I remember having two accounts with characters that looked like twins ( same outfits just swapped colors ) and going to a chat room and switching tabs to make it seem like they were telepathically finishing each others sentences. Freaked out a lot of people. Simpler times.
gotta say the worst thing is like kids and teenages posting pictures of themselves publicly on the photo bit. for MSP to allow that is a pretty serious misjudgement imo
The “according to Facebook, the merch was pretty well received” paired with a single comment that just says “cool” made me giggle a bit louder than I’d like to admit
“I met Lana Del Rey” was truly snubbed at the Oscar’s. It’s really a surrealist interpretation of being desensitized through expectation of engagement, a riveting cinematic masterpiece.
on swedish msp there was a really popular series called "When an Angel falls" (När en ängel faller). I was a series about an angel who got accused of letting monsters into heaven, so she got her wings taken away and was sent down to earth. She befriends two humans and together they try to find out who let the monsters into heaven. The show had 56 parts and got over thousands and thousands of views and I remember going to school like "Did you guys see the new episode!!". It was weird and had a very dramatic plot, I think it ended with the mc straight up murdering the one who actually let the monsters into heaven. The good ol days
omigod i remember that, i never really got into msp since it wasnt as fun as the other online games to me, but i remember friends talking about it a lot, looking back, the concept was actually really good but obviously not well executed since it was through msp lmao
on dutch msp there was a 100+ ep series about a werewolf teen and the creator was the highest level player for a long time he also had another long series about a singing competition or something
i'm a long time MSP vet and here are some stories i have: * the first time i got VIP was when i stole my sisters paypal info * i was friends with pumpchkin for a few months (im p sure she cycled between her friend requests a lot, i was just lucky) * there was a glitch for a while that could let you wear peoples "looks" without having to buy the clothes * the amount of anonymous accounts that spanned over that fateful week... * i was friends with an MSPtuber who was completely awful. she got mad at me for replicating her outfit and made a couple of videos on me. she also claimed she got hacked a lot. shed make so many MSP accounts with full star VIP, only for that account to be "hacked" within a day. idk man * one time this girl threatened to report my account if i didn't tell her what periods were
As an ex MSP youtuber I can say that MSP youtube was a mess. The amount of drama that happened between youtubers is crazy, child influencers would send their child audiences to make fun of other youtubers. Yourlivingnightmare was a big example of this and often made fun of Princess games which resulted in Princess Games' house getting swatted whilst she was only 14.
Oh wow, I was never aware of that. I was friends with them and I did often watch their videos but I didn’t know fans actually got their house swatted for that😓
do u not remember what she did to piinksparkles0818?? she doxxed ava for absolutely no reason at all, she hired some creep on the dark web to leak her school, address, parents emails, numbers, THEIR JOBS EMAILS etc she definitely was not innocent don't spread fake news
As someone who played A LOT of moviestarplanet in their childhood, I do still tend to revisit it every now and then. The most recent time I revisited it I decided to watch some of my old movies and while I was very dedicated when it came to creating those mini series, my dedication did not help the quality 😭😭
As someone who was once an "MSP UA-camr" - msp was WILD, like a lot went on not only in the game but also In the community, but nonetheless, I do not regret anytime I spent playing/creating content using the game. It's what set me up for becoming a UA-camr, so it will forever play a huge part in my life.. It's a shame that msp 2 has, well, "flopped" but unfortunately that's expected to happen with the limited updates. But I'm sure people would agree that even though the original game had it's many issues, it will still forever hold some form of a good memory.
What cracks me up was this was supposed to be a LANGUAGE LEARNING EDUCATIONAL GAME!! LMAO so much drama! There really is no one more over dramatic than tween girls. I should know I was one and when I was 12 I once spent a whole weekend crying because this girl in my friend group, who I didn't even like that much, said my pants were ugly. (tbh they were ugly lmao) but I remember feeling like it was the end of the world.
Do you remember that rumor about that one Hacker girl that would appear on the front screen and steal ur password? (Nvm I just saw it at 9:38 LOL, the "creepypasta" hacker!!)
I had an absolutely terrifying experience on Movie Star Planet as a kid. I had made a friend in a room and we had bonded over being sarcastic and making fun of other players who e-dated, but out of the blue one day she described the Moors murders (real murders that took place in the 1960s) to me and claimed that she had done them. I was so scared and couldn't sleep that night until my mum calmed me down and explain what had happened.
honestly the movie editor is what gave me a love for animating and now im looking into university with good animation programs. insane what a game would do to you as a child
i played Animal Jam religiously and i was so proud of how my character looked-- it was a wolf with a dark pattern and i always had it wearing a bow and the phantom gauntlets. I would get so mad when people said "you look like a guy" bc i didnt wanna have a femme character. Lo and behold, years later, turns out im an androgynous lesbian lmao These games really told us everything we needed to know about ourselves YEARS before we figured out.
The thing about MSP dating is that there was an actual game feature where you could make a person your official bf or gf. Like, there was a heart icon and everything. The game makers were encouraging it, very bizarre and very weird
I remember playing MSP with my little brother as a child and being thrilled when we finally got a bf/gf (can't even remember which at this point). A bit weird, looking back...
I used to be so obsessed with rare items I found an exploit using charles proxy in the design studio to glitch my self all of them back in 2015 on multiple accounts. THIS GAME WAS MY EVERYTHING!!!
I was one of the Danish kids who got to play it in class while learning English in 2009/10. I remember we did everything to convince our English teacher that it was actually educational, even though everything we did on the site was in Danish. Back then you legit couldn't do ANYTHING if you weren't VIP, because it was almost impossible to earn star coins. So the bullying based on your clothes was even more rampent. The guys with VIP were the cool kids in class, the rest of us were outcast. It was pretty wild, but luckily something that got better with time when MSP made star coins more common. 😅
Do y’all remember the user “Pumpkin” that got a lot of views on her videos or is it just me?😭😭😭 Edit: nvm I continued watching the video and it was pumpchkin but her videos used to be so good🤣🤣😭
fun fact about highscorers: alot of them are actually adults. thats why they are able to afford to spend loads of money on the game and thus gain popularity. a friend of mine's parents were really into it
yup. made me want to beg my parents constantly to buy vip because I couldn’t keep up as a kid lmao. coming to find out the only reason they were able to keep up was because they were literal adults
I've only had one experience with MSP. Back when I was in college, I was eating lunch in the café on campus, and this girl was using one of the computers in the café to play MSP. From what I overheard, she had just been scammed and was trying to get all her rare items back.
I think I played this game for like a day in middle school but my only real impression of it is that I knew a girl in high school who was SUPER into it. One time when she was at my house she spent hours just showing me all her clothes and stuff and trying to convince me to play it. Like 6 months later I found out from another friend who ended up at the same college as her that she'd been arrested for committing credit card fraud at work lmao which is not related but somehow it fits the vibe
this site was MASSIVE back when i was in middle school. everyone at school, including many of the boys, all had very active msp accounts. it was our main way of communicating. I think a large part of this was the fact that it was one of the only sites like this that got translated into our language, so the kids were actually able to use it despite not knowing any english.
YEP. Every girl on my elementary school class had an account. I've probably poured a ridiculous amount of hours into this game :,D Suomalainen MSP oli/on jostain syystä varsin viehättävä. Pelin kehnot käännökset ja taivutusmuodot, virheellinen sensuuri (muistaisin sanan "kiitos" korvattavan risuaidoilla) sekä hyvin pienen skaalan julkkikset yhdistämässä kouluikäisiä pentuja.
@@kurkkupastillitjalammintee 100%!! Msp oli vissiin ainoa tällänen sivu suomen kielellä nii ei ihmekkään et se oli niin suosittu haha. Mutta olihan niitä hulluja (minä) jotka pelasi mm. Moshi Monstersia ja Animal Jamia enkuks ja olin ihan hukas LOL
once met this girl on moviestar planet called like vip queen and kinda entered her social circle for a while. i was a depressed 9yo who probably should not have been on that cesspool but whatevs ! i remember vip queen always had an issue and i was basically her therapist friend, and one time at like 11pm she told me she had run away from home because her mum died and her dad was mean. i GAVE HER DIRECTIONS TO MY GRANDMAS HOUSE and she told me my grandma adopted her. by the way, half of this conversation happened on public artbooks because the chats closed at midnight. then a few weeks later she told me her dad died and she was now in a care home. then someone messaged me on her account saying she died. then the friendgroup blamed me for being a bad therapist. then 2 weeks later she changed her status to "friend [new account]" and didnt respond. she did not die. I have no idea what was happening with this girl sobs
Reminds me of my friends online ex. His dad came in yelling during a video chat, and after that he basically made it seem like his dad had killed him in a fit of rage, a few days later he messaged her 'from the hospital' saying he was okay but that his dad had thrown him down the stairs and he hit his head. My friend and I tried to convince him to run away cross country and she actually offered to use all her birthday cash from the last years to bus him to us. Then a few weeks later he broke up with her, sent all her stuff back in the mail, and faked his own sewer cide. We were so screwed up for weeks until another one of our friends found his new facebook. Turns out he had been dating a new girl at home and wanted to break up but was too chicken shit to admit why. Still have no idea how much of his story was fake.
I met a girl on there when I was about 10 who told me both her parents died and she looks after her little sister by herself. A lot of people just wanted attention on the game 😭😂
For some reason this seems pretty common in certain internet circles. Back when I was younger and trying to make friends in cosplay social circles, I encountered 2 incidents of cosplayers “dying”. And these specific individuals had a pretty decent followings on insta. The one posted she’d been hospitalized for like medical reasons, and then made a follow up post (posing as her sibling) and relaying to people that she had passed. People figured out through checking the metadata in the geo tags in the photos she has posted, that she was not posting from a hospital. And a little bit later, a new account popped up with her face all over it. She just like killed off herself and then started a new insta? It was wild. I guess the moral of the story is that kids and young teens do some very bizarre things without thinking about the impact on those they interact with.
@@Fandomsaremylifee one of my core memories is playing msp whilst the london 2012 olympics were playing in the bg and im literally being wacked in the face with nostalgia 😭😭😭
I used to be DEEEEEP into the "rare" trading market, and actually managed to acquire quite an impressive collection, but most of it was nullified when MSP started doing the "rare weeks" which crashed the market. 12 year old me was quite annoyed. And I also remember when the MSP admins edited quite many items to make them less "risque". One of my favourite items as a kid was the tube top that said "Censored" (inspired by Rihannas S&M video), but at some point it was altered to say "Sweetie" instead. Quite the downgrade IMO. Every (older) fishnet and ripped item was also edited to have a purple stocking underneath so the character wouldn't be "naked" underneath, which made the items really ugly unless you changed the colour of the purple thing. Many animations were also changed to be more safe (the most violent ones being outright removed), the knife pose animation was changed to have a frying pan instead. I have an embarassingly vast knowledge of MSP clothing items from 2012-2016, I can pretty much identify all items from that era and know from what specific theme they were. Not my proudest achievement but younger me LOVED all the different customisation possibilities on MSP. And did anyone else try using the exploit to acquire "boy clothes" using Charles proxy (in like 2013)? I remember feeling like a cool hacker when all I was doing was viewing the HTTP traffic on my computer 😭. I had a person on my friends list who actually got it to work somehow and gave me some of the glitched items, it was pretty cool.
I was obsessed with rare trading for years omg! I was hoping she’d go more into detail abt the rare community was a bit bummed when she brushed over it, bc after like 2015/16 rt was like the absolute biggest part of the community, I still have my acct w all my rares on it that never sold >-
