I’m what could be considered a ‘regular’ on Worlds and I can confirm Nexialist is just a chill dude who just occasionally messes with new players because let’s be real, there isn’t that much to do on worlds besides chat and explore these days.

i actually met a moderator for this game on omegle. i was surprised people still actually cared for this game. basically her job is to stop all that child porn n stuff. pretty cool
I'm almost 50 and remember Worlds very well. My GF & myself became a little obsessed with the game. It was the first time I had experienced VR chat & I was blown away at the potential. In those days you needed a lot of imagination to have fun, but many took it really seriously. We joined a group who all had elf Avatars and would surround unsuspecting people and do 'crazy elf stuff'. I was the official Elf Ambassador in charge of recruiting new people to our 'cause'. I remember attending an 'Elf wedding ' in outer space between a Nurse from the UK and an interior designer from NYC. They had fallen in love and wanted to get married in the game. My GF took it so seriously I remember her dressing up just to sit in front of the computer to attend the wedding. Great memories, amazing people....and so much fun .....not to mention all the drama!!
i mean considering the sanic avatar and the obvious reference to "there is no war in ba sing se" it's pretty obvious that nexialist is just a normal person goofing around

Actually, fun fact. Toontown is still around. It is just called Toontown: Rewritten now. The official Disney one got scrapped, but one of the devs remade it, however with no way of monetizing it due to possible legal problems.
@@aryaa9900 except with Club Penguin, it's multiple recreations that are known as CPPS (Club Penguin Private Servers) and that they are created purely by fans
To me there is nothing creepier than loading into an online game and no one else is online and it's completely empty and barren, silence all around you exploring alone and no one to interact with, that's what really creeps me out it gives me a feeling like I'm not alone and I'm being watched yet also a feeling of complete loneliness
playing CS 1.6 in 2023 is scary, at any point an empty server is joined by some hardened veteran of the game originating from an unspeakable village in Siberia that's gonna run your ass and leave the game immediately later
Rather than creepy, it makes me sad. I played a lot of these dead games when I was a a kid or a teen. I see worlds where I had adventures with friends, so full of life, now empty.
Ironically i can still log into my same UO and DAOC accounts...but if anyone is to be found theyre just forgotten bots on autopilot. old guild halls replaced by empty houses. friends all moved on long ago. empty worlds where the stories dont matter because nobody is left to hear them. devs, friends.. long moved on or deceased irl. and people say the internet is nothing like real life, theyre wrong. maybe eventually everyone ends up alone in a hollow world..
Currently having that experience on Minecraft Bedrock due to a crippling bug on the PC port which is preventing most of the players on the server from getting on due to "Outdated Client" since the update they need to play was pulled for that reason Not as long term as the other examples but has the same vibes
I remember checking out this game many years ago. Never spoke to Nexialist but I saw him floating above the main hub a few times. Some other players, who had creepy avatars in their own right, greeted me in the starting area and gave me a tour of some of their favorite worlds including ones they were still creating. Most were horror related (at least, once you dug deeper into the seemingly innocent levels) and had secrets scattered throughout. I get the feeling they were trying to bring me into their fold, as it was a pretty empty and lonely game even then. There is a lot they had shown me that wasn't covered in this video, but I think some things are best kept a mystery. There's a lot of fun in exploring the game for yourself, and I can only imagine what else those strange players have created since.
@@ancient122 I genuinely really like it even though the options are limited. Just the user interface for actual in-depth customization is fucking abysmal and would give just about anyone an aneurysm.
You guys just don’t understand how weird the internet was in the early 90’s. Nexpo pronouncing David Bowie as David Buoy and not knowing George Costanza is a character from Seinfeld is too funny.
