Does anyone remember the thrill of receiving that new mail notification after sending a trade offer on an item you really wanted? I used to trade so many items in exchange for a single item, haha.

[xXChloeKissXx]

genuinely think of this game like 3 times a year.
was my main virtual world growing up and I miss it a lot. spent a lot of actual money on it at one point lol.
miss the hangs and meeting new people.

[DezzyD]

I miss OurWorld! Test-mode 42, cryptobiologist

[Malphasth]

Man I miss OurWorld. That game was so fun

[meowiemiko]

i miss playing ourworld after school, good times

[svgstarlight]

the fashion in ourworld seriously remains the best i’ve seen in any online game

[Bilan]

I remember accidentally going on my mom's work computer as an elementary schooler and hopping on this game in secret because I was addicted to the fashion, getting free gems, the cafe, cakes, etc. It was so fun!! I am 21 now and I miss it dearly

[NightPain]

Honestly as someone who played our world, there was weird, dodgy roleplay. You just gotta know where to find it

[error.]

Games had never made me nostalgic as ourworld

[Lahoolahay]

I remember towards the end they let everyone have the cool items you always wanted as a kid. All those crazy rude traders were pissed lol. There also was crazy hacking of accounts on the Downloaded browser

I was playing football with my friends back in 2010 when he told mi lets go an eat by him so I went he came back with his computer instead and introduced mi to this game from that Saturday morning i was so in love with this game wi nvr stop playing until we finished high school it was the best online game in our childhood growing up

[angelnieto]

Great game, I hope one day it comes back, I played it in 2014 and reached level 120.
I still remember my friends and family in that game, I was almost bad at English.
My favorite game was the restaurant, and the house events, I also liked going to see the user avatars in the contests.

[arifsyah]

Im a veteram ow player, first of all sorry if i had bad grammar english is not my main language. I can confirm the hacker jesse is definitely a bad actor. Her/his name was infamous back then, people used to fear hearing a conversation about her, shes like a parasite in the game! Im one of her victims by getting my account banned just by simply trolling her. One of my friends say that if you irritate her she will just ban you just for being rude? Next, People praised her alot because what ive heard traders usually stayed close to her for protection or either glazing her for free exclusive stuff that she can give. She can make multiple accounts or i think clones of an existed user with all their items and appearances and can also mimic their movements. Lastly, I've heard rumors she has been posting personal nudes to her his friends.

It's sad how it came to this but i had to let the og ow fans know about this,
Im certain she is the reason ow went down

[purpleunicornx]

In ourworld i havw so many memories. First if u guys remember the clan "ow gods" which was so over hyped 😂😂 then the owners of that clan bubbles & blossom too much drama!! Then primcess lola who used to give free gems that was so fun😂

[knives.]

FINALLY!!!!
You totally beat to me to making a video about this game. It was one of the best online virtual experiences besides MSP I ever had.
Still can't get over how much of a solid aesthetic it had. Nothing compares nowadays and I'm achingggg for something.
I'd like to get into game dev and make my own virtual world one day. Especially if they don't make Ourworld 2.0 by then 🙄.

Also the IMVU slander is killing me. As an avid IMVU player I completely get it though..

[Allizt]

I used to play ourworld a lot back then around 2017-2019, I made a really close friend from ourworld. We chatted a lot back then but I suddenly stopped playing the game cause all I did mostly was trading things, I never saw them again and I’m still kinda sad that I never asked for her social media accounts to keep touch with her plus the pictures I have with my friends in ow are gone because the email messages got corrupted. It was really a fun game with a smallish community, even met some ytbers before.

[cozman]

Dude I seriously hope in some way OurWorld can come back, I regret not playing it in its final years as I was active during 2014-2018 🥲

[biuliu]

Me playing vegas world not for the gambling aspect but the slim nostalgia of ourworld..

[pocket]

I’ve thought about this game off and on for many years. I used to play this everyday. I was level 100+. It was to hard to keep track after awhile. I loved all the hidden stuff. Such as all the npc shop characters had their own apartments and gardens that you could go to. And you could interact with them there and buy stuff for their places. I used to go to the goth guys shops apartment all the time. Was his name Edwin?I also loved the fashion contests and drawing contests.

It is true that some of prices were in marketplace for impossible prices. And I tried to complete all of the Halloween collections. I remember having a blood dripping full moon and an organ.

I had some great friends on there. And meet a guy I really cared about. Miss you Morg, and devilmaycry, and angelusin, and Dan Danzig . Miss you all,

ughhhh i LOVED our world! i was frustrated by how limited i was as a girl avatar with no membership so i switched to a boy account and had way more fun! i just got on there to start drama tbh. get as many girlfriends as i can and balance them all without somehow running into one of them while im on a date at the dinner
