**** LOOK! LOOK AT ME! CORRECTIONS COMMENT ! ****
I missed a few things in this video that are very important, I'm very sorry to the following for not including you in the video, that is my bad.
1. Barbiegirls.com
There actually is a barbiegirls.com rival project in the works that I glossed over in my research, you can check it out here: "www.flowcode.com/page/barbiegirlsrewritten" or at there TH-cam @BarbieGirlsRewritten
2. Littlest Petshop Online
There is also a LPSO.com rewritten in development as well that I did not find originally, you can check it out here: "lpso-revived.carrd.co/#" or at there TH-cam @lpso_revived
3. Nicktropolis
Nicktropolis as well has a revival effort titled "Nicktropolis Timewarp" that can be found here "gamejolt.com/get/build?game=803261&build=1496726"
I don't know how I glossed over these, but I did, witch is very shit. These are very cool, amazing efforts to bring back games that I and many of you loved. and they deserve recognition, so if you were a fan of any of these please go check these remakes out.
I was gonna pull an "um actually", about Barbie Girls. Then I saw this
So now I won't
havent watched the vid, but didnt see ipigworld on the list? so i assume its not in the video?
I remember some other virtual one about choosing a team to live in their place (There were green and red team) both had diff currencies and if you wanted to visit the red team place you would have to go to some bank to convert the currency and you could even go to fight for the green team or steal money from the other team and wars and events ,and once you have chosen your team you cannot go back , I don't remember the game name but it was made the middle eastern channel for children (MBC3)
I remember a virtual world game called Pakamas that I don’t think anyone remembers… can you find it for me?
I miss the era of virtual worlds. I was obsessed. And when worlds shut down I felt heartbroken. There is so much lost media there.
Jesus Christ saves
He had mercy on me he can save all who all seek him today He made away through calvery repent of all sins today
Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
It's crazy bc we had no idea that these things would die (for the most part)
fr
Club penguin is still there
You should try Tattered World, it’s like a mix of Gaia and neopets I love it
the hilarious thing about pixie hollow is that you used to only be able to make pixies. making a male character wasn't even an option. so boys would go on there and make a girl character with short hair and spam "IM A MAN" in the spawn area
I can't read that without thinking of "I'M A MAN! _Punch_" Anyway, that's pretty funny
And may or may not have led to a few kids doing some deep self-questioning while very confused
Someone should make an index to keep a catalog of all these games so they’re not forgotten
This is actually an emerging field in archaeology no lie
where do I apply? Seriously, trying to get history scholars to take "internet historical study" seriously has been hard.@@Eerie_Canal
@@Eerie_Canal fr? sign me up tbh
I haven't seen anyone mention it, but Monkey Quest seems to be a pretty obscure one and used to be one of my favorites for some reason. It was made by Nickelodeon and you would be able complete quests that were kinda like Super Mario levels. I have kinda faint memories of playing it, but I remember that I really loved it and played it pretty often. Literally anyone I've ever asked about it irl has never heard of it.
OMG I loved monkey quest!! I was totally forgetting about it!
I was waiting for this one to be brought up!
I remember that one too! I discovered it through an ad on the Rambo movie (the animated one)
I LOVED IT SO BAD IT WAS SO COOL
Missing ones that I loved as a kid:
Stardoll, IMVU, WoozWorld, Wizard101, and GaiaOnline
Wizard101 is still super strong rn too!!
My bf asked me to download wizard101 on my laptop and every now and then he logs into his childhood account
W101 will always have a special place in my heart
NO CAUSE HOWD HE MISS THESE THEY WERE HUGE!
I was also thinking IMVU!! I forgot about Wizard 101 and Gaia Online but they totally belong on this list
I'm still an active player of Wizard101, lol. I've got two level 160 characters, another that's about 145, and some smaller ones in Celestia / Krokotopia. It's great. 10/10 would recommend you pick it up again during one of the free membership periods.
I also played Stardoll, thanks for bringing that one up haha
meez, imvu, woozworld, and zwinky were some of the ones i miss the most 😭 unrestricted internet access as a child shaped my youth in good and bad ways
oh how i miss meez
@@Rxhina I think they might be bringing it back, not sure though
@@Rxhina meez was the best
Omg zwinky!😂 i remember my parents got pissed cus it kept tricking me into downloading its toolbar and it would give me pop-ups and was annoying to fully get rid of 😂
How dare you bring up Imvu 😅😂 holy fuck Meez too, I was chronically online at this point as well. Camaraderie with everyone here 💪👾
barbiegirls actually originally had a great deal with the mp3 player !!! later on they had monthly memberships, but originally you could only get the "VIB" (very important barbie) status from getting the mp3 player, AND (!!!) whatever clothing came on the mp3 you selected, appeared on your barbiegirl when you input the code online. it was god tier and some mp3's were more rare than others so the clothing was also more rare along with that, was pretty sick imo
I’m glad I’m not the only one who remembers this
“Im a boy. I do boy stuff” and “I was infamous among my parents” both got me
I showed up for bin weevils. I am the biggest bin weevils fan. It’s all I’ve played since my conception. Bin weevils put me to bed. Bin weevils fed me breakfast, lunch and dinner. Bin weevils 2 is coming
Matthew also
BIN WEEVILS 2 IS COMING?!?
Love that for ypu
Thanks buttondowndingo!!!!
me too i am the biggest fan of binweevils out of everyone i have ever met i lived and breathed it back in the day
I’m almost to the end and crying because there’s no StarDoll!! I LOVED StarDoll! You could talk on forums, create your apartment and decorate, play games, dress up your avatar. Ugh. That was the first thing I ever had a membership for!
I really liked Stardoll, but it just sucked that all the coolest stuff cost real money.