HOLY FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT CHARLES PROXY 😭😭😭 i used a different technique to get vip/boy clothes,, it was a glitch where using a different account u make a look for yourself then a look you want to get and then click a bunch of times altering between the two looks until you could glitch into wearing the vip/boy outfit 😭😭😭 i also remember making alt accs where i would use the "hack by lisa" (honestly the only hack that actually worked for me) and you could get a bunch of money and level up the acc but it would get banned after like 6-10 minutes so i hurried up and did my wishlist 😭
Oh my god, i started playing after the Samantha era, I had no idea that's why Pixi had all those clothes in her inventory. I used to make movies with her in it and I genuinely believed the alternate wardrobe was there so you could give pixi a villain arc lmao
Every time I think that Izzy has finished covering every single virtual world she used to play, she breaks out another. Truly grateful she spent all this time in the trenches so that she could bring us these experiences firsthand
Actually I think pumpchkin was only popular in US servers since I've never heard of her. For me, RotiKhaase was the absolute number one celebrity within the MSP community (and actually she has 80k subscribers on UA-cam, more than pumpchkin). She also had a series of movies called 'Damaged' which were very good, a long running relationship drama centered around domestic abuse
I'm a children's author and I once had an uncle tell me that he liked the movie they made of my books. I was baffled, but he explained it was like a cartoon he'd seen online. So we did some searching and it turned out it was one of these 😂
Does anyone else remember that “little sister” character that was in the game. When I got a vip-membership for the first time one of the first things I did was buy her and put her in my house. After a while I also found out that there was an animation were you held her hand. I made sure to get it as quickly as possible. I called her Julia and made up this whole story about how my avatar had gone to earth and landed right next to a road during a car crash were she saved a baby from dying and then proceeded to adopt that baby and bring her to movie star planet as the parents had died in the car crash. There was a little brother too but I wasn’t as invested in him but I did buy the animation were you tuck him in and I called him Eric.
i made my mom pay $13 every month just for the vip membership 😭 i remember for my 10th birthday she bought me the 1 year star vip membership and i was so happy
This game always reminds me about how spoiled I was as a kid after I've heard about how many parents refused to buy their children even the cheapest VIP cause my mom let me buy the Star VIP for 1 week every month but two times I've got too greedy and without her permisson i bought the VIP for 1 month and I lied about where the money go but she didin't believe me and she knew that I spend on the VIP for 1 month but suprisingly she wasn't that angry, but hey at least I've got Jury lol
Same!! And I couldn't even bring myself to ask my parents because at the time they weren't the kind to spend even a cent on any online purchase. Whenever I saw in game friends become VIP for the first time, I felt so so left out lol. I even looked for people who told me they'd make me VIP lol.
The culture around the Anonymous hacker was wild. The second you went into a cafe chat room and someone was dressed up like her with no visible username, people FREAKED OUT. I remember making an ‘anonymous hacker hunting’ acc💀. I used to message the people with the anonymous username like I was doing God’s work. It got so bad that I’m pretty sure MSP blocked the word from even being said/used in usernames.
I used to have one of those accounts but I wasn't on it for long. The last time I went on it, a bunch of deleted users with the Unknown Female outfit started sending friend requests. I was so scared that I had to get my dad to check our computer 😅
I used to play religiously when I was 8 to around 10! This was 2011 to 2013 so I witnessed the peak of it all, being in the USA server. Nostalgia aside I'm gonna list some things which were very prevalent: -Fear mongering. Hackers, creepypasta content and that "Dolly" thing, all threatening to take your account, find where you live and get to you. -E-seggs. Not even kidding. There was a lot of it, in player's houses where they would use animations for...yeah. -Completely unmonitored communities. Given that the censorship was only available for English and that the USA and UK server had players from all around the world, people that could speak the same language could just say the most disturbing shit possible and never get banned because they didn't speak in English. -Scamming. Given we were all children it was quite easy to get scammed. I scammed like 5+ accounts by telling other kids to switch their e-mail to mine and then I'd get their account. -Literal Instagram for children. EVERYONE in my school used MSP, your ranking in game actually reflected your social life in school and it was crazy how we would meet up in school and talk about a game all the time.
wild how that was pretty much my exact experience with roblox when i was younger. (i was big into it around 2016/2017) we even had legends like john doe, the online dating, the intense transphobia/racism/homophobia, bullying noobs and guests, horrible moderation, all of it. nobody learned much, i guess lol.
As a msp veteran i used to play this game everyday after school. I played it during its peak, and seeing a bunch of people at the same time, chatting with my friends( and glitching/lagging) was a big part of my childhood. Id mine starcoins for days so i could but that one outfit. I kinda forgot about the more toxic parts, the game was a little messy and now that i think ab it, moderation shouldve been WAAY BETTER for a kids game. A lot of things stayed online that should’ve been taken down-
Yepp I really miss my MSP friends too I had a bunch of them I’d always be excited to hop on and talk to them everyday I’d spend HOURSSS insane amount of hours on MSP I miss it so much 😭😭
I'm from Poland and the game was huge here, back in the day. The bullying was and probably always will be a problem there, I just never really was into the whole chatting feature though. The most traumatic memory I have with the whole site is me showing the launcher (log-in) page to my mom, to explain her what the game was about to possibly convince her to buy a VIP membership for me. Luck had it that one of these scrolling outfit displays was halloween themed, and one character had a bloody axe in their head, and my mother pointed it out. I swear to god i didn't notice it before, and when she pointed it out, I felt like i just got jumpscared. 💀I still vaguely remember this exact character to this day, he was dressed whole in white with some red accessories and this damn axe 💀💀
Mt strongest memories of this is #1 making like 15 other accounts just to farm stuff for my main one #2 Designing clothes #3 The same video being played everytime you entered the Cinema #4 A disturbing theme of teen pregnancy in the movies #5 Me having a real bad case of not-like-other-girls for not wanting VIP. I remember 'roasting' the popular girl in my class in 5ft grade for having VIP. Noone got my point cuz children are stupid and I was also a child, but I felt so cool.
moviestarplanet was truly an addiction for me. it used to be intensely chaotic back then with the endless bullying in chatrooms, hackers literally everywhere, and the constant need for starcoins, but i enjoyed every second of it. but if there's ONE game that i truly loved playing 24/7 as a kid, it would definitely have to be bearville. oh my god, that was the elite build-a-bear workshop virtual world that literally no one i know has ever heard of. that game was my LIFE. woke up early every single morning to steal my mom's computer and sit in the living room with it for hours just buying clothes, listening to cody simpson songs, playing minigames, and having the best adventures. although it wasn't exactly controversial, it was a still a really memorable game and i'm forever upset that they shut it down.
I LOVED THAT GAME!! i remember frantically searching my house for the bear's "birth certificate" since you needed the code on there to be able to play. the minigames were honestly sooo fun i would probably still play them today if i remembered my account info
ugh me too I am so sad they shut it down 😭 there are some fans working on a remake, and they have a demo with two mini games out right now, but they haven’t posted any updates on yt in a year unfortunately. hope they finish it
I’m glad you discussed this, because I was beginning to think it was just a fever dream. I mainly just used it to go into chat rooms and ruin peoples’ relationships. I was a normal nine year old.
my account gullible 9 year self gave some girl my password cause she said she would give me vip hacked me and i kid u not i was crying proceeding to make a whole new account saying i got hacked in a pitch black room and all you could see if the laptop screen and now im here playing msp2 but its still a working progress but it will never compare to the original msp with the games, youtube, drama in the chat rooms i miss it
I played a lot of MovieStar Planet when I was younger, especially in 4th grade lol. As much as there was bad, I can solidly say that it was my life saver during 4th. I can't speak for all but I feel like a large part of the MSP fanbase was either actually popular kids and then the really lonely unpopular, even bullied, kids. Falling into the later half definitely defined my experience on the game but I'm glad I had it then. Going to school only to feel lonely and separate from everyone in my school to the point of bullying then getting to go home and be who I wanted to be and talk to my friends online was amazing. It's sad to see MSP 2 flop but I'm glad to get to experience MSP when I did.
i had such a similar experience! it was so good to come home from school and just be in my own little world on my laptop with friends i would wait for when they came online!
@@amyneve2675 omg yeah it was so fun :( and a lot of people were active back then so the chatrooms were always busy, unlike nowadays where it's so dead in chatrooms and we all grew up so less of us play it :(
It was actually really common for MSP and AJ AMV makers to “replicate” each others editing “styles,” which caused a lot of drama between the communities. 👍 As an old animal jam movie maker
OH YEAH i got a decent amount of views by making "paintings" with objects in that... collage... type... thing... it was funny as heck getting a bunch of "wait how'd you do that" comments
I never played any of these MMOs when I was a kid and you don’t realise how appreciative I am to live vicariously through these videos and absorb all the drama I missed lmao
Girl, the amount of money i probably spent on this game absolutely terrifies me, i remember when i was 9 my mums card was still saved on checkout, so i bought 2 years of VIP (the diamond one) twice and when i say my mum killed me… As she should
as a polish person, MSP was _huge_ over here. Any time in elementary when the IT teacher let us get a break we'd all log in simultaneously to grind up money, make fun of each others' fashion sense, make strange movies, or try and co-op the catwalk. I remember mostly just making movies and scrapbook posts about Dumb Ways To Die with my childhood best friend, and one time when the class bully scammed me out of a scarf so hard that me and my friends told on her to the teacher 😭 I think it's also the only website I've ever gotten close to being groomed on so the lack of moderation and safety measures was really something lmao
You guys had IT in elementary?? I would've loved that i bet. In the US (or at least where I went to school) only had basic academics and some time set aside for extra subjects (like art and music). We did have "computer day", but that was mostly to do work for our basic class stuff When we did get extra free time on the computer, most kids were too obsessed with Cool Math games and Poptropica to play MSP lmao.
@@confusedaf1112 oh we had wyspagier as well for THAT crazy but uh Yea no the IT class ranged from making your first ever presentations, to basic coding, to making a very simple website and an animation one time?? Which me and my friend never stopped fucking around with lmao A lot of the time though we had to learn coding through this program called Baltie and long story short we all learned to hate that wizard
@@confusedaf1112 honestly, the IT in poland is mostly drawing holiday cards in paint and writing holiday wishes in word. Gets really old after a month, and we have that for like... 8 grades. Fun!
Played this game, it was fun while it was still popular. It was fun with everyone hanging out on Pumpchkin’s room. Also, shout out to Anonymous, Miss Filly, Dolly, and all those other “hackers” who made the game exciting.
There was a small group of kids who were OBSESSED with this game in my intermediate school (year 7 & 8). I got one for secret Santa and gave her a membership and she was so happy it was really sweet
Aww. I remember a VIP popular girl in my class gifting me this gorgeous pink and blue ball gown once. I forgot the login details and was so super when I had to make a new account. Must've been 2012-13 because Gangnam Style was a thing. Good times
Im a danish woman who played as a child before the game had even been translated. I can say I had a huge nostalgia for this game and enjoyed all the chipmunkified music too much. sadly the biggest problem i encountered in my days were the large amount of creeps and predatorswho wanted your facebook
