Explaining the Star Stable Iceberg

Enjoy this deep dive into the entire history of Star Stable Online!
This is my first time ever doing something like this, but I tried my best! Mic quality isn't great considering I literally don't have one, but hopefully this is an enjoyable/educational watch.

Thanks for all the love, everyone!! There’s a lot of comments I haven’t replied to, so here’s a quick FAQ: Yep, I made an error saying the JoJo dogs were the first running pet, that was actually the squirrels! The “this thing” at the end is an Usiku, it’s from the original Halloween quests from before Galloper’s Keep was added. I didn’t know how to integrate it into the list so I just put it at the end as a joke :P The fence you can’t jump over on Paddock Island is actually because of the quest that the girl next to the fence gives. I had a suspicion this might’ve been the reason, but since I didn’t have the quest at the time I couldn’t test that theory. “You forgot XYZ” I’m sure I did, this list was just my personal iceberg, I can’t add every single detail. Buuuut maybe someday I’ll make a sequel with all the suggestions from the comments? ;) Lastly, lot of people said they want more content which I am SO grateful for! I have a lot of interests, so while I definitely will make more SSO content, that’s not gonna be the ONLY thing I make :) Edit: of COURSE the salon song was found and then uploaded to SSOs Spotify right after I make this video…. TO BE CLEAR IT WAS STILL A MYSTERY WHEN I MADE THIS.

50:50 the justin moorland player thing is most definitely real! Kitti spiderweb mentions it in her video "forgotten star stable things" (at least i think it's that video?). She shows footage of it and explains that the player justin moorland was actually an sso employee running a social experiment to see how the community would react to interactable things like this!

12:58 The player actually used to have a health bar as well and the only way i found you could damage it (or at least, as a non-star rider with too much time on my hands) was by standing on foot in the way of the car that rode through the area between Jarl's tomb, and Steve's. The player health to my knowledge did not regenerate so if you stood there for long enough, eventually it would run out. The screen still only sent you to home stable though.

[@Shadow_Draws_20]

But it would have been hilarious if it just took you to Doyle’s Abbey (when it used to be a graveyard lol) and said ‘Aideen has resurrected you!’ or something lmao

[@EvanBear]

The treehouse is related to the Romeo and Juliet questline between the Sunfields and the Goldspurs. I think the two teens snuck away there.

[@Nosek_]

Yeah, it was! the two characters were also named Tristan and Isolde, wich is a very cool easter egg, considering that "Tristan und Isolde" is a real life romance novel! (I remember reading it for school and raging about how every character was stupid lmao)

[@Antonia_von_Goldeich]

@@Nosek_ Tristan and Isolde are also the lovers in one of Wagner’s tragic operas, weird choice for names

[@gaho9734]

A few things I just wanted to add - The music that is heard when you are near a fridge door, that is the Starshine Legacy's Dark Core theme. - I think the road extra speed has been removed, and instead of that "faster gallop" has been added as a gait - I always thought the purple car was Jarlaheims major(?) - as there was a quest taking a trailer to the Riding Hall..so I always thought the race was a nod to that

[@Finixia.]

The deepest tier lacks a server where, when someone moved, the account was reset to start and all the star coins that had been earned/bought/spent were collected back and you had a lvl 1 account with tens of thousands of star coins. This happened at the beginning of the server's existence and then I don't know what happened to it

[@Jade_deVere]

I was actually offered this I believe in 2015. When I moved from the US to New Zealand and asked to shift over server regions (different to just changing servers), they said it wasn't possible to retain all of my progress and horses if i chose to move to the NZ server region. I chose not to of course, and with the time difference played during the night (in game) for many years. When the ability to change the time of day arrived in game I cried!

[@palomaduarte1345]

I can actually explain the white fence thing on paddock island. It's something I figured out myself overtime! I don't know if this is still a thing in game, I haven't really noticed it lately, but there was a time back in the day where if you rode near any NPC with a quest or just anything you could interact with, the game wouldn't let you jump. Since there is an NPC girl standing by the fence, that is what would prevent you from jumping it. Here's the interesting part though: The NPC girl only has a daily quest available on Fridays, so if you do the race on any other day of the week, you can jump the fence no problem! I used to train a lot back then, so eventually I learned to avoid the jump on Fridays 😆

[@EvanBear]

I'm so happy others call them "fridge doors" as well! I'm not on an english speaking server so the community doesn't call them that here but I'd always call them fridge doors.