Stardoll isnt lost, its still around. but he still had webkinz on the list so yeah idk why he wouldnt add stardoll
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THINGGGGGGGGG
Lmao I still play Stardoll :)
stardoll was everything
i'm adding two to the list:
1) panfu, like club penguin but with pandas. my first virtual world, had really fun customization and missions
2) mundo gaturro, about the infamous argentinian comic gaturro (deserves another iceberg of its own). it absolutely rotted me and my friend's minds at one point, we were out there learning how to get into other people's accounts to get the most valuable items and shit. had some fun minigames and clothes
I was like, where is Panfu? I played the hell out of it as a kid. I kept begging my parents to get Gold Panda, lol
Yeaaaa PANFU 😢 I used to love it so much
Mundo gaturro 😭💔
MUNDO GATURRO omg i had so much fun playing this
PANFU FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT
Shararam is still up because of the popularity of Kikoriki in Russia, and it's still played by a bunch of people. (I'm a Russian person myself, and I've played Shararam a lot in my childhood, it was just absolutely the same as club penguin, but with Kikoriki branding)
One of my absolute FAVORITE online games was Fantage. I played religiously everyday as a child & even convinced my parents to buy the subscription that gave you access to the special clothes & accessories in world. I got up to a very high level & did pretty much every special event they had. I played for years until I eventually outgrew the game & my parents had to cancel the subscription. The game shut down a few years ago but I think about it every now & then lol
i would pay any amount of money to get Fantage back lol
@@brittanyboyce4144me too I loved the fashion show
when i was a kid my account glitched and I managed to get permanent membership at the cost of not being able to open my profile ever again. I could wear whatever I wanted!
sometimes i think about the time where i truly fell in love with some random ass guy there for the first time
holy crap i remember fantage and i remember first playing it where there was this tomato throwing event going on
I’m just happy to see Pixie Hollow Online finally acknowledged for once. It feels like it’s the one virtual world Disney made that was never acknowledged by mainstream media. I don’t know what that game did to me in my youth to make me so obsessed with it but I am. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.
favorite game ever…no one understands
It was my favorite game, always played it after school, i was so sad when it shut down
Did you know there’s a beta retro version of it? Aka owned by fans! But they’re trying to bring it back!
It’s ironic now that I think about it how mainstream media didn’t really talk about it despite how successful the 2000s Pixie Hollow movies, comics, and books were. I am going to guess that since Winx Club was at its peak popularity when the game came out media chose to focus on Winx Club instead
you can still play a rewritten fan version of it, but it's offline and you can't save your progress. its fun to play for a bit. its still being worked on
you mentioned LPSO, but before that, they had LPS VIPs (vips standing for virtual pets, i think). they were similar but slightly different, LPSO was a lot more expanded and i think it leaned into the multiplayer concept more (I don't know, I never played it)
LPS VIPs were the same idea, you bought a pet and you could add it to your account. there were no customisation options for the pets, but you could name them, give them clothes and you could decorate your own room, as well as visit friends' rooms. there were several online areas to explore, and a few minigames to play. one was a rythm dancing game, i think?
anyway, it's definitely lost media now, which is a shame.
I remember being heartbroken when LPS VIPs shut down and switched to LPSO!
Aside from some comercials, old videos of people playing it and the website in the way back machine and also the plushies there is no way to play this game, its sad because I remembered playing it as a kid, I even have 3 VIP plushies with me! Most people only remember the LPSO game, I wish there was a revival of the VIP game as well
I was entirely addicted to Free Realms. So many hours in that world. I miss it :'(
i remember that! i always wanted to play it again 😭
There's a FreeRealms revival project in the works. It's called FR Sunrise. The latest news about it was the early beta signups started in 2020. I think the signups are still open.
It's being developed by a single guy, so it's going really slowly. I would link it, but youtube just decided to hate links recently.
I remember putting a lot of hours into it.
My absolute favorite. I talk about it to this day. Played it on the last day, too. Horrible experience of being there for the server shut down 😭
The fact you didn’t mention Fantage at all bro how did you miss that 😭😭😭
i was waiting for it
W profile picture
they have it as a mobile fashion game now but its so barebones it's only fun for about 10 minutes
and panfu
Remember Frank Town?
There’s nothing more that I want in this world than a Bearville remaster :,(
SAME😭😭😭😭😭
I MISS BEARVILLE CUZ LAST TIME I PLAYED I WAS SIX AND IT SHUT DOWN WHEN I WAS TEN!
@@user-ash705 I LOVED THAT GAME WHEN I WAS LITTLE!
I still use the username I created in Bearville: Biancabear580 😢
Bro seeing UB Funkys again was probably the most out of the blue nostalgia I ever got to experience. I had so many and I just now remembered how they looked like and especially how the world and minigames looked like.
Thank you!
Some that weren’t mentioned that I vividly remember playing were Chimpoo, Webbli world, Tootsville, Dinokids, Franktown rocks and Shidonni. I loved shidonni because you could draw your own pets and even make one into a real plush
Omg someone mentioned Tootsville!! I vividly remember my cousin and I going on the computer and searching up virtual world games until we came across Tootsville. I just remember a bunch of elephants farting it up on there. Didn’t like it very much lol
Was looking for someone else who remembers franktown rocks
Chit Chat City, OurWorld, Fantage, SmallWorlds, WoozWorld, and Zwinky. Along with a few others I forget the names for were my FAVOURITE Virtual Worlds. I miss them. R.I.P Childhood.
I was LOOKING for the CCC comment omgg that was THEE game. I heard someone rebooted but it will never be the same. It's era was fantabulous. I played it in high school and I would do the drawing part when a teacher came to make it seem like I was just making artwork. Avis 😭
I was hoping someone else remembered Zwinky! I used to love that game, mostly for the avatar customization aspect
My older sister used to play SmallWorlds ALL THE TIME back then. I enjoyed watching her play and chat with other people. Can't recall too much, but man does it give me hella nostalgia.
Omg, I think you’re one of the very few people to mention Ourworld 😭 that was my favorite and there’s barely any videos on it
ZWINKY OH MY GOD
Sad not to see Fantage on here but hearing about Nicktropolis sends me back. I'd only really ever be active around halloween for the Vampire vs Werewolves event for as long as it ran bc I love all things vampires forever. I'm glad to hear that people know of it at this point.
I used to pretend to be a boy on fantage
I loved Fantage, I played it all the time. I stopped playing it as much as I got older, then I heard it shut down. Fun times!
I genuinely loved Fantage, but looking back on some things it screwed up my viewpoint on "beauty/pretty" for a while because all the cool clothes/hairstyles/eye colors looked better on lighter skintones. I remember I went to the game's tanning salon to change myself from black to white so I could wear rares 💀
DUDE I FORGOT THE NAME OF THAT GAME OH MY GOD THE MEMORIED
I LOVED FANTAGE
This video was not only an incredible journey of nostalgia but strangely validating. When you mentioned “Mcworld” close to the beginning, I almost screamed because I have been talking about that game for years! There is ONE virtual world that I never see talked about that would be completely lost media if it weren’t for the TH-cam channel; it’s called Zookazoo. It was to the point where I thought I made this game up.
