Thanks for all the love, everyone!! EDIT: I've now made a follow to this video that clarifies a couple big mistakes I made, as well as showing some new additions that you guys suggested! If you notice any big mistakes in here, please check out my Community Notes video, as I've likely already corrected it there! th-cam.com/video/xS0r8knNSI4/w-d-xo.html
I miss the life-like restrictions, to have to wait for the bus or the trailers being restricted to regions. Now the ferry has no use and no one goes to the mall anymore :( it's weird how they make very grindy features but remove all organic challenge or need to explore.
35:00 ah yes the purple car, i have a vivid memory of me and a bunch of other players marching through that area single file, only for it to hit everyone and cause a ripple effect
Its always so funny how BIG yet how underground this game is if you don't go looking for it. I was horse obsessed, had a huge collection of horse games but I didn't hear about this game till 2019.
Yeah, it was! the two characters were also named Tristan and Isolde, wich is a very cool easter egg, considering that "Tristan und Isolde" is a real life romance novel! (I remember reading it for school and raging about how every character was stupid lmao)
12:58 The player actually used to have a health bar as well and the only way i found you could damage it (or at least, as a non-star rider with too much time on my hands) was by standing on foot in the way of the car that rode through the area between Jarl's tomb, and Steve's. The player health to my knowledge did not regenerate so if you stood there for long enough, eventually it would run out. The screen still only sent you to home stable though.
But it would have been hilarious if it just took you to Doyle’s Abbey (when it used to be a graveyard lol) and said ‘Aideen has resurrected you!’ or something lmao
50:50 the justin moorland player thing is most definitely real! Kitti spiderweb mentions it in her video "forgotten star stable things" (at least i think it's that video?). She shows footage of it and explains that the player justin moorland was actually an sso employee running a social experiment to see how the community would react to interactable things like this!
47:51, in Swedish the letter ”I” is pronounced similar to the letter ”E” in English which might be why its spelled ”Wiiii”. It makes sense in Swedish and is pronounced the same as ”Weeee”.
A few things I just wanted to add - The music that is heard when you are near a fridge door, that is the Starshine Legacy's Dark Core theme. - I think the road extra speed has been removed, and instead of that "faster gallop" has been added as a gait - I always thought the purple car was Jarlaheims major(?) - as there was a quest taking a trailer to the Riding Hall..so I always thought the race was a nod to that
The deepest tier lacks a server where, when someone moved, the account was reset to start and all the star coins that had been earned/bought/spent were collected back and you had a lvl 1 account with tens of thousands of star coins. This happened at the beginning of the server's existence and then I don't know what happened to it
I was actually offered this I believe in 2015. When I moved from the US to New Zealand and asked to shift over server regions (different to just changing servers), they said it wasn't possible to retain all of my progress and horses if i chose to move to the NZ server region. I chose not to of course, and with the time difference played during the night (in game) for many years. When the ability to change the time of day arrived in game I cried!
I'm so happy others call them "fridge doors" as well! I'm not on an english speaking server so the community doesn't call them that here but I'd always call them fridge doors.
this is the most well-planned and enjoyable starstable video ive watched and ive not even finished it… and this is a 15 subscriber channel. wow edit: WHAT IS THAT THING AT THE END??? HUH??
Hahaha thank you so much! The thing at the end is an Usiku. It was part of the Halloween questline that was in the game before Galloper’s Keep was added. You helped a strange little girl in Golden Hills before she revealed herself to be that creature.
@@ΔεαΚ I know! what I meant by that was such a high quality of content deserves a lot more subscriptions. Luckily it looks like this video gained a lot of traction for them :D
I can actually explain the white fence thing on paddock island. It's something I figured out myself overtime! I don't know if this is still a thing in game, I haven't really noticed it lately, but there was a time back in the day where if you rode near any NPC with a quest or just anything you could interact with, the game wouldn't let you jump. Since there is an NPC girl standing by the fence, that is what would prevent you from jumping it. Here's the interesting part though: The NPC girl only has a daily quest available on Fridays, so if you do the race on any other day of the week, you can jump the fence no problem! I used to train a lot back then, so eventually I learned to avoid the jump on Fridays 😆
For dolly the sheep, I am 99% sure that the Dolly you see in Jarlaheim is actually a clone of another sheep- Dolly. Well, the second (or the first) dolly is found under the cliff where Mika lands with her balloon... There was also a quest about that one specific sheep and many people theorised it was because of the cloning experiment... Well, I guess SSO went with it and actually cloned Dolly and moved her to Jarlaheim !
I am not sure if the quest is still in-game, but It was given by a girl in that area with pigtails, where she was looking for her sheep or something. It's one of the oldest quests in the game, as I remember playing it years and years ago with gen1 horses
Just checked, yep, I was right... the sheep is still there, and it's the only sheep in that area! Well, it doesn't have any name above it's head but I'm sure it's named Dolly- there were theories about it aftterall back in 2014 or so, regarding the name and if it was a namesake after the original cloned sheep!
54:05 i always thought the sound when logging in, was the magical horses that transformed into their magical coat because it was the same sound and i didnt have that sound before i had a magical horse.
also, before, that sound used to depend on the person! for example, my friend had the sound of doing the dailys while making the greendale bridge, meanwhile i had the one talked about it the video 😄 this was 7/8 years ago, i still hear the same sound while logging in, but idk about the other one
23:34 I remember a few years ago someone had "Discovered" bread island, it was one of the islands in the sunset isles thing by New Hillcrest stables. It was one of the islands you couldn't naturally get to without either bugging out your horses jump or plain glitching too it. I don't remember who discovered it or exactly when but I remember 2018 me attempting to reach it multiple times. Might not remember it correctly though ^^; Also the amount of memories this brought up is amazing! I almost forgot entirely about the salon music! I started the game in 2015 so I adored this trip down memory lane
It was a great game back in 2011-2017! My whole childhood basically 😂 now it’s just about money (the old team quit working for SSO and it went downhill from there)
This was INCREDIBLE. I was praying that someone would make an SSO iceberg video!! :D It was so well formatted, so well written, and absolutely deserves more attention :)
I always thought the heart in the Cape West sand was from the two pirate/smugglers in the cave nearby. The Paddock Island fence is also only jumpable if the kid doesn't have a daily quest. If he does for the day, you can't jump over him for some reason.
Ahh yeah I thought that maybe the quest was the reason for the unjumpable fence but I also thought it could’ve been the model update for the fence itself, I wasn’t sure lol :P thank you for your insight!
