> I was surprised that there is still an active community around UO!

If it was an MMO, or online, there's private server communities for it endlessly.

I forget the name of the game, maybe it was City of Heroes? It was shutdown for years, and then boop, someone popped up a Private Server years later.

Heck, and I've mentioned it before, the Shockwave Online games of old have some niche communities rebuilding the servers, building Shockwave runtimes and decompilers, and they overlap between games since they find themselves trying to solve similar problems. ;)

Yes! Can confirm am in a Discord server for Farmville, called Farmville Replowed. A community member has also forked it and added updates, though he changed the database schema so it has been pr'd, and released a Electron client with Flash bundled, Windows, Linux, and Mac are supported.
