Welcome to the Escaropen website

Escaropen is a recent service that was forked from Escargot designed to have a up-to-date source-code that makes old versions of Windows Live Messenger, and potentially more.

But why?

Why not? MSN messenger was once Microsoft's main messaging service and social network platform before all the social media platforms like Discord, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or twitter. After Microsoft bought Skype in 2012 and though owning two seperate chat services was redundant, they shutdown MSN messenger despite its popularity.

So, why not restore something that helps people communicate, meet new people and just have fun?

But how?

With the help of the Escargot source-code (which isn't being updated anymore and now is closed-source), we (the Escaropen team) are working on a replacement service for the now-shutdown MSN Messenger and Windows Live Messenger in addition to some other fun Windows Live features.

What now?
