He is letting owners take credits already purchased in the past towards subscription. Those people are also the only people who paid to begin with. This is no windfall it is just monetary conversion. And it has an end date unless he turns those into regular subscribers plus adds some new ones.

All this to a game he has updated twice since I’ve first logged in. One to roll out 4.6, one to kill OLBZone.

Years, that has been years.

Hi everyone, I have been out of town for the past few days and just logging back in to see the news. I guess there isn't much to say and much I can do. As you all know, I have only paid money once in this game and that is to create this league and I have never done the multiple teams at once thing. It sounds like we will lose our customization options for the league, which is fine - I kept most things as default anyways, other than shortening free agency. I guess we missed our change to cut down the number of pre-season games. Anyways, I will be here. I will still probably spend 0 on this game. We will hope that others see the quality of our league and fill up the slots. And if this eventually becomes the end of the game, it has been a good ride for sure. But hope springs eternal! Maybe we really do get all the changes and updates finally!

Norm. How’d you get so chill

In order to create and maintain a league, it will require the customization tier. The created league will remain if the league owner drops to a lower tier, but all customizations, including league customizations, will now fall under the customization subscription.[/quote]

The end is near!!!

Sorry to see you go wait, but I completely understand. If you're only going to have a single team without paying, the ultra competitive XFL with the most high intensity owners is probably the best way to go.

I googled "free football game" in 2020 when the pandemic was starting and found MFN, and probably went two plus years of playing before buying credits for the first time. If I was coming into MFN in 2024 I'm sure I'd start out with the free option too, so you're probably right that jdb will only get enough money to keep the servers going (maybe). I won't be surprised if one day I come to log in and the game is just gone, but hopefully that won't happen.

Dude, bet on that happening.


No joke, let’s put together money and a group. I want to make a push to purchase a portion of this from JDB. If he needs capital we can provide that while creating accountability for progress. If JDB does not peak any interest in this approach, then the subscription model was a ruse to begin with.

He clearly cannot do this on his own either financial or through self management. I think a collective could help if he is willing to actually get to work. And if he does, then he should be paid. Right now he is asking everyone to sign a blank check while he has zero recent history of putting much effort into the game.

I want MFN to stay. I want it to progress. Not like this though because there is no belief by me he makes enough to keep server running AND the cost for him to make any changes.

I’m playing the long game though. If significant positive change occurs, then I will pay. In the short term, I’d rather become an investor to put a balance behind the scenes that doesn’t exist currently which is why nothing is getting done until this pay wall update. This is the biggest update since OLB zone removes. That’s rough and says minimal for future state other than a broken game could cost 36-150 $ a year!!!!!! That value is not relative to anything in the world. They sell real games from real developers for less than that on your App Store.

For what it's worth, I am already subscribed to the Customization Tier if needed. Is there a co-league management option if we ever need to make such changes?
