This press release on BarrysWorld announces the closing of the UK based gaming service that provides servers for clans and leagues throughout Europe, a dial-up gaming ISP, hosting for gaming sites, and other gaming news and content. Founded in 1998 as a game server run by volunteers, and despite initial funding last April, the service has been unable to raise additional funds to continue operations, and decided to voluntarily liquidate the company by February 5, with services to cease around January 31. Additional background information is available in this personal statement by content director Ben Lawton, who also makes a call for last minute rescue offers.
