The concept is right, but with the rewards I don't agree. These are way too mild from what a new player needs to catch extra motivation to start a new game, maybe combined with what I'm suggesting.
What we really lack is catch up mechanisms for "New" players on a server that has existed for several years. There could be events such as new account gets 2x xp reward for a couple of days before it expires. Why I think this would be extremely good for a new player instead of a veteran like myself, its not worth at all take advantage of this for me because I have everything ready related to characters I can achieve In this short period of time.
