Some day in the not so distant Future:

Weekly Server Maintenance on (Month) (Day)

We will be performing our weekly server maintenance from 2:00am to 4:00am EDT (GMT-4) on (Month) (Day). As a result the server will be shut down for approximately two hours.

The rewards for (Event1), (Event2), Credits Auction and Credit Mall(last week) will be charged to the winners' accounts. Make sure you have enough available slots in your backpack before the maintenance begins.

Around 4am GMT-4 on the Date (Shortened Version):

We regrettfully inform you that the company that holds the licensing agreement has not agreed to extend our contract. So as per our contractual agreement with them we have to shutdown the Wonderland Online Servers.

We have thoroughly enjoyed your patronage playing this game and hope that in the future you will try our other games.

If you are a current VIP bound account to Wonderland Online we will like to extend you an opportunity to transfer your VIP membership to another game. Please contact VIP Live Support to get this process started.

Sincerly,
WLO Team

This is how you will learn that WLo has shut down. As stated in the User Agreement they can terminate service to you at any time for any reason. They are not obligated to continue to provide this game to you for any reason whatsoever.

Not that this is a good way to do it. Most will probally think it is a horrible way. But if they give notice even for 1 week in advance they will suffer major profit losses from the game. So they will not release this information to the end user until the event actually happens.

If you look at what happened to the other WLo. It was sorta a test run to see what would happen. Would people play until the bitter end or would they mass migrate away from the game. In this case they mass migrated away from the game. So for us other WLo players, We will not get the notice that it is shutting down until it is shut down. This way they maintain profit up to even the day it closes.

Sorry if I sound rough on this but I work in business and know how management on the top thinks. It is always about what is best for the company and the bottom line.
