OKAY SO LETS LOOK AT THE FACTS...
JAMES
YOU
BASED ON THESE FACTS ALONE...
It is simply counterproductive to create another group. James' group has been around since '09, and is the only large DXMP group to date. All players know about it, and many players use it.
Making another group is arbitrary. If you already knew about the larger group, then the only reason for making your own group would be to 'have your own group.' So really, players aren't getting anything out of it. Players are being pulled away from the main DXMP community, because you wanted 'your own group.'
Of course many of us don't play DXMP anymore. It's an old game, we've all played the shit out of it, and many of us are too busy with life to play the new games coming out,
AND still play DXMP. However, this doesn't mean that no one in our group plays Deus Ex...
Being Active = Subject to whether or not someone feels like playing the game. The figure of active players is not constant; It's a fluctuating variable. One who isn't active for 1 month, might be active the next 2. So on, and so forth. So to claim active members is pointless, and AGAIN counterproductive.
I'm not saying you can't make ANY group...
I'm letting you know that it's pointless to create another group of the same.
There is a known DXMP steam group. There is a known DXMP Skype group (psycho's group).
Other than those two, go crazy.
