right now trophies are unbuyable coz vending cap is 1b. Im a weapon and trophy collector and the only ones im missing is mushroom trophy, halloween 2023, gold fish, dao, cursed grimoire and cursed hammer. I rlly want to just collect those items and start a new co op with my friends, but with only 1b coins, i doubt i can get any of them lol. I wish there is a way i can get them...
not really info. just when i started to enjoy the game less. it was around the time when they added the washing machine but it was much further down the update path that i stoped playing it. But im still looking forward to seeing what they make if they make enything new

@@fifiyep sameeeee broooooo I was out with my friends killing slimes all day and I still remember the giveaways where rich people gave out vamp bows and tidal books :(
Real I last touched this game a year ago- I remember making many friends, i had lots of fun, i donated every single time around 500K to people who were poor every time i played *I enjoyed playing this game*
Roblox Islands holds a place in my heart, I will always remember starting my islands with my 2 Cows named Bessie & Buttercup, & My chicken Henry, and I made many friends. I’m gonna miss this game getting updates.
Oh man I remember those hours spent with my best friends from 3 years ago grinding pink sticky gears to finally get our first Industrial Smelter. I remember the rush of dopamine when we broke through 10m coins. I remember the panic of noticing that we only had 2 days left to get christmas tokens and buy the trophy to sell to a shop owner for 250m. I remember the day that we logged on to see all of our coins gone, all of the totems from my amazing multi-million coin per hour auto starfruit farm lost, and a new levels system that rendered our Guilded-Steel pickaxes completely useless. I remember the pure excitement of the Diamond Boss update (cant remember his name), and I remember the intense frustration of when nobody would spawn it. I remember the excitement of crafting our first Rage Blade which we shared and took it in turns to use against the monsters. I remember the pure wonder of exploring the Wizard Island, and then annoyance when we realised that our Rage Blades were no longer useful there. I didn't know it then, but I made so many happy memories with my best friends (who I am no longer in contact with). I would pay a lot to go back to those times.
Here in August/September of 2024 dv plays, who used to be the biggest islands content creator released his new game which is called high realms, it's just like islands but challenging and engaging, I recommend checking it out to anyone who wants to start playing Skyblock like games.
I used to play islands 24/7 and i made alot of core memories bit the reason why i left is i guess that it started to feel overwhelming from all the updates, and after a while i felt as if the updates were pointless and when they updated the main islands i found it hard to adapt to it, I spent 40% of my time just looking for the portal. Islands will always be a core memory of mine, remember chilling in the first main hub listening to the og music. Counting down the time to the Kong Event or checking out the new mailbox update or checking out their new game "bedwars"
I agree with you, I used to play islands 24/7 but nowadays it extremely hard to keep up with the economy, also I think the down fall started from the Jan 2021 wipe.
Same, used to play it all the time! I didn't get overwhelmed by the crazy updates back then, but what really put me off was the lack of user-accessible content over the later months and the last year of it's lifespan. Still going strong though, if only they could rework their code to prevent memory leaks...
what put me off islands was the insane powercreep of weapons that needed long time to grind, then suddenly nerfing all of them. Like static scepter where it was so trash before, but gotten buffed so hard during halloween 2023 that people splurged 250m into it. Right after halloween, the devs changed scepter to become similar to speelbook, shooting projectiles instead of rays, causing people to waste their millions
This game was one of my favorites in 2020, and its so sad to see it become another game that gets left to rot, i came back to the game very recently and started a new islands with my friends and the game is so different. The hub island is way bigger than i remember it being, most islands dont look anything like they used to, except for slime island, and everything is based off a forced progression system due to the leveling system. I will always remember spending 5 hours in the lake getting the aquamrine for the spellbook even if it was painful
Same, I remember fishing in the lake trying to get some propellers for washing stations while talking with my old buddies. So many memories that’s I will never forget.
just saying the inventory wipe was only for players who had duped items on them or bought them i still have my entire inventory and i was playing during beta
I took a break from this game for a few years, and joined back to realize how corrupted the economy became, I remember when smelters were a million coins are 2 million, I had items that cost 200x or more the price it originally was, R.I.P this game, it will never be the same
me too😢 ever since the game ended i felt like my heart was missing something and now i have an empty void waiting to be filled again. I dont think anything can fill that void greater than playing islands.😢😢😢
I played the game a few months after launch and was an active player until the mastery update. The game went from fun grinding to grinding for the sake of grinding for me.I tried to keep playing but at some point it was just to boring for me.