ALSO BECAUSE OF THIS VIDEO I WAS ABLE TO REMEMBER MUCHIZ. I had a Bratz one!!
As someone who spent over a decade playing moviestarplanet, that game was very wild. Hacking, glitching, scamming, cheat engine, forum drama, msp youtube, rare collecting, etc.
was?

The whole anonymous hacking saga was a trip
PEAKKK childhood game for me. I will cherish those memories forever along with my account that I luckily still have lol.
Poptropica used to take up so much of my free time as a child it’s so disappointing to find out they took out some of the best aspects of the game now but I’m happy it’s still playable at all
man i loved that game, the pirate and space islands were my favorites, but then they started to monetize the shit out of it and i fell out of love 😭
POPTROPICA WAS MY JAM BACK IN FOURTH GRADE MY FRIENDS AND I WOULD SPEND INDOOR RECESS ON OUR LAPTOPS PLAYING POPTROPICA
I’m a content creator for MovieStarPlanet, and it’s still so wholesome to continue to make content for this game while it’s still alive :)
I spent the past 2 years explaining the concept of McWorld to my friends who insisted they had no idea what I was talking about. Virtual Worlds were my childhood and i'd do anything to see some of them come back.
The brief Windows Movie Maker intro may have added 20 years to my lifespan, thanks, man.
Edit: 5 years have been removed again at the reminder that the best version of Poptropica was ripped away from us.
Your welcome, and sorry XD
@@bjiru_ There is one vitral world that you missed and it was a skylander’s MMORPG called Spyro’s Universe.
It was really cool, it was kind of like U.B funkeys, but the skylanders came with codes and you’d have to use the codes to add that specific skylander in. Sadly it lasted only a year.
My boyfriend and i used to play it as kids it was nice to see another person remember it so i was hoping to see it here for him and i.
If you ever do an part two of this iceberg you should check it out.
I miss OG poptropica I still remember my old user and password of my childhood acc but I haven’t played in years cuz they changed it a ton
you guys can play the old poptropica on the flashpoint archive
Thanks for writing about the Shararam!There was a lot of drama in it back in the day,like protests on the streets of the game because of moderators who insulted players.Theres actually a lot of paid content,and because of that there's not much people.And in around 2011 there was a spinoff of this game called Sharonavti where you played like a space guards or something,but I don't sure if it still available
I remember seeing a video about that game on TH-cam a LONG time ago and I didn’t know what it was called cuz I thought the name was in a different language and I thought it was SO weird
Sharanavti became a cartoon, but without any trace of smeshariki/kikoriki
I'd call it not Sharonavti, but Sharanauts. Так им наверняка будет понятнее
Oh man, huge waves of nostalgia here; loved virtual worlds as a kid! On the iceberg, I played Club Penguin, Neopets, Animal Jam, Poptropica, Webkinz, Moshi Monsters, BuildabearVille, Pixie Hollow, Barbie Girls, Littlest PetShop Online, McWorld, World of Cars Online, and Kung Fu Panda World, but I've got fond memories of PetPet Park, Monkey Quest, and Wizards101. I remember FeralHeart also being, like, super big, especially because I was into Warrior Cats at the time and it was all the rage in that community, but I tried to download it and it gave me a virus-- so I just downloaded a similar game called Dragon's Den or something of the sort. It's crazy seeing how many of these games just don't exist anymore.
petpet park and monkeyquest were my childhood
omg you just unlocked a memory, i completely forgot about petpet parks existence! i also just left a comment about monkey quest, wondering if anyone else remembered it, glad i'm not the only one loll.
Anyone remember a Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends game on Cartoon Network that was essentially its own virtual world? You got to design your own custom imaginary friend and play as him in the house. You could talk to the characters from the show, see other people running around, and complete chores around the house to earn prizes.
100% remember and played this one
Thank you for this memory unlocked !
Yes!!! Foster’s big fat awesome house party!!!
@@annalisa9755 Thank you! "Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: Big Fat Awesome House Party" has apparently been both archived and restored to a playable state by the folks at BlueMaxima.
YES. It had a name generator/remixer for signing up and it strangely enough gave me the name I use for my email now. 😭
OurWorld was for me what Club Penguin was for others. It lasted surprisingly long and only died a bit after the death of Flash. So far I haven't heard a single person uttering its name.
Also, one reboot I'm really excited for is Free Realms Sunrise. Free Realms was the chillest virtual world/social game I've ever played.
ourworld was THE virtual world for me, i was crazy about it. i just googled to see if it was still up so i could go play only to see that it shut down in 2021.... i'm devastated 😭i hope that rewritten project pans out
Our world was kinda wild. You could earn gems by filling out surveys. I would fill out surveys with fake information for hours and get sooo many gems lol
dude I lovedddd Ourworld!
i miss ourworld so much
AND DOWNWORLD! I miss them both :’(
im from brazil and a lot of these didn't arrive here. HOWEVER, we had Mundo Gaturro (i think it is from argentina? im not sure) and Mundo Toonix (aka toonix world, this one was from cartoon network portugal, i think). These were INSANE and i was shocked when i found out they weren't avaiable in english and other languages.
i miss these sooo much
eu era viciada em mundo gaturro animal jam e club penguin eu achei q mundo gaturro era mais popular na america latina shhsjsjd fiquei chocada quando n vi ninguem mencionar nos comentarios..
jumpstart, barbie girls, and supersecret omfg..
i was such a virtual world enthusiast as a kid i would literally just look up new virtual worlds to play on
i need another one with migoland, petpet park, ourworld, imvu, secondlife, woozworld (i think?), omgchat, stardoll, adventure quest, etc... ourworld and migoland were my personal faves. i LOVED them and am so sad to this day that its gone 🤧
also I'm SHOCKED the Mcdonalds game was here. it is deep in my memory
There is a Migoland private server now, though it's not always online and a lot of features aren't implemented yet.
Adventure Quest is still up and the devs made other games too and a remake!
i loved petpet park fr it was so intricate and big and i miss it sm
isnt* imvu still up
jesus christ i forgot about adventure quest. that was my faaaavorite
I was an Animal Jam kid. I had a membership for several years. It wasn't really 'play as your pet' but more 'you are the animal' and the biggest aspects to me were trading & 'rares', roleplays (especially family ones), and den decorating. If you want more info on it, I'm the person to ask because I was obsessed as a kid.
