I'm so old when webkinz first started they didn't have a free pet option.

Webkinz didn’t have all these pay to play and premium shit back in the day, and I don’t entirely blame them for implementing them. I’m sure it keeps them from going under. But, as one of those kids who had over 30 ‘Kinz as a kid, I’m both proud and ashamed to say that I did start paying for the premium when I logged back on as an adult. 😅

[@definitelynotashark1799]

Sounds my like experience with neopets. I went on a neopets binge about once a yesr after becoming an adult™️, and especially the two weeks after operating out all 4 wisdoom teeth were filled with neopets. Good times.

[@mimikyu4640]

Back in my day the Deluxe option wasn't really that bad! In my opinion it was mostly out of site for normal players and legit felt like a really cool exclusive club you can join at any time for a pretty penny. But now it feels like a solid 1/3 of Webkinz is exclusively for deluxe and feels like the site goes out of its way to point it out to you :c BTW I got 45 webkinz and growing lol, I friggin loved the plushies as a kid and died when I learned the online site

[@solierafromtheultrareconsquad]

Just a pro tip from a player, your pet sleeping doesn't stop you from playing the game at all, you can still do everything you could before as if they were awake; whether they are or not doesn't make a difference, it just halts their occasional requests and it bugs out the energy meter and stops it from going down. And considering the energy and hunger meters deplete like crazy if you do ANYTHING, it's best to _keep_ your pet in bed, as well. Either that or they look depressed the entire time. The older stat system was much more manageable since they only depleted periodically.

[@thunderlina3237]

The forced downtime is definitely new. I played this game for hours on end as I kid and I never remember having to stop playing because my pets were sleeping. Either that, or I just had enough pets that it was never a problem.

[@barumph]

Dr Quack always told me my pets needed more sleep, so I think I just neglected them

[@BlackLabsLikeRuleDog]

Back in the early years, the "sleep" meter was rather a "Health" meter. You filled it with vitamins, exercise items in the room, and taking it to Dr. Quack. They re-vamped the game for the 10th anniversary ("Webkinz X" update), replacing the need for Heath and Dr. Quack with sleeping and "Family Score Points" where your pet asks you to do certain site activities for points.

[@thunderlina3237]

@@BlackLabsLikeRuleDog Yeah! The health meter! I remember freaking out when my pets had low health because I thought they were gonna die lol. That explains that, then.

i remember before the whole "starter pet" thing where you had to get a webkinz stuffed animal before u could play at all, and before the estore and deluxe account exclusive things literally made it impossible to play unless you've bought both a webkinz and had a deluxe subscription and bought in-game money. i've seen the horrors of capitalism with my own eyes. also the corona topaz was the only gem in the gem mining game that i never found (if you got them all youd get a crown, it was random chance, my brother had one), and i played that game literally every day from 4-8 years old so i'd like to consider that a prophecy about my disease resilience

Kitteh agreed. Wish they had remasters in the future.

[@coasterobsessed3430]

I forgot about monkey quest!

“You were either into Webkins, Gaia Online, or Club Penguin.” ¿What about Runscape?

[@otaking3582]

My sister had the toys, but she was too young to use a computer, and my thought at the time was just "So it's like Neopets, except boring?"

[@BonBon42]

😂 That Tiger King Ad Though❣️ 😂

[@ricochet0928]

I remember going to goodwill as a kid and looking through the bags of stuffed animals in the toy section trying to find any webkinz that still had the tags attached. If I found one, I'd make sure nobody was around then rip the bag open just enough to be able to get it out XD

[@winteriris13]

man, I remember webkinz so fondly. i was like maybe 7 or 8 when I got a calico cat, so very originally named Kitty. Kitty was my favorite, I was lucky enough to have the code still on her since I had found it in a garage sale one summer. I remember begging my mom for more so eventually I had a black cat named Clover and the "googles" named Ducky. I lost Kitty one summer at a camp sight never to be seen again but I still remember my stuffed animal so dearly, I later got the tiny version but it was never the same again..

9:06 Yes, children obviously need to know about the 21 Spring Breakers who went too far

[@Redzilla26]

People ask me why do I still sleep with a stuffed animal and I tell the my english teacher shouldn't have taught me about personification.

[@PeterGriffin11]

I wanna see you talk about Coolmath the website where tons of my classmates would go & play games on in the Computer Lab when we were supposed to be working.