His whole channel only works because Nexpo seems to be very lacking in knowledge about well known things. Like half of the content in his "disturbing things from the Internet" videos are just animals like pumas or foxes screaming, but he's always "bUt wHaTeVeR CoUlD ThIs sOuNd bE? iS It a gHoSt oR A SpIrIt, Or sOmEoNe wItH MeNtAl iLlNeSs, BeCaUsE YoU KnOw hErE At nExPo wE HaVe nO PrObLeM WiTh sPrEaDiNg lIeS AnD FaLsEhOoDs aBoUt mEnTaLlY IlL PeOpLe aNd aDdInG T ThE EnOrMoUs sTiGmA ThEy hAvE To fAcE, eVeN ThOuGh mEnTaLlY IlL PeOpLe aRe jUsT NoRmAl pEoPlE In aN UnFoRtUnAtE SiTuAtIoN AnD ThEy dOn't sOuNd oR LoOk lIkE HoW ThEy dO In mOvIeS. nAh, IgNoRe aLl tHaT, iT MuSt bE A CrAzY MeNtAlLy iLl pErSoN KiLlInG SoMeOnE AnD ScReAmInG, yEaH ThAt's mOrE LiKeLy tHaN An aNiMaL MaKiNg tHaT SoUnD. iT BrInG A GhOsT Is mOrE LiKeLy tOo, DeSpItE ThE LaCk oF AnY EvIdEnCe eVeR FrOm aLl oF HiStOrY ThAt gHoStS ExIsT" His lack of knowledge about really commonly known things, despite the fact he's apparently a full grown adult, is just embarrassing Like he constantly even gets the pronunciation of really common words wrong. In literally every video he says "subsequently" in a very bizarre way, like "sub-ZEEE-kwent-lee" instead of the actual pronunciation, "SUB-sa-kwent-lee". That's just one example. He mispronounces words constantly. I wouldn't be surprised if his next video starts with "number 15, burger King foot lettuce". I enjoy a lot of Nexpo's videos but he always makes these very bizzare mistakes that it's just baffling to see, like who on earth doesn't know who David Bowie was? I can understand not knowing George Costanza, because both the show Seinfeld and the comedian Jerry Seinfeld are completely unknown outside of North America. Like nobody in the UK has ever heard of Seinfeld, or even Curb Your Enthusiasm. I seem to be the only brit who's ever watched either of them. Mind you Nexpo sounds like he's an american so be has no excuse really. The only valid excuse would be if he was actually still a child, and he just has a really deep voice for a teenager. Because then it makes sense that he knows so little about the world. But look at photos of him. Dude's a full grown ass adult.
@@duffman18 I mean, yeah, but the channel is also a million subscriber kind of thing aimed at, for lack of a better term, normies. Every single thing he covers is pretty well known outside of the mainstream, and covered way better and in more detail by smaller UA-camrs. He just talks about the same shit but puts spooky music and glitch filters on it.
@@duffman18 100% agree with you on everything, EXCEPT for Seinfeld being unknown outside of the US - it was one of the biggest shows in the world during its run. But yeah, it kinda takes away from my enjoyment of his videos knowing that Nexpo has this bizarrely childish awareness of culture and his native language lmao.
nexialist: enigmatic cult leader that gives people tours of mysterious worlds also nexialist: *uses sanic avatars, repeatedly spams THERE IS NO CULT and is almost confirmed as some random trolling peole* its pretty clear this man is a chad
I could do without the voice modulator. The story speaks for itself and doesn't need the boost. I adore your videos, but the modulator's been throwing me off. It feels like it's forcing the eerie factor, but your voice itself has enough power to carry the story. Still love your content, though.