I was a HUGE AJ kid as well. I started playing in late 2011 right after beta ended 😭 that game consumed so much of my life and actually is how I met my best friend that I still talk to daily. I still pop in to check AJ classic every now and then, it's one of the most nostalgic games for me
I miss playing it. I remember being in the schools library and seeing an ad for it in a net geo magazine. I also role played a lot as a warrior cat or trading people.
I was the kid who told all my friends and then they told their friends and then I got the whole school playing it
@@whannabi I do.
YESSS dude the hours I would spend trying to trade stuff was insane
Great video! I'm so happy more people here on yt are Talking about some things I adored in my childhood and generally seem forgotten by many. It's great people are preserving such things. One virtual world that wasn't mentioned here but I adored as a pree-teen was Avataria. I don't know if it counts tho as it was a facebook game (and also it was on other social platforms such as polish nk or russian vk). Maybe it wasn't as popular in other countries as it was in here in Poland, but I remember playing it everyday when I was 10 and 11 (I even had a blog dedicated to it) the premise was pretty simple, you did some tasks which helped you progress to higher levels, bought New clothes to customise your avatar, decorated your house (you could but as many rooms as you could) and visit some places to chat with people. It was regulary updated, so later they added more places and more minigames. I would say it was more for teens, as it required you to have a facebook account (but there were also some kids). It ran from I believe 2012 to the death of Flash. It's still available as a mobile game tho, but it's kinda different than its Flash version.
I played so many of these it's silly - I was OBSESSED with online worlds. I got reminded of another virtual world I played a ton as a kid and really had to hunt down what it was called - Woogi World. It was ClubPenguin adjacent but for kids safety education I think. I actually was able to dig up some of those old "how to earn a lot of (insert game currency)" vids that never actually worked lol! A nice trip down memory lane, great video :3
I've never heard anyone talk about this game before it's called Bella Sara
It was basically this horse game that had packs of trading cards you bought with codes to get those horses online. You couldn't do much with the horses themselves besides feeding & brushing them but there was lots of fun mini games to play. Those games would give you coins you could use to buy items to decorate your room and I think each horse you logged on would come with its own unique item to put in your room too. I can't entirely remember, it's been a long time. I'm not sure if it's still up today, last I checked it was but that was 3 or 4 years ago now.
I had so much fun on there & a handful of others on this list too. Webkinz, Poptropica, Animal Jam, Pixie Hollow, Littles Pet Shop, & Build-A-Bear were some of my favorites.
I remember I got a free trading card in a magazine, which introduced me to the game!
i loved bella sara!!!!
omfg girl i loved that game so much. so underrated and lots of fun
@@sarahradulovich5865i got a book or like a puzzle or something and it turned me onto the game ! it was so cool. & turned out my friend had the game too so it was even better lol
Yes!!!
I’m quite surprised you didn’t mention Petpet Park, which was a virtual world spinoff of Neopets. Seeing what Tales of Neopia would’ve looked like it seems like it was scrapped in favor of Petpet Park which was essentially a simplified version of the former
Petpet park was so fun I miss it so much
i came here to say that i swore i played a 3d neopets world that looked just like the neopia concept art, this is it!! bc i swear they had some of those fantasy settings on the map
i miss this game so so much and barely anyone remembers it
I MISS THIS GAME SOOOOO MUCH, my 8 year old self cried for days when p3 shut down. my username was blueberry101531 LOL I didn't know how usernames rly worked at the time but i went by blue (or bleu, how my friends called me) for YEARS after
I played petpet park religiously! I remember you could use a command to act like a zombie
i really love your channel and im glad i found it, i love to watch your stuff with my friends
one of my favorite games as a kid was "sumdog" which actually started as a thing my school forced me to play. it was all about math and puzzles and learning, yet i ADORED it. whenever we were told to open sumdog as a kid i became overjoyed, hell i even played it at home when i didnt have to. despite ALL that, i am yet to find much evidence of the games existence. sometimes im convinced i dreamt it, but there are a few screenshots of stuff i rememeber! i think theres even a remade version thats still up, but its not really like the original at all. i cant even find games on there any more, it seems like more of an actual school tool. i remember so many games, friending people, decorating my house, and more.
OMG I LOVED THAT GAME TOOOO
My elementary school friends and I were OBSESSED 😂
SumDog was a game? I remember seeing a billboard advertising it years ago at my elementary school, but I had no clue what it was.
Virtual world games were like crack for me as a broke kid with no consoles, life rly hasn't been the same since flash died
im british and binweevils was the MOST POPULAR virtual world over here, me and my mates used to play this shit 24/7 when we were kids and this was our main obsession for a couple of years in 2010-2012
One of my fav games that I played as a kid.
Love the editing in this, you absolutely nailed the timing
i loved animal jam so much. the houses, yard sales, trading, mini games, animal facts, parties, exclusive animal zones, the scamming… one of the most nostalgic things from my childhood i miss my friends on there so much 😭
Here is a list of some other virtual worlds, that I remember playing:
1. Panfu - It is a very popular virtual world, similiar to club penguin but with pandas. It is so popular, that I'm a bit shocked, that it didn't make it to this video. It had many crossovers, with Disney, Alvin and the Chipmunks, Lorax, Nintendo, Megamind...
2. Happystudio - McDonald's Second virtual world. It was from around 2010-2016
3. Monkey quest - Nickelodeon's world with monkeys. It had some pvp or something too, i dont really remember. There is a recreation of the whole game, as a minecraft map. I also have dreams about this game from time to time... Yeah, pretty wild. Especially that I didn't played it much.
4. Nickelodeon's the club - Similiar to nicktropolis, but with Penguins from madagascar, Icarly, Fanboy and chumchum and such.
5. LEGO Star Wars III Beta - A virtual world. It wasn't a beta version of LEGO Star Wars III. It was a completly diffrent game, where you basically only unlocked characters, and went trough places, with a possibility to watch some trailer footages. There was only 1 minigame in which you had to build the III with some other players, from the lego bricks. It had also clones literally sh1tting themselves, when a sith attacked them. Yeah, pretty wild. It was 2D btw.
