Ever been to There.com? There.com is a virtual world where you can hang out with friends, make new friends and enjoy many activities such as, racing, questing and playing card games.
There.com closed in March of 2010 due to what many heard to be decreased revenue due to tough economic times. There has since reopened the world to those who had accounts before a certain time. New members are soon to be accepted. There are just a few changes to the New There.com and those are that you now must be 18+ and pay a monthly subscription fee through PayPal of $10 a month.
Currently company owner Michael Wilson and his right hand man Samsyn are putting in long hours to get the world back up to par. During this process they take the time to post updates and reply to members in the forums of thumdar.com. Thumdar's forums are the best way to find out what is going on in There.com as well as Michael Wilson's Wordpress blog.
There has been quite a bit of drama in Thumdar's forums since world has opened to it only members. The complaining about the monthly subscription fee and selling tbux seems to be what gets people stirred up. The monthly subscription is understood by many as Michael Wilson shares what it costs to run the virtual world as well as where the money is going. Member's see how much the company earns each month and how much is needed to pay the bills. Michael Wilson wants his paying members to know exactly what it takes to run and pay for their services. Then we have those developers who make tbux by selling their in world designs who feel they should be allowed to sell their tbux at a discount to other members for cash. Michael and his team are all for creating a buy back type of program for those who want to sell their tbux back to There.com but at this moment that is not top priority and this has some developers angry.
