Oh give me a break on this one.. !! When cable companies decide to
change their rates it's usually for a very good deal and if not they at
least tell you about it far enough in advance or do it gradually !! this
was sprung on a group of people who without them .. this program of
entertainment you so called it.. would be non -existant to begin with..
and let me remind you about the substantual amount they are raising it..
i mean i am pretty sure any person who has been in AW for a while and
who knows it's value would agree with a pay increase.. but to more then
triple it's price in a matter of a week is something totally diffrent..
.. i imagine you have plenty of money and don't mind staying in a place
that for a short time while people are letting their cit's and world
time's run out.. suddenly in the position of looking at what they've
worked sooo hard for .. knowing that it will all soon be gone..because
they can't afford it.. i am one of them! nice loyalty we've all been
shown with this abrupt new year upgrade! Save AW is pretty funn when
so many people i'm sorry more then so many people will leave and AW will
ceast to exsist.. within a matter of a year.. when most worlds are up
and cit's are done.. Happy Freakin New Year .. and thanks for the
memories.. that's about all we are getting...