[@prrfs792]

47:51, in Swedish the letter ”I” is pronounced similar to the letter ”E” in English which might be why its spelled ”Wiiii”. It makes sense in Swedish and is pronounced the same as ”Weeee”.

[@hayden7151]

i don’t remember the expensive fresians, but i do remember there was a fjord who was around 1200 star coins and came with special tack.

[@sunnybumblebear8873]

23:34 I remember a few years ago someone had "Discovered" bread island, it was one of the islands in the sunset isles thing by New Hillcrest stables. It was one of the islands you couldn't naturally get to without either bugging out your horses jump or plain glitching too it. I don't remember who discovered it or exactly when but I remember 2018 me attempting to reach it multiple times. Might not remember it correctly though ^^; Also the amount of memories this brought up is amazing! I almost forgot entirely about the salon music! I started the game in 2015 so I adored this trip down memory lane

[@DogDogGodFog]

I think this was a myth. People have glitched onto that island before, and that did _not_ get Bread Island unlocked in the discovered areas list.

[@Shadow_Draws_20]

This was INCREDIBLE. I was praying that someone would make an SSO iceberg video!! :D It was so well formatted, so well written, and absolutely deserves more attention :)

[@user-uy9fx5mv2x]

It was a great game back in 2011-2017! My whole childhood basically 😂 now it’s just about money (the old team quit working for SSO and it went downhill from there)

[@ashra.png.]

For dolly the sheep, I am 99% sure that the Dolly you see in Jarlaheim is actually a clone of another sheep- Dolly. Well, the second (or the first) dolly is found under the cliff where Mika lands with her balloon... There was also a quest about that one specific sheep and many people theorised it was because of the cloning experiment... Well, I guess SSO went with it and actually cloned Dolly and moved her to Jarlaheim !

[@ashra.png.]

I am not sure if the quest is still in-game, but It was given by a girl in that area with pigtails, where she was looking for her sheep or something. It's one of the oldest quests in the game, as I remember playing it years and years ago with gen1 horses

[@ashra.png.]

Just checked, yep, I was right... the sheep is still there, and it's the only sheep in that area! Well, it doesn't have any name above it's head but I'm sure it's named Dolly- there were theories about it aftterall back in 2014 or so, regarding the name and if it was a namesake after the original cloned sheep!

54:05 i always thought the sound when logging in, was the magical horses that transformed into their magical coat because it was the same sound and i didnt have that sound before i had a magical horse.

[@texyyy]

also, before, that sound used to depend on the person! for example, my friend had the sound of doing the dailys while making the greendale bridge, meanwhile i had the one talked about it the video 😄 this was 7/8 years ago, i still hear the same sound while logging in, but idk about the other one

[@MusicComet]

I always thought it was the sound of my horse needing care lol. Idk why that specifically.

[@heiniks]

There is another hidden "emote" along with /gestures, called /brb. It has no animation, but it will show in chat to nearby players and say "[Player] will be right back!". Also the popular "dressage" originated on the European servers and was called that because Phil the filter didn't recognize the word "Quadrille" and it wasn't permitted in chat back then. So players would advertise it as just dressage for ease of conversation. There were other nitpicky stuff I could point out too, but those I felt were the most important. Lovely video, bringed me good nostalgia and memories, keep it up!

[@ocean_rain4521]

Wow this kind of just blew my mind, I had no idea about sso “dressage” actually being quadrille. I had to look up that term and I was amazed because that’s exactly what it is! All this time I just assumed the sso community was just doing the closest thing to dressage they could while throwing in some random moves and making it a group thing. Thanks for elaborating on that!

[@DogDogGodFog]

The first one, I actually did not know that.