Dude, I LOVED msp and honestly am still emotionally attached to it. I remember literally looking up “real credit card numbers that work” because I wanted VIP so badly. Ofc they never worked (and I was looking at google images sooooo…) but, I would get so much hate on it bc I wasn’t vip. Honestly it exposed me to very harsh language and made me lose trust in the game at a young age. I remember scraping real life change like pennies n shit so I could give the real life money to my dad in exchange for 5$ off his credit card. They always said no. Recently I went back and it’s a shell of what it used to be. Nobody bothers to vip anymore bc it’s all trolls. Sad, some of my best memories were made on msp.
I used to ask my parents like that too and they said no for a good 2 years then finally cracked and let me buy it. I had straight A's so that was my reward. I was vip for 3 months and the first thing I bought was the ugly furry boots. One time I was perminately locked for no reason on my backup account after I bought one month vip for Christmas. Customer service was 0 help and I cried for a week about it.
DUDE I DID THE SAME THING ABOUT THE CREDIT CARDS... i actually wasn't bullied, i made some pretty good friends and loved making movies but yeah now it's just not the same. kinda miss it though
I was sooo obsessed with this game, I did the exact same thing with creditcards and vip hacks and they never worked. Bought myself some vip last year to give it some closure kinda sad that the game is pretty much dead rn
stop the dolly lore was so deep , this game consumed me in that 2012 era , the way they got us to spend on vip n clothes n shi 😭i still log in every few years to reminisce
As someone who played between the years 2010-2012 on the german server, I vividly remember the movies being really popular! There would be whole shows with up to 20-30 episodes and multiple seasons and people were really invested and even I had my fair share of popular series that I made Another thing were the movie contests, so like every month I think there would be a contest where you could submit a movie that you made which had to fit a certain theme and include some words or phrases, like say if the theme was Halloween, your movie should feature the word pumpkin or stuff like that and in the earlier years the movies you submitted HAD to be in english, though after a while they changed that, and like,,,,,,,I get that most people were in elementary or middle school (me included) but some of the english was just soooo bad :'')
I used to play this waaaay too much back in around 2013~2016. I've started playing again recently and kinda honestly miss these kinda games. MSP is sooo toxic compared to most other MMORPGs of the time, but I guess it just comes with the territory. One of my biggest memories is making movies titled "Crazy Tuesday" and the punchline was always "LOL AND IT HAPPENED ON TUESDAY!"
as much as i enjoyed my time on msp, i have to admit the game is truly a mess. from most of the first page highscorers on the US server being exposed as in their 30s to a mod i personally knew who would protect certain high level players, personally promote and engage in cheats/exploits, lock people out who disagreed with them, and literally threaten other players with pictures of knives (LMAOO like who is msp hiring ???) i gotta say i’m not that surprised by how dead the game is now. but regardless, the game gave me so many amazing opportunities, long lasting friendships, and even shaped me into who i am today. so for that i’m thankful.
no one will ever understand the hype unless they played this game during its peak, it was absolutely brilliant. I’ve had my account since 2012 and it was such an escape coming home and playing with random people who i’ve now made friends with till this day. I turn 18 this year and i will always thank this game as it was there for me during the hardest parts of my childhood. I even had a youtube channel ( i privated all the videos it was so embarrassing 😭). In 2020 they permanently banned my account and i still have no reason why, i’ve sent so many emails but they always reply withh no explanation. It’s a shame the games went to shit but i guess kids these days aren’t the same as we were. I love this game and i hope one day a new generation will get to experience a game like msp
I never really played it mainly because I wasn’t the target audience but I remember getting lots of ads at the time for it on my tv and I couldn’t escape it
A social caste system revolving around how much money you spend on virtual world memberships and exclusive items is exactly why we have adults bragging about owning NFTs 😂
Zwinky, Meez Nation, Club Cooee, IMVU, Ourworld, Secondlife. All these games basically foreshadowed our future. Where what you wear and how much money you spend determines how many friends you get and your status. Sounds dystopian.
One of the strangest things I've remembered about MSP is the weird NSFW sketchbook/journals (whatever they were called) that were rampant at the time I played... I'll never forget the weird shaped ... You know.. the moderation was something else.
Yknow MSP should of released a doll line because “buying fashions and dress your characters up” like you said were a main thing for the site and I would of loved seeing how they would of translate the game fashion into an actual piece of fabric Also I like to hc that Pixie star is just Samantha’s stage name and look
this gives me SUCH nostalgia!! as a danish kid literally every school break was spent getting verbally abused and groomed by 19-year olds in the skatepark,, good times man
I remember actually trying to make ‘movies’ on there as a kid and being frustrated with the lack of effort others would put into it. Stock rock song, begging for stars, etc. I only had vip a couple of times but made sure to mainly invest in my movies like different backgrounds and songs rather than doing much dress up for my msp, think I only picked the bare minimum to not get bullied and mainly used my friends for actors. Surprisingly even with a limited budget on there if you put in the slightest bit of effort and continuity you’d be seen as a 10 year old Tarantino god director. Oh yeah and I would also try to give critique to others movies but would then get called poor. Overall great time
The movies were like the highlight of my childhood. I only got into them because of comps though bc earlier in the game it was an easy way to get free vip bc of a lack of competition
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodgr3435 IT WAS OF MY AVATAR WANTING TO GO TO A PARTY OR SM.. and Donald trump.. was hosting one already so she couldn’t go… and then Donald Trump invited I guess a bunch of dudes over and made out with Obama?! Idk it was something like that
Yeah I mean you can probably tell by my user name and profile that I love sims but I used to watch sims Mach I mama and then I came across that really disturbing one which I will not name cause it might traumatise some people which is a story about a certain mod . ( I’m not naming it in case children go look it up or it brings bad memories back for someone I don’t know ) but yeah sims series would be interesting considering the original creator is no longer apart of the making of the game anymore .
My best friend showed me this game when we were in middle school. I would go over to her house for a sleep over and we’d spend hours sitting on her dads computer doing dress up games and hanging out in chat rooms. At some point I made an account and started playing at home. I bought a VIP membership and everything and I watched pumpchkin series relentlessly. I also had a few rares before they temporarily added them back into the game. Also, those weird fluffy boots were the only shoes I ever wore. I had them in like, 20 different versions. And I remember the old boonies design becoming a rare when they added the new design and honestly the old ones were cuter. They looked more like puffles.
OH I remember when the old bonnies became rares! It was really funny, chatroom bullies used to make fun of me for having a non vip bonnie only to then turn around and be really jealous that I had a rare item. Kid me used to think that was peak karma lmao
As a German veteran MSP player I can say that everything you said also applies to German MSP...it was wild back then here as well...even anonymous and Dolly were a thing in German MSP...I think this shows again how quickly MSP developed and how big and international it became at the end...sometimes I miss those times...
I had a hater literally called “I hate” and then my username, almost all their messages were blacked out but I could understand several words like “kill yourself” but I think the reason I remember the story so well is from how I dealt with her, I sent her a friend request because I thought it would be funny
I've been waiting for this one, MSP was THE moment at my primary school. It was so messy I adored it (even after the school banned it saying it was for 12 year olds 😭). As for the longterm effect it had on me, I had two separate heterosexual weddings and still grew up to like men so decide for yourself.
omg the community center i used to go to in elementary school also banned the game because they found out people were e-dating and saw some inappropriate dms 💀💀💀
i remember how big this culture was in Poland, many "urban" legends, hackers, dramas, creeps, "celebrities", organized scams and hating on random people, ending on toxic forums... kinda terrifying looking at it now though- the fact i spent half of my childhood on this site makes me think deeper about my life tbh-
omg i remember polish msp server! i was soo engaged in the forum community i was lowkey popular there in 2020-2021. and i gotta say weird shit was going down not only on the forum itself. i've known some of the more popular forum users privately and there was so much drama, hatred, and many worse things. the community was extremely toxic and i'm glad it's almost dead these years
this game, though with its many faults, was truly one of the biggest parts of my childhood. i played it at its peak and i still have many fond memories of my time on it. the corny music videos, the yearning for vip, the constant drama between highscorers and the concerning amount of edating. crazy. i used to desperately want to be a "famous" movie star and would grind just to get 5 meek views on a short film, beg people for autographs, and spend hours farming staircoins by petting pets just to spend it on a terrible outfit 5 minutes later. again, crazy. there was so much drama too? i remember always being interested in the supposed rivalry between pump and mybeau and how everyone kinda chose a side (my choice was obviously mybeau. i once made a whole artbook discussing why pump was the devil because she didnt accept every single friend request or let lower leveled people onto her team LMAOO) and then there were hacker hunters, well-known youtubers, those extremely dramatic and inappropriate msp series that were shockingly well made.. moviestarplent truly was a different breed i had many MANY msp eras other than this, but probably the most memorable was when i was one of the editor types, and i can tell you that that community within itself is absolutely insane and way more than just corny couple edits. i got into it through a youtube tutorial on editing and it all went downhill from there. people would and still will formulate whole unique characters with traumatizing backstories and fully developed families. from glorified murderers to cheating spouses and somehow dying and being brought back to life, we really had it all with our big ass imaginations, and we took it way too seriously lol. i would spend hours upon hours editing an avatar into a character just to post it on instagram to progress their storyline further. the community isnt that great overall but it actually was beneficial for me creatively, and im so thankful that i had an outlet like it for so many years though i quit for good a few months back. i still visit msp from time to time and i can confirm that its just as it was a few years ago. a part of me even hopes it becomes one of those older games that rises in popularity again in the next coming years? thatd definitely be fun nice video by the way! it was super nice to revisit this part of my life once again :D
I started playing msp when I was like 6 and I stopped when I was like 13 (idk either, I was obsessed) I don't even know what I liked so much about it, I loved dressing up and talking to my friends, some were "big deals" on my server, like rotikhaase and tbh I don't know the rest of their names but I loved the game so so so much and although I realise how messed up it was now, I do miss it a lot and if I had the option to live those years again I would, it was euphoria
I grew up in Denmark and was a young tween in the early/mid 2010's, so I was pretty much the target demographic for msp. Let me tell you about some things I remember - Msp would censor words like 'number' in order to prevent e-dating. Msp players could easily get around it by typing it with a space in between each letter like 'can i get your n u m b e r?' - Bullying, trolls and comments/chats of sexual nature were sadly common. - I'm too young to remember msp being an educational website. In my time, it was just treated as another social media game. - Since this was the same era as the 'lyric videos' for popular songs, Msp lyric videos for songs popular in Denmark were commonplace, not only on msp but on youtube as well. - Creating a 'burner account' of a person of the opposite gender and trying to e-date and prank people was very common - Kids created slang around msp like asking 'what's the name of your moviestar?' or 'see you on movie' when saying goodbye after school.
I would loooove a deep dive on the sims and all the gnarly video stories users used to create on UA-cam back in like 2010 , they were literally the best part of my childhood, from frying your baby on a grill to your bf cheating with your mom, the stories were crazy, of course all with an evanescence song playing in the background
I wasn't allowed to play MSP after a girl in my class got hacked by her dad (who was not allowed contact with her family) and he told everyone in the game that she had died. There were ongoing issues with her dad and we were told if we ever met a man saying he was her dad, either IRL or virtually, we should run away and call the police.