[@hailey_the_ace_of_hearts4127]

I had like 50 of the stuffed animals, all of them filling my online house to the brim 😅 I loved the game it brings so much nostalgia now

[@Diablo98415]

I'm honestly surprised how fast you push these videos out yet keeping the quality great, I love it.

[@Bakupham]

Hey there Billiam, that was a really cool video! I remember Webkinz when I was younger, Keep up the good work!

[@kaeminta5233]

I was literally one of those kids who forgot my password every time I wanted to play

[@PlasticKnight]

When I was a kid I got pissed when they introduced paid memberships cus it restricted stuff that was previously open, so I begged my mom for two years til I got a membership

[@alessandra5842]

I can't stop laughing at the Joe Exotic picture on the side of the site

[@MysterySteve]

As someone who spent WAAAAAAAY too much time as a kid playing flash games, sandwich stacker is probably one of the best

[@agr0nianTV]

I don't remember the status bars at all :P Maybe they just never got in my way since my brother and sister also had Webkinz and we only had one computer. That best game list was pretty accurate my favorites were the monkey game, Ant Mania, the battleship-like game, and pool I actually saved up my hard earned kinz cash to buy the battleship game and pool table 😄 This is the first time I've heard of the Webkinz killer and I played Webkinz for a few years starting 2007 (I want to say). I stopped played cause my Webkinz subscription ran out and I discovered Roblox which is free. I had an Orange Cat, Raccoon, and Kangaroo ☺ Great video man! 😄

[@peliukun8164]

they were always there but they never restricted gameplay. the wheel and the school do but not ur meters. u could literally keep it playing for hours if ya wanted

[@martinlutherclark]

5:57 why is there the tiger king on the right side of the screen?

[@coasterobsessed3430]

GamingCola Productions It’s an ad

[@Tj-Someone]

Dude... I'm so glad I came across your channel! Gonna binge these videos all day

[@dr.wyverstone8418]

I still have a bunch of my old webkinz from when they first came out. I didn't mind the weird fabric they used as it made them very different from other plushies I had at the time. Couldn't tell you how many I ended up with in the end, I had a lot.

[@beaniebean4885]

When I was in class I just downloaded emulators and played Kirby :D

[@MirandaMilner]

I’ve actually been playing Webkinz and Club Penguin again for the past month. The sound effects never change... I love it.

[@peliukun8164]

well in the case of the latter its mostly just rewritten stuff so they probably remade em. but yeah no real different

[@mattrose99]

Webkinz was my jam and Ill say it: membership was the start of it being ruined. It used to be full access with just the purchase of a plush, and then they slowly took away all the best stuff or put it behind a membership pay wall. Then they changed the map. I played it once in 2018 and havent even thought to open it again since

[@peliukun8164]

exactly cuz they stopped makin features for it after that time n their excuse has been to make a shitty bootleg game in that period of time with the most ass-backwards excuses u could ever imagine. saved yourself the time honestly

[@samanthadonahue1373]

I’m so old that webkinz didn’t have a deluxe membership when I played. You bought the plush and you had free reign of the entire site. Also cash cow was my game along with go fish

[@packnetadaija]

I remember being obsessed with my Webkinz when I was a kid like I used to go on the family computer in the living room for hours just having all sorts of adventures with my webkinz...morbidly enough I wonder how they are doing now...

[@afterlight7632]

My sister and I had over 100 webkinz together. Were in and out of the hospitals frequently for ourselves, our mom, or our grandparents and whenever we went to the hospital, we went to the gift shop to get a new webkinz. I think my grandma still has a bunch of them in a tote somewhere.

[@MaiSakurajoestar]

Congrats on hitting 300k subs!

[@mercedespowers3264]

Oh my gosh! You put the turtle webkinz in tbe thumbnail. I used to have it since 2012 but I lost it during a room redisign during 2017 or 2018. It's nice to see it again

[@danimitetwitch]

Joe Exotic ad at 5:55 caught me off guard lol

[@streetwavez6849]

Love the joe exotic mugshot ad at 5:54

[@mr.pastaman]

Finally! The one I've been waiting for! 😍

[@marshroanoke]

Oh my god the fact that there's a MUGSHOT OF JOE EXOTIC on webkinz has me deceased!
