        >are multiple paths to advancement, ease of switching between paths of
        >advancement, clear milestones in said advancement, and ideally, no sense
        >of running out of significant milestones
        
        It may actually be easier to provide none of the above, which will look
        quite a bit like all of the above. You can advance however you like, switch
        paths at a moment's notice, and see exactly where you're headed at all times
        as well as never reaching the end of the path. Why? Because the player
        himself has set his advancement conditions and milestones. When he hits a
        milestone at the end of a given path, well, he'll just switch to another
        one. He may not even realise he's switched.
        
        Which leads me to the obvious conclusion: Infinity and zero are more easily
        confused than they ought to be. If there is no way to advance provided, you
        have really provided the player with the unanswered question (read "puzzle")
        of how to advance. In general, the harder it is for him to find one, the
        more challenging and satisfying he finds the game.
        
        This only works on the ignorant, however. As soon as you up-front admit that
        your game has no way to advance, most players will quit looking for ways to
        advance and find the game (appropriately enough) pointless. Those who have
        found one will feel cheated, assume you are laughing at them, and think they
        have been deliberately made fools of. In a very real sense, ignorance *was*
        bliss, and the magic *is* gone.
        
        In a more cynical fashion, I might restate this as "People will always be
        impressed by your proven ability to make them do your job, as long as they
        don't *know* they're doing your job."
