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

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
