Secrets classroom nostalgia

Hello everyone. I just wanted to cherish with you the good old ow days. I am 20 now an coming back to ow after 2 years I must admit it was a let down... And I cried about it. But that brought me back to 2014 to 2016 maybe I don't remember exactly. To a very special moment in ow. If any of you remember secret's condo with the class room where a bunch of us used to gather and play high school... Then suddenly one day after months ppl stopped going there. I remember the fashion shows, how the members sneaked us tourists into the beach area. I remember the drama the adoptions the job interviews, I remember the ice skating and us playing dj. Man I miss those days. Ow used to be my escape from reality. It used to bring me joy but now everytime I log in I wanna cry. All ppl do is cry for gems and gifts... It feels dead. If any of you used to chill in secrets classroom I would love to know. I wasn't someone important and didn't make any close friends and I probably don't remember any specific person cut they were a lottt of us but I wouldlove to hear someone else's story about that place too. Actually today I met to ppl on ow who actually were around those days and used to go there and I got so happy you know like a light that never goes out... And it all started with this damn event by secret about come to my school... And people went nuts. We would go around parties and tell ppl to visit secrets condo and how fun it was and it really was and even tho it ended im glad it happened. It's not an even that happened in real life, it happened in a digital world but it was so amazing and full of warmth and nice people it actually managed to stay with me after all those years... All in all I miss 2015 ow... I hope it gets fixed I hope the Magic comes back.

never actualy went to those parties(not a party person, prefer 1 on 1 talking) but i remember hearing about those pretend school things all the time back in the day, i waz the weirdo that stood alone in catacombs or did those "glitches" where u stand behind rocks at the beach with just head sticking out, or "flying" across wonderland but yea, now a days it's mostly greedy brats or horn dogs, it's sad.. i miss alot my friends also but almost everyone quit years ago..

I went there, but not really during the events xDD

I remember when the OWGod's were roaming the soon-to-be deserted OW islands. Days would go on, and on while conversations filled my mind before bed. "I wonder if jeremyfp will ever love me?" ... Or, "Muzic4Life is so good a critter derby!". Well I remember the feeling of having spent a large portion of my early teen years on this simulated world, and yet, I am happy I did. My life need a sort of distracted, I know we all had our reasons why we created an account in a world filled with thousands of others. During events back in the day, I would whisper guys with Adison hair, and talk to girls wearing the skull beanie or basically anyone with a cute sprite. Items in 2012 I had to work for, and save! It took me a long while to earn 300Mil for Fiend Eyes and they remain the most expensive item I've owned. (vamps are like 24 gems rn in threads) I loved hosting HUGE fashion shows, I loved playing Poker Cabana with all the daily regulars during 2018. I even still log in, and start up uplifting convos or try to start something exciting. I like going to different places and whispering someone who seems left out, or just atleast quiet. Overall I am happy of our community we all joined without even truly knowing we were building a social web.

Not necessarily on the topic of OP, but it's close enough.

I remember back when oWMV's were huge and it seemed that everyone was making them. I mean, even I made a lot of music videos from 2009 to 2016 or so. I remember when ourWorld held contests for Halloween and people submitted YouTube videos to enter as well as going to Sideshow in The Boardwalk to watch YouTube videos with friends. When the staff ran Web Hunts (if anyone remembers those, you're old) and also had the Bejeweled store. Or when over time the devs added new islands into oW, and then later on introduced DownWorld as a standalone game, which was amazing. Or before Crews were official you'd see people with TR or oWGods or any other popular crew then in their names. OurWorld, at least back in the day, honestly had a lot of impact for me, as it sort of filled a gap in my life. I met a lot of fantastic people, made a lot of memories, you name it. It's honestly a very bittersweet feeling that, while ourWorld is on the major decline, I'm not necessarily upset that oW will soon cease to exist, but I'm thankful that I was around to be part of the experience. I'm not really on oW much anymore as work takes up a lot of my time, but I make up for it by somewhat lurking on Zendesk and this forum board.

We've come a very long way, and I think no one should be upset about where oW is today. Don't be sad because it'll be gone soon; smile because it happened.

If I could find a good equivalent to Windows Movie Maker, I would still be making them more often.
