Freestyle PH Fouls Out

In an official announcement posted last January 28, GM Misty of Level-Up Games posted in the Freestyle Forum Boards that Freestyle, the country's first casual online game, is closing down on March 2, 2010.

Freestyle PH is closing to make way for the company's FPS game, KOS: Secret Operations.

Here is Level-Up's statement regarding the issue:

To our beloved Freestyle Players,

Before anything else, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to the FS community for sticking it out with us through all these years. We can only attribute all the success of Freestyle because of your undying support.

Based on recent developments, JCE, the developer of Freestyle, has decided that it would be better to service the Philippines through their global servers. This thrust will hopefully foster a more competitive environment as the game moves on to an international ball park.

So it is with a heavy heart that we announce that the game servers of the first ever casual game in the country will shut down for the very last time on the closing hours of March 2, 2010.

It is difficult and painful for the Level Up! FS Team to say goodbye to 4 years of fun, friendship and camaraderie. There were good times and bad times, but through it all you guys never left us and for that we are grateful. It was truly one hell of a ride.

However, we hope you continue to keep posted to levelupgames.ph as we will be giving timely information on developments regarding Freestyle’s global service in the future.

To those who have remaining Blingies in the game, be advised that we will be converting them back to LU credits.

- To those who have no My! Level Up Account yet, you must create one so we may revert your remaining Blingies back into LU credits which you in turn may use for other LU games. To create a MyLU account now, click here.

- Remaining credits in-game will be converted back to LU credits on February 19, 2010 (after which, all remaining Blingies in the game will be wiped out).

- For those who would like to know what else is in store for the FS community in Level Up!, click here.

Level Up! is one big family and the FS Community will always and forever be a part of it.

Again, Thank you FS Playaz.

We Neva Lose!