There is another hidden "emote" along with /gestures, called /brb. It has no animation, but it will show in chat to nearby players and say "[Player] will be right back!". Also the popular "dressage" originated on the European servers and was called that because Phil the filter didn't recognize the word "Quadrille" and it wasn't permitted in chat back then. So players would advertise it as just dressage for ease of conversation. There were other nitpicky stuff I could point out too, but those I felt were the most important. Lovely video, bringed me good nostalgia and memories, keep it up!
Wow this kind of just blew my mind, I had no idea about sso “dressage” actually being quadrille. I had to look up that term and I was amazed because that’s exactly what it is! All this time I just assumed the sso community was just doing the closest thing to dressage they could while throwing in some random moves and making it a group thing. Thanks for elaborating on that!
53:17 this is one of my favourite facts. the swiss flag is due to the geneva convention! It prohibits any display of the red cross that isn’t truly a mecial center (or similar) in real life. So in many games, anything to do with medicine which would generally be marked with the red cross, has its colours either changed OR inverted, which then ends up looking like the swiss flag. in this instance i assume the dog is supposed to resemble an avalanche-dog of sorts, hence the cross.
the seals (and pigs) are actually coming back super soon, for a limited time with the discounted horse bazaar! also bruce (that’s what i named the shark) is still around! i also remember the rumor that the dinosaur is actually a dragon, i don’t know if it’s true (i doubt it is).
such an interesting and well-made first video! I especially loved all the nostalgic fun facts and seeing how far the game has come 12:30 i'm pretty sure there's still horse health, it's just invisible now, since I get send back to my home stable once every blue moon. Most noticable in poorly programmed areas like the winter village, where you can easily glitch through the floor. 26:45 Are you sure the dogs were the first running pet? I thought it was a squirrel, maybe the one with the blue christmas sweater? But I'm not sure anymore. Fun fact about Jojo Siwa, her model and all the objects she came with are still in the game files for some reason 27:30 You're right, If I remember correctly SSO gave us a bunch of options we could combine to make a magical horse design and if you uploaded a picture of it onto instagram you had a chance to have "your design" chosen. So technically there was a limited amount of possible combinations and I'm sure they were all suggested multiple times by the end. Unfortunately I don't remember how we created the designs, since I'm pretty sure you did not have to draw or edit anything yourself. 32:00 Now you can get into locked goldenhills through halloween activities, unlock the ferry, and go there without problems or cheat warnings. Love how they made it easier to break in :D 33:20 some of the pigs being readded for a short time is true, I think it was during a bazaar
THE SQUIRRELS ahh I completely forgot about those, you’re right they were the first running pet. Oops lol! Thank you so much for your extra insight, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm sure the first pigs were actually retired during the 10th bday or something like that, but they had to retire the rest because some of the piggies snuck out of the shop lol. They have appeared again at the bazaar, as you said, but they appeared before and that was their intended retirement day. They retired the seals as well and that was at the bazaar too if I'm not mistaken.
Re: 2:00, When I saw Pandoria, I didn't think "Pandora" as in Avatar, I thought "Pandora" as in the Greek mythological figure with the box. ...And I'd guess that Avatar was referencing the same thing. It seems like a pretty sensible thing to reference in both cases, evoking the idea of something that is possibly dangerous, but still compelling to explore, y'know?
I have two little things that you missed in the video :D 1) Old UI - the minimap has a different place now, and there were icons around it that are now in another corner; some buttons are new 2) no global shop - if you were looking for a specific clothing/tack item (f.e. to buy a club outfit), you had to go to that specific shop. And the database was much more needed back then, because without it was so difficult to get an overview which items were available
My mystery is the original game textures. An employee accidentally revealed to me through an angry comment that they were licensed assets, not created for the Star stable brand, and now I’m on the hunt to find the asset license and buy it for myself LOL
I also know the names of every single major original employee of pixel tales and hidden dinosaur/ hidden entertainment (for the reasons of asking questions, not for creepy reasons, LOL). I also have the files for early 2015 star stable. Still looking for early 2011-2014 star stable.
I haven't played sso in ages, but I wanted to watch this for nostalgia. I started playing in dec 2014, so I remember the old things here :) There are a few things I maybe would have added (I haven't seen any other sso icebergs, so maybe you left them out on purpose) Maya used to be named May, I have no idea why they changed her name. You could only own one hairstyle/makeup look at a time. If you had hair A, bought hair B and after a while wanted to go back to hair A, you would have to pay for hair A again. There was a glitch that made you go SUPER fast. It was so fun! I did use it in a race once ehe. Fort pinta used to be run by a literal kid, he looks a bit older now right? Also the shark there could bite you if you fell in the water on it and you would be sent home. Ferdinand's horse marked used to travel around. (I can't remember if you mentioned this or not, sorry if you did) Steve's place and the village looks so different now, I can't remember if the clock in the village actually worked or not. Since I haven't played in a long time I don't know what's still in the game, so maybe there are some other things as well. But this was really good! (Also I feel like I remember the crying from the castle as well)
I used to play sso a looot. Someone in my class played this game, and ever since I saw it, I fell in love with the game. I started playing in 2017/2018. I made soo many memories playing it and made a lot of good friends back in that time. This game helped me so much during that time,it was all I couldn't have irl. Just played it again after not playing for about a year or so. This reminded me of many features which now are just missing. When I logged back in,last week, I just started crying when hearing that some songs and noises were still in game. It felt very nostalgic. TYSM for explaining the SSO Iceberg, it refreshed my mind! If you finish reading this, here's a short message: Stay healthy and safe! Fun fact: I found other people who played sso irl(other then that friend who introduced me to sso).it was very nice talking about the game with people I know in real life.
Fun fact! The salon music is actually available on Spotify!! The song is called ”If Ever” and is released by Star Stable themselves and is sung by Lana TB. The Leaker. The song was released in 2004 though which is interesting since SSO wasn’t released until 2012.
