Wow it's been a long time since my last post and a lot has happened since! Sadly we witnessed the demise of FML and I wasn't sure how to write a goodbye post, a shame as I really enjoyed FML and writing on this blog.
Anyway, I'm glad to say that we have something bright on the horizon in terms of an MMO Football Management game! Something I am very proud to be working on as well.
Founded out of the ashes of FML, a group of ex-FMLers came together to work towards a new game, titled Ultimate Football Live (UFL). At first many people were skeptical, but recent developments have shown that we are very serious about the project.
We are not aiming to make a copy of FML, of course we will look at FMLs finer points but we are designing the game in a way which will maximise its chance of success.
I also want to note that a company is formed, Netsports Software Ltd and we hope to have a website for it soon.
I just want to list some links of interest:

It's been great to see lots of discussions and feedback on the forums and game development is coming along well. At the moment we are in pre-Alpha stage and the target for the commencement of Alpha Testing is Q3 2011, with Beta following a few months after that hopefully.
For the Alpha testing stage it will mostly consist of the development team, but also those who contribute greatly on the forums may be invited. For Beta, we will certainly be needing many testers and closer to the beginning of Beta testing there will be a Beta signup page on the website.

One thing that I want to mention is that there is still space on the development team. In particular we are after another Java developer, a C++ developer and a Financial Manager. If you feel you could offer anything to the project for any of these roles, or in any other way please contact us here or here.
Would be great to hear more feedback about them in that thread.
Thanks for reading and please come visit us on the forums and help us spread the word about UFL!
