The Save Date

Uncategorized

On December 7th 00:00 UTC (in around 6 hours), the server will shut down to perform a full data export of the database and lot/object save data. This save is what will be used for the archive version of the client. Please use today to get everything on your property in shape, as it any changes after this time won’t count. You wouldn’t want a plate on the ground to remain there forever… right?

Just before this, we will be present at the Sunrise Crater Town Hall for a countdown. You can remain home if you have some furniture you want to frantically arrange.

After the save and export is complete, the server will restart with an update that enables some experimental objects and for the last two days of the server. On Saturday night, there will be a special object distribution at the Sunrise Crater Town Hall. Then on Sunday night, the server will shut down permanently.

The Freesy

 

As one final gift before The Save Date, we’re running one final object giveaway event for a new object by called “The Freesy”. It’s a podium with The FreeSO logo and some fun interactions that you can place on your properties, that celebrates FreeSO’s almost 8 year run. Simply log into the game at any point from now to receive one in your sim’s inventory. Only one per account, since that’s how the event system works… I’ll be dropping one at every town hall too, so none of you have to do any donating! Please do not set it on fire.

 

Jams vs. Money Results

 

On Tuesday, the people of Sunrise Crater came out to earn money for the last time, and choose which was really more important. Jams, or literally anything else?

…they chose Jams. 2851-2547.

I would like to issue a formal apology for all times I have ever said a bad word about Jams or any affinity towards it. I feel compelled to say that though this affinity may seem misguided, it actually originates from a greater knowledge that many (such as myself) cannot properly comprehend. If only I had known this sooner, the game may have lived forever. If only.

Thank you all for participating, Jams, money or otherwise. The battle was well fought, with money taking an early lead but falling behind later on. I hope you all had a good time with it.

 

M**** is Over
