WipEout HD/Fury/2048 Server Closing Avalon Event | March 28th 2018

[noffelhonk]

We just thought it would be nice to organize a small competitive event during the final days of HD Fury online, for whoever would like to join. Just a fun little tournament, that's all

I don't mind the idea of an actual tournament - something like that hasn't happened here since Equilibrium (I think?). It can be completely separate from the whole Avalon thing.

Hello Everyone!
Avalon Announcement: 28/01/2018

Because of Suggestions we have received, We are Extending Avalon for you guys! We will be Running Avalon during the Weekend Prior to the closure of the servers as well! 😃

Dates:
-March 24th, 19:00 BST (Saturday) to March 25th, 22:00 BST (Sunday)
-March 28th, 12:00 BST to the Closure of the Servers at March 29th, 6am BST [Estimated Time of Closure]

Why 6am BST Estimation?
The reason for 6am Estimation is because on the official PlayStation Game server page, it now displays that Gravity Rush 2 is going offline at 6am, but in July instead of March. Under Estimation, i reckon the servers might close at 6am for WipEout HD/Fury/2048 too but on March 29th. Don’t quote me, i could be completely wrong, but hopefully this gives you a rough idea on when the servers will shutdown.

Thanks! 🙂

I'll send PM's to all WO players I have on my friends list that might, just for the hell of it, turn up and have a last race......expect a lot of French and Dutch.....it will be a lot of rusty old farts I imagine.

That could be more than you think turn up, as I've got well over 100, and most of those are from playing WO and helping to run the WO World Cup.

I suppose the bottom line is, who out of all that used to play HD/FURY online on a PS3, still have a PS3, I know a fair few don't.

This is just a Post to Announce that Tournament Sign Ups are Now Officially Closed. You can no longer sign up for the tournament. If you are apart of the tournament, nothing affects you . If you didn’t quite make the tournament sign ups, there’s always plans we can and we will make in the future, so keep an eye out!
We hope to see you online racing with us Throughout Avalon 2018.

I just started a event notification at both the PS4 Omega Pack community, and the PS4 Wipeoutzone community informing all of the impending server shut down, as well as PMing all on my friends list about it.
This just might end up being the biggest GG this game has had in years.

EDIT: NEVER EVER send 100+ friends the same message....I've been inundated already.....this IS going to be BIG!

Elhabib is waiting for the VR update and intends to kick butt when that eventuates, and a few have sold their PS3's, but generally the response is positive.

[Danterich]

so, PS3 end times? PSnow started today in my region.
I will join some races on Avalalon weekend, but not the tournament. Best wishes. Peace!

We had a GG today and it was fun as always, especially the chat room.
There will be another GG tomorrow and possibly the day after....warming up for the big server shut down on Wends .....why couldn't Sony have left the Omega servers like the PS3 HD/FURY ones? There might actually have people playing on them if they had.

By the way, if anybody finds a Hampster, I know who it belongs to.
