Bye, bye The Sims Online

Since Donovan had the courage to write "Lee Clampett"

I have the courage to write "Bye, bye The Sims Online"

sung to the tune of "American Pie"


A long long time ago
I can still remember
How TSO used to make us smile
And I knew if we had our say
That we could get EA to sway
And maybe they would let us stay awhile
But every day the news was clear
That the very end was near
No news on the website
We couldn't keep up our fight
I can't remember if we cried
When the rumors TSO would die
But something touched us deep inside
The day TSO died
So...


Bye, bye The Sims Online
Sold my rares for 10 billion and said good-bye
Them good ole bots were bleeding EA dry
Singing this'll be the day TSO dies
This'll be the day TSO dies


We can't make much simoleans
And do you have faith in the new system
Just cause Luc tells you to?
Now do you believe in being poor?
Can this way be a TSO lure?
And can you teach me to survive for sure?
Well, I know we all want trust in Luc
'cause we all would be gone and that would suck
We all kicked off our shoes
'cause we had nothing to lose
We were lonely simmies in a lonely land
With worthless simoleans in our hand
But we all knew that we were damned
The day TSO died
We started singing



Bye, bye The Sims Online
Sold my rares for 10 billion and said good-bye
Them good ole bots were bleeding EA dry
Singing this'll be the day TSO dies
This'll be the day TSO dies

Now, for 3 years we've been on our own
With nothing to do but skill like drones
But that's not how it used to be
When the game was new it was bot free
And we were all just newbies
We all learned how to play nicey
Oh and while we simmed we learned a lot
Some simmies started making bots
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
And while EA ignored our plees
To give us updates weekly
We just kept playing on nicely
The day the TSO died
We were singing

Bye, bye The Sims Online
Sold my rares for 10 billion and said good-bye
Them good ole bots were bleeding EA dry
Singing this'll be the day TSO dies
This'll be the day TSO dies


Helter Skelter in the payout swelter
The simoleans flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
And landed foul on the grass
The simmies tried for more and fast
With EA on the sidelines in agast
Now the halftime air was sweet perfume
While EA played the cancel tune
We all got mad as hell
That we could lose our money swell
The simmies tried to take the field
But EA said no and refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day TSO died
We started singing



Bye, bye The Sims Online
Sold my rares for 10 billion and said good-bye
Them good ole bots were bleeding EA dry
Singing this'll be the day TSO dies
This'll be the day TSO dies



Oh, and there we were all in one place
All little simmies lost in space
With no time left to till the end
So Luc be nimble, Luc be quick
EA sat on a candlestick
'cause fire is the devil's only friend
And as we learned of EA-Land
We all questioned the evil hand
No angel born in hell
Could break that EA spell
And the flames climbed high into the night
To light the sacrificial rite
We saw how Luc tried to fight
The day TSO died
We were singing


Bye, bye The Sims Online
Sold my rares for 10 billion and said good-bye
Them good ole bots were bleeding EA dry
Singing this'll be the day TSO dies
This'll be the day TSO dies


I met a few who sang the blues
And we asked for some happy news
But EA just had their way
I went back to hit the stores
Where I'd been years before
But everyone there had gone away
And all that was left was a dream
Of all of what could have been
Not a word was spoken
All our dreams were broken
And the simmies that left hastily
I hoped would come back with amnesty
And would join us ever lastly
The day TSO died
And we were singing


Bye, bye The Sims Online
Sold my rares for 10 billion and said good-bye
Them good ole bots were bleeding EA dry
Singing this'll be the day TSO dies
This'll be the day TSO dies

Im speechless...very well done. Never will say goodbye though. You can take the sim out of TSO but you can NEVER take TSO outta the Sim. All is as it should be.

I'll never say goodbye to TSO. Those of us founders will always be sims, and never avatars. This will always be TSO to me - change the name of the game, money or whatever you want - but this will always be TSO where I met many, many good friends in September of 2002, that I *still* talk to today.

I don't like to say good-bye either but....

The more changes I see coming the less and less it's going to look like the old game I loved. I still like the name Sims and the money called Simoleans, and I will still call them that.

Here Here! Will always be the game I dragged my best friend into kicking &amp; screaming and her getting just as addicted as I am. Where I met some of the best people in the "WORLD" not just in the USA. The Money will always be Simonleans. Here's to Tipsy, Sheerluck, Morticia ,Gomex, Pugsley, Wednesday, Bob Dobalina and all the Dobalinas, Shasta's, to those ugly green pj's &amp; staring at the little fish tank to get 'fun'. to Code at 600§ per greening. *sigh* you can take the Sim out of TSO, but you can't take the TSO outta the sim. *Digs up old TSO pics n makes a memorie page.*