Dude. I’m 20 now and I remember being obsessed with this game when I was a kid. I’ve always been shy, online and in real life, so I never really got many friends or talked in the chatrooms or forums. But there was this feature where you could watch actual UA-cam videos through msp. Not the movies people make, but actual UA-cam videos. I can’t remember what it was called, but omg I discovered so much through that feature. I got into Nightcore because of an amv I saw there. Good times Fantastic video! Would love you to cover imvu, because that site is an entire rabbit hole by itself lmao Edit: typo
That's pretty similar to my experience! I didn't really talk to anyone on the game even though I played it all day every day when I was younger...I mainly used the UA-cam function too! I watched so many amvs there..
i met someone i was friends with on MSP when i was 9 on accident, we made friends in a hotel swimming pool and realized we had eachother added which was just so weird
I’m a MSP vet and I remember a time that actually scared me where I went into a chat room and Pixi Star was stood there and everyone was freaking out about how she’d been hacked and was being controlled by a hacker. I never saw her chat but other players had said that she had wrote some creepy messages. It was very weird though to see a NPC in a chat room just stood there not moving, not talking but just watching everyone else.
Moviestarplanet has gotten me so many weird memories. I remember being so annoyed at the short movies, so I decided to create "long movies" - which was the exact opposite. The longest a movie in msp can be is 10 minutes. So I made a super stretched out movie with a "complex" story and stuff. Only sad thing - no one had energy to watch it!
I created an entire series with god knows how many parts and this comment just made me remember it. Those were the days. Yep- I’ve just checked, it was called the outcasts published in 2016 and had 13 episodes!
The best thing I ever did on Movie Star Planet as a kid was trick someone into giving me their login info saying that I'd buy them VIP... and then actually buying them VIP. Younger me thought it was the most hilarious prank ever. Older me thinks I definitely just gave positive enforcement to a kid that giving away login info = good. I had fun on it. Would not recommend.
6:00 "kind of weird, kind of uncanny" Oh no hun. All commercials look like this in Denmark. it doesn't matter if your shopping toilet paper, barbies or cars. The editing is the exact same and the actors are just oh so quirky and relatable (and really trying their hardest to be funny)
it’s interesting how a lot of games like maplestory, animal jam, and MSP were used so often to make videos and mvs. i guess it has something to do with the range of character customization? (and msp was made for video making) i remember watching a bunch of videos like this when i was younger- even if kids aren’t the best at editing or storywriting it’s nice to see how earnest these videos were. people make fun of gacha life kids but it’s basically just a redux of what happened on yothbe during the 2010s, albeit more centered on fandom than before. this was a nice video! i want to revisit the old music videos i watched as a kid now.
I remember seeing commercials for this game on Cartoon Network and seriously considering joining because I was genuinely drawn in by the dress-up and customization features. It was right up there with Wizards 101 and Poptropica in terms of sites I always wanted to join but then never did.
The MSP community around 2015-2018 was easily my wildest online experience. From being friends with multiple "big" MSP youtubers like Raylen and PsychoticJulia, hearing about insane behind the scenes racism homophobia and harassment to having my friends threatened with a lawsuit by arguably the largest MSP youtuber at the time PrincessGames' uncle also being a small part of the "large" livestreams where many members of the community raised money to donate to the British Red Cross for the aftermath of the Ariana Grande bombing which hit close to home as one of our own community members (UK High Scorer Roxy-1) was at that concert which he luckily survived and was uninjured. My time involved in the MSP community was definitely toxic and back then I was a way worse version of myself that I'm definitely not proud of now but it's something I'll always look back on fondly. Being part of the community I honestly had such a fun time, it felt like everyone knew everyone and I met so many long term friends because of a silly little flash game that was already past it's peak. It's easy to say most of my fondest online memories are from that time.
@@katiegorl I honestly am not sure how to feel about that since shes been making explicit content for a while and i -believe- she had sent that type of content to older men even while under 18 though I'm not sure if I'm remembering that right. I hope Lauren gets the help she needs and is happier now than she was back then.
I’ve listened to this video at least six times and this is the first time actually watching it. Pausing and reading through the forums was a wild ride. Izzy literally saying “by talos this can’t be happening” to some random kid broke me 😭
This game, moshi monsters, and wizard101 were my RELIGION as a pre-teen. I spent at LEAST $1,500 on this game and was very dedicated. (Started playing around 2010) The melanie martinez collab and twilight clothes were THE BEST. I also did play woozworld! I was kinda addicted to any avatar type games so I tried them all!
As a "veteran player" I have literally been waiting so long for this video!! Some of the things that get overlooked a lot is the MSP to IMVU pipeline, msp twitter and the msp UA-camrs. The msp UA-camrs who I remember being really big would get tons of free gifts and also do mail time videos, basically opening the free gifts they got from fans (ItsIssie) was probably the most popular in the US and the UK. Then the msp twitter scene was crazy, all the drama and the amount of accounts that people made. Msp twitter in it's prime was another level of crazy. Then the msp to IMVU pipeline was something that a lot of my msp friends and I did mainly because msp was starting to feel too young. Many of my friends and even "famous people" made IMVU accounts to try and migrate over which is why I think IMVU had a spike in numbers for a bit. But I totally dressed up as Dolly and tried to make it look like I got hacked!
I also made an account that was supposed to be a fake hacker to troll people, it ended up becoming like my second account lmao. I also created guy accounts to catfish the desperate girls hitting on literally any guy, it was so fun. I would get girls texting saying "I'm in love with you we should date" and I'd hit them with the "I'm into guys" and they'd ask me to make an exception for them 😭😂 then I made really good friends on my guy account and actually cried when I thought about telling them I was a girl because I thought they'd hate me but of course they didn't haha. I was really good friends with them for a long while, I actually miss them :') the free chat made making connections too easy, I remember a vast majority of people I actually considered close friends back then
I played this when I was like 8 or 9. I had no idea that there was this much lore behind it. I did crazy stuff on that website though and I turned into a menace. Movie Star Planet is like a Twitter for little kids. Just tons of drama and hatred everywhere that spreads like a virus
This game was my entire childhood, I frequented and was pretty popular on forums on multiple accounts from around 2011-2020. I just recently downloaded it and it's so sad to see how dead it is. I remember how packed the chat rooms were and how you couldn't keep track of forums or drama cuz so much was happening all at once. But now there's 3 people in the chat rooms if you're lucky and forums are soooo dead
I remember having to wait to find a chatroom with less than 10 people. Also the 1 forum post per hour limit for non VIPs was so frustrating when there was drama.
Now that you've briefly mentioned Stardoll, I need a video about it. I used to play Stardoll constantly when I was a kid and, although I enjoy all the videos about this kind of games, I would love to see one about a game that I actually played (well, I played Neopets as well, and it was wild learning about all the stuff going on behind the scenes, I was totally oblivious as a child). I don't know much about Stardoll's history but, given that all of these games have weird things going on, I'm sure there will also be interesting stories about it.
As someone who was REALLY into msp as a child, I can confirm, the begging for gfs/bfs part is definitely true, it's like half the fun of the game. Kid me made an alt account just to see how many girls would ask me out for fun (yes I'm gay now) edit: the hacker trend was so big it even spilled a bit into Poland's msp scene. One more thing worth mentioning is how much of a symbol of your status Boonies and other pets were. There was a bunch of limited ediotion ones (I was lucky enough to own one, since a code for it came with the magazine) and some could even help you earn coins, so they could be kinda useful.
I don't usually comment on videos but the nostalgia in this one hit like a truck! I used MSP religiously from 2011-2013/14ish! I remember I used to write stories on the old forums and this one I wrote used to be really popular! It's actually what got me into writing.. which led me to Wattpad but I digress. I used to LOVE the movie feature omg I made so many movies, even adaptations based on my stories. I also got into roleplaying on the old forums where I met a group of friends which is why I liked it so much. We used to have so much fun doing hunger game roleplays and high school ones! One of the friends I met on there when I was 12 actually grew up with me long distance. We followed each other on IG and were super close and literally watched each other grow up and graduate high school. I miss him :( lol I also remember being a brat and hating Pump, probably out of jealously but I was literally 11/12 at the time so. Also, does anyone remember that time of chaos when they updated the forums to how it looks now? Omg we were all so mad, it completely ruined the format we all liked. I remember going onto other countries servers that hadn't updated yet to use theirs lol and then when it was inevitable everyone switched to this forum outside the website but I think you needed an invite and it died quickly. My enjoyment of the game ended as all the platform started dying around 2013, or at least it seemed to be for me. All my friends left except three of us and we moved to kik and IG together. I know I just rambled into the void but wow the nostalgia I needed to get it out😭
With all of the fun that came with using Stardoll for its intended purpose, i.e. dress up games, shopping, selling designs, makeovers, it also very much had a wild west feel to it in the Club forums. It would go from harmless makeover screenshots of your MeDoll, to wattpad stories to straight up bullying and adult content being talked about. Once I remember people on Original Club (a whole can of worms itself) posting tinypic links of their real life selfies and some people bullying each other about how ugly they were. I also remember reading a fiction story post a girl getting kidnapped by a teacher, a girl getting in a dressing room with a boy, and other outlandish made up topics. Also someone once called me poor for saying I liked McDonalds Frappes more than Starbucks lol. I loved that site so much despite the absolute toxicity spread in the clubs
Did you ever play Poptropica as a kid? I was obsessed with it, it was all my friends and I played during computer lab in elementary school. Apparently it was made by the same guy who wrote Diary of a Wimpy Kid so like . peak late 2000s core. Not sure about any drama that happened, I was pretty young when I played it!
I want a video about poptropica so bad! I have such vivid memories of discovering it at summer camp because my camp had a single clunky computer at a desk in the corner of the big multi-purpose room auditorium of the school that hosted the camp. Whoever got to camp first would get to log in and play and the rest would just watch, literally like a decent crowds of early campers would gather and stand around until the real camp day started. When school started up again I made my own account and begged my mom for money and quickly became so obsessed lol, some truly great memories with that game
oh my god i LOVED poptropica, in elementary school our computer class teacher introduced it to us as a fun educational game and our whole class loved it! i played it all the way up until high school off and on, it was so much fun
Loved it. It was big at my elementary school in the 2000s. Kids would log on secretly during time in the computer lab when we were were supposed to be doing certain projects. I visited it here and there as I got a bit older, as well. I used to love the references to movies and tv shows and that I could click on an NPC and just wear that NPC's outfit if I wanted to.
i remember joining around 2016, and being obsessed with this game. i somehow ended up being a "highscore" on the server i was on (dont ask me how because i still dont know), and became pretty popular. i ended up quitting at around level 53, because i got bored. there was so much drama on that sever alone, that im pretty sure i have trauma from it. from threatening to leak addresses, to death threats, to so much more, msp had it ALL. my server also had this one girl who claimed to have cancer, was going blind, and lost her bf in a motor cycle accident, and she turned out to be a 40 yr old woman with a husband and daughter... yikes. it was a whole ass trip, but i do not regret playing because even the drama could be fun sometimes. if anybody is curious, My server was the NZ sever (despite not being from nz at all). id share my username but idk if i want y'all to see that...

