Create and compete in your own competitions, as well as official tournaments, and exchange banter (or play mind games!) with your fellow players using the in-game chat and mail facilities.[/FONT]

Me and Conkers were BETA testing it initially for the first few months back in June/July.

Good game, even more addictive than the normal Football Manager.

This could potentially be the biggest MMORPG in the world! Possibly even bigger than Guild Wars, Ragnarok and World Of Warcraft!

Not sure about that, but I'm positive it will be a big game. All depends on the monthly cost, which I think they said would be £3 a month or so.

I love it how you can create your own tournaments, decide on the format, how many teams, how much to enter, dish out the prize money etc. The one bad thing about the game at the time was the weighting a decent striker had. If you had Thierry Henry or someone like that, you would win 80% of your games. Hopefully they've changed that now.

Okay, it might have to go some to beat Ragnarock (25m users) but the three games I mentioned are based in fantasy worlds, you either are into them or you're not. But there are many more people worldwide into football. Everquest 2 costs $14.99 a month which isn't too bad but it means that people are not going to have Everquest AND World of Warcraft. However, they might get FM Live as well as their Everquest.

Anyway, roll on the proper release.

does anyone know when this is released properly? Quite fancy giving it a go but looks the testing has closed

Nothing has been said on when it will be released.

I love it at the moment, but I'm not sure if they're planning an expensive monthly fee that might prevent me from playing.

Bloody addictive indeed (cheers for inviting me to test it Turkey!), even though I'm not exactly wonderful at it.