I havent been able to play islands for MONTHS, theres an error that just kicks me everytime I try to join cause it cant load my island. I am really really sad because I was working on an amazing castle, farm and village and I cant work on it anymore. Years of my life since the game first came out gone to waste because people didnt wanna play fair. I wish those people bad luck.
I used to play this game years ago and we have a lot of fun ... and this game is still not rocketing the active players within today and it makes me sad to see the dead game not updating today and it makes me nostalgia these days😢😭
island has alway hold a special place in my heart,i remember when it still called sky block,back then the game was simple and fun but then slowly after bed war came out everything just went down from there,the game start to become more grindy and unfun
This game was very close to my heart and a very huge part of my life so far between th playz and dv playz inspiring to start my own channel this game was amazing i miss the updates already and miss og islands on top of it
The industry in the game does not set a limit on how many items they can produce. Causing high economic inequality among players. Everyone wants to have everything, starting from the mineral industry, agriculture, flowers, combat items, and so on. Players play on their own island, building everything they want, but the devs don't realize the impact. I think for the island to continue running as before, players need to choose their role in the game, for example knight, businessman, farmer, rancher, or others. Roles are commonly found in games that have an economic system in the game world. I think this is a possible solution to create economic balance among players. Anyone read this, i want to know your opinion. Thank you
I remember when i got that ping in the islands discord and i started crying i knew it was going to happen but i still hoped they would continue updating anyways one of the saddest pings i ever got on discord
Amazing video, brings me back to the old days of islands. The game got me through the pandemic when I was just a little kid, and I still am, but it still holds a special spot in my heart. There will never be another islands, but I hope ur channel grows bigger because u deserve it. (Waiting for islands 2 now)
Long story short was they dug their own grave and refused to fix it, they saw bedwars are more profitable = more money for than and last idk how true this is but I heard it from DV but allegedly the coding for islands is archaic especially for modern Roblox games which made it take more time for updates
Islands or should I say, skyblox or skyblock was my go to roblox game back then. Sad they stopped updating. Also there's a game called "Islands Archive" and it perfectly replicates how the OG islands looks like. I'll personally grind the game again because the original island is in shambles with how inflated the price is for everything and since the OG island is much much simpler.
I played from the beginning, when it was called skyblox. I remember I started at the same time the slimes were added, and I saw the game progress so much. It is so sad what slowly happened with the economy, that ended up killing the game, but the weekly updates were also kinda hurtful, if you take a break, you had A LOT to catch up to. This game will always be in my memory :( as it is essentially dead now.
as an og of islands who even has an account named after one of the rare items, i quit long time ago and it was simply because of the grindiness of the game cuz many items on other people's shops seemed overpriced, like my dream item i wanted to get increased the price of it BY ALMOST 10X. and thanks to this video i know about the inventory wipe
I loved Island I still play it time to time but the most I remember playing was building a base, the Halloween 2022 and 23 event and when the underworld I think is called, I spent 3 days, probably 6 hours in each day to get all fragments
I saw friend come and go. Many factors took place. Bed Wars also had an impact on many of my friends leaving islands to play that popular game. Also I agree with other people on here about making items harder to make, and limited items harder to grind. I actually appreciated players that duplicated items. They made it easy for us to get cheaper items at shops.
since they only focused on economy and rare items which anyone can get and get millions, people started leaving and went to other games, which is why skyblock had 60k ccu and then 15k ccu in 2023, then they started earning less money and went for bedwars cause of how p2w the game is
#1, great video shark, that beginning was straight CINEMA, amazing work!!! and #2 OMGOMGOMG, I SAW MYSELF ON DISCORD AT 3:55, MEGA MEMBER!!! YIPPY!!! (btw, you should teach me some editing, im not that good at that stuff yet)
Thankyou! Thank you so much! 1.) The trick to good editing is dedicating a lot of your time into one video. Because the longer you spend editing a video the more you will get done. 2.) Also, have a positive mindset, this is crucial for good editing. 3.) It's your video, everyone has their own editing styles. Don't copy others, as it will not be as fun to edit in the future because of boredness, meaning you will burn out.