Aw man I love Monkey Quest, I wasn't super smart so i got stuck alot but it was such a cool game.
monkey quest!!
holy crap Panfu unlocked a memory so hard i think i would have gone the entire rest of my life forgetting about it had i not read this comment
i loved Panfu and monkey quest! i remember it kinda having WoW vibes?
i remember a panda game called pandanda, wild that there were two of them lmao
Free Realms is so underrated as a lost virtual world. I remember so many days of rushing to get school work done just to play. I miss FR.
i dont think we'll be able to play it again...
this was my favorite!!! i wish they’d bring it back 😢
OH MY GOD this entire time ive been trying to think of the name of this!!!!!! im so glad someone else remembers this 😭😭😭 id never rest easy if i couldnt figure out the name of it, i loved it soooo much
apparently there's an unofficial revival trying to happen called FR Sunrise :0
I remember tirelessly searching through shady websites attempting to find all of the special codes to unlock some of the worst clothing you could get. I never actually did any of the fighting quests in the game I just fucked around and talked to randos.
i still log on to animal jam every day! you don’t actually play as a pet, like you thought, you can just play as different animals. you can get pets but they’re really just decorative
Same!!!!
really enjoying your stuff keep going bro
Kinda sad OurWorld wasn't on the iceberg, but admittedly it did get pretty obscure past 2011-ish. Sadly it closed in October 2021... However, I'm currently working on a 3D remake of sorts whilst a friend of mine is working on a full-on rewrite!
Omg that's so cool! OurWorld is probably the virtual world I spent the most time on as a kid and I had some pretty formative memories there, but I've never seen anyone else talk about it!!! I'm really happy to hear about the remake, good luck to you and your friends :]
no way i spent so much time on that game its not even funny i didn't know if anyone else remembered it. super cool that you guys are working on those remakes though!!!!
i loved our world!!
omg pls tell me when y’all release it i would love to play ourworld again
I spent waaay too much time on ourworld
I’m surprised gaia online didn’t make the list considering it would’ve been near the top. My super deep iceberg suggestion is Crazy Tao although it doesn’t exist on a browser and might be considered an MMO. Maybe a lost MMOs iceberg would be interesting!
GAIA WAS AMAZING!! Can’t believe he didn’t mention it
@@acuteangyll It still exists...
@@acuteangyllit still exists
I'm surprised there's no pet pet park mention
I think the lines are blurred between MMO and virtual world, they are almost the same thing
I was so happy to see VMK on here, that was my favorite! I was on there saying goodbye to my virtual friends on the very last day before they shut it down :’(
I feel like I remember them nudging VMK players to try out Club Penguin instead near the end before shutting it down bc that’s at least where I ended up going afterwards
I believe that MyCoke was previously known as CokeStudios, and there was a rebranding that happened at some point. I was obsessed with that game as a kid! What stands out to me most was how the world had a strong sense of place. They really nailed the concept of the game, which was that you were hanging out at various music venues throughout the world. I really loved that you could make your own music, and you could earn points by taking your turn as the DJ at the various clubs. Overall it was a really fun time and I would love to visit the worlds even just one more time. Oh! There was also a Shark-Tale tie in club (or set of clubs?) that seemed to exist and then never left, sort of like the speed racer tie-in you mentioned. I don't remember any other tie-in worlds.
I used to play millsberry which was like a generals mills cereal virtual world. I completely forgot about it until this video jogged my memory. I love unlocking nostalgia!!!
Me and my friend were obsessed!!
millsberry was so fun!!
I played this too! There was a mini game where you jumped on cushions in the air?
Was bummed to see this wasn’t mentioned! Loved this game
i was looking for this! my favorite one even some irl friends played it and we would add eachother lol i wish it was back
i used to love bella sara, its basically a game where you could buy irl cards of these pretty horses and collect them on the website :,) it made me so happy as a kid
Oh my god same. I still have my binder full of trading cards! I'd spend so long grooming my horses, I miss it so much. I even had a Bella Sara game on my Nintendo DS.
I remember this. What an era
Omg I'm so glad other people knew about bellasara, mostly people don't know what I'm talking about when I mention it. I would login at 6am as a kid just so I could have enough time to take care of all my horses. It made little kid me so happy, and I still have all my trading cards
Yess
i wish i still had my account and cards omg.....
this video is such a nostalgia trip!! omg I used to play so many virtual worlds. specifically club penguin & littlest pet shop (still got my pig). I used to play the pixie hollow game aswell, but I never remembered my password so I would make a new account every time lmao
Jumpstart mention woww! I played a ton of these games but no one ever knows jumpstart. Honestly surprised it wasn't lower! It was such a fun game to play. Because of chat restrictions there wasn't crazy drama but still funny situations that have happened throughout the game's lifespan. Thank you for the video :)
Toontown has pretty much come out as the titan of virtual worlds nowadays, fan-made servers like Corporate Clash get MASSIVE updates. They had an update that added 16 boss fights with mechanics that completely turn the game on its head its insane.
I love toontown so much, as I kid I was obsessed
it really has became the juggernaut, even going up against the likes of PSO2 and wizard101, and its a shame because a lot of these virtual worlds deserve the same love but either companies wont allow it or no one cares enough.
The thumbnail alone nearly fucking killed me. Nostalgia is an awesome but sucky feeling. I miss being 8-13. Instant subscription
I know the feel man, But your alive today too, maybe the magic of being 8-13 is gone, but now there is the magic of being 20,30 or whatever age you are, make sure you live your life to the fullest, and give yourself in 10 years something to be nostalgic for too
@@bjiru_ there’s always something around the corner worth sticking around for. Looking forward to seeing what else you put out! 💙
I was OBSESSED with virtual worlds growing up. Anyone else remember and miss Meez?! I was surprised to see it not mentioned!! Also all the Facebook virtual worlds like Yoville, MiniPlanet, OurWorld, etc.
I miss Meez! I guess it wasn't as big as some as the other virtual worlds which is so strange because it never came off that way.. rooms were always full! I wish I'd been a part of a dance crew before the site shut down :(
okay i loved this and i also played some of the weirder ones like babble bottle pop and the mcdonalds one. some i spent a good deal of time on that weren't mentioned were our world and trollz. there's one virtual world that has absolutely haunted me for years because i can never remember what it was called. after searching the depths of my email for a sign up conformation i found it was called migo land! and the website is still up but not playable.
When you said you knew nothing about animal jam, and then gave it that wholesome explanation. Oh boy. The history of this game is kind of crazy, and I think all the educational aspects flew out the window in like 2015. Nowadays it’s mainly just people trading and focusing on the rarity of items (it always has been to different extents). It used to be owned by National geographic, which explains the educational origins, but it no longer is.
oh fuck really? that is fucking interesting as hell, I would have never known, did very surface level research for most of these due to how many there where but its really interesting to here about the deeper lore of them all, thanks so much for sharing
Items from the beta of the game were not accessable anymore so anyone who owned them would trade them to others and everyone was obsessed with owning beta items
There were also villains called phantoms trying to polute the intire world and would kidnap people and you could go on optional
Adventures to save the lands some adventures actually most of them were for members only you could also as an animal have your own tiny pets, there were also lots of creepypastas on youtube about the game i remember watching
And hackers
@@NyxTrix.good ol Fman122 and Wretchedjungle
Wait it's not owned by net geo anymore?