@@not-me9450 now i imagine that video of the guy saying "hey i'm just here in new york just hangin out" and then he sees that weird guy staring at him in the background, but now with this nickname of the guy they mentioned hahaha
It’s insane how many people find this stuff to be genuinely creepy. All of it is just art that is meant to provoke these reactions that cause people to make videos about them; weaving together a story that gets people hooked simply because it is presented as being mysterious. Realistically, anyone who would legitimately be doing nefarious things wouldn’t do it in literal plain sight.
necroposting a bit here but i’m really glad someone said what i was thinking as i was watching this. this whole thing reads like the bizarre creative endeavors of a bunch of weirdos who like horror art, especially cult themes. nexialist especially is clearly just a digital artist who loves showing off his works
This makes me think of all the criminals throughout history who were doing nefarious things in plain sight and took several years to get caught. Tons of cases of this in recent history, a lot of which were on some type of social media platform *cough* 4chan *cough* so it’s really not that difficult to imagine at all. Not saying that’s what these people are doing, but yeah.
@@Omnibushido- like what for instance? I agree that it does happen, but usually it’s not something super obvious like this where the people actively want others to speculate and make videos about it to draw others in
Pretty much. A handful of people still online, or who came across the fact that the game was still up, probably decided to put some stories on 4chan and see if they could screw with some people.
fun fact for anyone: this game is still currently running Edit: I did a little bit of research. Turns out it seems that the owner renewed the patent because just a few months ago he filed a lawsuit against microsoft for minecraft.
@@indexwell6546 He owns the rights to something with a multi player game. So he is doing these law suits all the time. That's the only way the game still makes money.
"It begs the question: What is so pivotal about this game that it is still in existence over 20 years later?" I dunno man, maybe the guy recognizes the amount of effort people put into their worlds? Maybe he recognizes the artistry that went into so many of them, and the love that was put into them? Maybe he himself still loves his baby and wants to keep it going as a piece of history? It doesn't have to be sinister when there's so many other, far more likely explanations.
I clicked immediately, and I really like your content Nexpo, but I can't listen to your newer videos with headphones on anymore due to the physical discomfort that having the extra distorted voice causes. I'm not sure if its just a problem with me and my ears, but it doesn't make things extra spooky or even more entertaining. Even without headphones, it's just distracting for me. Gonna keep on until the end though cause I just can't miss out on the stuff you make!
yeah i agree, i have sensory processing sensitivity and trying to watch this is giving me a headache :c i really like nexpo and hope this isnt a permanent thing!! will still finish the vid tho lol
@ᜃ ᜋᜃᜆᜂ Capitalist? Copyright and patents are protectionism, antithetical to capitalism. Might want to think it through before posting something this stupid.
@ᜃ ᜋᜃᜆᜂ You're in no place to claim I don't understand something when you don't understand your own statement and how stupid it sounds. Patent laws and copyright aren't capitalist. Exploiting people with patents is borderline scamming. A capitalist market awards creations that people want and pay for, not some idiot with a grant from the government interfering in such creations. If anything, he's just using left wing economic policies to legally scam people.
@ᜃ ᜋᜃᜆᜂ Exactly, you're right, but that's not capitalist is it? Bribing the government and both parties to implement/uphold laws, which makes the barrier of entrance for competitors higher... that's quite the opposite. That was my point. I personally would like to see them gone but yeah, reforming them is a compromise that's good enough in my book. I've been a victim of patent trolls, it's a huge waste of time and money, and it's predatory.
For everyone that find this video interesting, I highly recomment you all to play this virtual world at least once, its a great remnant from the 80's-90's, it's not all scary and dangerous as everyone picture it.
Alternatively it’s comparable to raids on games like Roblox, Animal Jam, etc. where a bunch of people have the same avatar and just spam the same thing over and over.
I remeber being like 8 and my dad saying that the next gen consoles were going to have online multiplayer.he was an early adopter of pc. The concept of playing with someone in another country like they were in your living room was unthinkable i thought he was out of his mind. Simpler times
Imagine player unknowns battlegrounds trying to sue epic for the battle royale format for fortnite after using unreal engine to build their game. Its that kind of world.
It doesn't have to hold up in court. All it has to do is provoke the people being sued into paying a relatively small amount of money to the troll instead of paying a much larger amount of money to take the troll to court.
Honestly the most sinister part of this whole ordeal is how people can just profit off legal grey areas and loop holes and live lavish for decades doing next to nothing...