Honestly, the duping made me quit the game. While i was grinding wizards, i found a tidal spellbook blueprint and was shocked. For the next 2 days, all I played was islands. I was so happy to get the tidal spellbook because of its value, which was extremely high at the time of release, but nowadays, the dupers shredded its value to it now only being around less than 400k. I felt as if my time would have been better spent doing something else.
Fr. Another thing that made me so mad was the removal of cactus spike bp in crafting it. I grinded like 4 months for cactus spike bp and used it so i could craft it. But then islands decided to make cactus spike dont require bp. I technically wasted my time
it’s sad this game is over it will always hold a special place in my heart the reason it fell off for me was there was so many farms that made getting coins easy making the economy really bad and dupers because islands had to wipe everyone’s inventory at one point so like 60 percent of people left also they made bedwars so I don’t think as many people where focusing on islands and it had to many updates you may think that’s a good thing but it just made the game more confusing so for some people like dv mentioned the game got kinda complicated and lost its simplicity what it used to have anyways as I said islands will always hold a special place in my heart this is just my opinion if you don’t agree that’s okay I hope you guys still enjoy island’s/ won’t forgot it like me if you read all this god bless you
cool video! the sound from the caption was a little bit annoying, but the editing was really good, and i was entertained through the whole video. keep up the good work!
Sorry about that, I already rendered the previous clip, so I couldn’t go back and fix them as I wanted to, but next time I’ll not use the sound effect. Just still testing stuff. Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the video!
I remember playing Islands before and I quit a year or so ago bcs I realised a lot of my stuffs vanished from my inventory and my island we're half destroyed idk why. There was an issue with the save data system the game had. I know a UA-camr named Baxtrix had his whole island destroyed. My stuffs in my inventory was actually stuffs that we're duped and I didn't know about it so I lost so many things. That brought me to decide to forever quit Islands.
To be completely honest I haven't seen a video edited this good in a while. As an Islands player you don't see many videos about the game So it's nice to see some. It was overall a really good vid Really good explanation about how it happened, other peoples clips, and the updates. I have been playing since 2020 It was a really good game with a bunch of potential but. Keep up the good work really good video and I have a feeling you will end up with thousands maybe millions of subscribers. Good Job.
W video SOo Much Nostalgia I Played It When It Was Called "Skyblocks" I witnessed the DV trophy come in game and get duped i witnessed the first ever vending machine 2 😭
Hopefully in the future, a new islands comes out and they find a way to prevent duping in all ways. Even if it may be be hard to code. I’d rather it take them years to make a better version over one that comes out tommorow with a lot of problems
@@Sharknadowars hopefully i made soo much friends in it my besties in irl also played it its just sad that its gone also would u be able to make a game trailer for my game ? its like islands when its done il pay R$
In my opinion (pls don't take that as a joke) is to add taxes, sounds crazy right? Well this can stabilize economy of the game over time considering taxes deletes part of money players have.