I stopped playing this game ages ago and this video was a super fun reminder of it! I remember when back in 2017 I asked my brother to buy me SC cuz I wanted the seal, can't believe it was the last time they showed up
I am SO glad you brought up Archie!!! He will forever be my favourite game master. I will always laugh at his joke when he was mispronouncing information about the shire LOL!! He was such a great asset to the company. Thank you for this video!!! ❤❤
I used to play starstable a LOT as a child (2014-2018) and i just wanna say I adore this video, the amount of nostalgia oh my gooood. You reminded me of soo much stuff that was deeply hidden within my memory😭😭🫶 also coming back to find out Ydris turned into a tumblr sexy man is WILD lol i always used to think hes just a random mysterious dude pre makeover. Also i can confirm the Linda crying noises from the castle was real!!! At first i didnt know what you were talking about but when you played the clip i vividly remembered how i was standing around in front if the castle trying to figure out how to free her because her crying made me so sad. Good times
Yes the first magic horses were done with a bunch of options that you could choose and mix together through a link! Also I get kinda sad with all the mysteries like the witch or the vent/drains etc, as I feel like we’ll never get to know what they are since they have changed the story a lot. Another, yes I think I remember the horse being a 1000sc as I remember thinking how strange that was
This made me so happy. I remembered EVERYTHING mentioned and it made me love Star Stable almost all over again. Thankyou for your work!!❤ would looooove to see more content like this
What an awesome video going back the memory lane- loved how much you were able to cover!!! Firstly though- I want to add that they have removed the grind with closing pandorian rifts, super big bummer! I want to confirm that yes, the first 3 magic ponies were designed by the player base! It was run on Instagram where we had to like pictures with features we liked. Can also confirm that the pigs did have a small comeback in 2023- had forgotten about it but found out now since they are being discontinued, because I somehow had one on my 2nd account when I went to check. xD The chat heart being with alt + 9 sounds I've never heard of before! For me it has always been shift + 3/4, can't exactly remember the number. But yes, this seems to have been disabled, unsure when though! AH the amazing Star Stable Randomness, all those videoes were the golden era of SSO... XD THEY CHANGED THE CHAMPIONSHIP SYSTEM?! I thought it was still a thing to remove your tack, I've just grown too lazy to do it, welp- good to know that is no longer a thing. XD Star Stable Run, I remember hearing about it and being so excited, it would have been so great. :') Is it weird I miss the zone trailers??? I didn't know we actually managed to save fred ahhh, that is so cool! :') Didn't know they had TV commercials either, I heard of it through school and website ads >-< I am honestly amazed at both how much I remember but also the few things I forgot or didn’t even notice! Magic horses had less speed?! I also had no clue that the GED office actually had files!
I love that you included the old and new looks of each place, like Steve's and the Baroness' race track! Also fun fact, idk if anyone else did it, but when only star riders could jump, it was my way of quick greeting other riders :D Like I saw someone galloping gowards me and I'd jump, showing her I was a star rider :]
There was actually a horse that did cost more than 1000 sc other than the friesians! :) The white gen 1 fjord horse. I believe it's price was like 1425, while other fjords only costed 780 sc. ^^
At the 25 minute mark when you're talking about time, I just got back into the game and was doing a quest. There's someone who's come to the island and they say they're here for the summer camp and one of your responses is something like "Was that what I came for too?" Or "I remember something like that!" It was pretty funny to include actually lol I've been playing since 2012 so it's wild to watch your video and be constantly going "Awh! I remember that!!" Or "Ugh, I remember that.." 😂 Fantastic video so far!
I originally put this video on as some background noise while drawing, but I literally couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. I absolutely loved this video, pls make more icebergs!!!!
id like to add the saddest glitch removal of all time: the fogless dino valley. you used to be able to remove the fog from dino valley by going to the riding hall, dismounting your horse and leaving it there and going to the valley by foot (took like 10 min). When you entered the Elevator down the fog in dino valley would be completely gone. This was like the most popular glitch in the editing community and i will truly never understand why they removed it.....
i used to play this when i was about 13.... and only played for a week at times because i didn't have money to be premium so i created 505949348 different accounts to enjoy the free stuff 😭 so ya girlie had no idea there was so much lore about it. great video BTW!!! 💞
I have been playing sso since i was 6. Now 17. and hardly playing anymore. Like most people i dont like what ssop turned into. however, i LOVE this video! this is so nostalgic. most of these thing i have had been forgetting, thanks for making me remember
You totally forgot the scariest bug of all, the face popping up on the loading screen like a jump scare. It’s been fixed but seeing that before pulling an all nighter is terrifying.
1. I just realized. 'Techno' is a genre of music just like 'Disco' is. They chose to name 'Techno' after a genre of music too, to have him fit in with 'Disco'. 2. Yeah, the login bling sound was definitely real. I experienced it countless times. It's probably gotten caught on several of my SSO videos, I don't remember which ones though. 3. Someone on Eleanor Nightwalker's Discord server said that the music that plays in SSO's salons comes from Lisa's/Kyomi's/Brittany's rooms in Star Academy. I've seen footage of Lisa's and Kyomi's rooms though, and the music doesn't match. But, to counter my counter, I can't find footage of a Britanny playthrough anywhere on TH-cam. So, maybe it is from Britanny's room.
re the “You have taken a dangerous fall”, recently I’ve randomly been getting sent back to my home stable with the “It looks worse than it is. We’ll have your horse back on its hooves in no time!” message! super random lol
I have been playing since 2013 Winter, and your video brought back so much memory, and I also learned some new information, like the first location of Fred! Shout-out for Birdie, there was a time I visited her just because I wasn't sure if she was there all the time. :D
56:09 The song is called "if ever" and the track was actually found and you can find it in Google drive! I can't confirm anything but apparently it's an old demo song sso somehow managed to get their hands on.
Sorry for like the 8 thousandth comment, but anyone else remember the graphics update that was quickly phased out after a year or two? It added ‘realistic’ shadows to everything (including houses, and trees), but apparently it was too graphic intensive so it was removed and replaced with horse-only shadows. It was around 2014-2016
yes i remember the justin moorland player!! i remember in our community there was a rumor spreading that its a hacker and that you should block him, since you actually could block justin moorland ingame. i think i still have him blocked lmao
13:28 SSO dressage is actually a real thing, Its called Quadrille dressage where many people are doing the exact moves as in sso. + In Starshine legacy while playing Anne, this type of dressage was there, where you had to do a curl, fate, curl over ext. Ive seen many people say that it was sso players that invented this form of dressage even though it was in the originals, and its an actual dressage form💕❤
regarding horse and player health. Horse health is still a thing, it just doesn't show on the UI (and you still get taken back to your stable if it depletes)/ Not sure about player health now but there used to be a fishing quest that your player took damage if you failed to hook a fish properly. You also got sent back to your stable :'D
It is established in the first book that Mr. Sands is immortal due to selling his soul to Garnok or something like that. His life is dedicated to summoning Garnok and he will not die until he succeeds or Garnok gets impatient with him.
