Hmmm, what is the purpose of this shittiness? Maybe I'm missing the point. Of course, it could be because there isn't one.  |

Not exactly sure, but my best guess Army, is this is their lame attempt to cash in on the Second Life market as well as to woo back those Second Lifers who'd already ditched them. It strikes me as yet another fuck-up in a string of increasingly massive fuck-ups from this pathetic "entertainment" company. |

They're rehashing The Sims Online and making it like Second Life, where you can buy and sell pixel objects and properties with real money that has been converted into fake money.
Fuckers. Douchebags. Profanity profanity profanity.
It seems like EA's giant stamp of approval for TSR. I cry inside.

So we refuse to stamp their lame idea by not spending money on their site (I hope) I cross my fingers that the lack of new and shiny graphics will put off most of the sheeple. |

Yes come across this a while back and LOL'd - what a big crap secret thing they were working on. Unless I've massively misunderstood (in which case someone please correct me), SimsOnline is primarily free but you have the option to subscribe with real money, but can get the same bonuses of paying by actually playing the game itself...? In which case, this just shows TSR's ultimate suckiness to EA and EA's crapiness I'd like to make some piniatas in the likenesses of Thomass and whoever it was at EA who ok'd this. If you search on the EA Land Site's Blog, you only get mentions of Steve, and a couple of FAs (our pal DOT too!) - none of Thomas himself hrm |

What cracks me up on the first site is that in the intro text they say 'free to play', but directly to the right is the link for subscribing. And gee, if you go to TSR's site, you can use your TSR account to login....isn't THAT special.

Yes, free to play, but of course The first step is to purchase a store lot. And they have a blog post about the Best ways to make money, which by the way, includes selling custom content. And THIS is coming from EA?!!!
Boy, I always thought that EA can do better than that crappy layout. geez.
