When Bill's sturgeon server appeared on the metaserver, bronco basically died. When it was removed from the metaserver, we started getting t-mode on continuum again. Only newbies (and addison) play sturgeon. Even if Bill's server became ten times more popular than it was when it was on the metaserver, experience has shown that people tire of sturgeon about the same time as they learn how to properly play the game. > Or what if hockey becomes popular again enough to draw players away from > bronco? Will hockey be on the chopping block next? I believe you're comparing apples and oranges here. To become a good hockey player you need to know how to play bronco. You might say that you can't play hockey until you've put down hundreds of hours on bronco servers and once you've done that you probably like bronco and will continue to play for as long as you think that netrek in general (bronco and hockey) is fun. -- Niclas
