BMO SHUTDOWN - Dec 1, 2008

[Dee Dreslough]

Alright -- let's rip this bandaid off right here and now:

This page is to notify all Baseball Mogul Online users that we will be discontinuing the service as of December 1, 2008.

Why?
There are three main reasons:
#1 -The system is not profitable to operate for us. Even when it was at its peak of usership, it did not bring in enough money to support further growth and improvements.
#2 - We no longer have the staff needed to operate the system.
#3 - The machines and bandwidth that the system runs on were designed for a much larger load than we currently use. To economize, we will be switching services and bandwidth, and the new equipment will not support Mogul Online.

We deeply appreciate the years of participation from so many of you, and we hope you continue to be a part of the Sports Mogul community. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Dee and Clay Dreslough
Sports Mogul Inc.

Also, no one should have been charged for BMO after July 31st -- BoomBoom - can you contact me via email at dee@sportsmogul.com ? I'm going to track down and reverse those charges. If anyone else got billed, let me know!

I bet this gets a bad reaction

I just want to let everyone know I have really enjoyed playing with you all.

I have played the PC version for years and its really too easy to dominate and kind of sucks, and BMO Online has been great against all the competition.

I'm sorry to see it end.

wow , just wow....

Yeah this really is a sad day for me.... I have left BBMO in the past 5 years like 4 times but never for longer than like a 3 month period or so LOL.... the game always brought me back..... Now to know it can never happen again.... where are the rest of you guys going to go??? Do you know of a game where we can all play together again?

[TheNamelessPoet]

Are you guys scrapping the code? Are you willing to sell it?

Are you guys scrapping the code? Are you willing to sell it?

good question...i don't know shite about that stuff, but i do know a thing or 2 about acquisition funds

[braves15]

I thought they've been trying to sell it for awhile now.

Why not just sell off the online version?

Oh well, looks like this was a lost cause and it's sad to see.

[nblechman]

Dee, you do realize that April 1st past some time ago right????

[ragecage]

I wonder if the forums are going to shut down as well?

[Drake44444]

I think they said they were talking about selling it, but didn't. I don't know why they wouldn't want to get something over nothing.

I hope they dont pull an EA Games on us. (Motor City Online), great game but didnt want to sell the code.

this is exactly my belief.
