In case you haven't noticed, EA started to shutdown their older Facebook
games last April and will continue to do so until June 14, 2013.
“The decisions to retire older EA games are never easy. The
development teams and operational staff pour their hearts into these
games almost as much as the customers playing them and it is hard to see
one retired. But as games get replaced with newer titles, the number
of players still enjoying the older games dwindles to a level — fewer
than 1% of all peak online players across all EA titles — where it’s no
longer feasible to continue the behind-the-scenes work involved with
keeping these games up and running. We would rather our hard-working
engineering and IT staff focus on keeping a positive experience for the
other 99% of customers playing our more popular games. We hope you have
gotten many hours of enjoyment out of the games and we appreciate your
ongoing patronage.” EA mentioned in a
post.