Also when he was mentioning this, I was hoping he'd mention the beta version of crystal sands called sandy shores or something like that. Apparently someone somehow was able to get ahold of it and then made their own server of it. (It's been years so my memory may be a little fuzzy) basically there was a big scare going around to never follow anyone to Crystal sands as you could end up in the beta version and get banned by ajhq. I was able to avoid mostly every kind of hack or band that's been going around except for the one around 2020-2021? Where basically the whole game was hacked and I lost my account due to it. I tried getting back into animal jam play wild but I quickly learned that I just miss the nostalgia now and not the game itself.
One Virtual world you didn't mention and barely anyone mentions is Zwinky. I was an avid player from the late 2000's up until the sites closure in the mid 2010's, it was made by a small team i think and used emojis as avatars and used a tool bar for the game and for emojis. it had a heavy late 2000's art style, clothing, furniture, music and it was great. It had several big collabs with Sketchers, Snoop dog and more. They had several minigames, worlds, characters to talk to etc. Out of all the virtual worlds back then Zwinky was one of the most interactive with it's fanbase and fanartists, legit they did many clothing collabs with actual players of the game, did art and clothing competitions and the winners of them their clothing was actually put into the game, listened to the player base and genuinely it was great, heck you could even design your own clothes and wear them. It's just sad how little people talk about Zwinky even though it had such big collabs and had a very active player base for many years.
zwinky was soooo good. i used to have so many accounts on that game.
Zwinky was one of my favorites!! I spent so many hours on there. The outfits were my favorite thing about it, they were just so cute and fun. The pizza mini game was my fave.
i LOVED zwinky! i was poor growing up so i couldn't afford to buy anything ever but i loved walking around and talking to people, the artstyle was so good
Omg I remember zwinky 😮
zwinky was so good !!! i remember one girl taking me to her house trying to convince my she was actually hannah montana and i also got in trouble for saying cum instead of come bc there was a character limit and I had no idea what I did wrong or why i was getting warnings bc I had never heard of that word lmao
wow man this video made me very nostalgic for this period of my life. to go back for a week and just browse the internet as it was back then would be sweet.
Same, I miss it, was such a different time, don’t neglect the internet of today too though, think about how bad you in 10 years probably wants to go back to the internet if right now
There was one virtual world I used to play that as far as I know is completely lost called Aldea Oreo, it is surprising how little information there is left about it
Fantastic video! I was a fellow virtual world nut and must've played any my crappy little computer can handle. Fantage, ChitChatCity, Ourworld, Zwinky, Spyro's Lair, Fishao, Hello Kitty Online, Smeet, GaiaOnline, Whirled, Legends of Oz, and so so so many more that I can't seem to remember the names of. Heck, even Total Drama Island used to have a virtual world space IIRC. If we count Avatar/Pet-based forums (like Neopets) there are and were so so so many, most of which are completely lost. It's wild to me that so many worlds and games people used to play are just all gone.
damn, i missed quite a few XD, those all sound fucking cool as hell, TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND ONE TOO!???! THAT IS CRAZY!!. but yeah, its crazy, lost media is insane
OMG CHITCHATCITY. I got my friend hooked on it hahahah.
DUDEEEEE OH MY GOD, I REMEMBER HELLO KITTY ONLINE,,, that shit sent me down a rabbit hole as a kid…… also I miss fantage so much the history behind whatever the devs are even doing is wild man.
I loved OurWorld!! Glad to see someone else mention it ❤️
IT WAS SUCH A GOOD MMORPG LMAOOO@@valsinbin6503
Smallworlds is missing from this list! Cannot believe it was not featured, it was actually my favorite and they have remade it now in Spanish as “MiniMania”
i was thinking this, i was so sad when it closed down
RIP SMALLWORLDS. THE REAL ONES WILL NEVER FORGET
Omg yes! Never heard anyone else talk about this game. I used to play it all the time
omg I was wondering if anyone else remembered smallworlds. i remember it was my mom who introduced me to it when I was like 11 claiming it was like a "child's Second Life" 😅
I remember playing one of Cartoon Network around 2008-2011 where you controlled big headed avatars called Toonix. You could dress them like popular characters of the time (BenI0, Foster Mantion, Grim Adventures, Chowder, Flapjack, etc.) and you could join rooms with more people and talk with them. I remember searching about it some time ago and found that was exclusive to South America. I'm not so sure tho. Maybe somebody else knows about it?
I played that alot aswell. Although I prefered playing FusionFall, a 3D Unity-based MMO on browser. It was Cartoon Network's more exciting MMO. At that time I was around 9-12 in age and had very limited knowledge in English, but it was still worth it. Around 2012 Cartoon Network would redirect visitors to their website to their nationality's Cartoon Network website, so that sucked a but IMO. Eventually it shut down. At least it was fun to hang in there for a bit, even that's a opinion I got in middleschool. Have a nice week.
an lpso rewritten IS currently in the works! its taking more time because the game is unfortunately fully lost media and devs are building it from the ground up
oh wow sick!!, that is super exciting
I'm hyped if so, I remember playing lpso when I was young but I cant remember that much from it. I would love to just experience it again. I also remember playing the gameloft lps game later on too lol
Aaaaa the music that played when you started talking about pixie hollow 😭 def the game i am most nostalgic about on this list
i miss fantage. that game was my childhood. i loved the fashion show minigame, that was my favorite. im surprised fantage isn't on there because there's a lot of lost media from the soundtrack to the official fantage youtube channel
they have a fantage mobile game called fashion designer , it's really barebones but still nostalgic
@@dingusweenie thank you so much wowee 🐹
I'm surprised you didn't include Free Realms! It was one of my personal favorites and had a decently sized explorable map with customizable 3D characters. Didn't look bad for the time, either. Maybe if you get enough suggestions, you could make a part 2 one day. 🙂
Im so sad I had to scroll so far to finally find a FreeRealms comment!! I thought maybe it was a fever dream of mine hahaha. Miss you FreeRealms!
i was really surprised too!! i miss freerealms so much
in tha video he said mostly only browser based virtual worlds except toon town
Free Realms was my all time favorite and I miss it like crazy every day :(
Omg I loved free realms
I remember playing two clones of club penguin, interestingly both panda themed. One is panfu which I think has a private server still going and the other was pandanda. That also had a private server for a while but for whatever reason it's gone now. Panfu was probably closer to a club penguin clone but there was one relatively unique feature. You could level up and get access to different emotes (and probably other things but emotes are all I can remember). I don't remember much about pandanda other than it having a pretty cozy atmosphere.
omg jumpstart was MY ONE OF MY FAVORITES! i also played stardoll a lot but that wasn’t a virtual world and then moshi monsters and webkinz. but yeah for some reason jumpstart was just so fun to me and i never hear anyone talk about it!
