The NA1 lb died due to school mainly(3-4 regs more or less dropped because of it), as that chopped the #s by a 3rd, tho some weeks we still had pretty good attendance. The last week we had about 50, but the key server went down so people couldn't join, the 63e decided to leave, losing about 10 people, and 2 other regs that had a bunch of people there before the event left right when it was about to start, each having 5-10. If they all stayed, it wouldn't have been that bad # wise.
but overall the #s were lower the weeks prior, and the pubs were making up more and more of the % of the pop.(30-40 pubs more often than not.) So there were a few times they made up almost an entire team by the end of the lb. Now, it sounds good, and mostly was, but that is a lot of pubs who don't know anything in regards to making a line. and with fewer lines taking up pop and less lines to set an example. they were harder to wrangle.
as for the lb itself, i made a post in the thread on how to bring it back. pub wise the #s were about where i would like, and those are harder to inform about the event taking place.(where as a reg can easily find out about it and other stuff) in the end, it was the reg side of the event where it fell apart. Not enough regs or not enough people with said regs made it in the end.
as for advertising, i have always said it is on you, the community; to advertise for it and get other regs to join in. i didn't make the event for me, nor was i going to go around begging people to come. The event was made so pubs could play on a good server, regs could use it to recruit pubs, to help keep na1 populated, and finally just have an enjoyable experience on the game.(and it provided plenty of laughs) if half the people here on the forums whining about the monopolies other servers have on recruiting supported the event, it would still being going.
and i put the next lb date/time in the title of the lb thread.(people still couldn't figure out when it was)
