I believe you should've at least said something, just a simple tweet "dailies won't run for a while, we're restructuring and improving the system" would've prevented a lot of worrying, and even maybe built up hype.
Either way, great to see that you guys are officially back in action here's to a smooth 2013!
Yeah I think they should have said something to. Oh well hopefully if this happens again they decide to say something before 2 months pass or however long it's been .
I miss watching the dailies, really want those to come back; I would just come back from classes and then do HW w/ the daily in the background everyday. Watching IPL was great though, with so many of the familiar voices it was like an expanded Playhem Daily .

Did you feel that having tournaments EVERY SINGLE DAY brought down the "value" of each one? it definitely seemed like an excessive amount of tourneys...
No way. What people missed about the daily that it was world class players going against each other every day, twice a day. Some of the now amazing people you know of originated from Playhem or actually were kings of the tournament for a long period. Take for example people like Hyun, Snute, Violet, Revival =).
The value was huge, regardless of viewership, it was a place for people to launch their careers.
Not only good players developed their rise on the dailies, but also Casters (i.e. Frodan ,Kibbelz, Jorosar, Katu, Robin) who can train themselves and then get bigger gigs, and ofcourse also admins - practice makes perfect they say.
Looking forward to watch dailies again.
Hoping for some more community help for that then - in the times of consolidation and dieing out weekly cups.
I'm happy you guys gave us this status update but why was there no post like this before you guys abruptly disrupted your services? I think it's really important in keeping with your commitment to users by being conscious of the timings at which you're transparent.
Just to clarify, I'm not attempting to be overly critical, but I really would like to know as this is puzzling to me. I look forward to the future.
Glad to finally get an update on this, though I'm agreeing with what most others have said, could've come earlier. Would've avoided a lot of speculation that way!
Really looking forward to seeing Playhem back. It was one of few things that kept me playing. those lower league tournaments, man. <3
i really enjoyed the service, just hated playing every day as after i lost my BSG tournie, mad as you always are cos you went 3 rnds deep!!, looked at the winners account and saw they have been in masters league at some point ^^. all fun tho!
EPT
here's to a smooth 2013!