I used to play these games, maybe they'll spark some memories for someone:
Gaia Online, Transformice, Handipoints, Woogi World, Wizard101, Ty Girlz, Foopets, Beanie Babies 2.0, Sifaka World, Tinier Me
i miss woogi world so much
OMG TINIERME WAS MY LIFE
i don't think transformice counts as a virtual world (?
@@un_weon_cualquiera. you're right, I just wanted to share some of the multiplayer games that I remembered :)
Still miss Beanie Babies 2.0 so much.
I actually really miss virtual worlds like this. I wish we had some new ones that are as good as these old ones
I think it’s for the best, too many people got groomed on these online chat rooms. :/
We used to play moviestarplanet as kids here in Europe, and they have recently made a second game! I logged in a week ago or so, extremely anxious over the fact that its probably going to be INFESTED with kids, but to my suprise the game is filled with people over 18, wanting to relive their childhood and all the nostalgia!
I'm happy I found back hahah
tbh the game: Sky Children of the Light really gives that same vibe as it is a community based game and lets u wonder the world to look for currency. it also has npcs that lets you buy cosmetics from them. its a pretty new game and available on many platforms
Loved this video!! I spent so much time on toontown, club penguin, buildabearville (i loved the music i miss it !!), and weeworld
Habbo hotel basically raised me i spent SO much time on that website, which explains the mental issues 💀 ppl on the retros were and still are extremely toxic its crazy
FINALLY!! Ive been looking for a Habbo comment!!! Me too... Me too
nostalgia is helluva drug. very entertaining video, keep it up!
Some virtual worlds I remember playing that aren't on the iceberg are Panfu, Pandanda, and Webosaurs. The former two actually aren't lost (Panfu has a fan-hosted server and Pandanda has an offline launcher that is basically a complete archival of the game + its fan revival), though the only thing left of Webosaurs are two minigames hosted on Flashpoint. It's kind of a shame, since that one had a PvP 2d fighting minigame as one of its main selling points.
i had not heard of webosaurs that sounds super cool, also forgot panfu woops :p
Pandanda was so fun!
oh my god panfu. that really takes me back. i used to be a "journalist" for the finnish version with my fan blog and everything
SOMEONE REMEMBERS PANFU!!!!!! why was it so ominous
whats the fan server called?
I imagine 4chan's visits to Habbo Hotel changed the landscape of virtual worlds forever.
It was in 2004-2005 right? Then I'd say it shaped more than changed, as most were still coming
Pool's closed.
but nobody remembers when wendys use to give CD games in the kids meals 🥺
I do! I used to have a Magic Tree House audiobook from Wendy's! I think they also released some demo PC game discs, too. I had a copy of Clue from them.
I got a copy of a mysims game from taco bell
already love this phenomenal editing 5 seconds in
I'm honestly so surprised that you didn't list Gaia Online! I think it's still running, but it was an iconic virtual world for preteen weebs in the late 2000s - early 2010s.
Also, I was on Weeworld as well during that time and it was truly the wild west of avatar chatrooms. Oh the things I was exposed to as a 12 y/o pretending to be a cool emo teen.
Lol I came here to say the same thing :)

Im a bit sad you didnt mention Petpet park. it was my all time FAVE game ever. Also i dont know but would Wizard/Pirate 101 count as a virtual world? I feel like it leans much more into an MMO but i still think theres tons of char customization and house building that could make it count.
Edit: also!!! I cant believe i completely forgot about this, but Nanovor online was my absolute SHIT. I legit had a baby meltdown when the servers shut down.yearsago
edit: AAAAALSO- Bela Sara? The horse game. + there was this one weird ass Betty Sphagetti Online game i nonstop played when i was little that i still have nightmares about to this day
Yes, Petpet Park!! I miss my Kassegat Catty5617
After seeing the two neopet games mentioned, I was really hoping for a petpet park name drop too. It can’t be that obscure since it was on the nick website with monkey quest and nicktropolis but maybe it got overlooked.
@@Blueberry_muffinnsPetPetPark was Def overlooked and is a shame:( it did had a good lore

May I say, I feel like free realms 100% deserves to be in this. It’s nuts from having a rick roll boom box to being able to have houses you have so much creativity in and could actually go out of bounds. Fun to explore lands and variety, and eventually getting ported on the ps3. FR sunrise currently is the only fan recreation aiming to bring everything back. Whereas there is another fan creation that is out there but only able to explore things while plenty of features and what not are still missing.
I played Free realms religiously back when I was younger and still remember so much, from the dessert area launch, to the Halloween event, scammers on the beach and exploring peoples homes and found they made mansions with blocks.
Free realms was out of its league man! Nobody knew about it and it had SO MUCH TO DO! I cried when it shut down and stayed on till the servers died. I loved that game.
i was also wondering why it wasn’t on here. i guess it counted more as an MMO?
anyways i always role played as like a lost princess of the world. i remember the valentine’s day event, the minigames, and all the really beautiful backgrounds

Probably the most well documented virtual world video. I was just talking about my time with Club Penguin and Bin Weevils as a child. My friend and I were having this convo, he told me about Yoville, and his time with it. We got into the rabbit hole on online virtual worlds. Nostalgic with a bittersweet sadness. Thank you for making this.

@@lawlessofarabia I know exactly what you mean, I miss those days back then too, it is some bittersweet happy sadness my friend, those days are over, but if they were infinite we wouldn’t hold them as close to our hearts as we do, but we’re also here, living today, making all kinds of new memory’s that our future selves will reminisce on too, nothing lasts forever, and there’s such beauty in that, thanks for sharing your story my friend :3
@@lawlessofarabiaabsolutley no offence but how can you almost forget something you spent so much time on?

