The lack of having a game currently running, I think they know is a very serious blow to their business model. This is a true catastrophe and I am hoping they can get the game righted and going again.
The game started as a small community of players who played primarily to have fun and post what works and doesn't work on the forums, there was not even a rating system, just tracking of the amount of championships. Every league was a frenzy at midnight eastern time and the player pool was very small and if you missed the frenzy you were in big trouble. It was a lot of fun.
If we go back to the small community again due to this failed migration, as far as I am concerned this will have been the best migration in the history of the internet.
