Wow. Get a grip people. Funny how people are saying how EA pretty much stole their money. You signed up, you agreed to the terms. They didn't steal any money. You freely gave it to them.
It's sad to hear the game is closing. Stop pointing fingers and cursing EA and the DEVs....just remember the good times. I know I have had a great run. I don't know what I would be doing without TSO...I can list a few things but I'll save that for another topic. I could tell some stories/memories about the game, but I'll..oh nevermind.

I am Promise DeCuir on SL and Second LIfe is way more than sex, porn, etc. there are many TSO people there already. It is what you choose it to be. You can pretty much be or do anything. explore, build, create, fun etc..

I gave up trying not to cry an hour ago. I'm not worried about keeping in touch with friends...I know there is MySpace, e-mail and IM. I just wish we could keep our things from in the game...Heck, I never even got my canon or campfire. I'd love to keep my rares..tree, robos, tiger, and pink poodle. And my houses....I love my houses....and my original sim's house has sentimental value for me. I can still remember who the first two property owners were who I roomed with....Neither play anymore...One was the "Mayor of BF" and the other was Lady Panther. Mistress Sade practically gave me my house...She's even a phantom sim on my web to this very day.
Oh, here I go again...someone pass me a box of tissues, please...

I suggest on the last day this site is open all the scammers and botters have a coming out party... what would there be to lose? I would enjoy it a lot. I would especially enjoy all the people that claimed to be against the botters... holier than thou ppl.... and were the biggest botters of them all.

So long TSO and thanks for all the fish! I have nothing but fond memories of my time there. I was hoping maybe it'll turn the corner but I'm not surprised to see it shutting down. I sent a link of their notice to shut down to Woody Hearns of GUComics. Who knows maybe we'll get to see him send TSO to the bug zapper.

Hiya Folks!
I just wanted to drop in and see how things were going. I was sorry to hear the news about TSO / EA-Land and thought about all of you and how you must be taking it.
I always lurked around here and it really is great to still see so many of you so passionate. I've been thru a few games closing down and wanted to tell you that as sad as it is to see something you love go away... it doesn't mean you and your friends can't keep in touch. There are so many more avenues these days then years ago. Ventrilio, AIM, ICQ, Myspace, Facebook to name just a few. It won't be the same in the beginning but eventually you all will find a new world that you can call home and be apart of again.
Good luck to all of you and I will miss lurking and catching up on what is going on with you.
Huggs,
Tigger

We cant say we didnt see this coming.
Ive met some really awesome people, and some not-so-awesome...lol. All in all, it was a fun time in my life & I wish everyone the best
Luckily, the game wasnt a big part of my life, or even a small one anymore, Ive moved on already so this is much easier than it would have been 6 months ago. But I know alot of you are still addicts, and I hope for the best for all of you!
Its been real

Nice to see you drop by, Tigger. Great to hear from you. Hope all is well.
I for one am seriously disappointed. Even though I am far from addicted to the game at this point, this announcement has just made it so real to me how my Internet life has completely faded away.
This is probably a good thing, since I have progressed a lot in my life from the lonely depressed boy who started out on TSO with no one in real life to turn to. But now, I realize that I won't be able to post here anymore. Sure, the forums might stay open for a little while longer, but it won't be the same.
I knew that this was coming, but it still surprised me to pull up the blog and see the message. Wow.

What *I* don't understand is the increased presence of so many pitsers lately.
With the exception of Jackie, there has been a noticeable lack of representation from that circle until the devs zipped up - and all of the postings have been in support of those very same devs, while at the same time very "take no prisoners" of any who didn't agree.
Would the fact that some of the devs are members of the pit explain the protective attitude?
It makes one wonder if y'all had some advance notice of what was to come.
Just curious, ya know?

*waves to Cherrybomb*
If Toontown doesn't suit you we also play Pirates of the Carribean. The one thing I personally will always be really grateful to TSO for is all the people I met through this game and of course for meeting Hile. It never even occured to me when I signed up for the beta all those years ago that it would change my life and have me moving to another country. We'll see in 10 years or so if we're still grateful for that LOL but after 2 1/2 years together it looks good so far.
I still enjoy the sims even though I now play offline sims again and is eagerly waiting for sims 3. I'm sad to see TSO dying but maybe some day a new Sims online will be born that will have a much brighter future.

