Too hard to develop servers?

I agree, you somewhat have to match a quality standard.
In other words:
Why should players of other playerworlds switch over to yours? You have to give a reason

edit: I don't think you should lower standards at all, just 50 levels should insure quality really.

I think quality is attractive... whether that comes in 50 levels or 300 depends solely on the development team and their plans. I don't think people give up because they make unreasonable requests of themselves, but just because they burn out their initial excitement. Like I said, most give up before they even hit the 50 mark. So are you going to say people should make 25 level overworlds to compensate?

There are a lot of things that contribute to the fall of playerworlds, it's not as clear-cut as you imagine.