[@AthenaIcesong]

Rainbow festival/cloud kingdom… “consistently returns each year” spoke too soon 😭😭

[@rinishan]

I miss the life-like restrictions, to have to wait for the bus or the trailers being restricted to regions. Now the ferry has no use and no one goes to the mall anymore :( it's weird how they make very grindy features but remove all organic challenge or need to explore.

[@AmyMist]

Re: 2:00, When I saw Pandoria, I didn't think "Pandora" as in Avatar, I thought "Pandora" as in the Greek mythological figure with the box. ...And I'd guess that Avatar was referencing the same thing. It seems like a pretty sensible thing to reference in both cases, evoking the idea of something that is possibly dangerous, but still compelling to explore, y'know?

[@rachael3861]

I always thought the heart in the Cape West sand was from the two pirate/smugglers in the cave nearby. The Paddock Island fence is also only jumpable if the kid doesn't have a daily quest. If he does for the day, you can't jump over him for some reason.

[@rachael3861]

The yellow sticky note looks like it says Call Linda too! But pretty good overall :)

[@Linkydee4]

Ahh yeah I thought that maybe the quest was the reason for the unjumpable fence but I also thought it could’ve been the model update for the fence itself, I wasn’t sure lol :P thank you for your insight!

[@loviley]

the seals (and pigs) are actually coming back super soon, for a limited time with the discounted horse bazaar! also bruce (that’s what i named the shark) is still around! i also remember the rumor that the dinosaur is actually a dragon, i don’t know if it’s true (i doubt it is).

[@ninesroom]

omg really??? i was just thinking about how much i wish i could get a seal 😭

[@jiiynx-yz2yg]

53:17 this is one of my favourite facts. the swiss flag is due to the geneva convention! It prohibits any display of the red cross that isn’t truly a mecial center (or similar) in real life. So in many games, anything to do with medicine which would generally be marked with the red cross, has its colours either changed OR inverted, which then ends up looking like the swiss flag. in this instance i assume the dog is supposed to resemble an avalanche-dog of sorts, hence the cross.

[@JusiR]

such an interesting and well-made first video! I especially loved all the nostalgic fun facts and seeing how far the game has come 12:30 i'm pretty sure there's still horse health, it's just invisible now, since I get send back to my home stable once every blue moon. Most noticable in poorly programmed areas like the winter village, where you can easily glitch through the floor. 26:45 Are you sure the dogs were the first running pet? I thought it was a squirrel, maybe the one with the blue christmas sweater? But I'm not sure anymore. Fun fact about Jojo Siwa, her model and all the objects she came with are still in the game files for some reason 27:30 You're right, If I remember correctly SSO gave us a bunch of options we could combine to make a magical horse design and if you uploaded a picture of it onto instagram you had a chance to have "your design" chosen. So technically there was a limited amount of possible combinations and I'm sure they were all suggested multiple times by the end. Unfortunately I don't remember how we created the designs, since I'm pretty sure you did not have to draw or edit anything yourself. 32:00 Now you can get into locked goldenhills through halloween activities, unlock the ferry, and go there without problems or cheat warnings. Love how they made it easier to break in :D 33:20 some of the pigs being readded for a short time is true, I think it was during a bazaar

[@Linkydee4]

THE SQUIRRELS ahh I completely forgot about those, you’re right they were the first running pet. Oops lol! Thank you so much for your extra insight, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

[@MusicComet]

I'm sure the first pigs were actually retired during the 10th bday or something like that, but they had to retire the rest because some of the piggies snuck out of the shop lol. They have appeared again at the bazaar, as you said, but they appeared before and that was their intended retirement day. They retired the seals as well and that was at the bazaar too if I'm not mistaken.

[@TheRainIsFalling19]

I hope SSO makes more quests about us finding out how we are technically Aideen reincarnated

I used to play sso a looot. Someone in my class played this game, and ever since I saw it, I fell in love with the game. I started playing in 2017/2018. I made soo many memories playing it and made a lot of good friends back in that time. This game helped me so much during that time,it was all I couldn't have irl. Just played it again after not playing for about a year or so. This reminded me of many features which now are just missing. When I logged back in,last week, I just started crying when hearing that some songs and noises were still in game. It felt very nostalgic. TYSM for explaining the SSO Iceberg, it refreshed my mind! If you finish reading this, here's a short message: Stay healthy and safe! Fun fact: I found other people who played sso irl(other then that friend who introduced me to sso).it was very nice talking about the game with people I know in real life.

