You can't really generate a whole hell of a lot of new players to hook without having a decent player count to start off with. Its the awful catch22 that will plague classic and other low count servers.

Newbies will more likely log onto UN or Zodiac when they see the list for the first time, and not the bottom rung servers. Even if they do, there isnt enough player interactment right now to keep newbies, even with enough hooks, unless you get lucky.
Right now I think the primary objective would be trying to moderate a generally decent playercount to attract enough newbies, then you can work on your hooks to keep them there, with the balance of keeping the old and new, your community can continue to grow and progress, with a nice mixture of older and newer players, that added a part of fun that GTA used to have, the newbies working hard to fit into the older community and eventually succeeding.