Yes the pigs were added for a week! I got two of them. :D Really hope they bring the seals back too because I didn't play back when they were in the game. You also can get yeeted back into your stable (with the black screen saying your horse got an injury) if you and your horse fall in a certain way. It's rare but it happens. There's a tiny edge/cliff thingy in the middle of Cape West fishing village that will do this instantly if you jump/walk off of it, for some reason.
even though a lot of the old features were annoying (cold tolerance, slower magic horses, only being able to care in certain areas etc)... and i remember being so aggravated by them... i still kinda miss them! love new sso but this video did make me reminisce about my older days in sso. also!!! i don;t see people talking about this so i will!!! the hidden star you get from a race in New Hillcrest.. actually homed a horse xp glitch. I think it was back in 2018, but if you did the race repeatedly you would get 250xp from it each time for like a week. It was patched but it got about 3 of my horses maxed from me abusing it LOL. edit:.... the sso disney channel advert saying "SOME features may require a subscription" you mean 95% of the game? LOOOOL.
This was great! I love watching iceberg videos and I really wanted one for star stable because it has sooooo many mysteries that we don't have information too. I really hope we get some answers for these someday.
just stumbled upon this video on my feed and oh my gosh! ive played sso since 2016 n havent even heard of some of these little secrets-thats crazy. such a well put together video, looking so forward to seeing more content from u !!
Actually, they fixed the summer thing, in the fly scene, the first thing you see when you join as a new player, you are told something on the lines of “ you are staying for the summer, and then you will apply for (some name I forgot ) meaning you get to stay on the island year round”
Absolutely loved the video. Please make more like this! You should totally do another iceberg with even more weird/small/random things. I spent the whole hour watching this straight even though i struggle with attention span lol. More please! :)
2:38 why do I love this picture so much?!?! 38:43 and I used to do that too. When I realized it was Starshine, I FLIPPED! (Or as Alex would say-Fripped-sorry I had to) I was so excited!
41:48 i actually remember this omg the nostalgia!!! i forgot about this T __ T i remember how scared I was when I found out about this lol, I miss my childhood days lmao
This was so entertaining to watch!! I saw that you might be doing a pt.2, and if you're ever running out of ideas, reddit always has the best hidden lore or facts about sos that could help you. never been a person who uses reddit but the SSO community is strong there and won't hesitate to pitch in.
Another one is that there is a photo of mr Sands in Pine Hill mansion in ssl 2, composed exactly like a famous photo of Lenin. Kinda funny. Also, I think it was established in the ssl games that mr Sands and the dark riders (they weren’t called that at the time) were aliens and made to blend in with the humans, and that’s why he’s so old.
just a quick add i think you missed, there was this band called JA who had songs at the disco around 2014-1015 and we got a shirt! and id say also the potatowatchers
41:35 is actually true I remember when I would sneak onto my parents computer at night as a kid to play I heard that and it really freaked me out and I didn't realize it was coming from the game at first because it never played during the day. But the sound is identical to what I heard and I definitely investigated to find it was coming from the castle, you actually didn't have to be that close to the castle to hear it from what I remember but this was years and years ago
@@Linkydee4 I would really enjoy if you created a deep dive on the main lore of SSO! Since it has changed so much and still many unfinished stories to be told on it. (:
I wanted that jacket so badly when I was a kid. Can't find them anywhere online now, it's like they never existed. So happy to see that I am not the only one that remembers them 😂❤ (Still desperately want one)
There is another hidden text inside a book in what is now the sacred grove (stone circle? its in the portal in valedale). It is in the second room, with all the books. There is one laying open on a table, that has some blurry but somewhat decipherable text. Loved this vid :)
Thanks for all the love, everyone!!
EDIT:
I've now made a follow to this video that clarifies a couple big mistakes I made, as well as showing some new additions that you guys suggested! If you notice any big mistakes in here, please check out my Community Notes video, as I've likely already corrected it there! th-cam.com/video/xS0r8knNSI4/w-d-xo.html
Hi, I'm new to your channel. I hope you upload again. I really enjoyed this video and I love your voice.
I miss the life-like restrictions, to have to wait for the bus or the trailers being restricted to regions. Now the ferry has no use and no one goes to the mall anymore :( it's weird how they make very grindy features but remove all organic challenge or need to explore.
Yessss omg i agree!! Felt so much more realistic this way
35:00 ah yes the purple car, i have a vivid memory of me and a bunch of other players marching through that area single file, only for it to hit everyone and cause a ripple effect
I remember that too! I thought I'm just imagining it
Rainbow festival/cloud kingdom… “consistently returns each year” spoke too soon 😭😭
Its now the pride event
Its always so funny how BIG yet how underground this game is if you don't go looking for it. I was horse obsessed, had a huge collection of horse games but I didn't hear about this game till 2019.
The treehouse is related to the Romeo and Juliet questline between the Sunfields and the Goldspurs. I think the two teens snuck away there.
Yeah, it was! the two characters were also named Tristan and Isolde, wich is a very cool easter egg, considering that "Tristan und Isolde" is a real life romance novel! (I remember reading it for school and raging about how every character was stupid lmao)
@@Sunfl0w3rseal Tristan and Isolde are also the lovers in one of Wagner’s tragic operas, weird choice for names
I love the salon music so much, if anything ever happens to it, I'll riot.
I have it on my channel, if I correctly understand you
The song is on Spotify and is called ”If Ever”!🙈
@@emmakollberg07 Thanks, I didn't know about that. c:
@@emmakollberg07 link?
12:58 The player actually used to have a health bar as well and the only way i found you could damage it (or at least, as a non-star rider with too much time on my hands) was by standing on foot in the way of the car that rode through the area between Jarl's tomb, and Steve's. The player health to my knowledge did not regenerate so if you stood there for long enough, eventually it would run out. The screen still only sent you to home stable though.
But it would have been hilarious if it just took you to Doyle’s Abbey (when it used to be a graveyard lol) and said ‘Aideen has resurrected you!’ or something lmao
i don’t remember the expensive fresians, but i do remember there was a fjord who was around 1200 star coins and came with special tack.
50:50 the justin moorland player thing is most definitely real! Kitti spiderweb mentions it in her video "forgotten star stable things" (at least i think it's that video?). She shows footage of it and explains that the player justin moorland was actually an sso employee running a social experiment to see how the community would react to interactable things like this!