I quit because the 2022 halloween events everyone get like 2M coins a trophy i got like 2B from that events and everyone getting rich on that events so i decided to quit many people quit bc that event
I loved islands but then it just got too modern feeling I guess because like a lot of other people I feel OG Islands felt amazing even if I had no friends at the time the game was still good then, like don’t get me wrong I am sure people like how it is now but I feel the grind isn’t fun anymore. And maybe that is because I started playing not that long after release. I respect this fallen gem.
reading the comments made me remember the kong /godzilla event and when we first got coconuts and the weapons related to that event and when a lot of us were in the lobby waiting for portals to pop up to take us to bed wars for it's first release 😭😭 I miss old islands so much :'( the farming event and pvp event..man I wanna cry...when oily crops came man..memories🥺🥺
Cool video. I used to play island last years, everyday I had to work hard, and I collected trophies and blocks and new benches and industries and swords until now I have quitted the game so sad and my heart is breaking since I missed to play this game with my brothers, my reason for quitting that my inventory is little poor, and I have small budget of money in the game, and then till now all items are costs 500K - 1B and like I have quitted the game once I had been busy for months later I come back to the game and I cant afford to buy anything so Im feeling bad to work hard again, so the reason I dont play the game to much because the weekly updates made all item to much cost and my budget is 440M cuz I sold all my inventory but still have more good stuff and I saved other stuff costs 100M and 1B in other alt account and I am trying to remember which account cuz I need to take them now and sell it so I can get richer Keep it up good work!
Is ok, the old island generation will step onto the new generation of island. The new island game will bring the old gen back to it's old enjoyment like it's old island game
I started playing only 2 days after it was realeased. Everyday after school i would play islands and grind, i even got the big fish trophy. I loved to play minigames on my island and give away all my money .❤😢 i will miss you "Skyblock".
Truly sad for me cuz I used to play this game so much and have done everything u could do in the game 1-2 years later I come back to it with a fresh start and it’s just not as fun cuz it’s like a ghost town the game is dead and to realize that there’s gonna be no more updates. I hope they make a new game in the future
I remember when roblox islands were so popular back in 2020-2021 to Dropping down on Stop Update, Lost players, and the players not playing islands for a long time
I don't think people realize that islands is based off a much larger game, hypixel skyblock. It's the original game on hypixel and gets 30k players daily.
I got a bug during one of the Halloween updates and the map from Davey got stuck on top of a tree 💀 Also, economy And finally, my auto onion farm kept lagging 💀
reminds me old school runescape, with og runescape being renowned for all sorts of exploits and duping cases that has affected the economy severely, they will keep doing it no matter what the devs do. the big difference is that islands as a project has discontinued entirely.
Islands not updating is really tearing it down. The player base dropped to around 3-4k and the economy is bonkers. I took a 6 month break and i came back to see stuff costing 100b. It's sad to see that back then everything costed thousands or millions at most to now cost billions as if it were thousands

The economy changes were too crazy, it went from industrial to washing machine being 800k to now 130m.

TLDR: devs got greedy + bedwars was more sustainable
In my opinion, bedwars is quite repetitive unlike many skyrocketing games.
Fr they wanted to focus on bedwars only because it makes more money and you can’t put that much game passes in islands
just saying the inventory wipe was only for players who had duped items on them or bought them i still have my entire inventory and i was playing during beta
and to be fair 4 years is a long time nothing stays for good
Small update: As of now, Islands has recently updated!
WHAT?! WE HAVE HOPE?!😭🙏
I took a break from this game for a few years, and joined back to realize how corrupted the economy became, I remember when smelters were a million coins are 2 million, I had items that cost 200x or more the price it originally was, R.I.P this game, it will never be the same
Ever since the pandemic, islands was once of my most played game. This game was a huge part of my life.
me too😢 ever since the game ended i felt like my heart was missing something and now i have an empty void waiting to be filled again. I dont think anything can fill that void greater than playing islands.😢😢😢

honestly the amount of freaking inflation is crazy i used to remember shops being 100 for cry iron but now its like 1mil
fr, being a billionare is easy at this point, its pointless
@@wtz_under frl
That's actually crazy pricing, you are going to get one crys iron under 10 mins if you jusz place down like 6 iron totems, deffinitly cheaper option.
