This whole "get more stuff the longer you play" thingy doesn't make any sense to me at all, not even in MMORPGs. Of course, the reason why that's implemented in those games is that they usually employ a pay-per-month system, so the longer they keep you playing the more money they make (just why are people dumb enough to fall for that?) But in a buy-once-then-play-freely FPS, and now even in an open-source game...