They're keeping it alive on purpose because some of the cases related to patent infringement are still going on. The owner of this web site is a huge patent troll.
Back in 2011-12, maybe earlier, there were some threads on /x/ just like this. A bunch of people logged into the game on the first night, and we all hung out, and got the shit scared out of us when Nexialist popped in. Three days later there was only four or five people that stuck around from the group, but nexialist kept popping up, trying to show us around the place. Some days, he'd be giant, literally 100x taller than anybody. Other days he'd just be a floating head, or a kind of Will 'o the Wisp, just a little flame floating around, with his name attached. He showed me around.. some scary, scary places. Never really said anything. Sometimes he'd repeat sentences over and over again in certain places. Like he kept on hitting a button, or trigger. Maybe a month or so went by, then life did its' thing, and I just forgot about the game, .exe file still on my desktop. Years and years later, and a few hard drives later too, I'm watching this, pausing it halfway through to remember my strolls through hell, and a david bowie love shrine, with Nexialist, and that one other guy.
I know jimbly and yes that is accurate. He deleted some of the world in 2012 after 4chan raided them but a few are still up just changed the urls and is more lowkey
There was a streamer named Vinesauce who played Worlds on his live stream in early 2012. He encountered a player named Jofua who used the same avatar as Nexialist and several times sent private messages (called "whispers" in Worlds) to Vinesauce during the stream. The messages were rather ominous. Vinesauce refused to answer Jofua's messages and I think Jofua just gave up after awhile. The other players who were with Vinesauce mentioned Nexialist when they saw Jofua's avater, so they definitely knew about him. Hearing about Nexialist and seeing the red faced avatar just reminded me of that stream from 7 years ago. Whether Jofua was a part of some group with Nexialist or just an impersonator, I have no idea. Either way, it's rather creepy.
I feel like it's the frequency of us, the fact that it's sustained perpetually throughout the video, that is the issue rather than the usage of a voice modulator in of itself. The way the modulator is implemented, in terms of how it sounds, is actually pretty solid. I like how it doesn't cover up his whole voice and kind of acts as a distorted echo to his regular voice. If utilized sparsely throughout instead, at specific and distinct opportune moments, it could actually be pretty effective at adding to the intensity of the eeriness. Like if it showed up rarely for a particular word during a darker and more disturbing moment in the video, then it could be really impactful. To retain it's ability to enhance the omnibus atmosphere, it would have to infrequent enough that you never expect to hear it whenever it ends up being used, that way it catches you off guard. The issue with the modulators consistent presence is that you almost instantly become desynthetized to it and so it loses it's ability to effect you in any meaningful way, but if used in a more restrained fashion, I feel like it would pretty great for contributing to the tone of the video in a stylish way. Anyways, love the videos, they're always great!
"i couldn't seem to get into contact with jimbly after i emailed him" Proceeds to send the most FBI-esque undercover email imaginable with the cleanest email account out of the blue to the guy. I wonder why he didn't get back to you. I wouldn't either. Lol.
Yeah, Nexpo was too green for that job. You gotta play the game, blend in. He came off like a narc in that email lol. We need the Donnie Brasco of the internet age for the undercover bits.
The internet in the 90s was a place where people could be as strange, as horrid, or as creepy as they wanted and actually had a chance at saying anonymous. I spent way too much time on the internet in those days. I was a reckless kid, but thankfully I didn't do anything too bad before I discovered how much time gameplay based MMOs could consume.
@@tannerlawley8435 Oh, nothing at all. If they don't like it, that's fair. I just don't particularly like that there are so many comments about the one specific complaint. It just creates a lot of clutter. If someone else already said it once, just thumbs up the comment and move on, I say.
@Nexpo actually, the mispronunciation is funnier for people that are aware of the character lol. It’s an almost unintended irony that is fitting to what George Costanza represented haha.
