Definitely agree with advertising on MMAnews.com. Thats where I heard of it. I'm hardly on there anymore.
I don't think its dying though. Many people will try playing and lose interest. Its not for everyone.
I am worried though that when a new wave of players come through, they will lose interest quickly due to being outclassed by the veterans
I have posted an idea about beginner leagues and wash up leagues. I hope that something along those lines a in the workings for the sake of a new generation being able to go after lower belts without having to try to pry them from the hands of a guy with 50-100 fights.
I hear ya on the worry on the new guys getting blasted by vets; But remember, there will be plenty of new guys to take on. Vets will be obvious and new guys will learn how to avoid them by camp name.
I believe that as veterans its also in the games best interest if we dont take fights with obvious noobs if we have other options. If nothing else, after we cream them with our GnP over their FS... we tell them why they lost.
If nothing else, most vets will have their guys at high levels. New guys will be down below.
