Sounds like a shortcut to boredom, which is one of the reasons I think
institutionalized twinking needs to be combined with controls, like
level limits on equipment or geography. A significant portion of the
player populace thrives on the continual discovery of new sights, new
feats, and new abilities - show them the dragon on day one and you've
effectively said, "no matter how well you do, this is the coolest thing
you'll ever see." To an Explorer, that's death.
I think it's better to show them things slightly over their heads and
just hint at the dragon's existence. The anticipation is what makes
the experience exciting - delayed gratification and whatnot.

Being killed by rats is humiliating. :)

I'd be interested in the numbers of people who don't extend their
subscriptions beyond the trial period.
I'd offer that there is a third barrier point: the point where
the "romance period," the time during which a player's interest is
sustained simply by the newness of the environment, ends. At that
point the player has a good feel for the features and problems of the
overall game and is no longer impressed by glitz and glitter as only a
newbie can be. I'd further offer that the romance period generally
lasts only a matter of weeks - usually enough time to make a decision
about subscription renewal.

Friends are a resource too. Because not everyone is adept at making
them, a social structure that encourages players to help their juniors
is a necessary ingredient.
Asheron's Call seems to have done well at simultaneously encouraging
twinking with socio-political structures and limiting its effectiveness
with skill limits on equipment. I believe the skill limits are
critical to the success of this system, because they eliminate the
resentment of "have-nots" in mostly-uncontrolled systems like
EverQuest. In AC there will always be a player who's gotten better
twinking than you, but it won't be so much better that his abilities
are radically different than yours.
In addition to social structures and level/skill limits though, there
is a lot that could be done to aid not only the newbie in finding a
mentor, but the mentor in finding a newbie. Things like guild halls,
message boards, even character flags ("Newbiticus, level 2 enchanter,
seeking an apprenticeship") would facilitate what can be a frustrating
and variably-rewarding exercise.

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. Balance the environment from day one
with twinking in mind. Slide the difficulty curve up a notch with the
assumption that the average newbie will immediately receive a +1
OrcSquisher from a more experienced player. Then just make sure that
experienced players will want to give out +1 OrcSquishers. :)
