So asking people who is current and have forgotten how long it took them to reach that point is not advisable.
I meant more in the execution. We who played the game will feel the impact of a transition if it's not done organically or at least somewhat linear.
What I meant was:
"Newer players will be confused because they're told the state of the world is as you'd expect 5 years after a massive dragon hatched out of its moon egg and had a temper tantrum, and then are given something else entirely if they decide to skip.
Older players will find it weird to go from a world that grew by building upon itself to a story that tries to ignore what happened a little so it can create a new plot."
