it really isnt possible to get new players into t1, even if there was a shithole base pub that people could play on (i have heard nobody is even playing there anymore)
even if that server was populated, the games are terrible, a few good players can basically dominate, and since it has always been so poorly administrated nobody really fucking learns anything there
so what you have left is the retarded offspring of an LT community, which is so bad that it actually drives vets away (incoming opsayo insult that im bad now or something), and there is no way that new players would fit in.. shit it took a lot of work for me to get involved in the LT pickups when i started playing it
i have supported the game for a really long time, but the last run i had was pretty painful.. players who would never get picked in games suddenly were picked first, would suck, then spend more time talking shit in chat and drop... quality