on swedish msp there was a really popular series called "When an Angel falls" (När en ängel faller). I was a series about an angel who got accused of letting monsters into heaven, so she got her wings taken away and was sent down to earth. She befriends two humans and together they try to find out who let the monsters into heaven. The show had 56 parts and got over thousands and thousands of views and I remember going to school like "Did you guys see the new episode!!". It was weird and had a very dramatic plot, I think it ended with the mc straight up murdering the one who actually let the monsters into heaven. The good ol days

As an ex MSP youtuber I can say that MSP youtube was a mess. The amount of drama that happened between youtubers is crazy, child influencers would send their child audiences to make fun of other youtubers.
Yourlivingnightmare was a big example of this and often made fun of Princess games which resulted in Princess Games' house getting swatted whilst she was only 14.
Nowadays people are playing msp 2.
Oh wow, I was never aware of that. I was friends with them and I did often watch their videos but I didn’t know fans actually got their house swatted for that😓

It's a shame that msp 2 has, well, "flopped" but unfortunately that's expected to happen with the limited updates. But I'm sure people would agree that even though the original game had it's many issues, it will still forever hold some form of a good memory.

The thing about MSP dating is that there was an actual game feature where you could make a person your official bf or gf. Like, there was a heart icon and everything. The game makers were encouraging it, very bizarre and very weird
lol i log in at times... they still do
i remember we were using it to put our best besties in it, like we were calling it, "our best friend of heart"
I remember playing MSP with my little brother as a child and being thrilled when we finally got a bf/gf (can't even remember which at this point). A bit weird, looking back...

I was one of the Danish kids who got to play it in class while learning English in 2009/10. I remember we did everything to convince our English teacher that it was actually educational, even though everything we did on the site was in Danish.
Back then you legit couldn't do ANYTHING if you weren't VIP, because it was almost impossible to earn star coins. So the bullying based on your clothes was even more rampent. The guys with VIP were the cool kids in class, the rest of us were outcast. It was pretty wild, but luckily something that got better with time when MSP made star coins more common. 😅

this site was MASSIVE back when i was in middle school. everyone at school, including many of the boys, all had very active msp accounts. it was our main way of communicating. I think a large part of this was the fact that it was one of the only sites like this that got translated into our language, so the kids were actually able to use it despite not knowing any english.

Suomalainen MSP oli/on jostain syystä varsin viehättävä. Pelin kehnot käännökset ja taivutusmuodot, virheellinen sensuuri (muistaisin sanan "kiitos" korvattavan risuaidoilla) sekä hyvin pienen skaalan julkkikset yhdistämässä kouluikäisiä pentuja.

what- i started playing in 2019 so idk..
I used to play it all the time since 8-13, I’m 20 now lol
My sister reminded me of it so after a few years I started playing again !
my account on there is from 2012
once met this girl on moviestar planet called like vip queen and kinda entered her social circle for a while. i was a depressed 9yo who probably should not have been on that cesspool but whatevs ! i remember vip queen always had an issue and i was basically her therapist friend, and one time at like 11pm she told me she had run away from home because her mum died and her dad was mean. i GAVE HER DIRECTIONS TO MY GRANDMAS HOUSE and she told me my grandma adopted her. by the way, half of this conversation happened on public artbooks because the chats closed at midnight. then a few weeks later she told me her dad died and she was now in a care home. then someone messaged me on her account saying she died. then the friendgroup blamed me for being a bad therapist.
then 2 weeks later she changed her status to "friend [new account]" and didnt respond. she did not die.
I have no idea what was happening with this girl sobs
Might just have Been a sob story
OMG the way this whole thing would have affected little Ole me 😭😭😭
Reminds me of my friends online ex. His dad came in yelling during a video chat, and after that he basically made it seem like his dad had killed him in a fit of rage, a few days later he messaged her 'from the hospital' saying he was okay but that his dad had thrown him down the stairs and he hit his head. My friend and I tried to convince him to run away cross country and she actually offered to use all her birthday cash from the last years to bus him to us.
Then a few weeks later he broke up with her, sent all her stuff back in the mail, and faked his own sewer cide. We were so screwed up for weeks until another one of our friends found his new facebook. Turns out he had been dating a new girl at home and wanted to break up but was too chicken shit to admit why.
Still have no idea how much of his story was fake.
I met a girl on there when I was about 10 who told me both her parents died and she looks after her little sister by herself.
A lot of people just wanted attention on the game 😭😂
For some reason this seems pretty common in certain internet circles. Back when I was younger and trying to make friends in cosplay social circles, I encountered 2 incidents of cosplayers “dying”. And these specific individuals had a pretty decent followings on insta. The one posted she’d been hospitalized for like medical reasons, and then made a follow up post (posing as her sibling) and relaying to people that she had passed. People figured out through checking the metadata in the geo tags in the photos she has posted, that she was not posting from a hospital. And a little bit later, a new account popped up with her face all over it. She just like killed off herself and then started a new insta? It was wild. I guess the moral of the story is that kids and young teens do some very bizarre things without thinking about the impact on those they interact with.

I used to be DEEEEEP into the "rare" trading market, and actually managed to acquire quite an impressive collection, but most of it was nullified when MSP started doing the "rare weeks" which crashed the market. 12 year old me was quite annoyed.
And I also remember when the MSP admins edited quite many items to make them less "risque". One of my favourite items as a kid was the tube top that said "Censored" (inspired by Rihannas S&M video), but at some point it was altered to say "Sweetie" instead. Quite the downgrade IMO. Every (older) fishnet and ripped item was also edited to have a purple stocking underneath so the character wouldn't be "naked" underneath, which made the items really ugly unless you changed the colour of the purple thing. Many animations were also changed to be more safe (the most violent ones being outright removed), the knife pose animation was changed to have a frying pan instead.
I have an embarassingly vast knowledge of MSP clothing items from 2012-2016, I can pretty much identify all items from that era and know from what specific theme they were. Not my proudest achievement but younger me LOVED all the different customisation possibilities on MSP.
And did anyone else try using the exploit to acquire "boy clothes" using Charles proxy (in like 2013)? I remember feeling like a cool hacker when all I was doing was viewing the HTTP traffic on my computer 😭. I had a person on my friends list who actually got it to work somehow and gave me some of the glitched items, it was pretty cool.

HOLY FUCK I FORGOT ABOUT CHARLES PROXY 😭😭😭 i used a different technique to get vip/boy clothes,, it was a glitch where using a different account u make a look for yourself then a look you want to get and then click a bunch of times altering between the two looks until you could glitch into wearing the vip/boy outfit 😭😭😭 i also remember making alt accs where i would use the "hack by lisa" (honestly the only hack that actually worked for me) and you could get a bunch of money and level up the acc but it would get banned after like 6-10 minutes so i hurried up and did my wishlist 😭

Actually I think pumpchkin was only popular in US servers since I've never heard of her. For me, RotiKhaase was the absolute number one celebrity within the MSP community (and actually she has 80k subscribers on UA-cam, more than pumpchkin). She also had a series of movies called 'Damaged' which were very good, a long running relationship drama centered around domestic abuse
she’s the one i remember too, i also remember how half the high scorers ended up being like 30 or groomers or both
You’re right, pumpchkin was only on the us servers, Roxy-1, ishacool and Rotikhaase were our number ones 😂💕

Does anyone else remember that “little sister” character that was in the game. When I got a vip-membership for the first time one of the first things I did was buy her and put her in my house. After a while I also found out that there was an animation were you held her hand. I made sure to get it as quickly as possible. I called her Julia and made up this whole story about how my avatar had gone to earth and landed right next to a road during a car crash were she saved a baby from dying and then proceeded to adopt that baby and bring her to movie star planet as the parents had died in the car crash. There was a little brother too but I wasn’t as invested in him but I did buy the animation were you tuck him in and I called him Eric.
Wait aww this is so sweet
Oh wow
Is there like any pictures or anything like that
That’s actually kinda sick. I’ve always wanted to write a screenplay, so this sounds like something I would’ve done if I had developed this game
omg my name is julia
"I'm not jocking" is now a routine phrase in my household thanks to this video
Ironically, you have a smug unicorn villager as your profile picture.
The paywall was insane in this game. I remember feeling left out every time I went online because my parents wouldn’t let me purchase a membership :’D
i made my mom pay $13 every month just for the vip membership 😭 i remember for my 10th birthday she bought me the 1 year star vip membership and i was so happy
This game always reminds me about how spoiled I was as a kid after I've heard about how many parents refused to buy their children even the cheapest VIP cause my mom let me buy the Star VIP for 1 week every month but two times I've got too greedy and without her permisson i bought the VIP for 1 month and I lied about where the money go but she didin't believe me and she knew that I spend on the VIP for 1 month but suprisingly she wasn't that angry, but hey at least I've got Jury lol
Same!! And I couldn't even bring myself to ask my parents because at the time they weren't the kind to spend even a cent on any online purchase.
Whenever I saw in game friends become VIP for the first time, I felt so so left out lol. I even looked for people who told me they'd make me VIP lol.
Dude i would save up my allowance money and give it to my mom for this game, I've probably spent over $2000 on this game
i got vip for a year for christmas which was awesome and then never again.. but i played like everyday that i was able to
The culture around the Anonymous hacker was wild. The second you went into a cafe chat room and someone was dressed up like her with no visible username, people FREAKED OUT. I remember making an ‘anonymous hacker hunting’ acc💀. I used to message the people with the anonymous username like I was doing God’s work. It got so bad that I’m pretty sure MSP blocked the word from even being said/used in usernames.
I used to have one of those accounts but I wasn't on it for long. The last time I went on it, a bunch of deleted users with the Unknown Female outfit started sending friend requests. I was so scared that I had to get my dad to check our computer 😅

I used to play religiously when I was 8 to around 10! This was 2011 to 2013 so I witnessed the peak of it all, being in the USA server. Nostalgia aside I'm gonna list some things which were very prevalent:
-Fear mongering. Hackers, creepypasta content and that "Dolly" thing, all threatening to take your account, find where you live and get to you.
-E-seggs. Not even kidding. There was a lot of it, in player's houses where they would use animations for...yeah.
-Completely unmonitored communities. Given that the censorship was only available for English and that the USA and UK server had players from all around the world, people that could speak the same language could just say the most disturbing shit possible and never get banned because they didn't speak in English.
-Scamming. Given we were all children it was quite easy to get scammed. I scammed like 5+ accounts by telling other kids to switch their e-mail to mine and then I'd get their account.
-Literal Instagram for children. EVERYONE in my school used MSP, your ranking in game actually reflected your social life in school and it was crazy how we would meet up in school and talk about a game all the time.
wild how that was pretty much my exact experience with roblox when i was younger. (i was big into it around 2016/2017) we even had legends like john doe, the online dating, the intense transphobia/racism/homophobia, bullying noobs and guests, horrible moderation, all of it. nobody learned much, i guess lol.
I would love to see a poptropica deep dive. It was such a big part of my childhood. I remember being scared to go through vampire island
Zombie island was also terrifing for me.

