Yesterday I wrote about the closure of metaverse There.com, which announced it was closing its doors after running out of money.

There was a fair bit said about Metaplace shutting down their virtual world over the New Year, but you know who else shut their doors?
Why, our lovely friends at Legend City Online have shut down their grid, and removed their website.

Ummm.. okay, maybe “CRY” was a bad example, but my point is that the new metaverses are going to have graphics and physics to a very high level of detail. Avatar Reality’s [...] -
Well I am suprised as it appears Legend City Online did break their silence and reply to blog posts made yesterday regarding the “ousting” of Simone Stern from their grid. They’re claiming that Simone had fallen behind on the tier payments which she had agreed to pay, and as a result her assets in world [...]

It only takes a single person to have left our website having laughed, smiled or thought about what's been written, and for us, that makes it worth it.
