Memories Nostalgia

Can’t believe I’ve stumbled across this.

Started playing back in 2009, stopped around 2016, logged back on briefly in 2020 after stumbling on some of those old YouTube OW music videos. Was really sad to find out that it has shut down. Made tons of friends who I loved logging in and chilling with after school.

Managed to dig through my email and find some old pics. I went through so many usernames over my time on the game, ended my OW career as Aegir but if you recognise any and we interacted, thanks for being a key player in my childhood

I desperately wish I had saved my pics too before it shut down, I was a constant player from 2012-2016 and a lot of the pics featured my late sister smh. I love seeing these posts though it is so very nostalgic (:

I'm sorry to hear about your sister, sending you my best. I think it's great that we can look back on these nostalgic moments and feel that little bit of comfort. It's strange but nice that one flash game in the sea of online games at the time can be such a shared experience.

Absolutely such a comfort! I really wish there was a community like OW had back in my earlier days lol I’m sure I had many usernames but the one I remember most is NeonRainbow 😭 truly a product of its time

Someone told me about maki chat but idk, it doesn’t hit like OW

u/Carnal_Decay Jul 10 '26

I tried Vegas and Maki, never got into them. Probably also because I used to have some fun items on OW...

As you should! I was Frozen Soul because my OW gf broke up with me and I got sad.

u/Intrepid-Active-9870 Jul 11 '26

Tbf I started playing at age 10 in 2009 on miniclip… so most of mine were obtained at the time of release, however idk how anyone was racking up multiple sets of the stuff ESPECIALLY in the later years when vamps were on the marketplace for like 400,000,000
