I think you're being a bit optimisic.

I'm not trying to flame you, but your response, light of the LPMUd extinction discussion, brings to mind the potential extinction of MUDs in general... which is probably better posted onto the end of another well-tread thread. (But I'll post here anyway.)

To use an analogy, it's like saying, "Even though most people haven't heard of clog dancing () , it only takes 1% to 0.01% of all night/dance-club dancers to jump in and there'd be a huge clog-dancer population"... which implies that the reason there aren't more clog dancers is largely because people haven't heard of it.

Yes, advertising will bring in some people.

But the fact is, clog dancing is no longer in vogue, not since the 18/19th century according to Wikipedia.

You can (a) admit that and live with a dwindling and aging population of clog-dancers (staving off the decline with clog-athons and other occasional advertising), or (b) change clog dancing so it fits with the times more.

(I'll post more about LPMuds and clog dancing when I get my world-toolkit functioning better.)