Wow. TSO was my first online game. Ive been gone a while came back in to check out ealand for a bit. Everyone always knew someday this day would come. All of them the sky is falling the sky is falling threads. It lasted alot longer than most thought it would.
Lots of good memories. Something kept me checking in and checking back even when I wasnt the most active. So many names I see here in this thread are people that date way back that have stayed here. I can only imagine how you are feeling right now. TSO was special to many people.

I'm wondering if you may be only a FREE account...Thats the only explanation i can possibly think of for your lil care free sarcastic attitude.
[/ QUOTE ]
O no... don't misunderstand me sweetness, I've paid for every month since I started playing this game. I never cried about it or griped that I wasn't getting what I was paying for because of a few reasons.
Its 10 bucks a month, thats two frappuccino's a month. I could kill more of that in a day depending on how many hours I work. By letting them bill my card each month... I'm telling EA that its ok. I accept what they are doing what they have done and what they are or are not going to do. I read my ToS/UA i know the drill.
I'm sarcastic by nature. My grandmother called it willful. She always had a soft spot for me. I don't blame her I was cute as hell as a child.
You won't find many who love this game more than me. I started playing on a whim and loved it and did my addiction phase... made my bff's from game... and sort of moved on after a while b/c pixelated mofos should be a hobby nt a way of life. When development stopped the first time I realized that there was a limit to all of this and I ventured out into new games... always keeping TSO to play when I wanted to... b/c it was a game. I already prepared myself for this years ago. With the hope the new team brought, well we were all excited. I think they did their best with a lot of hurdles and EA didn't give them that A for effort. Neither are we here on the forums.
I love gaming. I love the internet. And I even love some people on the internet.
I am what I am (sorta like Popeye) and you can take me or leave me.... I could care less... I don't know you... and I probably never will... but if you go and read through my idk like bajillion posts you will see me supporting the game in my way. At least be sure to check out my posts where I say free accounts have no say in the game...
Me being a free player would be totally ironic and hilarious.
Sometimes sarcastically sometimes sincerely, but the bottom line was always for fun... in the game and on this forum.
I'll do what I have to do to achieve my fun... until its no longer fun.
And TSO and this experience was worth every cent I spent on my main and additional accounts throughout the years...
I'm sad to see TSO go... but no, I'm not upset about what I spent on it. And I haven't even checked if they stealth billed me... I could care less about that too.
We are all getting the shaft here... even the dev team. You (general) can hate them all you want for this. I am pretty sure that this is not what they had in mind when they signed on for this.
To everyone else sorry for the nonsensical ramble... I hate Tuesdays.

Its 10 bucks a month, thats two frappuccino's a month. I could kill more of that in a day depending on how many hours I work. By letting them bill my card each month... I'm telling EA that its ok. I accept what they are doing what they have done and what they are or are not going to do. I read my ToS/UA i know the drill.
I'm sarcastic by nature. My grandmother called it willful. She always had a soft spot for me. I don't blame her I was cute as hell as a child.
You won't find many who love this game more than me. I started playing on a whim and loved it and did my addiction phase... made my bff's from game... and sort of moved on after a while b/c pixelated mofos should be a hobby nt a way of life. When development stopped the first time I realized that there was a limit to all of this and I ventured out into new games... always keeping TSO to play when I wanted to... b/c it was a game. I already prepared myself for this years ago. With the hope the new team brought, well we were all excited. I think they did their best with a lot of hurdles and EA didn't give them that A for effort. Neither are we here on the forums.
I love gaming. I love the internet. And I even love some people on the internet.
I am what I am (sorta like Popeye) and you can take me or leave me.... I could care less... I don't know you... and I probably never will... but if you go and read through my idk like bajillion posts you will see me supporting the game in my way. At least be sure to check out my posts where I say free accounts have no say in the game...
Sometimes sarcastically sometimes sincerely, but the bottom line was always for fun... in the game and on this forum.
I'll do what I have to do to achieve my fun... until its no longer fun.
And TSO and this experience was worth every cent I spent on my main and additional accounts throughout the years...
I'm sad to see TSO go... but no, I'm not upset about what I spent on it. And I haven't even checked if they stealth billed me... I could care less about that too.
We are all getting the shaft here... even the dev team. You (general) can hate them all you want for this. I am pretty sure that this is not what they had in mind when they signed on for this.
To everyone else sorry for the nonsensical ramble... I hate Tuesdays.

