ICQ Shutting Down June 26th 2024

[sibble]

I know this isn't specific to UO but I also know that much of this community uses ICQ so just passing along the info ICQ will stop working from June 26 - they are suggesting people switch to VK.com | VK (a Russian social media and networking service, FYI)

Reach out to your contacts and reconnect with them on Discord Discord | Your Place to Talk and Hang Out

Wow, this is legit news... it's been kinda flaky for some time but the switch to Discord will have to happen

 

[Halister Marner]

Give yourself to the Discord side. It is the only way you can communicate with your friends. Yes, your thoughts betray you. Your feelings for them are strong.

 

[Lord Nabin]

Well that's a bummer.

*Rummages through an old chest full of dusty old scrolls and finds the one with the tag "Discord" and settles down for a read*

Funny you say that because to this day, I still remember my ICQ number from 20 years ago... friends and family phone #'s?? Nah those aren't nearly as useful! lol

 

[Cymidei]

I never used ICQ. I knew a lot of people talked about Trillian. I always used yahoo chat for any chatting I did back in the day.

I remember being sad as that was my 2nd number because my first, shorter number was hacked. Back in the day when you were a dealer/trader having a very short ICQ number was a small sign of legitimacy lol

 

[Poo]

sad thing is i still remember my icq number.
right off the top of my head and i haven't used it in years.

Same, I had a 5 digit one originally, but lost that somehow, my last ICQ was 2810308

 

[Avocado Kaiju]

That's a bummer. I met my wife via ICQ back in 99'.