What an awesome video going back the memory lane- loved how much you were able to cover!!! Firstly though- I want to add that they have removed the grind with closing pandorian rifts, super big bummer! I want to confirm that yes, the first 3 magic ponies were designed by the player base! It was run on Instagram where we had to like pictures with features we liked. Can also confirm that the pigs did have a small comeback in 2023- had forgotten about it but found out now since they are being discontinued, because I somehow had one on my 2nd account when I went to check. xD The chat heart being with alt + 9 sounds I've never heard of before! For me it has always been shift + 3/4, can't exactly remember the number. But yes, this seems to have been disabled, unsure when though! AH the amazing Star Stable Randomness, all those videoes were the golden era of SSO... XD THEY CHANGED THE CHAMPIONSHIP SYSTEM?! I thought it was still a thing to remove your tack, I've just grown too lazy to do it, welp- good to know that is no longer a thing. XD Star Stable Run, I remember hearing about it and being so excited, it would have been so great. :') Is it weird I miss the zone trailers??? I didn't know we actually managed to save fred ahhh, that is so cool! :') Didn't know they had TV commercials either, I heard of it through school and website ads >-< I am honestly amazed at both how much I remember but also the few things I forgot or didn’t even notice! Magic horses had less speed?! I also had no clue that the GED office actually had files!

I stopped playing this game ages ago and this video was a super fun reminder of it! I remember when back in 2017 I asked my brother to buy me SC cuz I wanted the seal, can't believe it was the last time they showed up

[@Soloee_]

I haven't played sso in ages, but I wanted to watch this for nostalgia. I started playing in dec 2014, so I remember the old things here :) There are a few things I maybe would have added (I haven't seen any other sso icebergs, so maybe you left them out on purpose) Maya used to be named May, I have no idea why they changed her name. You could only own one hairstyle/makeup look at a time. If you had hair A, bought hair B and after a while wanted to go back to hair A, you would have to pay for hair A again. There was a glitch that made you go SUPER fast. It was so fun! I did use it in a race once ehe. Fort pinta used to be run by a literal kid, he looks a bit older now right? Also the shark there could bite you if you fell in the water on it and you would be sent home. Ferdinand's horse marked used to travel around. (I can't remember if you mentioned this or not, sorry if you did) Steve's place and the village looks so different now, I can't remember if the clock in the village actually worked or not. Since I haven't played in a long time I don't know what's still in the game, so maybe there are some other things as well. But this was really good! (Also I feel like I remember the crying from the castle as well)

[@vay_exe]

There was actually a horse that did cost more than 1000 sc other than the friesians! :) The white gen 1 fjord horse. I believe it's price was like 1425, while other fjords only costed 780 sc. ^^

[@emmakollberg07]

Fun fact! The salon music is actually available on Spotify!! The song is called ”If Ever” and is released by Star Stable themselves and is sung by Lana TB. The Leaker. The song was released in 2004 though which is interesting since SSO wasn’t released until 2012.

41:28 the crying in the castle is actually real! It's one of my favourite creepy pasta facts about this game and I used to do it almost every night (when I was able to stay up past midnight). You could only hear it if you waited until midnight in front of the castle door, logged off the game and logged back in, or at least that's how I used to do it.

I have been playing since 2013 Winter, and your video brought back so much memory, and I also learned some new information, like the first location of Fred! Shout-out for Birdie, there was a time I visited her just because I wasn't sure if she was there all the time. :D

1. I just realized. 'Techno' is a genre of music just like 'Disco' is. They chose to name 'Techno' after a genre of music too, to have him fit in with 'Disco'. 2. Yeah, the login bling sound was definitely real. I experienced it countless times. It's probably gotten caught on several of my SSO videos, I don't remember which ones though. 3. Someone on Eleanor Nightwalker's Discord server said that the music that plays in SSO's salons comes from Lisa's/Kyomi's/Brittany's rooms in Star Academy. I've seen footage of Lisa's and Kyomi's rooms though, and the music doesn't match. But, to counter my counter, I can't find footage of a Britanny playthrough anywhere on KZbin. So, maybe it is from Britanny's room.

