FM 2011 Release Day Recap

Football Manager 2011 is officially released, so did the 1st patch. I was very pleased to see that we set a new daily traffic record on the day that just passed, even having the server fail due to overwhelming traffic.

Rest assured everything that gets out from all around the scene you will see it here, all quality material in terms of downloads and articles will appear here. Please be patient with some pending updates though, as it might take a day or two for our player lists pages to get updated for example...

I'm planning to start a weekly recap you will be given the option to subscribe to by email, as a newsletter type of thing. I've picked Sunday night as the right time to do this recap, so when you're finished watching the football highlights from the weekend you can browse here and see what has happened for the past week for anything FM.

We're experiencing problems with our hosting at the moment, because we didn't expect so much traffic really. We need either a server upgrade for our VPS or an entirely new dedicated server. Our running costs will rise up either way, but so far the ad revenue seems to cover most of it. We'll be introducing subscription plans for premium accounts in the next few days, and we're hoping to get in a healthier situation financially after that. But still, our downloads will remain free for all, so no need to worry about that.