As a msp veteran i used to play this game everyday after school. I played it during its peak, and seeing a bunch of people at the same time, chatting with my friends( and glitching/lagging) was a big part of my childhood. Id mine starcoins for days so i could but that one outfit. I kinda forgot about the more toxic parts, the game was a little messy and now that i think ab it, moderation shouldve been WAAY BETTER for a kids game. A lot of things stayed online that should’ve been taken down-
Yepp I really miss my MSP friends too I had a bunch of them I’d always be excited to hop on and talk to them everyday I’d spend HOURSSS insane amount of hours on MSP I miss it so much 😭😭
I'm from Poland and the game was huge here, back in the day. The bullying was and probably always will be a problem there, I just never really was into the whole chatting feature though. The most traumatic memory I have with the whole site is me showing the launcher (log-in) page to my mom, to explain her what the game was about to possibly convince her to buy a VIP membership for me. Luck had it that one of these scrolling outfit displays was halloween themed, and one character had a bloody axe in their head, and my mother pointed it out. I swear to god i didn't notice it before, and when she pointed it out, I felt like i just got jumpscared. 💀I still vaguely remember this exact character to this day, he was dressed whole in white with some red accessories and this damn axe 💀💀
did you at least end up getting the vip membership? 😭
@@niksooxyz No I didn't :cc

#1 making like 15 other accounts just to farm stuff for my main one
#2 Designing clothes
#3 The same video being played everytime you entered the Cinema
#4 A disturbing theme of teen pregnancy in the movies
#5 Me having a real bad case of not-like-other-girls for not wanting VIP.
I remember 'roasting' the popular girl in my class in 5ft grade for having VIP. Noone got my point cuz children are stupid and I was also a child, but I felt so cool.
moviestarplanet was truly an addiction for me. it used to be intensely chaotic back then with the endless bullying in chatrooms, hackers literally everywhere, and the constant need for starcoins, but i enjoyed every second of it. but if there's ONE game that i truly loved playing 24/7 as a kid, it would definitely have to be bearville. oh my god, that was the elite build-a-bear workshop virtual world that literally no one i know has ever heard of. that game was my LIFE. woke up early every single morning to steal my mom's computer and sit in the living room with it for hours just buying clothes, listening to cody simpson songs, playing minigames, and having the best adventures. although it wasn't exactly controversial, it was a still a really memorable game and i'm forever upset that they shut it down.
I LOVED THAT GAME!! i remember frantically searching my house for the bear's "birth certificate" since you needed the code on there to be able to play. the minigames were honestly sooo fun i would probably still play them today if i remembered my account info
ugh me too I am so sad they shut it down 😭 there are some fans working on a remake, and they have a demo with two mini games out right now, but they haven’t posted any updates on yt in a year unfortunately. hope they finish it

I played a lot of MovieStar Planet when I was younger, especially in 4th grade lol. As much as there was bad, I can solidly say that it was my life saver during 4th. I can't speak for all but I feel like a large part of the MSP fanbase was either actually popular kids and then the really lonely unpopular, even bullied, kids. Falling into the later half definitely defined my experience on the game but I'm glad I had it then. Going to school only to feel lonely and separate from everyone in my school to the point of bullying then getting to go home and be who I wanted to be and talk to my friends online was amazing. It's sad to see MSP 2 flop but I'm glad to get to experience MSP when I did.
i had such a similar experience! it was so good to come home from school and just be in my own little world on my laptop with friends i would wait for when they came online!
@@amyneve2675 omg yeah it was so fun :( and a lot of people were active back then so the chatrooms were always busy, unlike nowadays where it's so dead in chatrooms and we all grew up so less of us play it :(
It was actually really common for MSP and AJ AMV makers to “replicate” each others editing “styles,” which caused a lot of drama between the communities. 👍 As an old animal jam movie maker

me too, I missed out on that trend because I was so young
as a polish person, MSP was _huge_ over here. Any time in elementary when the IT teacher let us get a break we'd all log in simultaneously to grind up money, make fun of each others' fashion sense, make strange movies, or try and co-op the catwalk. I remember mostly just making movies and scrapbook posts about Dumb Ways To Die with my childhood best friend, and one time when the class bully scammed me out of a scarf so hard that me and my friends told on her to the teacher 😭 I think it's also the only website I've ever gotten close to being groomed on so the lack of moderation and safety measures was really something lmao
You guys had IT in elementary?? I would've loved that i bet. In the US (or at least where I went to school) only had basic academics and some time set aside for extra subjects (like art and music). We did have "computer day", but that was mostly to do work for our basic class stuff

Dude, I LOVED msp and honestly am still emotionally attached to it. I remember literally looking up “real credit card numbers that work” because I wanted VIP so badly. Ofc they never worked (and I was looking at google images sooooo…) but, I would get so much hate on it bc I wasn’t vip. Honestly it exposed me to very harsh language and made me lose trust in the game at a young age. I remember scraping real life change like pennies n shit so I could give the real life money to my dad in exchange for 5$ off his credit card. They always said no. Recently I went back and it’s a shell of what it used to be. Nobody bothers to vip anymore bc it’s all trolls. Sad, some of my best memories were made on msp.
I used to ask my parents like that too and they said no for a good 2 years then finally cracked and let me buy it. I had straight A's so that was my reward. I was vip for 3 months and the first thing I bought was the ugly furry boots. One time I was perminately locked for no reason on my backup account after I bought one month vip for Christmas. Customer service was 0 help and I cried for a week about it.
DUDE I DID THE SAME THING ABOUT THE CREDIT CARDS... i actually wasn't bullied, i made some pretty good friends and loved making movies but yeah now it's just not the same. kinda miss it though
LMFAO "real credit card numbers that work"
Relatable
I was sooo obsessed with this game, I did the exact same thing with creditcards and vip hacks and they never worked. Bought myself some vip last year to give it some closure kinda sad that the game is pretty much dead rn
OMG SAME-
stop the dolly lore was so deep , this game consumed me in that 2012 era , the way they got us to spend on vip n clothes n shi 😭i still log in every few years to reminisce
As someone who played between the years 2010-2012 on the german server, I vividly remember the movies being really popular! There would be whole shows with up to 20-30 episodes and multiple seasons and people were really invested and even I had my fair share of popular series that I made
Another thing were the movie contests, so like every month I think there would be a contest where you could submit a movie that you made which had to fit a certain theme and include some words or phrases, like say if the theme was Halloween, your movie should feature the word pumpkin or stuff like that and in the earlier years the movies you submitted HAD to be in english, though after a while they changed that, and like,,,,,,,I get that most people were in elementary or middle school (me included) but some of the english was just soooo bad :'')
Hey, same here... exactly what I can remember... Literally learned english through it :D
I used to play this waaaay too much back in around 2013~2016. I've started playing again recently and kinda honestly miss these kinda games. MSP is sooo toxic compared to most other MMORPGs of the time, but I guess it just comes with the territory. One of my biggest memories is making movies titled "Crazy Tuesday" and the punchline was always "LOL AND IT HAPPENED ON TUESDAY!"
THAT IS THE MOST MSP THING IVE EVER READ
as much as i enjoyed my time on msp, i have to admit the game is truly a mess. from most of the first page highscorers on the US server being exposed as in their 30s to a mod i personally knew who would protect certain high level players, personally promote and engage in cheats/exploits, lock people out who disagreed with them, and literally threaten other players with pictures of knives (LMAOO like who is msp hiring ???) i gotta say i’m not that surprised by how dead the game is now. but regardless, the game gave me so many amazing opportunities, long lasting friendships, and even shaped me into who i am today. so for that i’m thankful.
omg hiii i used to watch you 24/7 😭😭
@@racketing ahhh hi omggg!!
I love watching theses videos and seeing old msp UA-camrs comment
i miss it so much
Dude I used to love your videos. I just got hit by nostalgia. You brought me happiness when I was in a really dark place and for that I thank you.
Love that the team Jacob shirt is so much cheaper than the Edward one
no one will ever understand the hype unless they played this game during its peak, it was absolutely brilliant. I’ve had my account since 2012 and it was such an escape coming home and playing with random people who i’ve now made friends with till this day. I turn 18 this year and i will always thank this game as it was there for me during the hardest parts of my childhood. I even had a youtube channel ( i privated all the videos it was so embarrassing 😭). In 2020 they permanently banned my account and i still have no reason why, i’ve sent so many emails but they always reply withh no explanation. It’s a shame the games went to shit but i guess kids these days aren’t the same as we were. I love this game and i hope one day a new generation will get to experience a game like msp
right it was really amazing
@@icebrewtea333 it’s a shame it’s so dead now, i guess we all grew up 🥲
@@shvcej yes definitely an escape, im glad we all had it growing up, the game was much more than just a wee internet game haha
I never really played it mainly because I wasn’t the target audience but I remember getting lots of ads at the time for it on my tv and I couldn’t escape it
@@napasenseigaming omg the tv ads were everywhere😭😭 i think they are what actually made me play the game
A social caste system revolving around how much money you spend on virtual world memberships and exclusive items is exactly why we have adults bragging about owning NFTs 😂
The micro-transaction to NFT pipeline
Now i see why the animal jam people started that nft game
Oh shit you're right
jfc ur right
Zwinky, Meez Nation, Club Cooee, IMVU, Ourworld, Secondlife. All these games basically foreshadowed our future. Where what you wear and how much money you spend determines how many friends you get and your status. Sounds dystopian.
One of the strangest things I've remembered about MSP is the weird NSFW sketchbook/journals (whatever they were called) that were rampant at the time I played... I'll never forget the weird shaped ... You know.. the moderation was something else.
I remember this! I remember even making one myself when I was like 10
Artbooks I think they were called? I dont think i ever saw them but I 100% heard about them
Kids would make super sexual throwaway accounts just for shock value. Ah good times
@@JehzusHChrist sorry to say that was me, just did it for attention I can’t lie
@@urmumlol1805 nah it’s ok. I did it once too.
Yknow MSP should of released a doll line because “buying fashions and dress your characters up” like you said were a main thing for the site and I would of loved seeing how they would of translate the game fashion into an actual piece of fabric
Also I like to hc that Pixie star is just Samantha’s stage name and look
this gives me SUCH nostalgia!! as a danish kid literally every school break was spent getting verbally abused and groomed by 19-year olds in the skatepark,, good times man
I remember actually trying to make ‘movies’ on there as a kid and being frustrated with the lack of effort others would put into it. Stock rock song, begging for stars, etc. I only had vip a couple of times but made sure to mainly invest in my movies like different backgrounds and songs rather than doing much dress up for my msp, think I only picked the bare minimum to not get bullied and mainly used my friends for actors. Surprisingly even with a limited budget on there if you put in the slightest bit of effort and continuity you’d be seen as a 10 year old Tarantino god director. Oh yeah and I would also try to give critique to others movies but would then get called poor. Overall great time
YESSS!!! THISSS!! I sucked at it but is was fun! I think when I was younger I made a movie of Donald trump kissing a dude
The movies were like the highlight of my childhood. I only got into them because of comps though bc earlier in the game it was an easy way to get free vip bc of a lack of competition
@@Ella-th6rm *wheezes*
@@yourfriendlyneighborhoodgr3435 IT WAS OF MY AVATAR WANTING TO GO TO A PARTY OR SM.. and Donald trump.. was hosting one already so she couldn’t go… and then Donald Trump invited I guess a bunch of dudes over and made out with Obama?! Idk it was something like that

