The Sims Online is a video
game that was published by Electronic Arts for the
PC. It was released
2002. It has an ESRB Rating of
TEEN.
The Sims Online (TSO) is a massively multiplayer online game variation on Maxis' highly popular computer game The Sims. It was published by Electronic Arts and released on December 17, 2002 for Microsoft Windows.
As is typical of games of its type, it is nonlinear, and there are no ultimate objectives. However, the first month of play is free, and every subsequent month costs $9.99, although the price for the few european players that play The Sims Online is over inflated at £7.99.
Although TSO has been online for over four years, the game's future is still uncertain. In March 2007, an Electronic Arts employee, Luc Barthelet, stopped by the official forums after years of ignoring the game.
Luc left the production team for The Sims Online not long after the game went live, and since, he hasn't contributed to the game environment until March. After returning to development of Sims Online, he created a team of seventeen people in order to continue development and updates to The Sims Online. Most noticeably a new City that's been created, called "Test Center 3", which acts as a testing ground for the new updates that are soon to come.
A major and well anticipated update to the game is user custom content. Luc is also interested in any user-submitted ideas on how they could maintain a stable economy to negate the gains players made illegitimately through exploits. |