Ohh thank you for this! I tried so hard to find evidence of it online but just couldn’t, I was starting to think I was going crazy haha
I remember you were able to ignore him. I had him in mine ingore list for a Year or 2.
i was so scared of him, thought it was a hacker 😂
@@Linkydee4the cd games were developed by Hidden Entertainment, not Pixel Tales. Pixel Tales was their publisher.
it was kittis "star stable urban legends" video
47:51, in Swedish the letter ”I” is pronounced similar to the letter ”E” in English which might be why its spelled ”Wiiii”. It makes sense in Swedish and is pronounced the same as ”Weeee”.
A few things I just wanted to add
- The music that is heard when you are near a fridge door, that is the Starshine Legacy's Dark Core theme.
- I think the road extra speed has been removed, and instead of that "faster gallop" has been added as a gait
- I always thought the purple car was Jarlaheims major(?) - as there was a quest taking a trailer to the Riding Hall..so I always thought the race was a nod to that
The deepest tier lacks a server where, when someone moved, the account was reset to start and all the star coins that had been earned/bought/spent were collected back and you had a lvl 1 account with tens of thousands of star coins. This happened at the beginning of the server's existence and then I don't know what happened to it
I was actually offered this I believe in 2015.
When I moved from the US to New Zealand and asked to shift over server regions (different to just changing servers), they said it wasn't possible to retain all of my progress and horses if i chose to move to the NZ server region. I chose not to of course, and with the time difference played during the night (in game) for many years. When the ability to change the time of day arrived in game I cried!
I'm so happy others call them "fridge doors" as well! I'm not on an english speaking server so the community doesn't call them that here but I'd always call them fridge doors.
this is the most well-planned and enjoyable starstable video ive watched and ive not even finished it… and this is a 15 subscriber channel. wow
edit: WHAT IS THAT THING AT THE END??? HUH??
Hahaha thank you so much! The thing at the end is an Usiku. It was part of the Halloween questline that was in the game before Galloper’s Keep was added. You helped a strange little girl in Golden Hills before she revealed herself to be that creature.

@@ΔεαΚ I know! what I meant by that was such a high quality of content deserves a lot more subscriptions. Luckily it looks like this video gained a lot of traction for them :D
I can actually explain the white fence thing on paddock island. It's something I figured out myself overtime!
I don't know if this is still a thing in game, I haven't really noticed it lately, but there was a time back in the day where if you rode near any NPC with a quest or just anything you could interact with, the game wouldn't let you jump. Since there is an NPC girl standing by the fence, that is what would prevent you from jumping it.
Here's the interesting part though: The NPC girl only has a daily quest available on Fridays, so if you do the race on any other day of the week, you can jump the fence no problem! I used to train a lot back then, so eventually I learned to avoid the jump on Fridays 😆
For dolly the sheep, I am 99% sure that the Dolly you see in Jarlaheim is actually a clone of another sheep- Dolly. Well, the second (or the first) dolly is found under the cliff where Mika lands with her balloon... There was also a quest about that one specific sheep and many people theorised it was because of the cloning experiment... Well, I guess SSO went with it and actually cloned Dolly and moved her to Jarlaheim !
I am not sure if the quest is still in-game, but It was given by a girl in that area with pigtails, where she was looking for her sheep or something. It's one of the oldest quests in the game, as I remember playing it years and years ago with gen1 horses
Just checked, yep, I was right... the sheep is still there, and it's the only sheep in that area! Well, it doesn't have any name above it's head but I'm sure it's named Dolly- there were theories about it aftterall back in 2014 or so, regarding the name and if it was a namesake after the original cloned sheep!
@@ashra.png. Was it Mary?? The blonde one?? :D You find Mary in Jorvik Stables these days
54:05 i always thought the sound when logging in, was the magical horses that transformed into their magical coat because it was the same sound and i didnt have that sound before i had a magical horse.
also, before, that sound used to depend on the person! for example, my friend had the sound of doing the dailys while making the greendale bridge, meanwhile i had the one talked about it the video 😄 this was 7/8 years ago, i still hear the same sound while logging in, but idk about the other one
I always thought it was the sound of my horse needing care lol. Idk why that specifically.
23:34 I remember a few years ago someone had "Discovered" bread island, it was one of the islands in the sunset isles thing by New Hillcrest stables. It was one of the islands you couldn't naturally get to without either bugging out your horses jump or plain glitching too it. I don't remember who discovered it or exactly when but I remember 2018 me attempting to reach it multiple times. Might not remember it correctly though ^^;
Also the amount of memories this brought up is amazing! I almost forgot entirely about the salon music! I started the game in 2015 so I adored this trip down memory lane
I think this was a myth. People have glitched onto that island before, and that did _not_ get Bread Island unlocked in the discovered areas list.
Watching deep dives on games I never previously heard of is so relaxing
It was a great game back in 2011-2017! My whole childhood basically 😂 now it’s just about money (the old team quit working for SSO and it went downhill from there)
This was INCREDIBLE. I was praying that someone would make an SSO iceberg video!! :D It was so well formatted, so well written, and absolutely deserves more attention :)
I always thought the heart in the Cape West sand was from the two pirate/smugglers in the cave nearby. The Paddock Island fence is also only jumpable if the kid doesn't have a daily quest. If he does for the day, you can't jump over him for some reason.
The yellow sticky note looks like it says Call Linda too! But pretty good overall :)
Ahh yeah I thought that maybe the quest was the reason for the unjumpable fence but I also thought it could’ve been the model update for the fence itself, I wasn’t sure lol :P thank you for your insight!
There is another hidden "emote" along with /gestures, called /brb. It has no animation, but it will show in chat to nearby players and say "[Player] will be right back!".
Also the popular "dressage" originated on the European servers and was called that because Phil the filter didn't recognize the word "Quadrille" and it wasn't permitted in chat back then. So players would advertise it as just dressage for ease of conversation.
There were other nitpicky stuff I could point out too, but those I felt were the most important. Lovely video, bringed me good nostalgia and memories, keep it up!
Wow this kind of just blew my mind, I had no idea about sso “dressage” actually being quadrille. I had to look up that term and I was amazed because that’s exactly what it is! All this time I just assumed the sso community was just doing the closest thing to dressage they could while throwing in some random moves and making it a group thing. Thanks for elaborating on that!
The first one, I actually did not know that.
53:17 this is one of my favourite facts. the swiss flag is due to the geneva convention! It prohibits any display of the red cross that isn’t truly a mecial center (or similar) in real life. So in many games, anything to do with medicine which would generally be marked with the red cross, has its colours either changed OR inverted, which then ends up looking like the swiss flag. in this instance i assume the dog is supposed to resemble an avalanche-dog of sorts, hence the cross.