Too Long, Didn't watch? The Game's creator is keeping the servers up so He can sue anyone else who makes an MMO of a similar style. Aight, bois, here's the plan: Declare International Worlds .com day and have everyone play the game, racking up bandwidth and server cost on this asshole until he's forced to stop or go legit.
The servers would jusst go down for a day, then will be casually put up within a month or so. Nothing will happen even if you constantly DDOS him, the patent is still working. And I'm pretty sure the big corporations like Blizzard can afford (and would not hesitate to) ddos Worlds, if that would help.
I love the implication that clowns are not human or real people.
TheBloodThirstyvamp there is no implications, this is just facts

Actually, fun fact. Toontown is still around. It is just called Toontown: Rewritten now. The official Disney one got scrapped, but one of the devs remade it, however with no way of monetizing it due to possible legal problems.

To me there is nothing creepier than loading into an online game and no one else is online and it's completely empty and barren, silence all around you exploring alone and no one to interact with, that's what really creeps me out it gives me a feeling like I'm not alone and I'm being watched yet also a feeling of complete loneliness
Have u played No player's online ?
playing CS 1.6 in 2023 is scary, at any point an empty server is joined by some hardened veteran of the game originating from an unspeakable village in Siberia that's gonna run your ass and leave the game immediately later
Rather than creepy, it makes me sad. I played a lot of these dead games when I was a a kid or a teen. I see worlds where I had adventures with friends, so full of life, now empty.
Ironically i can still log into my same UO and DAOC accounts...but if anyone is to be found theyre just forgotten bots on autopilot. old guild halls replaced by empty houses. friends all moved on long ago. empty worlds where the stories dont matter because nobody is left to hear them. devs, friends.. long moved on or deceased irl. and people say the internet is nothing like real life, theyre wrong. maybe eventually everyone ends up alone in a hollow world..
Currently having that experience on Minecraft Bedrock due to a crippling bug on the PC port which is preventing most of the players on the server from getting on due to "Outdated Client" since the update they need to play was pulled for that reason

I remember checking out this game many years ago. Never spoke to Nexialist but I saw him floating above the main hub a few times. Some other players, who had creepy avatars in their own right, greeted me in the starting area and gave me a tour of some of their favorite worlds including ones they were still creating. Most were horror related (at least, once you dug deeper into the seemingly innocent levels) and had secrets scattered throughout. I get the feeling they were trying to bring me into their fold, as it was a pretty empty and lonely game even then.
There is a lot they had shown me that wasn't covered in this video, but I think some things are best kept a mystery. There's a lot of fun in exploring the game for yourself, and I can only imagine what else those strange players have created since.
Did one of them go by waldegraves?

You guys just don’t understand how weird the internet was in the early 90’s. Nexpo pronouncing David Bowie as David Buoy and not knowing George Costanza is a character from Seinfeld is too funny.
His whole channel only works because Nexpo seems to be very lacking in knowledge about well known things. Like half of the content in his "disturbing things from the Internet" videos are just animals like pumas or foxes screaming, but he's always "bUt wHaTeVeR CoUlD ThIs sOuNd bE? iS It a gHoSt oR A SpIrIt, Or sOmEoNe wItH MeNtAl iLlNeSs, BeCaUsE YoU KnOw hErE At nExPo wE HaVe nO PrObLeM WiTh sPrEaDiNg lIeS AnD FaLsEhOoDs aBoUt mEnTaLlY IlL PeOpLe aNd aDdInG T ThE EnOrMoUs sTiGmA ThEy hAvE To fAcE, eVeN ThOuGh mEnTaLlY IlL PeOpLe aRe jUsT NoRmAl pEoPlE In aN UnFoRtUnAtE SiTuAtIoN AnD ThEy dOn't sOuNd oR LoOk lIkE HoW ThEy dO In mOvIeS. nAh, IgNoRe aLl tHaT, iT MuSt bE A CrAzY MeNtAlLy iLl pErSoN KiLlInG SoMeOnE AnD ScReAmInG, yEaH ThAt's mOrE LiKeLy tHaN An aNiMaL MaKiNg tHaT SoUnD. iT BrInG A GhOsT Is mOrE LiKeLy tOo, DeSpItE ThE LaCk oF AnY EvIdEnCe eVeR FrOm aLl oF HiStOrY ThAt gHoStS ExIsT"
His lack of knowledge about really commonly known things, despite the fact he's apparently a full grown adult, is just embarrassing
Like he constantly even gets the pronunciation of really common words wrong. In literally every video he says "subsequently" in a very bizarre way, like "sub-ZEEE-kwent-lee" instead of the actual pronunciation, "SUB-sa-kwent-lee". That's just one example. He mispronounces words constantly.
