For those of you who are unaware. ICQ will be shutting down on June 26.

ICQ has been around quite a long time - one of the oldest chat applications on the web. With UO being one of the oldest MMO's, its no surprise thise news will affect a large number of our player base. If you have anything saved on ICQ, old contacts, friends, posts, and so on - now is the time to get around to saving whatever you can.
