This game will be 20 years old in March and is in desperate need of a modern update

It'll be 20 years since 2004 yet the site is stuck in 2004. They development team if they're even active anymore needs to fix it desperately. The forums are outdated and old, Shady and the false accusation system is broken, a lot of stuff needs to be updated. Yet the dev team has disappeared.

There is no development team. The last one ran off and left us with pets that will become sick no matter what.

AFAIK the admin who owns the game keeps it open out of nostalgia and as long as it's breakeven it may continue. But unless there will be a tidal wave of new subscribers don't expect anything.

That's sad. I dabble in and out, but would love it if the game comes back. The Community and Agency Sites are gone now also :(

Yes, i'd like that too. Shaded Legends is perhaps the only one of Agency sites, that's still up.

I just started Noir. I LOVED the Shades game and felt nostalgic. Fired this up today and the game is currently unplayable :( Logs me out when I try analyzing evidence. I was excited to get back into it too.

I was about to make this post. I am a dev/sysadmin/otherstuff and I love this game. I've been playing it on and off for years. I'd be happy to volunteer time and skills (Grad student so no money). If there's still an interest maybe we can revive it? This does not look like it's resource heavy or intensive so we should be able to keep it working with minimal costs.

What exactly are you expecting Ramon-Miguel? What needs fixed? What is outdated?

I've recently returned due to nostalgia (I do this every few years) and I'm glad the game is still running. Admin made it clear years ago that the game would never be able t generate the income needed to be anything more than a hobby.

I had a ton of fun back in the day and have made some very good friends through this game, some that I still talk to all these years later.

Gave up hope for changes but was hoping that they would acknowledge the 20th anniversary of the game in some way, shape, or form.
