Hello, everyone.

With regard to this announcement from Ready at Dawn: https://medium.com/@EchoGames/an-update-on-the-future-of-echo-vr-7f074dca1ed1

We want to first say that we feel the same hurt that you all do about the recent announcement. Echo Arena is more than just a VR Game. It has been a home to so many of us. A place where we've met best friends, started new families, created new businesses, reignited old passions or set fire to new ones, and challenged ourselves in ways we never have before. Seeing it come to an end was the last thing any of us expected. We were as shocked at the news as you are and share in this deep disappointment.

We understand that among the reactions and emotion that there are going to be questions with regard to Echo Arena VRML, Season 7, VRML Con, and VRML generally. So allow us to outline our intentions moving forward.

1) VRML Con will still be happening.
We will have more information on what this will look like for Echo Arena, but we intend to go out with a bang.

2) Season 7 will finish mostly as scheduled.
Next week, we will be going in to an impromptu off-week. During this off-week, we will be taking inventory on exactly where we are and exactly how to move forward. This will also allow teams to reconfigure their rosters and make adjustments.
a) If you can play your games this week, we encourage you to do so, though we understand that this may be difficult.
b) If your team is not going to continue, we ask that you be courteous to the other teams that intend to finish the season and mark your team as inactive.

VRML is not going anywhere.
This organization started in 2017 with Onward, and has since expanded to several games, of which Echo Arena was just one. While this situation is not ideal, the upcoming closing of Echo is heartbreaking, VRML will continue on as it has for the last 6 years. We will update you all with more information next week once everyone has had time to digest this announcement. In the meantime, we will be mourning right along side you.
