It is with mixed emotions that today we are announcing the EA-Land experiment will soon draw to a close,” read the EA post.

Since 2002, EA-Land / TSO has attracted a very special group of players (of which you are one) and we certainly appreciate your participation in the EA-Land community. The lifetime of the game has drawn to an end, and now we will be focusing on new ideas and other innovative concepts in the games arena.”
