    I was an artist on a Moshi Monsters fan revival project, so I got a glimpse of the back end. The entire game is held together by duct tape. There's bugs that never got fixed because the team was seemingly too focused on adding new products to make merchandise of. The amount of merch is absolutely insane, you can hunt down toys of characters and moshlings not even added to the game because they pretty much gave up. It's a shame too, the game had a lot of potential that never got built upon due to the sheer amount of content added to sell toysets.

      I think over saturation is something that might even be worse than micro transactions (well ofc it depends on how greedy a corporation is an how oversaturated they make a game/franchise, but in my experience, oversaturation ruined more for me.)
      Oversaturation kills things. It makes characters feel obsolete and unimportant. They’ll be forgotten because of the sheer number of figures or playable characters or content that will be added. That’s why I love it when games announce ‘final’ updates. The game doesn’t die, not updating without players knowing if the devs will ever see it again. Instead it sends a message. That the game is complete. It doesn’t need anything more because it has everything already. Every character, mechanic, collectable, there won’t be any more. All of them are special

      the saturation of moshi monster merchandise and toys was insane. I knew someone who was obsessed with Moshi Monsters, bought tons of the cheap crappy collectibles and all that. Now that the games dead and the community only sort of exists, im certain most of this merchandise is worth nothing and all in landfills nowadays. I remember that Guiness Book of World Records around then usually had sections on people who had large collections of things, and one was moshi monsters merchandise.

    As someone who could not/would not convince my parents to pay for the membership as a kid, it takes the mystery behind the paywall away. Blows my mind how the level of fun I imagined was much greater than the reality.

    Fun fact: Mind Candy actually made an ARG game that had players buying card packs that contained puzzles that players had to solve. The main goal was to find a cube that was important to the fictional "Perplex city." The cube was found in 2007 and the person that found it won 120,000 thousand dollars.
    You might have heard of Perplex City from one particular card called "Billion to One" that had a picture of a man, and the words "find me" in Japanese. If you're interested in this card I recommend watching Inside a Mind's videos on the card.

    also, moshi monsters and calm (the wellness app) share a founder, so it was natural for him to merge the two when moshi was essentially at the end of its life. I'm glad the franchise and now kids get to still experience the magic of our silly little moshlings

I remember going nuts when the Zoshlings missions came out. I was a member, I knew all the songs, I was obsessed with the lore, and I loved it. I loved it so much. My house was fully leveled up, stuffed with items. I had quite a few moshings, I beat all the missions with all of the EPICs, I even made my own dance to Moptop Tweenybop and did it in my school talent show. I cannot make this stuff up. I had the DS games. I had posters in my actual room. Some people were into One Direction, I was into Zack Binspin. I still miss it.

    moshi monsters was my first big experience with talking to other people online! i eventually got bored of the same repetitive daily tasks because i didn't have a membership, and somehow found my way to the forums. there in Roary's eyemagination station, or RES, I got my first taste of text based roleplay, which started developing my writing skills, which led to me developing my art skills to draw my ocs! At that point I was NOT there for the base game, I was there for the forums. They even called me one of the Legends back in the day (a term for people who made the most successful roleplays, and a term i REALLY did not deserve).
    I couldn't have cared less what they were doing with the site... up until they installed a very harsh text censoring system and did a forum wipe that deleted two years of stories I'd created with my friends. At that point, I just straight up left.

    GOD, that game was my whole life for a while as a kid. at one point practically every kid in my neighbourhood had the moshi monster toys and we had weekly meetings to trade with eachother so everyone could get rid of their dupes and get their favourites. tcgs like pokemon were never popular here but i will always remember being a kid and scribbling my initials on the bottom of every new moshling i got so that when it was traded around i always knew i had it first. i was so devastated when we moved cities and nobody in my new school had any
    EDIT: OH MAN KATSUMA UNLEASHED... my friend and i shared a copy but we were so bad at it that her older brother had to clear levels for us the whole time. a classic

My most memorable Christmas was when my dad had his friend ship us some of the moshling figures exclusive to the UK (only a handful were available here in the US). I'm in my 20s now but this Christmas my dad got me a few of the keychains for nostalgia purposes and it was glorious. I still have my entire collection.

And can understand the nostalgic joy, as well as some of the more predatory practices that came at the time and be able to take the good with the bad with it not just writing it off as a kids game while also not being absolutely absorbed and in love with it.
