If this isn’t a sign that the MySims spin-off of The Sims is dead, I dunno what is.
The decisions to retire older EA games are never easy. The development teams and operational staff pour their hearts into these games almost as much as the customers playing them and it is hard to see one retired. But as games get replaced with newer titles, the number of players still enjoying the older games dwindles to a level — fewer than 1% of all peak online players across all EA titles — where it’s no longer feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with keeping these games up and running. We would rather our hard-working engineering and IT staff focus on keeping a positive experience for the other 99% of customers playing our more popular games. We hope you have gotten many hours of enjoyment out of the games and we appreciate your ongoing patronage.

Haha, I like how this highlight how EA is gold-diggers, obiviously 99% is more better than 1% but then again you losing that 1% more or less pernamently anyways xD
I think if they put in more effort to the series (by making games like Agents and Kingdom, instead of Party and Sky Heroes), they would have made more money, and kept the game series alive.
Aw what! I just got my 6 year old cousin into this game, she loves it! And now the online is shutting, darn. I was going to go and play with her on it 😛
WTF ! I was thinking to try this game. I feel like miss half of my life. 🙁
