clearly everyone here is a fan of nostalgia, or just the way the internet used to be. and for me that craving goes beyond just social media. as someone who has been playing video games since i could remember, online MMORPGS used to be a massive part of my childhood. so for the fellow people out there like me, here is my list of old internet games that have been rewritten.
rewritten games
Toontown rewritten - free and fairly active rewrite of toontown that gets decent updates. more true to the og game
Toontown: Corporate Clash - a reimagined experience of Toontown, regular updates and free.
The Legend of Pirates Online - recreation of Pirates of the Caribbean Online
Moshi Monsters Rewritten - recreation of the original Moshi Monsters, free and nothing is locked behind a membership paywall like the OG was
New Club Penguin - there have been a few rewrite of club penguin but this one seems like the best one i can find right now
We The Pixies - a pixie hollow rewrite, i dont think this one is as extensive as the other one but the experience is more nostalgic in my opinion.
Fairyabc - another pixie hollow rewrite but this one seems like it has more of a community to it.
MyVMK - recreation of Virtual Magic Kingdom or VMK. this one was my childhood
virtual family kingdom - not tetchily a rewrite but this game popped up around the time of VFK closing. it is similar is style and play but not disney themed, i believe its history themed.
Fantage single player - a small rewrite of parts of fantage, a cute revisit for nostalgia but i dont think its playable long term
Zanterite - a zwinky rewrite. havnt tried this one but seems decent and has some what of a comunity.
neopets classic - sign ups currently closed, but a classic version of neopets. the official Neopets is still running and fairly active though
some wip rewrites
barbiegirls rewritten - a revival of barbiegirls.com, no release date yet
Millsberry - just a repo of someone's rewrite project. no commits for two years so not promising.
miuchiz reborn - a private server and clone of the Miuchiz online game, not open yet it looks like.
UB Funkeys - no likes, but i know there are some people out there trying to rewrite this game, nothing solid though.
If you find anything else i dont have on my list, please share so i can add!
