Online Games You Miss

Bearville + Innerstar U....they were my childhood

There was this old game I used to play called Earth Eternal.
I also greatly miss Club Penguin, and PetVille and Pet Society from Facebook.

foopets..... wow... always promised myself i would play it again someday but never had the money to, then one day when i went to check up on it, it was just gone. so much of it is even considered lost media now. strange, because that game was my entire childhood and the reason i'm even here on cs at all :')

petpetpark... never met anyone else who played it. such a goated game

The loss of petpetpark was the first time I ever really grieved over an online game, I hope one day someone will make a reboot of it

does anyone remember the dairy queen online games website thedeeqs? there was a platformer where you had to jump through the clouds? ... just me?

It's been like 3 years at this point and I still miss Sploder. (for those who didn't know, it was a browser level editor you could make your own game with premade assets.) People made so many legendary games there- there was one called "The Jabberwocky" that was regarded as one of, if not the best user created games on site using only what the site gave you, and it both had interesting lore and was infamously difficult.

I think I miss Animal Jam the most, I know its still up, but I just miss being a kid playing it all day... and of course some other popular ones like Club Penguin and Wizard 101. I only regularly had membership for Animal Jam though.. It's crazy looking back at the whole membership thing, the games were so restrictive if you didn't pay up..

It's a little sad looking back at how most of these games are shut down now but I'm grateful for the private servers people have managed to make. Toontown has had quite a few (I'm always playing corporate clash :P) and so has Club Penguin.. it's nice to know other people care enough to keep their legacies alive :]

i'm always fascinated by lost mmos. my personal favorite was fusionfall, though it did come back at a couple points in time so i've gotten my fix of it for now (despite missing the large community it originally had!). i just think the scope of that world was so lovingly designed, even if it got lost in translation and couldn't be properly executed down the line. it's one of the best examples of crossing over media with vastly different styles and making them all into a cohesive universe. genuinely has such a great score too.

as for games that are like 100% lost with no proper revival attempts ever having existed, the nicktropolis game on the nickelodeon website was pretty fun; bare bones for a network-site-contained mmo but it actually updated with events and such and there was a really nice little community there for a time. i liked how it also integrated into the site's forums and other games too (like the also lost media side-scroller level designer)- i remember seeing mods from the forums in the game and being starstruck and sharing/reading some of my first fanfics on those boards. the foster's home big fat awesome house party on cartoon network's site was something i only played a couple times when there was nobody else on, so it's always felt liminal to me, but i wish i could go back and explore the map a bit more in-depth. same with the disney fairies online world.

outside of mmos, my most-missed game is girlsense! i don't know if anyone else remembers it, but it was a social fashion designer that had the most creative freedom i've ever seen in the genre. you had to start with a base item but you could cut into and paint it any way you wanted so people were turning dresses into framed paintings and cutouts of cartoon characters and such and then making their boutique displays little galleries. i really wish it still existed as my art has improved so much since it closed and i probably would be having way more fun with it. it's a shame nothing like it has been able to start up since ):
