    Whats this crap

    "Utonet will be shut down in about a month. Enjoy what has lasted for so long. | If you'd like to be a part of the Utopia Test Team, send an email to test@utopia-game.com or PM DavidC."

    So they are shutting down IRC completely then?? Is that what I am taking away from this?

    Utonet is seperate from Utopia the game. Patrick the owner has decided to shut it down cause he dont want to have the server up running anymore. There is discussions going on between Utopia and Patrick to see if there can be transfered over to Utopia. If the discussions has come to a conclusion yet I dont know.

    I'm fine the devs taking it over, so long as only Bishop gets mod access. He's the only one in the team I fully trust.

    IRC is outdated technology. It's time we caught up with the times and moved over MSN Messenger.

    It may be outdated, but a good amount of people still use it believe it or not. Whether it is for their KD or just for the social aspect of the game. To completely get rid of utonet will be detrimental to the game.

    @Bart - Bartus, I am even content with YOU running the server. Just as long it doesn't disappear for good!

    What do retarded? Would you provide a service for people that the don't even know for 13 years no questions asked? Besides it's his server he's free to do whatever he wants with it.

    as a vid game player..i try out alot of diff things for chat rooms and such. this one im currently using for various games..if irc option doesnt pan out is called discord. kinda cool..can make yourself a discord channel..invite those only you want in..its a chat room..but also it has voice channels within the chat room. i might try and see if my kd is interested..as i use it on phone and pc for following games on it. be mostly a kd based thing..but pretty sure you can set up..diff discord cahnnels for public things like irc did. i havent been on irc in a while so dont know how busy it is these days
    Who shot who in the what now?

    The unique thing about irc is that anyone can just join without an invitation or anything like that. Hoping that a solution can be found to keep utonet going. If it dies there is an empty #tactics channel on irc.chat4all.com server. Won't be quite the same because old players will have to find it and some just won't bother. But at least current players can switch to it if they want to diplo and such. To have 2 servers open you can /server -m irc.chat4all.com or once there /server -m irc.utonet.org

    If something like this is implemented though, it is just one step closer for turning this game into that game that starts with an M....which is exactly what this game is turning into... more hybrid strats...pay to win...and now a world chat? This game is going downhill and downhill very fast.

    Well i agree with dizzysky, Discord is a really nice option. Both text and voice options. Useable in browser and via app. I like it alot.

    discord is a p2p instead of host based. It lags the !@#$ outa people with rural internet and sounds like garbage when using voice and having 3-4 people talking at once.
