Verification notes

Shutdown: The displayed day marks a retrospective report, not the actual service cutoff. First availability, announcement day, actual cutoff day, hour and time zone remain unknown. Archive only the hosted Virtual Eternity service; avatars, tiers, models and the underlying IAP technology do not receive separate records. The 2010 source includes an actual avatar test and direct CEO email, supporting the AI voice and knowledge task. The closure article is readable in the web reader, while ordinary HTTP can resolve to a publisher homepage; access is labeled indexed-only. The identity asset is a registered operator-wordmark proxy from the USPTO drawing, not a recovered product emblem or stylized brand logo. Huntsville is a historical registrant business-city proxy, not a confirmed product-team office. The original page was inaccessible when checked. The official notice remains available in search indexes. Closure source