I hope one day Izzy will cover the Sims series so we can recall the equally heartbreaking “sims 2/3 sad story” genre of youtube video
i used to love the sims3 teen pregnancy videos tbh. the drama!!!
OMG YES
I watched the Justin Bieber sims 2 mvs
@@holyfool5605 SAME
Yeah I mean you can probably tell by my user name and profile that I love sims but I used to watch sims Mach I mama and then I came across that really disturbing one which I will not name cause it might traumatise some people which is a story about a certain mod . ( I’m not naming it in case children go look it up or it brings bad memories back for someone I don’t know ) but yeah sims series would be interesting considering the original creator is no longer apart of the making of the game anymore .
“forgive me god i was just jealous” is the funniest thing ever oh my god
My best friend showed me this game when we were in middle school. I would go over to her house for a sleep over and we’d spend hours sitting on her dads computer doing dress up games and hanging out in chat rooms. At some point I made an account and started playing at home. I bought a VIP membership and everything and I watched pumpchkin series relentlessly. I also had a few rares before they temporarily added them back into the game. Also, those weird fluffy boots were the only shoes I ever wore. I had them in like, 20 different versions. And I remember the old boonies design becoming a rare when they added the new design and honestly the old ones were cuter. They looked more like puffles.
OH I remember when the old bonnies became rares! It was really funny, chatroom bullies used to make fun of me for having a non vip bonnie only to then turn around and be really jealous that I had a rare item. Kid me used to think that was peak karma lmao
As a German veteran MSP player I can say that everything you said also applies to German MSP...it was wild back then here as well...even anonymous and Dolly were a thing in German MSP...I think this shows again how quickly MSP developed and how big and international it became at the end...sometimes I miss those times...
Same in Swedish MSP! Its crazy!
Also the Dutch MSP!🤪
Msp war so popular in Deutschland tbh! Irgendwie hat das fast jeder gespielt.
@@Orbit_yves nhhh
@@Orbit_yves Ja heutzutage ist ja niemand mehr aktiv, aber früher hat es soo Spaß gemacht MSP zu spielen:(
I had a hater literally called “I hate” and then my username, almost all their messages were blacked out but I could understand several words like “kill yourself” but I think the reason I remember the story so well is from how I dealt with her, I sent her a friend request because I thought it would be funny
tbh it is funny to do that.
Power move tbh.
wait why is that based

"Harambe hot as hell"

LMFAOO I just saw that thank you
I've been waiting for this one, MSP was THE moment at my primary school. It was so messy I adored it (even after the school banned it saying it was for 12 year olds 😭). As for the longterm effect it had on me, I had two separate heterosexual weddings and still grew up to like men so decide for yourself.
I also remember religiously checking updates on dramatic storytime forums and wholeheartedly believing the events in them actually happened.
I'm a little dissapointed that I was the 68th like, and that I will never be able to see the 69th like
truly this is a sad day
omg the community center i used to go to in elementary school also banned the game because they found out people were e-dating and saw some inappropriate dms 💀💀💀
character development
i remember how big this culture was in Poland, many "urban" legends, hackers, dramas, creeps, "celebrities", organized scams and hating on random people, ending on toxic forums... kinda terrifying looking at it now though- the fact i spent half of my childhood on this site makes me think deeper about my life tbh-
i remember when my friend would tell me about msp hackers when i was little which made me scared of the game and never open it up again.
@@miogrod3176 i remember when i was the msp savvy of my school so i was scaring everyone with hackers so they don't have higher level than me 💀💀
omg i remember polish msp server! i was soo engaged in the forum community i was lowkey popular there in 2020-2021. and i gotta say weird shit was going down not only on the forum itself. i've known some of the more popular forum users privately and there was so much drama, hatred, and many worse things. the community was extremely toxic and i'm glad it's almost dead these years

this game, though with its many faults, was truly one of the biggest parts of my childhood. i played it at its peak and i still have many fond memories of my time on it. the corny music videos, the yearning for vip, the constant drama between highscorers and the concerning amount of edating. crazy. i used to desperately want to be a "famous" movie star and would grind just to get 5 meek views on a short film, beg people for autographs, and spend hours farming staircoins by petting pets just to spend it on a terrible outfit 5 minutes later. again, crazy. there was so much drama too? i remember always being interested in the supposed rivalry between pump and mybeau and how everyone kinda chose a side (my choice was obviously mybeau. i once made a whole artbook discussing why pump was the devil because she didnt accept every single friend request or let lower leveled people onto her team LMAOO) and then there were hacker hunters, well-known youtubers, those extremely dramatic and inappropriate msp series that were shockingly well made.. moviestarplent truly was a different breed
i had many MANY msp eras other than this, but probably the most memorable was when i was one of the editor types, and i can tell you that that community within itself is absolutely insane and way more than just corny couple edits. i got into it through a youtube tutorial on editing and it all went downhill from there. people would and still will formulate whole unique characters with traumatizing backstories and fully developed families. from glorified murderers to cheating spouses and somehow dying and being brought back to life, we really had it all with our big ass imaginations, and we took it way too seriously lol. i would spend hours upon hours editing an avatar into a character just to post it on instagram to progress their storyline further. the community isnt that great overall but it actually was beneficial for me creatively, and im so thankful that i had an outlet like it for so many years though i quit for good a few months back.
i still visit msp from time to time and i can confirm that its just as it was a few years ago. a part of me even hopes it becomes one of those older games that rises in popularity again in the next coming years? thatd definitely be fun
nice video by the way! it was super nice to revisit this part of my life once again :D
The peak of my 12 year old life was that mybeau friended me and put me in one of her movies lol
I was besties with Unmoved
I liked this comment for the sheer amount of effort put in
I started playing msp when I was like 6 and I stopped when I was like 13 (idk either, I was obsessed) I don't even know what I liked so much about it, I loved dressing up and talking to my friends, some were "big deals" on my server, like rotikhaase and tbh I don't know the rest of their names but I loved the game so so so much and although I realise how messed up it was now, I do miss it a lot and if I had the option to live those years again I would, it was euphoria
I grew up in Denmark and was a young tween in the early/mid 2010's, so I was pretty much the target demographic for msp. Let me tell you about some things I remember
- Msp would censor words like 'number' in order to prevent e-dating. Msp players could easily get around it by typing it with a space in between each letter like 'can i get your n u m b e r?'
- Bullying, trolls and comments/chats of sexual nature were sadly common.
- I'm too young to remember msp being an educational website. In my time, it was just treated as another social media game.
- Since this was the same era as the 'lyric videos' for popular songs, Msp lyric videos for songs popular in Denmark were commonplace, not only on msp but on youtube as well.
- Creating a 'burner account' of a person of the opposite gender and trying to e-date and prank people was very common
- Kids created slang around msp like asking 'what's the name of your moviestar?' or 'see you on movie' when saying goodbye after school.
I would loooove a deep dive on the sims and all the gnarly video stories users used to create on UA-cam back in like 2010 , they were literally the best part of my childhood, from frying your baby on a grill to your bf cheating with your mom, the stories were crazy, of course all with an evanescence song playing in the background
omg i was watching the wildest sims videos ever at age 13
Lol that sounds like such a mood
Oh my god you've unlocked so many memories!
omg I LOVED the "emo love story" ones!! my literal childhood
I wasn't allowed to play MSP after a girl in my class got hacked by her dad (who was not allowed contact with her family) and he told everyone in the game that she had died. There were ongoing issues with her dad and we were told if we ever met a man saying he was her dad, either IRL or virtually, we should run away and call the police.
That was the wildest story I've ever heard. You should get on MSP and make that into a movie 🤣
That's not even the most outrageous thing I've heard about MSP either 💀
I do hope you're friend and their family is safe.
Dude. I’m 20 now and I remember being obsessed with this game when I was a kid. I’ve always been shy, online and in real life, so I never really got many friends or talked in the chatrooms or forums. But there was this feature where you could watch actual UA-cam videos through msp. Not the movies people make, but actual UA-cam videos. I can’t remember what it was called, but omg I discovered so much through that feature. I got into Nightcore because of an amv I saw there. Good times
Fantastic video! Would love you to cover imvu, because that site is an entire rabbit hole by itself lmao
Edit: typo
imvu is a virus website
basically imvu crashed 3 of my laptops
That's pretty similar to my experience! I didn't really talk to anyone on the game even though I played it all day every day when I was younger...I mainly used the UA-cam function too! I watched so many amvs there..
UA-cam stopped working for me for a while for some reason but MSP UA-cam worked still
i met someone i was friends with on MSP when i was 9 on accident, we made friends in a hotel swimming pool and realized we had eachother added which was just so weird
I’m a MSP vet and I remember a time that actually scared me where I went into a chat room and Pixi Star was stood there and everyone was freaking out about how she’d been hacked and was being controlled by a hacker. I never saw her chat but other players had said that she had wrote some creepy messages. It was very weird though to see a NPC in a chat room just stood there not moving, not talking but just watching everyone else.
She wasn't hacked, it was a stunt by the devs, I was there and it was done to scare kids and get more attention from youtubers
@@RimFaxxe wow really? that feels really immoral to me for some reason, a weird marketing tactic as the game slowly decreased in active players!
@@urhexgirl yeah they did it everytime the activity died
Moviestarplanet has gotten me so many weird memories. I remember being so annoyed at the short movies, so I decided to create "long movies" - which was the exact opposite. The longest a movie in msp can be is 10 minutes. So I made a super stretched out movie with a "complex" story and stuff.
Only sad thing - no one had energy to watch it!
If it makes you feel better, those movies were the best, especially if they had good plots haha
I created an entire series with god knows how many parts and this comment just made me remember it. Those were the days.
Yep- I’ve just checked, it was called the outcasts published in 2016 and had 13 episodes!
The best thing I ever did on Movie Star Planet as a kid was trick someone into giving me their login info saying that I'd buy them VIP... and then actually buying them VIP.
Younger me thought it was the most hilarious prank ever. Older me thinks I definitely just gave positive enforcement to a kid that giving away login info = good.
I had fun on it. Would not recommend.
And then after you do that, you'll either be called a scammer or hacker.
I used to play MSP.
6:00 "kind of weird, kind of uncanny" Oh no hun. All commercials look like this in Denmark.
it doesn't matter if your shopping toilet paper, barbies or cars. The editing is the exact same and the actors are just oh so quirky and relatable (and really trying their hardest to be funny)
it’s interesting how a lot of games like maplestory, animal jam, and MSP were used so often to make videos and mvs. i guess it has something to do with the range of character customization? (and msp was made for video making) i remember watching a bunch of videos like this when i was younger- even if kids aren’t the best at editing or storywriting it’s nice to see how earnest these videos were. people make fun of gacha life kids but it’s basically just a redux of what happened on yothbe during the 2010s, albeit more centered on fandom than before.
this was a nice video! i want to revisit the old music videos i watched as a kid now.
well, MSP had a whole movie editor thing so it was relatively easy to make MVs and other stuff
oh my god, maplestory... memories unlocked.
I remember seeing commercials for this game on Cartoon Network and seriously considering joining because I was genuinely drawn in by the dress-up and customization features. It was right up there with Wizards 101 and Poptropica in terms of sites I always wanted to join but then never did.
Omggg, Wizard101 is amazing and I still recommend it to this day (hence my name and pfp lmfao).
Wizard101 is still online, and it even has private servers
Yeah, I played like once but I don't think I was even signed in
Wizard101 was great and is still up with a fairly big community today, would recommend checking out!
The MSP community around 2015-2018 was easily my wildest online experience. From being friends with multiple "big" MSP youtubers like Raylen and PsychoticJulia, hearing about insane behind the scenes racism homophobia and harassment to having my friends threatened with a lawsuit by arguably the largest MSP youtuber at the time PrincessGames' uncle also being a small part of the "large" livestreams where many members of the community raised money to donate to the British Red Cross for the aftermath of the Ariana Grande bombing which hit close to home as one of our own community members (UK High Scorer Roxy-1) was at that concert which he luckily survived and was uninjured.
My time involved in the MSP community was definitely toxic and back then I was a way worse version of myself that I'm definitely not proud of now but it's something I'll always look back on fondly. Being part of the community I honestly had such a fun time, it felt like everyone knew everyone and I met so many long term friends because of a silly little flash game that was already past it's peak. It's easy to say most of my fondest online memories are from that time.
Are you still in contact with PsychoticJulia? Please let me know, we were really close, played sso, howrse and msp together way back in 2016
Princess Games now has an onlyfans and she’s honestly really pretty!
@@katiegorl I honestly am not sure how to feel about that since shes been making explicit content for a while and i -believe- she had sent that type of content to older men even while under 18 though I'm not sure if I'm remembering that right. I hope Lauren gets the help she needs and is happier now than she was back then.