Exactly and I'm still a fan to this day I'd wonder why no one plays because they lost all the items I played back in 2020
I remember when I found a portal that led me on to bedwars in island
I used to play this game years ago and we have a lot of fun ... and this game is still not rocketing the active players within today and it makes me sad to see the dead game not updating today and it makes me nostalgia these days😢😭
this is CRAZY GOOD. I am surprised you dont got a mil subs or more. this is more underrated than the beginning of islands
Thank you
island has alway hold a special place in my heart,i remember when it still called sky block,back then the game was simple and fun but then slowly after bed war came out everything just went down from there,the game start to become more grindy and unfun
The actual reason is the creation of limited items... If a limited is created it may not be op and if its op then it should be untradable
as an islands go whenever I play islands, or see on my recommended or see videos about it I feel sad knowing that it won't update anymore

Maybe they need to make it outside of Roblox? Because, with Islands on Roblox, there were a lot of limits.
I remember when i got that ping in the islands discord and i started crying i knew it was going to happen but i still hoped they would continue updating anyways one of the saddest pings i ever got on discord
dawg the noise that is added as texts comes up its crazy annoying lol, get rid of it
Another big issue with the game was the rng. Not many people wanted to spend hours just to have a slim chance of getting their desired item.
its sad how islands got an down fall and how there's duplicators that will find any way to dupe thank you for the video.
Let's be honest, at this rate we're never gonna get an Islands 2 (And imma blame Bedwars on that for being so successful)
yeah..
I was playing since day one and to see the game just stop uploading was mind blowing.

It is so sad what slowly happened with the economy, that ended up killing the game, but the weekly updates were also kinda hurtful, if you take a break, you had A LOT to catch up to.
This game will always be in my memory :( as it is essentially dead now.
It was best when it first came out
The fact tsat islands wouldve had ALOT more potential go absolutely dominate the Roblox servers was crazy aswell..please bring back islands🙏
I stopped playing after the inventory wipe destroyed my entire auto farm
Yeah, that’s what got me to play less as well.
i spent so much damn robux on that game AND I WANT IT BACK
as an og of islands who even has an account named after one of the rare items, i quit long time ago and it was simply because of the grindiness of the game cuz many items on other people's shops seemed overpriced, like my dream item i wanted to get increased the price of it BY ALMOST 10X. and thanks to this video i know about the inventory wipe
I hope they transfer game passes if they ever create a new one. This was my childhood.
I loved Island I still play it time to time but the most I remember playing was building a base, the Halloween 2022 and 23 event and when the underworld I think is called, I spent 3 days, probably 6 hours in each day to get all fragments

Also I agree with other people on here about making items harder to make, and limited items harder to grind. I actually appreciated players that duplicated items. They made it easy for us to get cheaper items at shops.
The updates at the end were so mid like they added flowers and furniture every other week
btw if anyone is wondering there is going to be a islands type game but its not make by the makes of islands, its from a UA-cam called dv
Can’t wait
We can get islands 2 before gta6 🗣️🔥
The end of an era...😢
since they only focused on economy and rare items which anyone can get and get millions, people started leaving and went to other games, which is why skyblock had 60k ccu and then 15k ccu in 2023, then they started earning less money and went for bedwars cause of how p2w the game is
#1, great video shark, that beginning was straight CINEMA, amazing work!!! and #2 OMGOMGOMG, I SAW MYSELF ON DISCORD AT 3:55, MEGA MEMBER!!! YIPPY!!! (btw, you should teach me some editing, im not that good at that stuff yet)
Thankyou!
Thank you so much!
1.) The trick to good editing is dedicating a lot of your time into one video. Because the longer you spend editing a video the more you will get done.
2.) Also, have a positive mindset, this is crucial for good editing.
3.) It's your video, everyone has their own editing styles. Don't copy others, as it will not be as fun to edit in the future because of boredness, meaning you will burn out.
@@Sharknadowars thanks for the info, W man frfr
Honestly, the duping made me quit the game. While i was grinding wizards, i found a tidal spellbook blueprint and was shocked. For the next 2 days, all I played was islands. I was so happy to get the tidal spellbook because of its value, which was extremely high at the time of release, but nowadays, the dupers shredded its value to it now only being around less than 400k. I felt as if my time would have been better spent doing something else.
