AW can't close down other universes because their website states (and has
stated): "All Uniserver prices are a one-time fee." Once a universe owner buys a universe, he or she has the universe for life. A fee is only required for upgrades to the next version of the AW browser. Thus, it would be illegal for AW to shut down universes without cause. Besides, I find it highly unusual that AW would suddenly close all the universes on a Sunday of all days when they are in such financial trouble because of employees' salaries as it is. Earlier today, the Active worlds universe shut down for about 2 minutes for some reason - it's probably just network problems :) [View Quote] Thank you.
