Over and out

Written by Equipo Easy On at 12:58 20/2-2013

  Now it is finally over. 4 seasons after Eli sold out his team in protest and disappointment with the advent of the cheaters, the team is finally being shut down.
  
  All team activites will stop, no more logins will occur (EEO may still be logged in in some computers and devices at various places / in this case immediate logouts will take place) This is to ensure that any new team is not jeopardized.
  
  EEO has a long proud history, dating back more than 16 seasons ago. Initially registered in Costa Rica, the team made his way into Division 1 with a season and spent more than 8 seasons in the Top 5 of the game, and more than 5 seasons on the top spot, peaking at an embarrassing 8000+ points at one time, in spite of a focus on obscure Caribbean islands.
  
  EEO prides itself not ever to have taken part in any dodgy business.
  
  Eli will try to find satisfaction in starting a team from scratch, but it is doubtful that this will succeed.
  
  The team will most likely be registered in Singapore, where Eli is resident today.
  
  Cheers, it has been fun for most of the time.
  
  Comments are useless, they will not be read :D

  I could not register a new team because all my IP's were blocked :).

  Sorry to see you go Eli but was a long time coming I guess :( you where one of my examples!
  
  But no sell out a good place for your riders to finish their career?
  
  Please do start a new team mate! Curious to see how you will do! Do arrange the IP thing :)

Equipo Easy On at 01:19 21/2-2013
  lol guys, thanks for the kind words, but of course I could not register a new team because of the IP ... so we will see.... Maybe I contact Nick

  What took you so long!!! No just kidding it's sad to see someone who plays this game longer than I do leave makes me feel old myself. Guess you where a big example to most players who started with me if I look at sprint4live he almost has a same kind of team as you did once.
  
  
  BTW No sell out? :(
  
  You can still visit your old team like we do :p
