5 Social Sites and Online Games I Played Growing Up (ﾟ▽ﾟ*) ・‥…━━━★ﾟ+.・‥…━━━★ﾟ+.・‥…━━━★ﾟ+・‥…━━━★ﾟ+.・‥…━━━★

> Cartoon Doll Emporium CDE for short, I believe was created in 2005 and officially shut down in 2019. The site started out as a simple forums and dress up site where there would be dress up dolls from other sources and original artists. It went through a few good many changes through out the years, even having a full avatar based system and membership. I remember you would collect points by playing the dress up games and mini games to spend on your avatar items. I never personally really participated in the events or the forums since I was still a teen and felt too shy or nervous. Sadly, due to the death of flash, many of the early site flash dolls that were more original and simple are no longer able to be played even through the archives.

> Fantage Fantage was an online social site that I would compare to GaiaOnline. It was created in 2008 and officially shut down in 2018; I believe there is a single player/ private server somewhere that was created, but I've never looked or seen it myself so I can't say for sure! You had your avatar and a world to explore. Different parts of the map had different locations like a beach, city, etc.. You even had access to your own home where you could host parties with other players or join parties. This one also had a premium membership, I remember almost having the membership but was too discouraged by the price as a young child to actually ask for money for it lol. I did not do a lot of progression in the game but I just liked to hop on for the music and the vibes.

> Tinier Me Tinier Me seems to have been created back in 2009 and it was officially shut down in 2012, with the forum shutting down in 2020 and the doll maker in 2021. Now it looks like there is a patreon for DreamSelfy, which would have been a successor to the original, but it doesn't look like it will ever reach it's goal. The last update for DreamSelfy was back in 2018 and it's been radio silence since. Now, Tinier me was an avatar dress up site (again similar to Gaia Online~) and you could even go out into the world and walk around to socialize with other players. It did have a premium money option and also a gacha system - and thus it was here that I was first exposed to gachas and I will forever be loyal to them now many years later. But I didn't care for the premium stuff very much, I just absolutely adored the style and cutesy anime look it had to it. I did play this one alongside GaiaOnline :) Now you may be thinking also, hm, those avatars looks sort of familiar don't they? Well you may be thinking of Cocoppa Play! They were both made by the same company and they still incorporate the original mascot for Tinier Me (Selfy) in Cocoppa Play for the more simple and common items in their gachas and game stores. Tinier me, my beloved, I miss you ♥

> Free Realms Okay, okay so maybe this one is borderline MMO and borderline social site, BUT, I used to really just play it as a social site so that is what it primarily was to me (∗  ❛ั ᵕ ❛ั ). Anyway, Free Realms was a massive multiplayer online game that was released back in 2009 and officially shut down in 2014. You may even remember seeing it's commercials play on tv alongside Wizard 101 and Toon Town, when 3D MMOs aimed at kids and young teens was at peak popularity and you would no doubt see those commercials ALL the time on tv. Now, I personally tried ToonTown and Wizard 101, but NOTHING got my attention like Free Realms. The game was my very first MMO and one of the games I miss the most thinking back at my childhood. The game provided you full freedom, with the option of doing anything and everything you wanted with no restriction on your class or job. Heck, you didn't have to do those things you could just be an explorer which means running around the maps finding secrets and tokens! Or just sit around and socialize with other players. I remember the game having constant seasonal and non seasonal events, plus the fact that you could choose if you did want to cook, fight, dungeon crawl, tailor, etc.. was so mind blowing to young me. And the music! Oh my god. The music. The soundtrack is available on Youtube and I highly recommend listening to it, it is so good. I'm gonna stop there, because I could go on and on and on about this game alone. It just means that much to me.

> Gaia Online

Of course after mentioning it twice I have to put it in here! Gaia was created way back in 2003 and is still active to this day. As you can tell by my profile pic below, I haven't updated my profile about 3 years since the last time I was super active was during the pandemic. But I always like to go on and off just to occasionally log in and see that it's still going and change my outfit. I don't remember when I joined Gaia, but I do know this is the my second account actually. I had an even older account that I could probably access if I tried really hard to find the email I used but it wouldn't matter since I did abandon that old account years ago for the current one so its okay :3 Gaia needs no real introduction as I'm sure many of you know about it and what it's all about. But basically, it's a social avatar site just like CDE and Tinier Me was. You have an avatar that you can dress up, a profile page where you can customize pretty freely especially if you knew how to make a sick Myspace page, an aquarium, a car and even pets (but only for the mini game!). Yes, Gaia has mini games and full length games within the site as well, the most infamous being Zomg, which was shut down in 2014 but then brought back again due to all the backlash from users. Be aware though, to play it you do need to download another browser that supports the hardware the game runs on as it does not run on regular browsers since Flash is gone. Another game that I actually enjoyed was Kindred Lake, which is where those pets would come into play. Gaia is also known for its extensive and active forums, weekly art contests and the world of Gaia where you can run around and talk with other players in a multitude of different maps. I have many memories of GaiaOnline and I'm glad that it's one of the sites that managed to stay alive and well all these years later, especially since the death of flash.

Palia is filling the FreeRealms shaped hole in my heart better than any other MMO I’ve played

When I was around 10 I spent a lot of time on FreeRealms, and since one of the selling points of FreeRealms was that it was a game where you could do anything, I decided I wanted to start a restaurant. I planned to farm everything myself, and since this was before they let you plant a garden in your home, this meant going to all the different farms and finding one where I could source everything I would need. I went through all the recipes to find ones that had ingredients I could acquire most efficiently. Then I broke out my pencil and pad of paper to calculate how much it cost me to make the dishes, estimating my time to be worth so much money and including the cost of the meat I had to buy from an NPC. I set my profit margin at what I believed to be reasonable, I bought a cheap yet beautiful plot of land to build my restaurant on, and I didn't make a single sale because I was too shy to actually use the chat function to entice customers.