This video is literally just star stable nostalgia and it lowkey makes me sad 😭😭
the seals (and pigs) are actually coming back super soon, for a limited time with the discounted horse bazaar! also bruce (that’s what i named the shark) is still around! i also remember the rumor that the dinosaur is actually a dragon, i don’t know if it’s true (i doubt it is).
omg really??? i was just thinking about how much i wish i could get a seal 😭
such an interesting and well-made first video! I especially loved all the nostalgic fun facts and seeing how far the game has come
12:30 i'm pretty sure there's still horse health, it's just invisible now, since I get send back to my home stable once every blue moon. Most noticable in poorly programmed areas like the winter village, where you can easily glitch through the floor.
26:45 Are you sure the dogs were the first running pet? I thought it was a squirrel, maybe the one with the blue christmas sweater? But I'm not sure anymore.
Fun fact about Jojo Siwa, her model and all the objects she came with are still in the game files for some reason
27:30 You're right, If I remember correctly SSO gave us a bunch of options we could combine to make a magical horse design and if you uploaded a picture of it onto instagram you had a chance to have "your design" chosen. So technically there was a limited amount of possible combinations and I'm sure they were all suggested multiple times by the end. Unfortunately I don't remember how we created the designs, since I'm pretty sure you did not have to draw or edit anything yourself.
32:00 Now you can get into locked goldenhills through halloween activities, unlock the ferry, and go there without problems or cheat warnings. Love how they made it easier to break in :D
33:20 some of the pigs being readded for a short time is true, I think it was during a bazaar
THE SQUIRRELS ahh I completely forgot about those, you’re right they were the first running pet. Oops lol! Thank you so much for your extra insight, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I'm sure the first pigs were actually retired during the 10th bday or something like that, but they had to retire the rest because some of the piggies snuck out of the shop lol. They have appeared again at the bazaar, as you said, but they appeared before and that was their intended retirement day. They retired the seals as well and that was at the bazaar too if I'm not mistaken.
Re: 2:00, When I saw Pandoria, I didn't think "Pandora" as in Avatar, I thought "Pandora" as in the Greek mythological figure with the box. ...And I'd guess that Avatar was referencing the same thing. It seems like a pretty sensible thing to reference in both cases, evoking the idea of something that is possibly dangerous, but still compelling to explore, y'know?
I have two little things that you missed in the video :D
1) Old UI - the minimap has a different place now, and there were icons around it that are now in another corner; some buttons are new
2) no global shop - if you were looking for a specific clothing/tack item (f.e. to buy a club outfit), you had to go to that specific shop. And the database was much more needed back then, because without it was so difficult to get an overview which items were available
My mystery is the original game textures. An employee accidentally revealed to me through an angry comment that they were licensed assets, not created for the Star stable brand, and now I’m on the hunt to find the asset license and buy it for myself LOL
Funnily enough my old Google email still has giraffe neck player as the avatar pic
I also know the names of every single major original employee of pixel tales and hidden dinosaur/ hidden entertainment (for the reasons of asking questions, not for creepy reasons, LOL). I also have the files for early 2015 star stable. Still looking for early 2011-2014 star stable.
@@zixea3318You know that legally, old sso cannot be restored, right?
@@RimFaxxe yeah. I’m not gonna restore it. I just like grabbing the old files and hoarding them.
@@RimFaxxe also my new disc is just “Zixea”
I haven't played sso in ages, but I wanted to watch this for nostalgia. I started playing in dec 2014, so I remember the old things here :) There are a few things I maybe would have added (I haven't seen any other sso icebergs, so maybe you left them out on purpose) Maya used to be named May, I have no idea why they changed her name. You could only own one hairstyle/makeup look at a time. If you had hair A, bought hair B and after a while wanted to go back to hair A, you would have to pay for hair A again. There was a glitch that made you go SUPER fast. It was so fun! I did use it in a race once ehe. Fort pinta used to be run by a literal kid, he looks a bit older now right? Also the shark there could bite you if you fell in the water on it and you would be sent home. Ferdinand's horse marked used to travel around. (I can't remember if you mentioned this or not, sorry if you did) Steve's place and the village looks so different now, I can't remember if the clock in the village actually worked or not. Since I haven't played in a long time I don't know what's still in the game, so maybe there are some other things as well. But this was really good! (Also I feel like I remember the crying from the castle as well)
I used to play sso a looot. Someone in my class played this game, and ever since I saw it, I fell in love with the game. I started playing in 2017/2018. I made soo many memories playing it and made a lot of good friends back in that time. This game helped me so much during that time,it was all I couldn't have irl. Just played it again after not playing for about a year or so. This reminded me of many features which now are just missing. When I logged back in,last week, I just started crying when hearing that some songs and noises were still in game. It felt very nostalgic. TYSM for explaining the SSO Iceberg, it refreshed my mind!
If you finish reading this, here's a short message: Stay healthy and safe!
Fun fact: I found other people who played sso irl(other then that friend who introduced me to sso).it was very nice talking about the game with people I know in real life.
You could've also add the servers failure event, when back in 2014 server battery exploded and we couldn't log on so we got a shirt as a gift
This is an absolute amazing video! I love the deep dives of iceberg videos, and especially with it being SSO related. Great job !!
the nostalgia trip on this one :') miss the old stable sm so much, feels like a fever dream. Although the practicality wasn't all that good
I hope SSO makes more quests about us finding out how we are technically Aideen reincarnated
Fun fact! The salon music is actually available on Spotify!! The song is called ”If Ever” and is released by Star Stable themselves and is sung by Lana TB. The Leaker. The song was released in 2004 though which is interesting since SSO wasn’t released until 2012.
I stopped playing this game ages ago and this video was a super fun reminder of it! I remember when back in 2017 I asked my brother to buy me SC cuz I wanted the seal, can't believe it was the last time they showed up
I am SO glad you brought up Archie!!! He will forever be my favourite game master. I will always laugh at his joke when he was mispronouncing information about the shire LOL!! He was such a great asset to the company. Thank you for this video!!! ❤❤
I used to play starstable a LOT as a child (2014-2018) and i just wanna say I adore this video, the amount of nostalgia oh my gooood. You reminded me of soo much stuff that was deeply hidden within my memory😭😭🫶 also coming back to find out Ydris turned into a tumblr sexy man is WILD lol i always used to think hes just a random mysterious dude pre makeover.
