What do you mean by hardly make it to adulthood? Do you mean that most of the infants born never wake up? That's because of the retarded queue system. Making people wait 3 or more months before they even get to play the first time is just stupid. "Hi, welcome to our game! We're really glad you decided to play, and we know you'll just love it. We're so glad you're here! Now, in 3 or 4 months we'll get in touch with you by e-mail so you can start playing your very first character!"
A more agile queue would make things better, that for sure. However, you can't handle that without making multiple births the rule. That is, if you want to keep the family concept.
