New players are incentivized to hoard resources as an elf before changing to a dwarf to circumvent low levels.

known issue, current resolution is to batter and insult elves minute-by-minute

possible resolution: require a payment to change from elf to dwarf. possible exploit: just farm more.

Perhaps making it so that changing to the elf race a semi-permanent change. (IE: Once you change to an elf an admin/mod must change you back to dwarf.) This, of course, leads to issues with automation, but becoming an elf shouldn't be a quick solution for new users, but have lasting consequences.

Otherwise, perhaps making it so that you can only change once per x time period to prevent new users from switching to elf, farming like mad, and then switching to dwarf after a day, instead they would be stuck as an elf for a week or whatever the timeout was. The issue, of course, with this, is that they then have a weeks worth of resources to mass level with.