@@RimFaxxe sadly im not :(
I’ve listened to this video at least six times and this is the first time actually watching it. Pausing and reading through the forums was a wild ride. Izzy literally saying “by talos this can’t be happening” to some random kid broke me 😭
This game, moshi monsters, and wizard101 were my RELIGION as a pre-teen. I spent at LEAST $1,500 on this game and was very dedicated. (Started playing around 2010) The melanie martinez collab and twilight clothes were THE BEST.
I also did play woozworld! I was kinda addicted to any avatar type games so I tried them all!
I completely forgot about woozworld 🥲 I still play wizard 101 sometimes though
I tried to make a Moshi Monsters account recently for memory sake and it shut down :(

Ohhh I LOVED WOOZWORLD
oh god yes fellow woozworld player, I WAS OBSSEEESSED
As a "veteran player" I have literally been waiting so long for this video!! Some of the things that get overlooked a lot is the MSP to IMVU pipeline, msp twitter and the msp UA-camrs. The msp UA-camrs who I remember being really big would get tons of free gifts and also do mail time videos, basically opening the free gifts they got from fans (ItsIssie) was probably the most popular in the US and the UK. Then the msp twitter scene was crazy, all the drama and the amount of accounts that people made. Msp twitter in it's prime was another level of crazy. Then the msp to IMVU pipeline was something that a lot of my msp friends and I did mainly because msp was starting to feel too young. Many of my friends and even "famous people" made IMVU accounts to try and migrate over which is why I think IMVU had a spike in numbers for a bit. But I totally dressed up as Dolly and tried to make it look like I got hacked!
I also made an account that was supposed to be a fake hacker to troll people, it ended up becoming like my second account lmao. I also created guy accounts to catfish the desperate girls hitting on literally any guy, it was so fun. I would get girls texting saying "I'm in love with you we should date" and I'd hit them with the "I'm into guys" and they'd ask me to make an exception for them 😭😂 then I made really good friends on my guy account and actually cried when I thought about telling them I was a girl because I thought they'd hate me but of course they didn't haha. I was really good friends with them for a long while, I actually miss them :') the free chat made making connections too easy, I remember a vast majority of people I actually considered close friends back then
this was literally my childhood. how did years of sitting at my dad's computer making artbooks and movies just disappear from my mind? ;-;
I played this when I was like 8 or 9. I had no idea that there was this much lore behind it. I did crazy stuff on that website though and I turned into a menace. Movie Star Planet is like a Twitter for little kids. Just tons of drama and hatred everywhere that spreads like a virus
If you experienced nothing but drama and hatred maybe it was you that was the issue
This game was my entire childhood, I frequented and was pretty popular on forums on multiple accounts from around 2011-2020. I just recently downloaded it and it's so sad to see how dead it is. I remember how packed the chat rooms were and how you couldn't keep track of forums or drama cuz so much was happening all at once. But now there's 3 people in the chat rooms if you're lucky and forums are soooo dead
I think it’s mainly because everybody has grown up
@@daligang1359 ive noticed that all u see are ppl 16+ playing ive gone on it recently and ive met 20 yr olds playing now
everyone has grown up and stopped playing all together or ppl have grown up and still play but are busy with life so dont play 24/7 anymore
I remember having to wait to find a chatroom with less than 10 people. Also the 1 forum post per hour limit for non VIPs was so frustrating when there was drama.
Now that you've briefly mentioned Stardoll, I need a video about it. I used to play Stardoll constantly when I was a kid and, although I enjoy all the videos about this kind of games, I would love to see one about a game that I actually played (well, I played Neopets as well, and it was wild learning about all the stuff going on behind the scenes, I was totally oblivious as a child). I don't know much about Stardoll's history but, given that all of these games have weird things going on, I'm sure there will also be interesting stories about it.
As someone who was REALLY into msp as a child, I can confirm, the begging for gfs/bfs part is definitely true, it's like half the fun of the game. Kid me made an alt account just to see how many girls would ask me out for fun (yes I'm gay now)
edit: the hacker trend was so big it even spilled a bit into Poland's msp scene. One more thing worth mentioning is how much of a symbol of your status Boonies and other pets were. There was a bunch of limited ediotion ones (I was lucky enough to own one, since a code for it came with the magazine) and some could even help you earn coins, so they could be kinda useful.
when i had to make a boy account so I could have a bf that wouldn't break up with me🥲
i only got to buy a single msp magazine, as they were expensive af for me
I made myself boy in it, yes im trans now
i like to make myself a boy character and be the "cool guy" that gets all the girls too (yes i'm nonbinary and gay now)
Msp was the beginning of my homosexuality. I mainly got a gf because there wasn't very many guys, but not soon after realized I was actually gay.
I don't usually comment on videos but the nostalgia in this one hit like a truck! I used MSP religiously from 2011-2013/14ish! I remember I used to write stories on the old forums and this one I wrote used to be really popular! It's actually what got me into writing.. which led me to Wattpad but I digress. I used to LOVE the movie feature omg I made so many movies, even adaptations based on my stories. I also got into roleplaying on the old forums where I met a group of friends which is why I liked it so much. We used to have so much fun doing hunger game roleplays and high school ones! One of the friends I met on there when I was 12 actually grew up with me long distance. We followed each other on IG and were super close and literally watched each other grow up and graduate high school. I miss him :( lol I also remember being a brat and hating Pump, probably out of jealously but I was literally 11/12 at the time so. Also, does anyone remember that time of chaos when they updated the forums to how it looks now? Omg we were all so mad, it completely ruined the format we all liked. I remember going onto other countries servers that hadn't updated yet to use theirs lol and then when it was inevitable everyone switched to this forum outside the website but I think you needed an invite and it died quickly. My enjoyment of the game ended as all the platform started dying around 2013, or at least it seemed to be for me. All my friends left except three of us and we moved to kik and IG together. I know I just rambled into the void but wow the nostalgia I needed to get it out😭
I’d love to see a deep dive into StarDoll. I played it so much when I was a kid and was obsessed
Yessss
Oh my!!
Yesss I couldnt remember the name and you just reminded me !!! I loved that game sooooo much 😂
I still play stardoll lol
With all of the fun that came with using Stardoll for its intended purpose, i.e. dress up games, shopping, selling designs, makeovers, it also very much had a wild west feel to it in the Club forums.
It would go from harmless makeover screenshots of your MeDoll, to wattpad stories to straight up bullying and adult content being talked about. Once I remember people on Original Club (a whole can of worms itself) posting tinypic links of their real life selfies and some people bullying each other about how ugly they were. I also remember reading a fiction story post a girl getting kidnapped by a teacher, a girl getting in a dressing room with a boy, and other outlandish made up topics. Also someone once called me poor for saying I liked McDonalds Frappes more than Starbucks lol. I loved that site so much despite the absolute toxicity spread in the clubs
Did you ever play Poptropica as a kid? I was obsessed with it, it was all my friends and I played during computer lab in elementary school. Apparently it was made by the same guy who wrote Diary of a Wimpy Kid so like . peak late 2000s core. Not sure about any drama that happened, I was pretty young when I played it!
I want a video about poptropica so bad! I have such vivid memories of discovering it at summer camp because my camp had a single clunky computer at a desk in the corner of the big multi-purpose room auditorium of the school that hosted the camp. Whoever got to camp first would get to log in and play and the rest would just watch, literally like a decent crowds of early campers would gather and stand around until the real camp day started. When school started up again I made my own account and begged my mom for money and quickly became so obsessed lol, some truly great memories with that game
my whole class played it in 5th grade and whenever we couldn’t have recess, we’d play it on the class computers
oh my god i LOVED poptropica, in elementary school our computer class teacher introduced it to us as a fun educational game and our whole class loved it! i played it all the way up until high school off and on, it was so much fun
I played almost all the islands out at the time and tried to log in later and they deleted old accounts 😭😭😭
Loved it. It was big at my elementary school in the 2000s. Kids would log on secretly during time in the computer lab when we were were supposed to be doing certain projects. I visited it here and there as I got a bit older, as well. I used to love the references to movies and tv shows and that I could click on an NPC and just wear that NPC's outfit if I wanted to.
i remember joining around 2016, and being obsessed with this game. i somehow ended up being a "highscore" on the server i was on (dont ask me how because i still dont know), and became pretty popular. i ended up quitting at around level 53, because i got bored. there was so much drama on that sever alone, that im pretty sure i have trauma from it. from threatening to leak addresses, to death threats, to so much more, msp had it ALL.
my server also had this one girl who claimed to have cancer, was going blind, and lost her bf in a motor cycle accident, and she turned out to be a 40 yr old woman with a husband and daughter... yikes.
it was a whole ass trip, but i do not regret playing because even the drama could be fun sometimes.
if anybody is curious, My server was the NZ sever (despite not being from nz at all). id share my username but idk if i want y'all to see that...
