Well, there goes another piece of gaming history.
UK digital laws all appear to be thought up to inflict maximum harm on smaller projects, oh and to strip away privacy.
Core memory unlocked. I think I played this for a very short time back in the 2000’s.
why not just move server to a US based one and not lose everything?
this doesn’t have to be the end. its a text based mmo, from what I understand.
I’m not sure that it’s the physical location of a server that’s the germane issue – if it were, most law related to Internet services would be easy to ignore, since there’s always somewhere else in the world. Rather, I’d bet that the law applies to businesses doing business with consumers in the UK.

In 2023, the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed the Online Safety Act. By 2025 Davis found it unfeasible to implement the stricter age verification and child-protection measures called for in the act. At the beginning of February, Davis announced the site would shut down February 14.[1][2][3]
man. this law is going to kill more than its going to protect. thanks for the response.
That’s what happens when you design laws around the shit mega corporations do instead of categorizing and regulating that directly.
Urban Dead is being shutdown by a law clearly intended to target websites like Facebook.
No way, these ‘think of the children’ type bullshit laws are always about hurting the smaller guys. If it wasn’t they wouldn’t need to couche it in crappy parenting.
Thats a name i haven’t heard in a while, i thought it would have been dropped years ago.
