Is "BMO" History?




If Baseball Mogul Online dies, part of me dies with it. I used to be a commissioner for only two leagues but it was one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. Baseball Mogul Online is an online server game that get to play against 30 other HUMAN Owners in dynasty mode. The leagues can go all the way into 2400 if simmed long enough. Some people have been happy with the service while others have this feeling of entitlement of having an upgrade or new MLB rosters, or both. Many others have felt like they have been strung along.

One of the best things about Baseball Mogul, or Baseball Mogul Online is that you can take the Seattle Mariners and build them into a winner. I know what you are thinking, (it is impossible) In BMO and not BM it is a lot harder because you can't exploit Computer AI because there is no computer AI. The only reason why BMO has lasted this long( it beta'ed in 2001) is because of its commissioners.

BMO is now free to existing customers while Clay either fixes BMO Billing or sells BMO to a competitor.

Here are some discussions that are going on over at the Baseball Mogul Online Forums:
Clay Dreslough announcement
Now What???- DaBRUINS League
BMO is free....for now, future a bit unclear - Ernie Harwell League
Its over- BOTB (Best of the Best)
BMO's Fate: Poll about BMO future- BOTB (Best of the Best)
BMO is free to existing Customers- Hall of Fame Mogul
Dabruins says he is gone, than finds out the service is free, than stays :)

Whatifsports SimLeague Baseball is still the king of online sports... you can take any players since 1885 to build your roster, and even better- some leagues last for one season, some continue for ten, twenty seasons. There are theme leagues with different rules and salary caps, and it is only $12.99 per team. You can also win rewards for winning the championship and stuff like that.It also appears to trump you guys in user friendliness and layout.