[snapscube]

oh hey my birth father worked on freerealms! he was like. a lead developer. i got so much free shit on there because i was his kid it was ridiculous. havent heard mention of the game since he quit that job, its surreal to recall that it wasnt a fever dream

your majesty…………

I had to wait until I got off work to watch the direct

It was fine. Not too much appealed to me but I don’t think anything was outright bad

Was not expecting Pokemon info. I assumed we would have to wait for a Pokemon presents for that

I am weary of F2P games as all people should be but I’m kinda interested in Palia. It reminded me of FreeRealms and I really loved FreeRealms as a kid.

Holy crap a Super Mario RPG remake. I have the OG version on my modded 3ds. I should play it probably

Mario and Peach are so smol

How DARE they deny me Peach’s magical girl transformation sequence

Mario fans definitely won this direct. Good for them

Star ocean looks neat. I would play that

I have not played TOTK but I want that Zelda amiibo she looks so pretty

The new 2d Mario gimmick is going on acid. Neat

Also congrats to daisy for getting out of side game hell

#random personal rant #nintendo direct #I was hoping for fantasy life news #i unfortunately did not get it #not too much to say here I think having to wait to see it messed with my expectations

[gnc-tits]

i miss freerealms so much

#that game got me through some hard times i was being gay and autistic on that game in 2011. need her back

[gurlgallade]

Missing FreeRealms and thinking about how the mass vanishment of younger-audience MMOs (and other kid-oriented spaces online) is probably permanent in a late-capitalism era where companies have realized that kids can't easily spend money like adults can.

My childhood can no longer be visited and kids growing up now don't have anywhere just for them to hang out, except for minecraft, maybe.

#i genuinely think that these sorts of hangout spaces were a public good in a way #and i wish we could make some fun ones that weren't reliant on a company's line going up

Okay so I do Neopets daily, and recently when the Daily Quest feature was released (which includes some previously extremely expensive items as potential weekly prizes), it was SO funny going on the forums just to see the elitists throw fits. In particular there was this one thread where this one dude was saying "Why should I even continue playing neopets. Give me one reason I should stay." and 99% of the replies were "Nah," "just leave," good riddens," "BYE," ect. I still check every once in a while to see these fake currency billionaires crying like little babies. It's soooo funny Some people are protesting by cancelling their memberships... But I saw one person on the boards ask if they could buy a brand new membership on a side account and then cancel that to protest bc they didn't wanna cancel on their main.

HAJFJFKGK thank you for this info, like it’s so funny seeing people throw a fit over this shit, especially the person who wants to like buy and immediately cancel their membership on their side account like bestie that’s the same thing as walking into a room and loudly going “HMPH!” until you get attention and then leaving without explaining,, like if you’re this mad over a game then perhaps just take a break??

sorta similar but I used to play webkinz a ton growing up and had collected quite a few rare items along with my sister (same on freerealms, that is a whole can of worms I am very scorned) and at some point the game started doing little quests in game and for some of the quests the rewards were retired items ranging from mildly rare to super rare and sought after and people on the webkinz forum (I didn’t frequent them but my sister did) were PISSED they were so mad and I was like 11 and just happy to finally have the really pretty sparkly purple shoes lmao

#deity dialogue #asks #anon #neopets anon #it’s great that people are having fun playing these games but if you’re going to get this upset over a children’s game then I think you nee #to take some time to like calm down #like besties. #please it’s not that deep #I have a good few rare items on my old account (idk the rarity of them anymore because I am not paying for a membership and don’t know who #to ask lmao) but like if I found out they were worth as much anymore I’d just not care #even when I was actively collecting rare shit wnd the worth was going down I did not care that much #that said anyone have the rare webkinz witch hat and wanna give it to me xoxo I like purple jk unless #I actually have a Webkinz which either has an unused code OR someone went through the trouble of reattaching the code to #it’s a monkey I got at a thrift store for like $4 I love him he has no name #also I don’t mean to be dismissive of people being upset like you can be upset if you worked hard for something and it’s worthless now but #like I don’t think it’s worth getting super duper mad about #don’t let it rule your life and all

[cogbreath]

do you like virtual sims besides Toontown? (i wanna play it i just haven't yet). u might like ActiveWorlds or Impressive Title games, theyre both kind of lower-poly and/or have a lot of 90's-2000's 3D assets and aesthetics

i really really liked freerealms. idk if they ever ended up actually rewriting that one at all. i know there was freerealms sunrise but i recently learned they r alll just kind of lying to everyone about it ans havent rlly been working on it at all. i liked barbiegirls as well if that counts. i havent heard of those other two though they sound interesting from what i google

[honajoong]

Go ahead and pancake my day.

i used to watch my dad play IV and V all the time. i even played some a bit as a kid. we had the 360, so for IV, we also had the dlc with the two other protagonists.

i miss the 360, but now i have the xbox one and can somehow play it on there (even if some of the controls don't work 😅)

🥞

Honestly those were the good times. I miss those days for sure.

I remember the trial world for Minecraft 🧎🏻‍♀️ I made so many of them because I wanted to make a mess of every one of them LMAO

But honestly I’ve been going down memory lane with some games lately!

Pirates of the Caribbean online…

Toontown…

And hopefully Freerealms soon 🥹

What else did you play growing up??
