Body: <p>About a year ago I stumbled on <a href="http://arena.myfide.net" rel="noreferrer">arena.myfide.net</a> which looked promising , and unique in the ability to get an actual Fide rating. But in that year no progress has been made with the site, and mobile support continues to say "coming soon". Is this site dead? Or are they just really taking their time with it?</p>

Comments.Text: Almost two years later, the site still seems to be in the same shape as before - limited functionality, very small user base, and paid membership for non-basic features. For untitled players it's a good way to obtain (buy) "official" FIDE titles like Arena International Master (AIM), and for FIDE it's a source of extra revenue. If you're looking to play chess online seriously though, sites like lichess and Chess.com offer much better value (both free and paid).

Comments.Text: I agree, although I have a quick comment - chess.com is more of a freemium site.
