  CyberTown - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Before the merge of ColonyCity and CyberTown, ColonyCity had a massive unemployment problem which neared 90% of users unemployed, making the main purpose people came to ColonyCity was to interact with the other users.
At the time CyberTown was mainly a portal site with categories of links, however ColonyCity was able to use the ideas from the categories to make 3D worlds and expand CyberTown.
Also the City Council, the highest authority of CyberTown, was accused of improper management and censoring of the citizens, leading into a civil war of sorts.

Answer: If you value the Cybertown experience and realize that there are considerable real life expenses involved in making it available to you, then you can probably see the reason to charge for it.
IVN has a lot of respect for the way Cybertown is managed and does not see a need to interfere in the way it is managed.