This was so entertaining to watch!! I saw that you might be doing a pt.2, and if you're ever running out of ideas, reddit always has the best hidden lore or facts about sos that could help you. never been a person who uses reddit but the SSO community is strong there and won't hesitate to pitch in.

i used to play this when i was about 13.... and only played for a week at times because i didn't have money to be premium so i created 505949348 different accounts to enjoy the free stuff 😭 so ya girlie had no idea there was so much lore about it. great video BTW!!! 💞

[@dragu_la]

even though a lot of the old features were annoying (cold tolerance, slower magic horses, only being able to care in certain areas etc)... and i remember being so aggravated by them... i still kinda miss them! love new sso but this video did make me reminisce about my older days in sso. also!!! i don;t see people talking about this so i will!!! the hidden star you get from a race in New Hillcrest.. actually homed a horse xp glitch. I think it was back in 2018, but if you did the race repeatedly you would get 250xp from it each time for like a week. It was patched but it got about 3 of my horses maxed from me abusing it LOL. edit:.... the sso disney channel advert saying "SOME features may require a subscription" you mean 95% of the game? LOOOOL.

2:38 why do I love this picture so much?!?! 38:43 and I used to do that too. When I realized it was Starshine, I FLIPPED! (Or as Alex would say-Fripped-sorry I had to) I was so excited!

[@hannahduskgirl]

absolutely amazing, my sister sent this to me and it did not disappoint. Well done on this!

[@hannahduskgirl]

just a quick add i think you missed, there was this band called JA who had songs at the disco around 2014-1015 and we got a shirt! and id say also the potatowatchers

[@autumnduskclaw]

bro this is so good i watched the whole thing and it was so interesting

[@monda7806]

i would love to listen to you talk about the game lore for hours hahah

[@Nyans]

Well made video! I def remember lots of these

[@Meat_Duck_Dude]

I wish we could change the game versions. I never got to experience all the nostalgia from sso. I miss all of it because I grew up on Cookieswirlc and HoneyHeartc

[@cryptid_deity]

This was really fun to listen to!

[@Avi-and-Art]

Actually, they fixed the summer thing, in the fly scene, the first thing you see when you join as a new player, you are told something on the lines of “ you are staying for the summer, and then you will apply for (some name I forgot ) meaning you get to stay on the island year round”

[@guppysoupy]

its so fun to listen to this as someone whos been playing since 2012. some of this stuff ive either forgotten or somehow never heard of lol

[@Treppy_Gecky]

Omg I'm so excited to watch I'm a new player :) can't wait to learn!

[@Dressagio]

Loved this! I joined in 2012 and watching this was a WILD RIDE💜💜

[@EventingMustangs_official]

5:02 HES A COSMIC BEING! I’m joking, I just had to say it. 😂❤❤

[@shingibanggibboongbbongbanggi]

i’ve been waiting for an sso iceberg for literal years omg 😭😭😭

[@loafy1362]

As someone who's played SSO for about 5 years now (i think?) this video made me so nastolgic since im getting into the game again. thank you for making this in-depth video !! it was very enjoyable to listen too and watch while doing races lol

[@viv3171]

For the original café music; when I lived in Greece I once got an ad for chocolates on youtube. I was shocked because the ad was using SSOs café music! haha

[@athenaNS]

😂

[@HortayaBorzaya]

Oh my god! Iv'e been waiting for somebody to make a sso iceberg for ages! Ive honestly been planning to make one myself aha! :)

[@alextheasparagus6675]

Another one is that there is a photo of mr Sands in Pine Hill mansion in ssl 2, composed exactly like a famous photo of Lenin. Kinda funny. Also, I think it was established in the ssl games that mr Sands and the dark riders (they weren’t called that at the time) were aliens and made to blend in with the humans, and that’s why he’s so old.
