Tonight all of There.com avatars en masse went to pixel heaven. At least that is apparent from comment Jeffrey Ventrelli the farewell post Celia Pearce, the author Communities of Play - book written on the basis of studies carried out in the world no longer exists (which thus suddenly made her position have less anthropological and more historical). A little scary and quite sad.
There.com appeared in the online in 2003, before Second Life, and the first to shed its users a clear day package with przebieralnym, customizable to your needs an avatar and interactive environment. In a word, everything that is now "in take for granted."
In an official speech Michael Wilson, CEO of the platform, you can read that the direct reason for the closure was There.com economic crisis, whose impact is not mitigated even zdoły programmers pocących increased efforts by the last quarter was extremely abundant in improving the environment and facilitating the first contact the newly signed .

Finally, given the economic crisis of the reason for failure of many projects, including - let him mention my favorite - Lively by Google. While it was clear then, that's an excuse, it sounds pretty likely. However, pounding me in the back of the head think small - as far as significant for There.com were refugees from Uru?
need to remember that There.com has become a new haven homeless after the closure of a large community Myst Online well-educated, well-off fans of logic puzzles. Their arrival sparked enthusiastic reactions not residents of the platform, either because they thought There'owych adapt to the customs, the only alive Myst wanted to move from memories and play his game on. Platform owners miscalculated dollars and then quickly came to the conclusion that these new more valuable unrivaled. They built them to the island in the middle of the ocean and watched carefully, so nobody will bother paying regular, reliable and responsible Uruwianom, because they kept the entire business.
In early February on Myst Online appeared a short note printed scribbles: URU LIVE AGAIN. Can I join too quick facts, but it seems to me that if this group of significant financial and dreamed about returning home, There.com have to feel it painfully.
Anyway, the closure of There.com is a very important moment in the history of digital worlds and the hole after mnim will not inconsiderable. Maybe Second Life will benefit, gaining new users, but somehow I'm very sorry for them. The devil take the scenery, but after they lost their avatars.
