Lego universe is dead

Here is the mai sent by Lego to all the customers and beta testers:

Hello Adventurer, today we are very sad to announce that LEGO® Universe will be closing on January 31, 2012. This was a very difficult decision to make, but unfortunately LEGO Universe has not been able to attract the number of members needed to keep the game open. 

It's a bad news, the game failed to create the critical mass necessary to survive in a scene where other big players are dominating, see WOW for example.

I hope that the Lego team will step back on its decision...
