Can't download new games, no internet connection?

[superski]

Help!  Please?  Running MTE installed originally on 01/31/08, BFG app version 3.3.0.2(28),  files in folder BFG Client dated 3/5/2014, files in MTE dated 10/6/2011.  Network connection set to default, was never changed.  Running on a HP mini 110, under win XP.  Can't download again, because the game can't be found, and seeing as how I am 800,000 points from Bronze Dog, I would rather not start over from the beginning!

Thanks

Hi Superski

Unfortunately Mte has been taken down by Big Fish - emails with them are still ongoing but not having alot of luck with them at the mo - i do have an idea up me sleeve but it will require Mte player support & at this point im not sure just how much of that is out there - so many played via other devices these days which is not what this particular game was designed for - wether there is enough PC player support out there to help push to see if a difference can be made is anyones guess right now - the 1 thing Bfg havnt answered at this stage is the "technical limitations" they are claiming is the issue - any limitations would be around other device playing of Mte but they are denying that at this time - the thread in the link below will take you to the Mte Bfg forum to give you an idea of where things are at at this point over there - iv not put anything out there anywhere as yet in relation to emails with them

I'll try to keep my eyes and ears open in case you need some help or what options remain.

Big fish has stated you can no longer down load new games. this is the message I received from them.."We recently became aware of some technical limitations with Mahjong Towers Eternity which resulted in the removal of the game's online functionality. While it was a difficult decision to remove the ability to download custom layouts in the game, players will still be able to enjoy the layouts in their favorites list.

If you have purchased the game and have it installed, you will be able to continue playing. At this point, the game will appear to be in "offline mode." Due to this change, the ability to send in-game messages and download layouts is no longer available."

so, how are you all getting new layouts??

It's obvious the "technical limitations" issue refers to the fact that it was no longer fiscally viable for them to use system resources to host the game. If they could've charged game users a subscription fee, they likely would still be running the game.
