Proposed Revision to the Character Release Cadence

Here's how the math works out, just fyi. To get from 3*-7* you need 280 shards.

Current system (1 hard node forever):
170 days (24.2 weeks)
Total 36.2 weeks from release date
Proposed system by OP (assuming 6 weeks):
98 days (14.6 weeks)
Total 26.6 weeks from release date

No comment just math.
