Those people who are interested in that will be turned off by mushu and go to wushu rooms.
I'm really happy to see there's a new community of players out there interested in a new mod. Mushu is cool. It'll never be competitive because of it's very nature, but it's fun, people like it and enjoy it, and Team Wushu honestly shouldn't give a hoot about it.
If a mod is inherently outdated and people are enjoying theirs more than ours, that doesn't mean shove our mod down the staff's throat to make it the only thing that exists. It means make our mod more appealing, or just enjoy it without the fresh blood. And as Erth said, there will always be a wushu room. We shouldn't attempt control what people enjoy just because we don't enjoy it.
Hell I'd be open to there being a team mushu with a tier system too lol.
let me tell you a story: last time people didn't gave a hoot about aikido - we got abd.
there was a public server aikido7 at some point which was pretty much as chill as wushu8, there were fairplay agreements jsut as well and everyone was enjoing it untill some point.
"hey, it's just another mod and another community, it would not hurt us, right?"
abd was introduced for some league to get rid of lifters. nobody was thinking that by making dq less probable metagame will change so yeah, we all know the result. at the moment there is one org that still follows the "traditions" of old aikido7 room, you can gues which one and it's considered "elitist" or even "self-righteous" since it holds atleast some kind of standards.
do we want the very same thing to happen to wushu?
i don't
and the line about fresh blood.
if you have no fresh blood - your mod is pretty much dead. or your clan
you should probably try to look on things from different perspective.
creating/managing a clan from blank is the experience you lack to see things from this point of view. you would understand it in instant otherwise.
