Urban is a Web Based Evolving Multiplayer Online Game. Based in a fictional continent yet to be named it's built around several major cities. Urban focuses around the underbelly of the cities, the underground cultures of gangs, thugs and gang warfare.

The environment is tough and it's all about survival as you go about your daily life. The game is built on choices and decisions that will shape character and direction as well as focus. Objectives and goals become apparent as you progress into this society of thieves, gangsters and thugs.

There are opportunities that will always arise for you to take up however urban is essentially about building a community and working towards common and personal goals, overcoming challenges and surviving against the odds of corrupt government and high end society types that don't think much of you.

Urban RPG started off back in December 2001 as a project, a small one. A Game developer known only to the player base as Yuckfou launched a game with the goal and idea of being different from the others out there. A platform and game design that could adapt and grow, the possibilities and potential to take this game in any direction was built from the start and always part of the initial concept. With a blank canvas the game was built in it's first iteration and adapted, as time went by the game grew and so did the features that were added.

Like all projects and games that start expanding quite quickly in terms of size and complexity the game started to hit minor issues such as server capacity and bandwidth, players found the game more and more addictive and started bringing more people in. At this time a development team was formed and more than on person started working on the games overall structure and design planning for the future and building stability into the game's foundation. With that the game was redesigned and relaunched with an improved navigational structure and a direction for the game started to take shape.

Urban has had more than 100,000 unique accounts log into it in it's 6 year history, despite problems for a while with the game and it's upkeep a new development team has been formed under the Random Ramble company with the skills to start developing and carrying Urban into the future.

Urban's Future holds a lot of potential as several major projects are currently underway to take Urban to the next version. We started a project to rewrite the core of the game to improve functionality expandability and efficiency of code. With this in mind there are lots of new changes and features to both the game features and it's overall appearance planned over the coming months.

Urban has had it's codebase split into 2 versions, the original version is currently running alongside the new optimized codebase which is being modified and tested at present. With this in mind we've took the task of building a next generation experience into the game. The way the game is structured is undergoing bigger changes and new functionality will be implemented to bring the game together in a more consistent manner.

Building on new technologies we're adding new code to the game that will make the game more intuitive to use, as this is a browser based game we're working on new experiences including the use of AJAX code to streamline processes and code and build a better environment.
