It was great fun while it lasted- we can only hope that it will revive again in the near future. I vote the Flick'r team as having the best AFD bit on the web... And Again, the game is gone…

So sign in and then reload the game URL. I'm intrigued by the description and appreciate that this virtual world is urban/suburban rather than the typical fantasy land of most MMOs. There still seems to be an awful lot of grinding required, but I guess I should spend more time chatting with the others in the world to figure out how to advance faster. After playing it for 10 min, I'd say it's mildly entertaining so far. Don't see where it's particularly groundbreaking yet.

The beta was launched later in 2003. Flickr was launched December 2003 and mid-2004, GNE was shut down. What they've made live now is an instance of the prototype.
