Much like when MMOs go offline, when a virtual world goes offline, we also see a number of displaced residents wondering what to do next. Thankfully, in this case, our contributor had his next destination all mapped out ahead of time.
This image comes to us from Alan C., and was taken in the final hours of There.com, which recently shut down after being in service for seven years. He writes in to explain this flight: It was the last couple hours before There.com closed. Using my last ThereBucks I purchased a gold and black Trek outfit and a Tiki Trek flying shuttle. I met a fellow trekker and we flew for the last time in There. Just like the bumper sticker says, I am "Boldly Going Forward". I am now playing Star Trek Online and not looking back.
Do you have a screenshot from a game that shut down -- gone, but not forgotten? We'd love to see it, if you'd like to share. Of course, if your favorite MMO is alive and well, those are welcome too! Just email those in to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a brief description of what we're seeing. We'll post it out here on Massively for everyone to enjoy and give you the credit!

Why does Massively only report on certain games after they are closing. There.com has been around for years but Massively never seemed to say anything about it. CitiesXL, MxO.. none of these games were covered as much as the "usual" games Massively covers.