I wouldn't be surprised if his next video starts with "number 15, burger King foot lettuce". I enjoy a lot of Nexpo's videos but he always makes these very bizzare mistakes that it's just baffling to see, like who on earth doesn't know who David Bowie was? I can understand not knowing George Costanza, because both the show Seinfeld and the comedian Jerry Seinfeld are completely unknown outside of North America. Like nobody in the UK has ever heard of Seinfeld, or even Curb Your Enthusiasm. I seem to be the only brit who's ever watched either of them. Mind you Nexpo sounds like he's an american so be has no excuse really.
The only valid excuse would be if he was actually still a child, and he just has a really deep voice for a teenager. Because then it makes sense that he knows so little about the world. But look at photos of him. Dude's a full grown ass adult.
@@duffman18 I mean, yeah, but the channel is also a million subscriber kind of thing aimed at, for lack of a better term, normies.

Your gut feeling is always and I mean always right 😉
It’s insane how many people find this stuff to be genuinely creepy. All of it is just art that is meant to provoke these reactions that cause people to make videos about them; weaving together a story that gets people hooked simply because it is presented as being mysterious. Realistically, anyone who would legitimately be doing nefarious things wouldn’t do it in literal plain sight.
necroposting a bit here but i’m really glad someone said what i was thinking as i was watching this. this whole thing reads like the bizarre creative endeavors of a bunch of weirdos who like horror art, especially cult themes. nexialist especially is clearly just a digital artist who loves showing off his works
This makes me think of all the criminals throughout history who were doing nefarious things in plain sight and took several years to get caught. Tons of cases of this in recent history, a lot of which were on some type of social media platform *cough* 4chan *cough* so it’s really not that difficult to imagine at all.

"It begs the question: What is so pivotal about this game that it is still in existence over 20 years later?" I dunno man, maybe the guy recognizes the amount of effort people put into their worlds?

It doesn't have to hold up in court. All it has to do is provoke the people being sued into paying a relatively small amount of money to the troll instead of paying a much larger amount of money to take the troll to court.

Back in 2011-12, maybe earlier, there were some threads on /x/ just like this. A bunch of people logged into the game on the first night, and we all hung out, and got the shit scared out of us when Nexialist popped in. Three days later there was only four or five people that stuck around from the group, but nexialist kept popping up, trying to show us around the place. Some days, he'd be giant, literally 100x taller than anybody. Other days he'd just be a floating head, or a kind of Will 'o the Wisp, just a little flame floating around, with his name attached. He showed me around.. some scary, scary places. Never really said anything. Sometimes he'd repeat sentences over and over again in certain places. Like he kept on hitting a button, or trigger. Maybe a month or so went by, then life did its' thing, and I just forgot about the game, .exe file still on my desktop.

There was a streamer named Vinesauce who played Worlds on his live stream in early 2012. He encountered a player named Jofua who used the same avatar as Nexialist and several times sent private messages (called "whispers" in Worlds) to Vinesauce during the stream. The messages were rather ominous. Vinesauce refused to answer Jofua's messages and I think Jofua just gave up after awhile. The other players who were with Vinesauce mentioned Nexialist when they saw Jofua's avater, so they definitely knew about him.
