GLB2 has 12 teams/league x 20 leagues = 240 teams
x 43 players/team = 10,320 players

GLB has 395 Full Active Teams
(I define Full Active as regular or casual teams with human owners and 50+ human dots who aren't red inactives)
x 55 players/team = 21,725 players

Keep in mind I did not include the d-leagues for either game. I also counted all teams in GLB2 and counted them all as full with full rosters. In GLB 1 there are metric shit-tons of partially filled teams, including many with 40+ but lower than 50 active human players who I didn't count for this. Based on these facts I am positive the player estimate for GLB1 is low, and the player estimate for GLB2 is high.

Since GLB 1 dots cost significantly more than GLB2 dots, we have to honestly ask ourselves why GLB1 is defined by admins as "dead" while GLB2 is defined as "thriving"...

Just btw there are aprox 125 current active full plateau teams, which equates to 25/season. While the next two seasons the current semi and nat minors look to downsize plateau dot supply, regional minors and below is actually promising to match or improve current plateau dot levels, and is clearly capable of sustaining the new 60 teams in natty/WL under the new system.

My recorded Data: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NjrYtQI-J_ktl7KlHuH19MkDAIKM4scM8ZyL_04zjcA/edit?usp=sharing


CONCLUSION
So...um.... GLB admins make no sense with their complete neglect of this game, and if we keep building dots near the current rate there is no reason GLB1 will not exist for a long time...

Once GLB1 is in the new structure (matching GLB2's 12/league) we will have aprox 33 leagues between regular and minors which is more than 50% greater than the 20 leagues of GLB2.

if all you guys would move to GLB2 - we'd probably even get more than the significant updates to the game we get every season.

beside that -- with all the extra time the admins would have not having to deal with silly forum requests and ban hammer dropping.....it might even turn into a full on growing game....

so come on gais. the water feels great and we need more people to beat up on.

Not to pop your bubble but I query two things missing here.
#1, how many are playing BOTH leagues (differentiating from players that ONLY play GLB classic and those that ONLY play GLB duck... er, deuce.)
And; #2, How many NEW AGENTS (players) have signed up to WG that ONLY play the Deuce since it's creation.
To me, the difference between the 'ONLY's' (players/agents that only play in one game [classic vs deuce]) is a better indication of 'Game Growth' that WG keeps harping on with the Deuce. And, add to that how many NEW players (agents) that have arrived since the birth of the Deuce that ONLY play the Deuce. That is the purest form of 'growth' you could show (or that would NOT show). I suspect the numbers to be low and still support the OP's suggestion that GLB Classic is still the mule that moves the bus.

I'd rather watch a bunch of one legged people try to fix a roof.

This is just a count of dots/teams in each game. Not about the users themselves. I don't care how many users play both games and neither does this thread?

On average I'd imagine GLB1 agents have more dots than GLB2 agents due to the hardcore nature, but for the purpose of this I don't care who owns what dots... Also we are all just dpride multi's but I digress...

Doesn't matter how many dots there are if 90% of them won't be relevant for another year.

The game is "dead" because people think the game is dead. People think the game is dead because most players aren't relevant enough to talk about, and won't be for months and months, if ever because maybe they accidentally spent a skill point in the wrong place one time.

GLB2 is more lively because people are having fun at all levels, rather than just the last 10% of a player's life.

That is true.

GLB2 is the equivalent of rattling keys in a babies face.

Well, at least it's better than listening to the baby cry nonstop.
