kinda basic but truly what a fun game. I dabbled in a lot of those multiplayer websites when I was wayyy too young (parents didn’t care abt internet restriction; I’m the youngest child in my fam) but this was just the best. My brother and I used to wait until midnight on holidays to see what the drops would look like. Learned vaguely about sex and bullying and surfing, as much as the website allowed at least. My friend the other day sent me a meme that had a pic of the lighthouse and I felt genuine nostalgia. When it shut down, I dabbled in the legacy ”mod” and have been thinking about getting back into it 🤔 a trip down memory lane!

my only regret in life is that i never acquired a rare puffle

We had so much fun on websites like these when we were kids. It's really scary to think that kids don't have equivalents to these anymore because they felt so formative to our socialization. Did anyone else roleplay as a baby (pookies) and try to get adopted in the puffle shop? Club Penguin, Animal Jam, Moshi Monsters, Stardoll, Poptropica, Weeworld, and many more: may you rest in peace.

i was truly a child of the internet, and chronically online, I cannot narrow it down so adding these:
• poptropica
• miniclip -- specifically raft wars
• club penguin
• neopets
• moshi monsters
• cartoon network games -- specifically the my gym partner is a monkey and the Billy and Mandy games
• the disney website games
• stardoll -- so simple but so addictive
• moshi monsters
• purple palace
• myscene
my weekends literally consisted of cycling through all these websites for hours
