I've also openly advocated for the maximum spawn age to be adjusted to 16, rather than 11 (With the exception of those who take on emporium roles). Sadly, that adds a touch of micromanagement with age adjustments needing to be done for everyone who in future took a child role from an emporium post.
Good post! To touch on that lightly:
Raising the minimum starting age to 16 wouldn't be bad, but with 7 day years that's just under 4 months before an emporium even becomes playable, longer than most characters last to begin with. That and people enjoy the development of a 'blank canvas' that those teenage years present, and like to maximize the amount of time they get with it, so it can be prime for setting up the foundations of a character.
It was lowered a while back to make emporiums more manageable. It's still just under a two month wait as is.
