Why do people hate on each game so much? If you don't like it you don't have to play it. I played GLB1 back in the day, had a really long gap off before finding GLB2. I enjoy this one much much more personally, so I don't do the other one.
Edit: By a really long time idk when I signed up but I have referrals from May 15, 2008. This isn't even my original account if I remember correctly.
They're different games. The terms just transferred over without the definitions. Agents on GLB1 made more sense because you actually fought for money. Agent here is just a term for user. Dots came over even though it makes zero sense. Promotion is leveling up on this but people still say promoting. They're just different games with the same names/terms.
One of the most humorous things I read was the thread on the GLB1 forums about a guy asking what should he play, GLB1 or GLB2. The only answers on that thread are people from GLB1 saying GLB2 sucks. Meanwhile you have this thread where people from GLB1 are talking in the GLB2 forum.