I haven't played in a long time but I am still sad to hear this news. I was on the fence, waiting to hear if anything changed that would really make me want to come back, though I felt doubtful when they took away casinos.
Still....people, get a grip. To those of you who are crying over this: I hate to break this to you, but it's just a game, and there's this nifty invention around called the *internet* that means you can stil stay in touch with your friends. Incidentally, it's the same invention that allowed you to meet said friends in the first place. So....maybe lay off the drama a bit, hmmm?
As for .calm - Yeah, that place is the pits, and sure they knew of all this before anyone else! I know this because I myself was....umm...dragged into that frigging place and forced to listen to their plans to take over the world while they fed me oatmeal and smoothies based on broccoli!
*takes off tinfoil hat and wipes her brow...puts tinfoil hat firmly back on*

eh
It will be US vs Them til the end I guess.
I too, have posted here on stratics for many years. I lurked for a super long time before that.
I dont sport a .calm siggy, although I have many times. I put my spring one on cuz Patrick made it for me and I was feeling nostalgia creeping up on me one day when the Santa one had to go.
Some of my bestest friends were made on TSO. I have met a few of them in real life.. and almost met some of them a few times. Im honored to have them in my life. I thank TSO for those people in my life.

haha I wish being a poster on a forum that is not stratics would get me inside information. Hi Danni ... <3
NOIP and not to get off topic... but to try to steer this back onto...
Sadly... it doesn't... and it wouldn't a good 95% of the people there are former TSO players who left stratics b/c they were former TSO players...
Two sides to every story ... lets not rehash this old chestnut... been there done that beeen there done that been there done that.
Its only normal for former/hibernating players to come out of the woodwork when their game is given the death sentence.
And half of the people who posted in this thread haven't really posted on .calm either.
They just lurky mclurk around the forums to get the scoop... so yeah.
back to the TSO Is closing show.
and the mic goes to......

It's so good to see some old faces in the crowd... Trish, Hile, Tigger... It's a sad day, the end of a truly special gaming era. For a lot of us, this was our first foray into the world of online gaming.
This game has made me laugh... it's made me cry. It's frustrated the hell out of me, it's bored me.... it's made me angry.... but most of all, what I will take from TSO and from all the people I met are a lot of fun memories and good friendships.
There are a few very special people in my life now that I never EVER would have met if not for TSO. This game has helped me in my rl too... it's given me the confidence to speak up, be more assertive... to tell the people that matter the most to me how much they mean to me
There will NEVER be another game that has this big of an impact on me and it will always have a treasured place in my heart.
I know emotions are running very high right now, and that some of you honestly didn't see this coming, but please try not to lash out at each other and say hurtful things. We have 90 days to come together and make plans to stay in touch and move on to other games or forums. It would have been so much more chaotic and traumatic to receive a much shorter notice.
I firmly believe the devs did everything within their power to save this game but were unable to convince the powers that be of the viability of it. To the devs I say thank you for trying, and thank you for inviting me back to revisit my old friends.
I was here at the beginning and I will be here at the end... hopefully slow dancing in the arms of my favourite simmie as we poof into pixelated stardust
PS.... please please PLEASE let us make some real simmoleans again at our chosen jobs and either give us max locks or turn decay off?
<3 to you all,
Madra/Mairi Dobalina

i didnt read the entire post section here and just jumped too the end so i could post my comment...
didnt the Dev's take this game from EA ? or bought it or whatever?
If so whats the problem with them trying too do what they could do without EA's permission.... If they got it from ea and was told have at it then if they want too keep it opened they should be able too and just would have too switch servers is all.. unless the group of Dev's Still work for EA yet?
Just my question is all... ya know with all of the talk that THIS GAME was no longer TSO...

A post from Tigger! It takes a 90-day-notice to get you to come out of lurk?
Memories, Tigger, glad to see you are well. Last time I looked (before it was merged) the 'hood in TC that was made as a get well wish for you was still there.
I hope your good health has been as enduring.

No it used to be a Maxis game and then EA got it...not sure how it works. I just know it was originally Maxis and now it's not.

from what i understand, maxis was bought out by ea in the 90s.
when tso was failing, luc went to the big guys and asked for a chance to save the game, under the condition that it totally separate itself from the 'sims' franchise. thats why even though ea owns maxis, they couldn't keep it as 'tso'.
i for one am completely appalled that ea would so carelessly toss aside such great developers who had the passion to try and rebuild the game we all loved. they left the developers under no-talk, no-update orders and then allowed them to take the bashing while they sat and washed their hands of this game. they didn't even step up and just say "hey look money talks and this game isn't talking".
thank you, to all the developers who had to put up with all the negative posts and the gag-order. you guys did the best you could with what options you were given, and i think that's all we could have really asked for, reasonably.