Also i can confirm the Linda crying noises from the castle was real!!! At first i didnt know what you were talking about but when you played the clip i vividly remembered how i was standing around in front if the castle trying to figure out how to free her because her crying made me so sad. Good times
Yes the first magic horses were done with a bunch of options that you could choose and mix together through a link!
Also I get kinda sad with all the mysteries like the witch or the vent/drains etc, as I feel like we’ll never get to know what they are since they have changed the story a lot.
Another, yes I think I remember the horse being a 1000sc as I remember thinking how strange that was
hits different when you’ve been there for over a decade
This made me so happy. I remembered EVERYTHING mentioned and it made me love Star Stable almost all over again. Thankyou for your work!!❤ would looooove to see more content like this
What an awesome video going back the memory lane- loved how much you were able to cover!!!
Firstly though- I want to add that they have removed the grind with closing pandorian rifts, super big bummer! I want to confirm that yes, the first 3 magic ponies were designed by the player base! It was run on Instagram where we had to like pictures with features we liked.
Can also confirm that the pigs did have a small comeback in 2023- had forgotten about it but found out now since they are being discontinued, because I somehow had one on my 2nd account when I went to check. xD
The chat heart being with alt + 9 sounds I've never heard of before! For me it has always been shift + 3/4, can't exactly remember the number. But yes, this seems to have been disabled, unsure when though!
AH the amazing Star Stable Randomness, all those videoes were the golden era of SSO... XD
THEY CHANGED THE CHAMPIONSHIP SYSTEM?! I thought it was still a thing to remove your tack, I've just grown too lazy to do it, welp- good to know that is no longer a thing. XD
Star Stable Run, I remember hearing about it and being so excited, it would have been so great. :')
Is it weird I miss the zone trailers???
I didn't know we actually managed to save fred ahhh, that is so cool! :')
Didn't know they had TV commercials either, I heard of it through school and website ads >-<
I am honestly amazed at both how much I remember but also the few things I forgot or didn’t even notice! Magic horses had less speed?! I also had no clue that the GED office actually had files!
Funfact: The Canyon, where Lone Star Rodeo takes place in Starstable - Autumn Riders is now the Dino valley in SSO. 💀
I love that you included the old and new looks of each place, like Steve's and the Baroness' race track!
Also fun fact, idk if anyone else did it, but when only star riders could jump, it was my way of quick greeting other riders :D Like I saw someone galloping gowards me and I'd jump, showing her I was a star rider :]
There was actually a horse that did cost more than 1000 sc other than the friesians! :) The white gen 1 fjord horse. I believe it's price was like 1425, while other fjords only costed 780 sc. ^^
At the 25 minute mark when you're talking about time, I just got back into the game and was doing a quest. There's someone who's come to the island and they say they're here for the summer camp and one of your responses is something like "Was that what I came for too?" Or "I remember something like that!"
It was pretty funny to include actually lol I've been playing since 2012 so it's wild to watch your video and be constantly going "Awh! I remember that!!" Or "Ugh, I remember that.." 😂
Fantastic video so far!
I originally put this video on as some background noise while drawing, but I literally couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. I absolutely loved this video, pls make more icebergs!!!!
id like to add the saddest glitch removal of all time: the fogless dino valley.
you used to be able to remove the fog from dino valley by going to the riding hall, dismounting your horse and leaving it there and going to the valley by foot (took like 10 min). When you entered the Elevator down the fog in dino valley would be completely gone.
This was like the most popular glitch in the editing community and i will truly never understand why they removed it.....
wow!!! so happy you included so many of these, I forgot about the locked trailers!
i used to play this when i was about 13.... and only played for a week at times because i didn't have money to be premium so i created 505949348 different accounts to enjoy the free stuff 😭 so ya girlie had no idea there was so much lore about it. great video BTW!!! 💞
I have been playing sso since i was 6. Now 17. and hardly playing anymore. Like most people i dont like what ssop turned into. however, i LOVE this video! this is so nostalgic. most of these thing i have had been forgetting, thanks for making me remember
i was waiting for you to mention the seal iceberg in the iceberg, but it never came! its wild to think how much sso has changed
Loved this! I joined in 2012 and watching this was a WILD RIDE💜💜
You totally forgot the scariest bug of all, the face popping up on the loading screen like a jump scare. It’s been fixed but seeing that before pulling an all nighter is terrifying.
Hahaha😂😂
1. I just realized. 'Techno' is a genre of music just like 'Disco' is. They chose to name 'Techno' after a genre of music too, to have him fit in with 'Disco'.
2. Yeah, the login bling sound was definitely real. I experienced it countless times. It's probably gotten caught on several of my SSO videos, I don't remember which ones though.
3. Someone on Eleanor Nightwalker's Discord server said that the music that plays in SSO's salons comes from Lisa's/Kyomi's/Brittany's rooms in Star Academy. I've seen footage of Lisa's and Kyomi's rooms though, and the music doesn't match. But, to counter my counter, I can't find footage of a Britanny playthrough anywhere on TH-cam. So, maybe it is from Britanny's room.
re the “You have taken a dangerous fall”, recently I’ve randomly been getting sent back to my home stable with the “It looks worse than it is. We’ll have your horse back on its hooves in no time!” message! super random lol
OMGGGG the old running animation was soooo much better than the newww! I miss it so much
I have been playing since 2013 Winter, and your video brought back so much memory, and I also learned some new information, like the first location of Fred! Shout-out for Birdie, there was a time I visited her just because I wasn't sure if she was there all the time. :D
i absolutely love this video! i love these ice berg videos and sso lore and history in general, so this video was just great!
56:09 The song is called "if ever" and the track was actually found and you can find it in Google drive! I can't confirm anything but apparently it's an old demo song sso somehow managed to get their hands on.
Sorry for like the 8 thousandth comment, but anyone else remember the graphics update that was quickly phased out after a year or two? It added ‘realistic’ shadows to everything (including houses, and trees), but apparently it was too graphic intensive so it was removed and replaced with horse-only shadows. It was around 2014-2016
omg yes. Remember my old laptop almost dying lol
and do you remember the motion blur when it came out? Is it still ingame? I think nobody actually liked it haha
I actually kinda liked the old graphics, especially the colours and textures on the ground and in the grass, now all of the grass looks the same
yes i remember the justin moorland player!! i remember in our community there was a rumor spreading that its a hacker and that you should block him, since you actually could block justin moorland ingame. i think i still have him blocked lmao
13:28 SSO dressage is actually a real thing, Its called Quadrille dressage where many people are doing the exact moves as in sso. + In Starshine legacy while playing Anne, this type of dressage was there, where you had to do a curl, fate, curl over ext.
