The problem is sound quality. The sound quality on CD's is a lot better than the sound quality on records. CD's sound more clear, the sound seems to have more depth, and the tones are all richer. What they should do is go back to 8-tracks. On 8 tracks, if you rip it that means you have to splice it back together.
1. A lot of people will think this is cool and invest a little of their income in playing it. 2. Some people will realize that if they invest a lot of money in it, they can become virtually unbeatable. 3. In order to continue investing vast amount of money, they become the equivalent of card sharks, using there vast resources and thus better players in order to make money anyway they can. 4. The user experience for those without vast amounts of money declines and most eventually leave. 5. The fact there are no longer as many lower level players means the market and money making opportunities for the higher level players virtually disapear(not to mention the fact more high level players means more competition in making money) 6. Without these money making opportunities and with such a shitty environment for newbies(as a result of so many high level players trying to make money) Most players, both high and low level ones begin to leave. Low level players leave because the game is no longer fun, higher level players leave because the they can no longer make enough money in the game to justify there expeneditures. 7. With the decline of the game, the creators of it and server maintainers can no longer justify the expenditures that keep the game online. 8. The game dies and teh article about its death gets posted on slashdot(twice). Many have fond memories, many have comments about what the game would have been like in soviet russia, and many more just rant on an on about how "if they had only done this...then the game would have still be around."