Hearing about Nexialist and seeing the red faced avatar just reminded me of that stream from 7 years ago. Whether Jofua was a part of some group with Nexialist or just an impersonator, I have no idea. Either way, it's rather creepy.

The way the modulator is implemented, in terms of how it sounds, is actually pretty solid. I like how it doesn't cover up his whole voice and kind of acts as a distorted echo to his regular voice. If utilized sparsely throughout instead, at specific and distinct opportune moments, it could actually be pretty effective at adding to the intensity of the eeriness.
Like if it showed up rarely for a particular word during a darker and more disturbing moment in the video, then it could be really impactful. To retain it's ability to enhance the omnibus atmosphere, it would have to infrequent enough that you never expect to hear it whenever it ends up being used, that way it catches you off guard. The issue with the modulators consistent presence is that you almost instantly become desynthetized to it and so it loses it's ability to effect you in any meaningful way, but if used in a more restrained fashion, I feel like it would pretty great for contributing to the tone of the video in a stylish way. Anyways, love the videos, they're always great!
It didn’t die, it evolved into roblox.
and that's on god
@@prismen5535 Oof
That’s on foe nem!!
More like second life, imvu or even vrchat, let's be honest. Worlds was built as a social platform, not a game platform.
I-
"i couldn't seem to get into contact with jimbly after i emailed him" Proceeds to send the most FBI-esque undercover email imaginable with the cleanest email account out of the blue to the guy. I wonder why he didn't get back to you. I wouldn't either. Lol.
fr i woulda thought i was under investigation if i got that email
How do you have a clean email account? Like no spam? Lmao
@@bluevanga30 nah i meant like no random numbers or weird phrases in the email address. Makes it seem even more suspicious.
Yeah, Nexpo was too green for that job. You gotta play the game, blend in. He came off like a narc in that email lol. We need the Donnie Brasco of the internet age for the undercover bits.
"The game is completely deserted... Or is it? Hey VSauce, Michael here."
vsauce played on active worlds, which is worlds.com's main competitor
@@neonaaron that was Vinesauce lol not Vsauce
Where are your fingers?
That was so fake.
The internet in the 90s was a place where people could be as strange, as horrid, or as creepy as they wanted and actually had a chance at saying anonymous. I spent way too much time on the internet in those days. I was a reckless kid, but thankfully I didn't do anything too bad before I discovered how much time gameplay based MMOs could consume.
People won't shut up about the stupid voice effect, but I'm more concerned by how Nexpo pronounced George Costanza. Y'all need Seinfeld in your lives.
He acted like it was just that dude's real name lmfao
I took that L
I need to watch Seinfeld hahah
Rob Womble
What’s wrong with people rightfully complaining about something?
@@tannerlawley8435 Oh, nothing at all. If they don't like it, that's fair. I just don't particularly like that there are so many comments about the one specific complaint. It just creates a lot of clutter. If someone else already said it once, just thumbs up the comment and move on, I say.
@Nexpo actually, the mispronunciation is funnier for people that are aware of the character lol. It’s an almost unintended irony that is fitting to what George Costanza represented haha.
“Let’s throw it back” LMAOOOOO NEXPO NOOOOOOOO
I’d pay to see that occur.
Too Long, Didn't watch?
The Game's creator is keeping the servers up so He can sue anyone else who makes an MMO of a similar style.
Aight, bois, here's the plan:
Declare International Worlds .com day and have everyone play the game, racking up bandwidth and server cost on this asshole until he's forced to stop or go legit.
The servers would jusst go down for a day, then will be casually put up within a month or so. Nothing will happen even if you constantly DDOS him, the patent is still working. And I'm pretty sure the big corporations like Blizzard can afford (and would not hesitate to) ddos Worlds, if that would help.
worlds is fun tho lol
Nice
let's do it, gamers
It's ending this year
