Any nostalgic managers still playing OFM?

@hans-orf Not much can change. Old days were epic forum wise. So much quality content, so much activity.. But game was different back in the days, nowadays its focusing more on android users and iOS users and thats why forums have no chance of being what they used to be. Also too many legends left the game as they felt that game does not respect their older customers so I really see no way of bringing old days back..

content, so
Of course that's a reason but are we all gonna pretend it wasn't for the fact the game changed both the Manager Points/Ranking System and changed the tactics engine? That's what actually pushed many legends to leave and therefore the forums being in this dire state.
Anyway, since we're sharing, you might recognise some of these names (I'm also kinda bragging)
And a crew battle sheet of us getting absolutely trashed by the one and only RO MANIA. Wonder if any of the big crews are still around?

Oh yeah, I stopped playing competitive for years so I totally forgot about the MP Ranking system change. That one for sure pushed away too many legends of the game. Years and years of hardwork pushed away in a moment. I cant believe that they havent considered putting some sort of "Legendary Ranking", at least in records page, which wuould honor most loyal customers and showed them respect by showing them how much MP's they earned in their whole career...
Worst decision this game ever made. I do support most of the aspect of nowadays ranking system, but there should be some sort of system that would benefit those most loyal as well.

@tommy-timbers Why a new account and not 'revive' the old one?
And I didn't forced you to take the CM position... I invited you and you agreed on trying, you could always step down to the cheat hunter task
Nice to see you back.
Sophie @SUPERNOVA-8 is still around but way less active latelly, but once in a while she pops up to delight us with her posts.
About old OFM images.... how many of you remember names on this squad:
@specialone Tijhouse left us... Did you hear that?

@furrax_nl Yes I did...
Sad loss for Gamebasics and for OSM...
For those interested on knowing a bit more about it, you can read it in here - Dutch only

Not OSM staff league
This was a team from 2009 OSM world championship. Team build up with active and ex staff members and also with Gamebasics accounts.... Almost a decade passed already!

The phrasing “nostalgic manager” sounds very kind. Haha. What makes one nostalgic tho?

I'm nostalgic on the Dutch version.

Hello everyone,
How are you doing? Glad to see some familiar people here.
Best of luck!

@Diar-is-the-best Hey buddy, welcome back to the forums

@tommy-timbers Hi Ken, hope you're well! Spurs looking good! Since we last spoke, I believe my team broke the 114 year Scottish Cup curse. What a day that was! My original user was pwhibs62. Sending you my best wishes from Edinburgh!
-
@tommy-timbers It was brilliant. As far as club anthems go, Sunshine on Leith has to be the best. I am probably a bit biased towards my club but it really is special. Hope Spurs can put on a show next season - they're good to watch but surely (Don't call me Shirley!
) this squad is due some silverware.Hope you are having a good time in Pittsburgh and glad your team are going strong. Really is great to hear from you! Take care

@furrax_nl no, you are not. You were annoying but people tolerated you for some reason. Still, not nostalgic
@vinçentó-beçker_nl You can say what you want but I have changed.

I had many wonderful years on this game and, via the forums, made many good friends along the way, who I’m sorry I had to desert a few years ago. I’m glad to see that they are not entirely forgotten - indeed some of you are still knocking about in here!
I will always think of OFM fondly and was pleased to do my bit behind the scenes, as it were. It was largely thankless work of course with no real material reward to show for the hours we all put in (apart from the Christmas card and Doerak plush toy
) and yet I honestly do look back on my days here with a smile.I must say how sad I was though to hear the news about Frank. Without him, none of these memories would exist. We rarely spoke (on account of Frank and Jeroen being a bit like royalty - except they actually did some work, unlike actual royalty) so our paths didn’t often cross, but when they did he was always friendly, open and grounded. I am thinking of him and his family at the moment, and how far reaching his efforts in life were, in terms of the treasured imprint this game has left on the memories of a handful of people dotted around the globe such as I. It’s a pretty cool legacy to leave. Sleep well Frank.
Gary, Matt, Albino, Ken, Paul, Adam, Diar, Xristos, Ruby - it’s great to see your names floating around albeit under unfamiliar aliases in some cases! I hope you’re all doing OK.
Take care everyone. Till the next reunion
