Hey everyone,

Although I hate to be the bringer of bad news, I'm afraid it'll have to be done anyway... I've worked on FirmFootball for a little over a year, (some of the team even longer..), and we've all had lots of fun building it and even more fun as we saw it come to life, being played, people telling us about it, seeing friends in the game, and basically making the whole game into a reality...

But, we've also seen that the total of number of players online wasn't as high as we hoped it'd be, an unending stream of bugs, issues with some of our more advanced systems, and many hardware problems, as well as a dissapointingly low income, basically showing us that the game wasn't done.

Now, more then 2 years down the road, the game still features bugs, technological issues, and other problems that keep lots of people from binding to the game. Since we're still a company, and we all have to pay our bills at the end of the month, we've had to make a very difficuly decision.

We've decided to take FirmFootball offline, at least for the time being, while we focus on another project that will hopefully work out better. Although the game servers will be down somewhere near the end of the week, the game itself will be shelved, and perhaps we will continue work on it later, when more time and resources are available.

Of course we're taking down the payment options too, and any players who spent money on Tokens can request a refund. To get one; send an email to premium@firmfootball.com and include your name, bank account number, valid IBAN/BIC codes (for international transfers), and the method of payment you used for the Tokens. This also goes for any Tokens already spent, if you want.

Best wishes, and hopefully until another game,
The FirmFootball Team
