All Good Things Come to an End

Volition Watch is closing. No doubt quite a few of you are going to be in for a shock with this annoucement and maybe some of you aren't as surprised as you thought you might be.

Back in December of 1997 I saw my very first advertisement for Descent: FreeSpace and I was hooked almost right away. A game that combined the fast action of Wing Commander with the depth of play of TIE Fighter was a surefire winner and we all know that it was. In 1998, I made my first FreeSpace themed website and it served as the basis for FreeSpace Watch and the creation of this network to cover all of the Volition games.

Its now 2004 and things have changed. Most of us are older now with new responsibilities and new interests. Our time here in this community is up. We've had a fantastic time running this website but as with all good things...they come to an end.

We'd like to thank the legions of loyal visitors to our website, we'd like to thank the additional staff that have helped us from time to time, and we'd like to thank the members of our hosted teams for working with us and being as much a part of this network as everyone else. Above all else we'd like to thank our host Telefragged for making Volition Watch and all of our subsites (and especially VW Archive which went above and beyond the call!) possible and for allowing us the freedom to be a part of this great community.

Our site is closing but our friends and neighbors at HardLight Productions continue on. Many of the familiar and unfinished projects that existed here will continue on there.

Volition Watch will remain available for an undetermined period of time. We won't be posting any new content so you are still welcome to enjoy our Volition Art section, read our interviews and articles, and search our forums for helpful hints.

Thanks to everyone!
