After a long period of hard work by Kalimar and the QA team, we're getting ready to update the Fantasy Football Client to version 1.0. There are a lot of new things in this new version, and I am certain Kalimar will be posting something about this soon (hint: we're getting support for more skills). This news announcement is not about the new features though, but a heads-up of what will happen during the migration:

1. On September 23, at 20:00 server time (CEST), the website and game servers are going down for maintenance.
2. This is important: All games in an unfinished state will be purged at this time. Unfinished state means all games which are not properly uploaded to the FUMBBL website, with results applied to teams as appropriate.
3. Once Kalimar and I are both happy with the upgrade, the site will come back online.
4. To begin with, you may not be able to replay old matches. The reason for this is that all replays need to be migrated to a new format and this is estimated to take roughly 55 hours.

Those of you who are still part of official tournaments will receive a notification from PurpleChest on how this affects your games and the deadlines.

I am hoping that this won't disrupt plans and schedules for leagues and tournaments run by you people, and hope that you will have patience with us during this upgrade. We will do our utmost to be available to solve any problems you may run into as an effect of this process.

This is easily the largest upgrade that the FFB client has gone through since we introduced it on FUMBBL, and I am very very happy to finally see the magic 1.0 version number.

Update: The date has been changed to the 23rd.
