Bullshit, in what other game you had a completely 3D open world where you could get into buildings, climb, swim, talk to NPCs with routines and with an orchestral soundtrack?

I remember hearing a story it had to be closed down due to its open enrollment eventually opening the way for publishers like EA to gain the evidence needed to start litigation. It had to take the old ways internally and one would have to beg and perform favors to gain the trust for access to the brown version of the site. Last I heard they took that down too due to it getting too close to the sun again, there are less protections for such places these days.

It is unsubstantiated, just what I heard or read somewhere. At this point it's just be conjecture, but such large torrent sites would find difficulty in legal proceedings so it is plausible. It is the same reason why I came to my senses about dumping some old data, as I do not have the financial means to deal with litigation.
