I guess the argument that some games remain good by staying constant - A
core of Characters who are 'veteran' in the game keep continuity and
sometimes give a GM something to build around...

In the good old-fashion UK RPG and IF PBM games a cult of envy sometimes
develops where newer players look at more stablished people and wish that
they were doing the same exciting, powerful, progressive things themselves.
This acts as a spur for them to aspire to higher things.. and I'm wandering
off into a massive lake of my own drivel.. hmmmm

Lets just say, if the games good enough to play then does it mater whether
you play *new* or *old* characters?
