Considering the game is out for 8 months now i wouldn't really start dividing between veteran and new players yet, unless you count those 1.o players even though it was more or less a different game.

What I really wanna see again is surveys, but i think the develpoment team has planned very far ahead so it's not easy to let players opinion influence the game in a big way.

maybe give weekly polls to let players decide on minor decisions. But how many ppl that play the game actually give suggestions, visit the forums and so on?