I love this!!!! I played so many of the games on this list. some more I loved were tamagotchi music star, innerstar u by American girl, imagine town, stardoll, panfu, and be bratz. I would spend hours trying to find new ones to play
There's another virtual world missing on this list that I remember so much and it was Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends: Big Fat Awesome House Party.
You get to create your own Imaginary Friend and walk around the house, find other online Imaginary Friends in the process, interact with the characters from the show, and play a bunch of games. It was a short lived online game that CN made in 2007 that was supposed to last for one year but they extended it for one more year until the end of the series on 2009.
Omgg I thought no one else remembered that game I remember being so sad when I couldn’t find it anymore 😢
OMG this is such forgotten media that I literally forgot about it, even though they recommended me MY FIRST USERNAME! They had a system where if your username was taken, they'd give you a list of other weird ones and I completely forgot that that username, that I used for so long, CAME FROM THERE!
My mind is blown right now 🤯
I know later in the video you mentioned a lot of them were games "no one played" but this video is so insane and strangely cathartic cuz I WAS THE ONE PLAYING THEM!! LMAO. I had an INSANELY chronically online childhood, like more than most gen z kids i know did... Im the youngest of my siblings so my parents naturally gave me the least amount of supervision when it came to internet access. This lead to me from the age of like 4 for the rest of my life having absolutely unfiltered, unchecked, unrestricted internet access. This obviously hasnt done good things for me mentally, but its cool to see games that I only have very vague memories of (like rollypolyland) being talked about. Whats even crazier is there are SOOO many of other ones that werent even mentioned that I rememeber, like birdzworld, star86 (aka biglittlebang for the OG's), panfu, franktownrocks, club cooee, adventure quest, petpetpark, zwinky, ourworld, millsberry, secretbearworld, meez, fantage, and woozworld just to name a few off the top of my head lmao
FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS FRANKTOWNROCKS
PETPETPARK MY BELOVED
BIGLITTLEBANG OHMYGOD I LOVED THAT GAME AND COULDN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER WHAT IT WAS CALLED
Great video! One I haven’t seen anyone mention in the comments was Whyville - this came out in 1999 and was the ORIGINAL virtual world. It was based around education and had a ton of corporate sponsorships, but you could create an avatar, design clothing or items, get a job, and it had a very complex economy. It’s still running today!
Some others I haven’t seen mentioned much were Fantage, Stardoll, Postopia which was the Post cereal website lol, Bratz, Bella Sara, Gaia, omg and The-N which was the original Teen Nick
Dude TamaTowns theme slaps ngl, i remember vibing with my mom and exploring the world, i had like 3 tamagotchis 4.5s and got so many stuff, man i miss tamatown
This reminded me of Pandanda. It feels like a fever dream when I look up old content related to it. Thanks for bringing so many memories I thought might have been completely lost.
Yesss loved pandanda. Even had a little jingle to remember how to spell it as a kid. Panda N D A!
HOLY SHIT ANOTHER PANDANDA PLAYER
I used to be a big fan of a virtual world called Dizzywood. Played it for years I’d say until they changed the style and gameplay into something a lot more restrictive and lame. Loved Dizzywood. I recall convincing people I was a dev for the game, you were able to change the colour of literally every aspect about your appearance so I changed everything to blue and I guess people hadn’t realised you could do that so believed me when I said I worked for them. Lies and slander I was like 11.
I also played a chat room virtual world called Tinierme that was pretty cool, spent my first real internet related all nighters in middle school on that site. Did some sexy rp on there without really realising what I was doing, just sort of playing along to what everyone else was doing. My first ever bf was on there as well, we talked like one time then started dating then he never really talked to me so broke up with him. His screen name was Lelouch which I didn’t know at the time was from an anime I thought he just had a strange name and genuinely told people about him. Embarrassing but extremely funny. Good times back when the internet was fun.
One of my old roommates was really big on movie star planet and told me he used to convince people to gift memberships to him. He had like drama, we even found an ancient TH-cam channel that mentioned him by name!
I frequented maybe 5-6 other weird virtual worlds not mentioned here, some I don’t even know count as a virtual world. In Canada we have YTV which had a kids website where you could play games and pile around and do stuff in order to dress up/customise this like robot alien thing? Fun fun fun.
Last thing, when I was a child I had a build a bear but I may have gotten it before they implemented the virtual stuff, or maybe I just didn’t know about it at the time? Anyways, when I learned about the game I was really upset I couldn’t put my snow leopard into the game so I emailed the build a bear people explaining that I had my stuffies birth certificate and included a detailed written physical description of her based off of my own measurements. I think I must have been like 8 so it was clearly written by a child, but whoever answered the emails at the time must have really felt for me because they emailed me back with a username and password that they had created for me that had a snow leopard already registered in the game and I was able to actually play with it!! It was a really cool thing they did, some random employee of build a bear going out of their way to make sure I could enjoy the game. I don’t know if I thanked them but I wish I could cause it stuck with me. Also that game was busted as hell they had a bank system where you could put all your money in the bank then fuck off for like 6 months and when you came back you got crazy interest so I was always rich whenever I remembered the game existed hehe
i loved dizzywood!!
I LOVED BUILD A BEARVILLE TOO!
Yes dizzywood mention!!!! I never hear anyone talking about that I was so into it as a kid
YESS DIZZYWOOD no one ever remembers this one 😭
I remember Minimatch! I don't remember much of what you did other than just talking to people and that the environments were kinda cool, but closing it down for Fusionfall was for the better, it was so much cooler and made much more of an impact.
Honorary mention Petpetpark, I miss this game so much AND WAS SO OBSESSED WITH IT
my favorite virtual worlds were definitely Habbo, Fantage, Free Realms and Moshi Monsters.
I always get sad thinking about how I will never get to play most of them ever again.
you can though !, Habbo's still up, moshi monsters has a rewritten, I found a website for a beta Free realms rewritten,
If your talking about the wonder and magic of being a kid and playing them though, your right, theres something so special about being a kid, but theres also something so special about being a teenager, young adult, adult, and elderly person, make these days something your future self can reminisce on just like you are on those days back then right now ;)
@@bjiru_ Yeah lol that is what I meant, I look back fondly on all the friendships I made on those websites and all the adventures I had haha, I sometimes find myself wondering how my virtual world friends from back then are doing now. I've tried replaying Habbo hotel but last time I went on it, it was mega dead 😂, I didnt know about Moshi Monsters rewritten, and I had no idea the beta was finally open for Free Realms Rewritten! I heard of it back when they were still working on it but I kept forgetting to check on it
