[game_preservation] Lost Server Connection

[Andrew Armstrong]

That video was quite touching. I never knew much about EA-Land/The Sims 
Online, imagine all the effort those people left creating their 
communities in the game all lost. Sucks because they can't even connect 
to just each other or anything through the game, it requires a dedicated 
server connection.

Do you know of any further worlds shutting down? I know many already 
have, just would be interesting to see further videos, not just of them 
shutting down of course though ;-) but that is an exceptionally less 
captured area.