Ive seen many people say that it was sso players that invented this form of dressage even though it was in the originals, and its an actual dressage form💕❤
regarding horse and player health. Horse health is still a thing, it just doesn't show on the UI (and you still get taken back to your stable if it depletes)/ Not sure about player health now but there used to be a fishing quest that your player took damage if you failed to hook a fish properly. You also got sent back to your stable :'D
31:06 Firfall's name was changed to Mistfall because the people working with SSO used to often mix up Firfall with Firgrove due to their similar names
It is established in the first book that Mr. Sands is immortal due to selling his soul to Garnok or something like that. His life is dedicated to summoning Garnok and he will not die until he succeeds or Garnok gets impatient with him.
Love this, got lucky and was your 300th subscriber, hope you become famous ^^❤
I saw the salon music and I knew it was gonna be a good video 😂
about the fence at 58:19, you could only not jump it if the little girl had a task for you, they did fix that bug and now you can always jump it.
Yes the pigs were added for a week! I got two of them. :D Really hope they bring the seals back too because I didn't play back when they were in the game.
You also can get yeeted back into your stable (with the black screen saying your horse got an injury) if you and your horse fall in a certain way. It's rare but it happens. There's a tiny edge/cliff thingy in the middle of Cape West fishing village that will do this instantly if you jump/walk off of it, for some reason.
even though a lot of the old features were annoying (cold tolerance, slower magic horses, only being able to care in certain areas etc)... and i remember being so aggravated by them... i still kinda miss them! love new sso but this video did make me reminisce about my older days in sso.
also!!! i don;t see people talking about this so i will!!!
the hidden star you get from a race in New Hillcrest.. actually homed a horse xp glitch.
I think it was back in 2018, but if you did the race repeatedly you would get 250xp from it each time for like a week. It was patched but it got about 3 of my horses maxed from me abusing it LOL.
edit:.... the sso disney channel advert saying "SOME features may require a subscription" you mean 95% of the game? LOOOOL.
This was great! I love watching iceberg videos and I really wanted one for star stable because it has sooooo many mysteries that we don't have information too. I really hope we get some answers for these someday.
just stumbled upon this video on my feed and oh my gosh! ive played sso since 2016 n havent even heard of some of these little secrets-thats crazy. such a well put together video, looking so forward to seeing more content from u !!
Omg I'm so excited to watch I'm a new player :) can't wait to learn!
Actually, they fixed the summer thing, in the fly scene, the first thing you see when you join as a new player, you are told something on the lines of “ you are staying for the summer, and then you will apply for (some name I forgot ) meaning you get to stay on the island year round”
Absolutely loved the video. Please make more like this! You should totally do another iceberg with even more weird/small/random things. I spent the whole hour watching this straight even though i struggle with attention span lol. More please! :)
Thank you so much for your work! I've been waiting for an SSO iceberg for so long
2:38 why do I love this picture so much?!?! 38:43 and I used to do that too. When I realized it was Starshine, I FLIPPED! (Or as Alex would say-Fripped-sorry I had to) I was so excited!
41:48 i actually remember this omg the nostalgia!!! i forgot about this T __ T i remember how scared I was when I found out about this lol, I miss my childhood days lmao
This was so entertaining to watch!! I saw that you might be doing a pt.2, and if you're ever running out of ideas, reddit always has the best hidden lore or facts about sos that could help you. never been a person who uses reddit but the SSO community is strong there and won't hesitate to pitch in.
Another one is that there is a photo of mr Sands in Pine Hill mansion in ssl 2, composed exactly like a famous photo of Lenin. Kinda funny. Also, I think it was established in the ssl games that mr Sands and the dark riders (they weren’t called that at the time) were aliens and made to blend in with the humans, and that’s why he’s so old.
5:55 yes, the og castle WAS in golden hills before 2017; but it wasn’t called the marchenghast castle
OH MY GOD AAAAA I LOVE THIS VIDEO IM GONNA WATCH IT AS I DO MY HOMEWORK // TRAINING IN GAME :33
its so fun to listen to this as someone whos been playing since 2012. some of this stuff ive either forgotten or somehow never heard of lol
absolutely amazing, my sister sent this to me and it did not disappoint. Well done on this!
just a quick add i think you missed, there was this band called JA who had songs at the disco around 2014-1015 and we got a shirt! and id say also the potatowatchers
The amount of nostalgia I had watching this omg. I’m smiling like a kid in a candy shop 😂💞 Thank you sooooo so much for making this!
omg i loved this!! it brought back so much nostalgia
I will forever stay mad about the updated soul/darkriders😭 they changed their whole style and personality
The JoJo siwa thing didn't age well ・﹏﹏・
41:35 is actually true I remember when I would sneak onto my parents computer at night as a kid to play I heard that and it really freaked me out and I didn't realize it was coming from the game at first because it never played during the day. But the sound is identical to what I heard and I definitely investigated to find it was coming from the castle, you actually didn't have to be that close to the castle to hear it from what I remember but this was years and years ago
This video was sooo good! Thank you for making it I really hope you plan to make more! 💗
Thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed!! And if you have any ideas for another video you’d like to see, feel free to share!
@@Linkydee4 I would really enjoy if you created a deep dive on the main lore of SSO! Since it has changed so much and still many unfinished stories to be told on it. (:
@@Cutiebelle oooo that’d be a fun idea! I’ll totally keep that in mind next time I want a new project :D
The crying was true, witnessed that myself. I experienced the Nick Stoneground XP bar bug as well, it kind of startled me every time 😅
I wanted that jacket so badly when I was a kid. Can't find them anywhere online now, it's like they never existed. So happy to see that I am not the only one that remembers them 😂❤ (Still desperately want one)
The Fort Pinta Shark is still around, I see him almost everytime I do Fort Pinta races. I named him Finnie :P
There is another hidden text inside a book in what is now the sacred grove (stone circle? its in the portal in valedale). It is in the second room, with all the books. There is one laying open on a table, that has some blurry but somewhat decipherable text. Loved this vid :)
the three canon ships being all queer is making me emotional as a queer woman who has been playing SSO since 2012 before I even knew I was gay 🥹
Yes! Finally someone did this! Thank you so much this was a amazing video!
