Statement posted on Real Baseball's webpage after the game shut downReal Baseball Online became inaccessible to play in October 2008. The main webpage of Real Baseball posted a statement saying, "The service for Cal Ripken's Real Baseball is currently halted until further notice. We apologize for any inconvenience." Not long after, Netamin's own corporate webpage ceased to exist, cementing the demise of the game. A fan-initiated open-source project titled Multiplayer Baseball Online was in active development from about early 2009 until mid-2010, when the project was halted.

Big League Online soon went down as well, as nothing has been heard from the developers in over a year.
