Yes, because of the change in dynamics before the shutdown. Honestly, i'd say they're keeping Vegas World for monetary purposes only while sustaining their company and funding future projects such as OurWorld (revamped).

The webpage says, 'Someday we might be back with a bigger and better version.' perhaps the shutdown was so they could work on the game without the backlash, complaints, and drama from the OurWorld community. The shutdown was deceptive & unnecessary all they needed were staff (mods/admins who can monitor in game conduct), devs (people who know how to code etc.) and new features (there were many good suggestions in the forums). If they spontaneously re-opened OurWorld (with new features etc.), i'm sure it'd surpass Vegas World. Players practically begged FlowPlay to take their money or sell the game to someone who'll give them their money's worth. If they wanted more money they could've updated OurWorld's content (they could've done so much). Hard to say that they were money hungry when they dropped their biggest cash cow (OurWorld) for Vegas World. Hopefully, FlowPlay gets it together by bringing back OurWorld and shutting down Vegas World. If FlowPlay were smart, they would've expanded OurWorld by adding a casino, more locations, and a few more features. The reaction I received from mentioning OurWorld seemed very schizophrenic. Beware of speaking about OurWorld on Vegas World the slightest mention of the game will leave their players perplexed or furious. Not sure why they even have a chatroom on Vegas World players are always eerily silent at a party with 20+ people all they do is dance and say things like 'Hi!' 'Hugs' or 'Smiles!'. The only fun thing to do on Vegas World is playing BlackJack or Poker it's easy to make money on Vegas World (casino + 80% of their community are elderly creeps who'll splurge their coins on you.). How could FlowPlay choose this virtual retirement home (Vegas World) over OurWorld?. FlowPlay could have made way more profit on OurWorld, the community's far more interactive & globally mainstream.
