You will be able to play TSO once again, free forever! The Sims Online existed from late 2002 to 2008 and was a popular social MMO way ahead of it's time. When it came out in 2002, most areas of the world were still in the age of dial-up. Lag turned away many and the idea of paying a monthly fee to play a game was common only to a small group of gamers, as this was before MMORPG's really became mainstream. These issues along with other factors resulted in TSO being seen by the media as a total flop. TSORestoration.com was founded by Ghost and Afr0 and went public on October 22, 2010 and has seen an incredible growth of new members. We're a team of talented individuals who are working hard to bring back the game that we all loved, The Sims Online. We do this with no financial incentive and have plans to eventually provide the capability for you too one day be able to have your own server!
