Scares Me Somewhat

The last time they shut down like this wasn't it because security had been comprimised and money stolen? It was masked as an upgrade, or if I recall correctly the upgrade and theft timed out convienently.

My only real beef with this (right now) is that there was no heads up. I imagine some people keep operating cash in their WSE account and would need it. Daytraders will also suffer. It would have been nice to have been alerted to the fact that WSE was shutting down at least 15 days before with a series of reminders. That's a pretty common thing when you care about your customers.

I agree Nobody. Seems a bit off to me too. To wake up and find a substantial service in the SL Economy is closed for a month with no previous notice is not right. It appears as though Luke knew this was going to happen for some time. However everything published by WSE makes it appear as though it was all planned. He could have at least alerted his CEOs before the shutdown.

Suprise! We've cut off access to your money for up to a month! This was all planned for your good and to improve your trading enviroment.
