UnrealIRCd is an IRC daemon forked from EliteIRCd[1] (which is a Dreamforge fork) written in C and released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL). UnrealIRCd is very popular amongst small networks and less experienced users and out of those networks indexed by SearchIRC, it ranks #1 in servers using it.

Development of UnrealIRCd began around May 1999, but by today, development got a bit stale and saw many developers quitting[2][3] while plans for a new release that is more than a bug fix release are often changing.[4][5]

UnrealIRCd is commonly used alongside the Anope services package, although UnrealIRCd is supported of a wide range of other services, such as Atheme and IRC Services. UnrealIRCd can also be used with the extended services Denora and NeoStats which will both provide statistics for the IRC server.

December 2010, UnrealIRCd released a release candidate for UnrealIRCd 3.2.9<[6]

Supported Extended Services