Fr. Another thing that made me so mad was the removal of cactus spike bp in crafting it. I grinded like 4 months for cactus spike bp and used it so i could craft it. But then islands decided to make cactus spike dont require bp. I technically wasted my time
It's still so sad cause this is just an amazing game
it’s sad this game is over it will always hold a special place in my heart the reason it fell off for me was there was so many farms that made getting coins easy making the economy really bad and dupers because islands had to wipe everyone’s inventory at one point so like 60 percent of people left also they made bedwars so I don’t think as many people where focusing on islands and it had to many updates you may think that’s a good thing but it just made the game more confusing so for some people like dv mentioned the game got kinda complicated and lost its simplicity what it used to have anyways as I said islands will always hold a special place in my heart this is just my opinion if you don’t agree that’s okay I hope you guys still enjoy island’s/ won’t forgot it like me if you read all this god bless you
i played everyday since release up until season 3 of bedwars, i quit due to bedwars becoming more popular and islands receiving less and less updates.
cool video! the sound from the caption was a little bit annoying, but the editing was really good, and i was entertained through the whole video. keep up the good work!
Sorry about that, I already rendered the previous clip, so I couldn’t go back and fix them as I wanted to, but next time I’ll not use the sound effect. Just still testing stuff. Thanks for the feedback and glad you enjoyed the video!
@@Sharknadowarswhat's the soundtrack for 6:00?
I left because it felt more like a make a business and factory simulator.
hey man the editing and story line was crazy good im counting days and you will become a well known roblox youtuber Keep up the Hard Work
I have good news, Islands is still updating
I remember playing Islands before and I quit a year or so ago bcs I realised a lot of my stuffs vanished from my inventory and my island we're half destroyed idk why. There was an issue with the save data system the game had. I know a UA-camr named Baxtrix had his whole island destroyed. My stuffs in my inventory was actually stuffs that we're duped and I didn't know about it so I lost so many things. That brought me to decide to forever quit Islands.
Its also the levels fault i have to wait for long time just for items
islands could be more sustainable if they added more game passes or things you could buy with robux.
@@Verdantcastle good thought
@@Sharknadowars like a battlepass for limited themed items or like limited seeds or
People who don't have Robux: UNFAIR
To be completely honest I haven't seen a video edited this good in a while. As an Islands player you don't see many videos about the game So it's nice to see some. It was overall a really good vid Really good explanation about how it happened, other peoples clips, and the updates. I have been playing since 2020 It was a really good game with a bunch of potential but. Keep up the good work really good video and I have a feeling you will end up with thousands maybe millions of subscribers. Good Job.
Wow, thanks
@@Sharknadowars You're Welcome :D
mb i couldnt stop my friend from duping billions of smelters 😭
Billions💀
W video SOo Much Nostalgia I Played It When It Was Called "Skyblocks" I witnessed the DV trophy come in game and get duped i witnessed the first ever vending machine 2 😭
Hopefully in the future, a new islands comes out and they find a way to prevent duping in all ways. Even if it may be be hard to code. I’d rather it take them years to make a better version over one that comes out tommorow with a lot of problems
@@Sharknadowars hopefully i made soo much friends in it my besties in irl also played it its just sad that its gone also would u be able to make a game trailer for my game ? its like islands when its done il pay R$
@@RagezzGamingKitchen sure, just dm me details on discord.

I remember using alt acc to get easy berry seeds, good times.
Its sad to see it sinking into the bottom of the forgotten.
This video is very high quality, I was surprised you have under 1k subscribers! Keep up the good work!
Nvm, we just wait for the new skyblock game to be realeased (Hight realms) CREATED FROM DVplayz
Guided steel hammer gang
In my opinion (pls don't take that as a joke) is to add taxes, sounds crazy right? Well this can stabilize economy of the game over time considering taxes deletes part of money players have.
