FIFA Online was a free-to-play massively multiplayer online football game which was announced in early January 2010 and later released on May 26 of that same year. It featured microtransactions which was affirmed by EA that "they would be optional and WOULD NOT have any impact on the specific gameplay". It started out with 30 leagues- (which meant that there would be 500 teams and 15,000 players available in the game) but was later updated to all of the current leagues and teams. FIFA Online started out with only 3 forms of gameplay- League, Versus and 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, but then a new mode was later added during FIFA Online's "Big Reset" which was called Tournaments. FIFA Online was one of the most successful football MMORPGs on the internet.
On the 18th March 2011, It was announced on the FIFA Online Forums website and on FIFA Online's homepage that the game will end and the servers were closed on 25th March.
