.... I can't think of anyone who's posting here who won't be coming back
after their cit expires. All they're complaining about is the quote unquote
600 percent price increase, which happens to be about $9.50 a month. Tell
me, which number sounds worse? You hear 600 a lot more than 9.50. :)
Back to my original point.. on renewing at those prices, only a few can't
afford it vs. the implied vast majority who can't. The rest are complaining
because they don't want to pay. They can, but they don't want to. As Moria
said, there is a precedent for this move, and history tends to repeat
itself. :)

Let me guess, you're trying to run it at 120 m vis on a 386 with 32 MB of
RAM in DirectX mode, right? =P If you can get to the options screen, turn
DirectX mode off and use software mode instead.

I am troubled by this... So what you're saying is that NAC builds, 2-week
citizen builds, and objects built with accounts that expire after Jan 2.
2002 and from here on out will be deleted? This is what I understand, and
if I'm wrong, please correct me and disregard below.
What happens to cities, such as SW City if all of the sudden builds
disappear and there are empty holes in their lots? Hell, what happens if
one of our core members leave and a fourth of the city is all of the sudden
gone?
I would like citizen builds to not be touched, period. But if that can't
happen and we have to compromise, then I think that some of us who want our
builds preserved after our account expires should be able to opt into an AW
Historic Builds program, whether it be by paying a reasonable price (a
one-time fee of less than $60) or by just by sending an application to a
review committee.

Sorry for jumping the gun. It was the way you worded that "75 square
