See, you and Bort and DD keep saying how much you care about GLB1.
I don't care what you say. I care what you do. And when the next sentence you type is...

...that tells me you're not planning to do anything. Which completely erodes the meaning of your first sentence.
Actions speak louder than words.

I love GLB1 and not much would please me more than huge hordes of people flocking in...but thats not going to happen. The "all you have to do is advertise!", while it seems magical, isn't really going to be as magical as it sounds.
- I couldn't care less about Chemistry, so don't lump me in with those guys.
- At this point, I'd have to agree that shutting down GLB2 no longer makes sense. The damage to GLB1 has already been done, and shutting down GLB2 won't undo it. However, that also doesn't change the fact that opening GLB2 has damaged GLB1, and your continued refusal to acknowledge that is... well... actually kinda impressive that you can stick that stubbornly to a party line, I suppose.
- Advertising isn't going to magically cure anything. I never claimed it would, and I've never really been in the "advertise!" camp anyway, so again, not sure why you're lumping me in with those people.
What frustrates me isn't so much the lack of new users coming in (though that is frustrating and doesn't bode well for GLB1's future). What frustrates me is the lack of concern you and the other WGG staffers continually show for your current GLB1 customers. Bugs getting ignored or glossed over. Suggestions being dismissed out-of-hand. Support dropping the ball, like telling an 8-8 #9 team they aren't good enough to promote up but telling a 7-9 #10 team that they can promote up. Support closing out tickets without resolving the problem.
You guys keep telling us how much you care about GLB1 and GLB1's customers... but it's all meaningless drivel and blather if you don't actually do anything to back up your words.

But then again...GLB1 is far from dead. Of course it doesn't have as many players as it used to have but it has plenty of players. It is a long way from being some kind if barren wasteland. And as long as theres people playing it we will keep the lights on.
I never said it's dead yet. I point that out to people too. Still a lot of players in the game right now, and still a lot of fun to be had.
But I don't think that will be the case in, oooooh, say, 366 days from now. Just look at the number of new Rookie dots and how that number is declining every season.
