My thought remains that strengthening the unaltered 1E community will be necessary to any future incarnations, and should be the focus of everyone regardless of how they want the game to live on in the future.
I agree with this. I am happy with the game we have now, and if I want a new game, I'll probably just go find a new game.
So Phallen, ket, do you have any plans to do so? If yes, how exactly?
If your are both totally fine with the game being dead, it should still be in your interest in getting new players?
Ideas:
-Leaflets,
-Tournaments,
-Promos,
-Advertise in game shop to other strange nerds who are way more likely to go for it,
-(and, in my opinion, how to hold these players, since if I was a new player, I'd probably stick to a game with absolute no change in meta at all, errata, banlists, new cards(rules))...
But what was it what you intended?
