Older forum

URW Forum - Quick access link to index page.

The previous forum for UnReal World were hosted externally, via TapaTalk. The forum closed down in May 2017, after the opening of the new version of the forums, but is archived.

As the original forum accumulated a lot of useful discussions over several years of its existence, particularly in topics like modding and the nascent modding scene of the UnReal World community, or the various development diaries and news, it is still very valuable for archive purposes.

Structure of the older forum

• Suggestions - Subforum for suggestions by players and fans.
• Bug Reports - Bug-reporting subforum.
• Gameplay questions - Advice subforum.
• Guides and tutorials - Guides and tutorials.
• Stories - Players sharing yarns from their playthroughs of the game.
• Off-topic - Various URW-unrelated discussions.
• Development News / Author's diary - The devs share info on what's new in the game's development.
• Announcements - Archive of announcements and reports.
