Goodbye Hattrick
The online football manager game Hattrick has been around since 1997 and is still one of the most popular with almost 1 million active users. I joined Hattrick seven years ago and became a devoted manager. My team “Lokomotiv D” started in division 6 but advanced to division 4 during the first couple of years. Then it went downhill again. My team now resides in division 5 but the future does not look bright.
I remember being very passionate about Hattrick a couple of years ago. Logging on to Hattrick was a part of my daily routine and when my team was playing I quite often sat in front of the computer to watch the live updates. But I guess everything must come to an end and lately I have been a sloppy manager. I am now seriously considering to let go of Hattrick. When I signed up, a couple of my friends also had teams and it was fun to compete against each other. Now, almost everyone has left and I have never been an active community member at Hattrick.org – I just liked the game part of it. This is probably the main reason to why I don’t bother anymore. Hattrick has become quite complex which means that you can not cheat if you want to have success. You have to be committed and spend lots of time – I have decided that I can’t do that anymore.
But it is hard to let go because I’ve been there for so long. Even though I almost never log on anymore I will miss the opportunity of being able to. Goodbye Hattrick – I will remember the good times we had.
It’s a shame! I never knew you or your team, but I’m sure I’ve browsed around and seen the logo
It seems more and more people are leaving as the game engine is becoming more complex, however for us that are active this means good added value – something new to think about maybe.
