childhood online computer games? (club penguin, webkinz, etc)

i remember waking up at like 5 to play club penguin and the build a bear game for hours before school
 
I still have the same Webkinz account that I made back in June 2008, and once in a while I get on just to goof around. It's not as fun as it used to be, but I still like doing the house decorating n stuff.

Also I'm 19 but there's still a Webkinz I really want, one that I've wanted since March 2011. The signature endangered red panda. It's been almost 8 years and I still don't have it ^^"
 
I played roblox back when I was 13 in 2013. I have fond and very funny memories from all the games I played on roblox. Nowadays the games I love are either broken or shut down due to updates that break scripts and code. I’m 18 now and I still play roblox from time to time but I only play phantom forces lol
 
Neopets and Toontown took over my life at some point. I also used to play other games like club penguin, pixie hollow, and a couple of the neopet spinoff games (Don't get me started on key quest)
 
Poptropica, roblox, and bingbangpow(or something like that idk it was shut down and feels almost, frustrateingly, untraceble) were what i killed my little child braincells with. I even stole my stepdads credit card and used to to get gold bags for bingbamboom, then i gambled them away in simon says or the shell game in hopes of getting rare items. It was gambleing and i was so proud of the collection of rare stuff i had on my main island. Rip bingbangboom.
 
When I was about 9/10 years old I used to play on the Bubblegum Bods website, it had loads of mini games on it and 100s of blank pictures you could print off to colour in!
sadly I don't think it's around anymore :(
 
i loved playing clubpenguin when it was around. i remember playing with my dad when i was younger and i bought those toys with the codes lol, but then they changed it to club penguin island so :/
 
I played a lot of Nicktropolis, Meez, Club Penguin and Barbie Girl. I use to have thing called a Muichiz (Bratz version) and I use to play on the online world alot. I also played on the tamagochi world too lol.

One of the best things on the internet for me when i was little was club penguin, specifically those spy missions theyd make. Those were just SO cool id spend whole afternoons doing them when i was a child and they were legitemately really funny and interactive! I still remember them very clearly and the polar bear villain was just way too funny. i miss those times, man. i read club penguin took those missions out some years prior from the actual closure of the site
 
I used to play club penguin, poptropica and webkinz all the time! I know a few years ago my friends and I went back onto those websites and we would play them lol. The mini games were really fun on Poptropica, and our favorite islands were the Greek mythology one and the crypts one. When I started on webkinz again, we only did the free ones so it wasn't as nice, but we still enjoyd it. It really was a lot of fun, and I miss that.
 
Oh my god, when I was a lot younger webkinz was my LIFE! I had several pages of pets and even had like two one pet alt accounts! I'd play with a few of my friends all the time too. My house was sick (much unlike my current ACNL house which is an ugly mess LOL). I even revived my webkinz account like 2 years ago to check up on it again and bought a 5$ online code for a new pet (through the webkinz official store) and played, there are some cool new features like a park where you can go and pick up trash for recycling points hahaha. It was nice playing all the games again too and tending to my in-house farms again... But after a while I gave up, it is a grind like any other game and it lost its charm after a while. I still love it though and still have a few of them lying around, maybe...

Besides Webkinz, I also played Club Penguin, Poptropica (it was a huuuge game to play in middle-high school during free time or computer time hahaha), other miniclip games, and other minigames websites (like 443 something? a stream of numbers for chinese web games?), and Neopets!! I also remember playing this one official minigame for power rangers...

Those were simpler and pretty good times, I wouldn't trade the freedom of being an adult for anything though!
 
I used to play Neopets and ToonTown. I still log into the new ToonTown server (the original one was shut down a few years ago) every now and then for nostalgic reasons. Oh and I loved the old Barbie website games and Everythinggirl!
 
I used to play Neopets a LOT as a kid, I even remember my second account's username as well.

This brought back memories; I distinctly remember that when I was in grade five, every time the teacher turned her back in the computer lab, BOOM, every kid in the class was on Poptropica lol
 
Off the top of my head, half life, civilisation, age of empires, Starcraft, wormz, rollercoaster tycoon, sims, world of warcraft..
Probably a bunch of others and also some educational games. For websites probably just neopets and habbohotel, maybe some doll makers if those are considered games.
 
Computer games were an enormous part of my childhood, so I could list a very large amount of them just off the top of my head.

1) Toontown - This is the biggest game that has ever taken over my life. From approximately 2007 - 2011, I played that game night and day. I took a (forced) break until 2013, as my dad deleted my account and blocked the website so I could not reach it. I still play pretty frequently on Toontown Rewritten. I don't think I will fully be able to quit this game until I can no longer play it.

2) Club Penguin - I played Club Penguin pretty frequently from 2010 - 2012. I had a year-long membership in 2011, and I played this game frequently through a shared account with my brother. I look back fondly on playing the spy missions, card jitsu, and eventually, once they released, collecting badges on our account.

3) Wizard101! This is the second game that I had a major obsession with. I began playing in 2012, and I didn't really know what I was doing. All of the friends I made on my first account I had lost contact with completely, as I was too young to remember and didn't bother contacting them outside of game. However, this changed in 2013; I made a second account and befriended a very large amount of people. I look back extremely fondly on the memories I created with friends from 2013-2014 on this game. It was a very dramatic time with lots of petty fighting and online dating, but I still loved it. I still am very close with my friend Dani that I met in 2013. I still play this game on and off, but it's not fun as it was back in the day, especially when most people have quit (that I knew) by now.

4) Maplestory - I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet! I played this game pretty hardcore back in my freshman year of high school. I bonded with my friend Mirie through this game, and I am going to download Maplestory 2 soon so that we can play that together!

5) Roblox - This was a huge childhood game for me. Beginning in 2012, I played this game very frequently until 2013 or 2014. I used to have Outrageous Builders Club and I made various friends that I do not have contact with anymore. I still play this every now and then, but it isn't as fun as it used to be.

Those are the major ones, but here are a long list of more minor ones that I used to spend quite a lot of time on: Poptropica, FaceBook games (Farmville, Pet Society, Wild Ones, etc.), girlsgogames, Big Fat Awesome House Party, Fusionfall, Postopia, Millsberry, Moshi Monsters, PetPetPark, Bearville, StarDoll, and I'm sure there are others that I just can't think of off the top of my head. :p
