RIP Sims Online

Posted by Simon Lameth on May 7, 2008

In a not-surprising move last tuesday (meme intended), Electronic Arts announced that, effective August 1st, The Sims Online (which at some point seems to have been renamed “EA-Land”) will shut down for good.

“We share the sadness of the entire community in writing this blog to announce that the EA-Land experiment is being brought to an end. Decisions such as these are never easy and the rationale for closing EA-Land is particularly complex. Regardless, it is hard to see the end of the collective investment of emotion, time and friendship.” said Luc Barthelet, who seems to be the EA-Land Project Manager said in a blog post.

The Second Life Times Blog (and for those veteran readers, The Alphaville Times) will be uploading our archive of TSO Photographs in the coming days.