That would benefit the rich more though over the poor players. Unless taxes are higher for richer players
@@Sharknadowars the taxes that depend on inflation or smt like that
I quit because the 2022 halloween events everyone get like 2M coins a trophy i got like 2B from that events and everyone getting rich on that events so i decided to quit many people quit bc that event
I loved islands but then it just got too modern feeling I guess because like a lot of other people I feel OG Islands felt amazing even if I had no friends at the time the game was still good then, like don’t get me wrong I am sure people like how it is now but I feel the grind isn’t fun anymore. And maybe that is because I started playing not that long after release. I respect this fallen gem.
I will never stop playing this game, my first. I will be there when there are no players. And i will see you, in a few, years.
reading the comments made me remember the kong /godzilla event and when we first got coconuts and the weapons related to that event and when a lot of us were in the lobby waiting for portals to pop up to take us to bed wars for it's first release 😭😭 I miss old islands so much :'( the farming event and pvp event..man I wanna cry...when oily crops came man..memories🥺🥺
Cool video.
I used to play island last years, everyday I had to work hard, and I collected trophies and blocks and new benches and industries and swords until now I have quitted the game so sad and my heart is breaking since I missed to play this game with my brothers, my reason for quitting that my inventory is little poor, and I have small budget of money in the game, and then till now all items are costs 500K - 1B and like I have quitted the game once I had been busy for months later I come back to the game and I cant afford to buy anything so Im feeling bad to work hard again, so the reason I dont play the game to much because the weekly updates made all item to much cost and my budget is 440M cuz I sold all my inventory but still have more good stuff and I saved other stuff costs 100M and 1B in other alt account and I am trying to remember which account cuz I need to take them now and sell it so I can get richer
Keep it up good work!
This editing is as good as someone with 300k+ subs your so underatted!
Alright let’s get to 300k now…
I miss islands btw nice video u will be a great roblox youtuber.
Im glad you liked it and thankyou
Is ok, the old island generation will step onto the new generation of island. The new island game will bring the old gen back to it's old enjoyment like it's old island game
I started playing only 2 days after it was realeased. Everyday after school i would play islands and grind, i even got the big fish trophy. I loved to play minigames on my island and give away all my money .❤😢 i will miss you "Skyblock".
1b coins for your fish festival 2021 trophy 🥺🙏
i have 1 billion coins now.
So.. no more update in the future? Or they are just taking a break
Yo its 2024 WAKE UP
i know im late but dv plays is making a game like islands called high realms
Yeah, I saw a video about him doing that. When it comes out I might make a video on it.
@@Sharknadowars it's already out been out for about 2 weeks now
Truly sad for me cuz I used to play this game so much and have done everything u could do in the game 1-2 years later I come back to it with a fresh start and it’s just not as fun cuz it’s like a ghost town the game is dead and to realize that there’s gonna be no more updates.
I hope they make a new game in the future
Good editing!
Thanks!
I remember when roblox islands were so popular back in 2020-2021 to Dropping down on Stop Update, Lost players, and the players not playing islands for a long time
Probably because there more updates there were it was getting to out of hand for players to keep up with.
I don't think people realize that islands is based off a much larger game, hypixel skyblock. It's the original game on hypixel and gets 30k players daily.
anyone miss the og roblox "skyblock" with the og hub, og menu, og starting island?
me and the music too
me too
@@johnparkes2452 yeah
I played this game with my family but it soon got to complicated and confusing for us
I got a bug during one of the Halloween updates and the map from Davey got stuck on top of a tree 💀
Also, economy
And finally, my auto onion farm kept lagging 💀
absolutely editing maddness
Thankyou!
reminds me old school runescape, with og runescape being renowned for all sorts of exploits and duping cases that has affected the economy severely, they will keep doing it no matter what the devs do. the big difference is that islands as a project has discontinued entirely.
Islands not updating is really tearing it down. The player base dropped to around 3-4k and the economy is bonkers. I took a 6 month break and i came back to see stuff costing 100b. It's sad to see that back then everything costed thousands or millions at most to now cost billions as if it were thousands
Update islands, I've been playing the game since it dropped and it's quite unfair to those who really enjoy playing the game...
im with you man :(
hopefully the new upcoming island game will have npc's that don't stay still
lol
