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.
