it self only as well.
"Speed Rounds" Shouldn't have all features as "neocw" got, speed round should be a teaser. tho the energy flow should be higher so you can play more intensive as its a game that gets a reset. Stuff like "Districts" "Intent" "Make Hacking only for CD's not IQ" "Cut the Casino" "Remove Challenge Hacks/Unique Challenge" +?
One option could be a tutorial that tells you to "attack a player" "join/create a gang" "buy some equipments""send a mail" this could give rewards as in EC's..
Does it seems like it's giving everything for free? well it is, its a teaser and a way to get ppl interested in how it is to be in the game without all features but intensive game play. For investment set up a subscription that give a player even a bigger start?!

I'm not sure but I think something like this was tried a few years ago.

Something similar was tried, Xan. It was a month long speed round of CW with the goal being to hack into something which one needed to have x amount of stats to do, and wasn't able to do until the end of the month. So basically the goal was to be #1 at the end, but the key difference was a real cash prize was involved. I believe Umo, despite round the clock CW playing, was shadily overtaken thus losing the top prize at the last moment.. (I had a feeling something like that would go down, which is why I didn't partake... Lyn )

Anyways, I like this idea. I think the top 5 should be given some sort of prize on this CW at the end of each month
