Monte Cristo have just announced that they Cities Unlimited will be renamed to Cities XL™. An important distinction between the Cities Unlimited and Cities XL names is that the latter has a ™ tacked to the back. Although no official explanation is given by MC, this may be an clue to the reasons behind the name change. Cities Unlimited is (as some of you may have found) also the name of a network hosting city guides to all cities in the US, and owner of the domain name www.citiesunlimited.com.

MC will make the name change official through a press release next week, but Simphoni will go ahead and rename its official Cities Unlimited forum to reflect the change to Cities XL. Hop on in, and let us know how you feel about the name change.
