This immediately triggers the memories of The Rock, now deceased, which
had the turn limit per day. The rule for the limit wasn't quite fair -
the more you play, the higher is a limit, but the very idea I liked -
because, as you noticed, addicts really do have an advantage.
It's difficult to determine who's addict and who's not - say, would I
have had more time, I'd play more, probably, and it happens that, say,
today I have just 30 minutes to spare, tomorrow it's 8 hours.
What I would suggest is to introduce something like the aging - the more
you play, the more difficult it becomes for you to advance - and it
looks good in-character, I believe. Of course, this is just a raw idea.
And, other idea was to allow some free time and make the players pay for
the rest, and there were more - here we have Sauron, who was close to
the development team and probably will tell much more about the proposed
solutions than I can.
