Sim's Online dying out?

geekergeeker Member Posts: 2
Is it me or is The Sim's Online dying out? When I first started playing TSO it was loaded with people, there were full lots everywhere, and little blinking lights like Tinsletown. Now your lucky to find a half dozen blinking lights, and maybe one full lot. I think its sad, but I guess the era of online chat games is over. Have most people gone to Second Life, which i feel is basically online porn, or have they gone There? I will miss dancing on water, and spending thousands of Simoleans trying to find a "rare". Where will Simon the Mime go? Farewell TSO, I will miss you. image

       Lately at the most recent GDC he admited that TSO was one of the only games he made he felt was a failure.
    Hes always been about teaching people about processes and functions of reality. Take Sim Ant, Sim Earth, Sim Farm, Sim Island, Sim Cities, Sim Safari, Sim Park.. gosh thats alot of sims lol, those are just the ones I own lol. There was Sim Car, Sim Copter, Sim Town for kids and Sim Tunes ! Gosh I forgot that one. Notice the pattern? He was teaching people how to manipulate enviroments and enjoy them. Personally I was a huge fan of Sim Earth. I used to go crazy every time I got to Terraform mars! Anyways I cant wait for Spore! The Sims were fun, but I like the bigger picture and always willimage

    its funny EA and cancell Earth and Beyond but they keep failing games like TSO going. I wonder how much longer TSO will be going for? There are already less subscribers in TSO than there were in EnB when it was cancelled.

    I don't like Sims games, never heard of TSO until I came here. I think they should quit the whole serie.

    Oh, there is 1 Sim game I like, Spore, it's coming soon, seems fun!

    I love The Sims, absolutely love them all, The Sims and The Sims 2 and all the expansions.

    But The Sims Online was horrible.  I wouldn't be surprised if it is dying out.  Personally, I don't think it should have ever been born.  The Sims belongs as a singler player game only.  A better Sims Online is called real life.

    Spore is a game, where you are a very small organism, you need to eat, and multiple youself. You become bigger, and after a while you have created a new animal kind. First you are primitive, like a monkey, then you will get new weapons, and more like that, you will become like human. After a while playing, you get the oppurtunity to create spaceships, after you've conquered the planet you started on, you know can conquer the whole galaxy! You have like 6000+ planets, so it will take a while.

    While you are playing, you will get alot of technologies and stuff, an automatic system will put this online, so other people playing Spore will also get those technologies, fun right?

    This game is going to be fun, they are saying that it will take 67+ years to control all the planets. It's created by the creator of The Sims.

    I never really liked The Sims Online... never thought it was that great at all. Too... ahh... plain, and just boring.
