Federation 2 ran continuously for 30 years

Federation 2 was launched in January 1986 on the UK Compunet network and was the first online game in the world to be written as a commercial game. It was the first non-RPG/Adventure online game, and was the oldest continuously available online game. It closed after 30 years on October 1, 2018.
