i can’t stop crying, seeing how much this game has changed is so hard for me because it reminds me that ill only keep growing. i was 5 when i started playing this game, and 9 years is a long time. i wish i could go back to these days when i had nothing to worry about, no school, no homework, no tests, *no growing up.* i want to remain a kid forever, i want to relive the day when i first created my character, the day when i first learned how to jump, the day when i bought lifetime star rider, the day when i bought a new horse for the first time, the day when i unlocked the harvest counties, or even the day when i first glitched into a closed area. i miss it so much. it’s crazy what a game can to do you, and i don’t think ill ever forget the amazing memories ive made on star stable online.
I feel the exact same. This video makes me feel so nostalgic and when I decided to start playing starstable again after 5 years I was shocked how much this game changed and I realized that I will never experience the same feeling again. It’s so sad
Ik…I cried too hard
Lmao i feel u, i was one of star stables first players and this gave nostalgia
On various holidays, e.g. Easter, Halloween or Christmas Star stable gave all users a free Star Rider for 7 days. I remember ticking off the days before Easter so that I could have an atar rider and play with my friends from morning to evening. Sweet times.
My friend often lent me an account so I could play as a star rider. We've never seen each other in our lives, only in star stable. Starstable made real friendships.
I think it’s a small niche community of nostalgic old players, but I feel emotional and want to say I love you all and miss everything very much
I love this comment. It's nice to meet some original players
I still wear my 2nd sso birthday sweater in hopes I'll find someone else wearing old anniversary clothes too
@@HeyHebi that’s so cute! will wear mine too
I wish they would make starstable 2 with all the new updates and the original statstable would stay with us forever
@@HeyHebi Same! I sadly lost my 3rd and 4th year sso birthday tack and clothes because I changed to another countries server, but I still have my old easter and valentine's day tack and clothes, and always use them when I can. I also have the 2014 "On Fire!" shirt, and I never take it off.
the game felt so much bigger and exciting back then
Yes 😭😭😭❤️ these videos make me wanna cry
we still got ot old horses whit the old lool :3
I started playing this game when I was 10 :/ I am turning 20 this year. I get sad thinking about it too hard. The memories. The minimal worries. The hope. Time just doesn’t stop for anything, huh.
same here, i’m sad they’re ruining the game but at the same time i’m glad it stayed with me for a decade
same, I didnt realise it back then but I had so much fun playing this game and now i'm an adult its so weird
I'm turning 21...can't even find words to express the pain i feel. Played it with a friend 2015 for the first time. Not been there from the very beginning but the memories i made were still beautiful.
I'm 19 now and I'm still playing SSO. I started in 2013 and that feels so weird to me. Like, how the hell this game is already 11 years old, just unbelivable :P SSO changed so much, especially after 2018 - some changes are good, some of them not. But it's still so fascinating to see them, see this changes. Because it means that this game is still "alive", there are still people, who play it. This year I showed this game to my 11 years old niece, so I really hope that she will like it, because SSO meant so much for me. When my life was hard(because of school) I always could escape - to books, drawing, my animals, horse riding in real life and Star Stable of course. When I was sick and I couldn't ride on horses, I always could do it at least in this game ;) I'm young adult now, but I will be still playing SSO ;)
bruhh you got me crying
New SSO team is destroying the game. That’s what’s happening. They don’t even know what Star Stable and Starshine Legacy is. It’s all about money now and mainstream. Mechanics, quests, characters and lots of content are being deleted, and more and more horses are added.
Good video! This is what OG Star Stable is.
Finally, someone who said it.
This is why I recently stopped playing.
Indeed, the originality of the game is completely fading. I could write a whole rant but you've already said what can be said. 🙌 Glad you enjoyed my video.
Nostalgia is all we have left of SSO.
Exactly! I agree!
It makes my heart hurt so much, it doesn’t feel anything like the game I knew, I just feel disconnected and lost now
@@zensstudio3682 So true
I wish they would focus on the actual game and less on new horses despite how much I love them. It makes me even sadder since the recent story quest about the “trail of Anne” was one of the most fun in a long time, I loved the music. But they keep taking away things we loved, from the snow, to simplifying certain characters, to moving event stuff like the pumpkin maze, or making events and items more and more expensive. I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a 1k sc horse eventually. It just makes me so sad.
Oh my that old lovely cat at the loading screen.. And every time we got an to be continued it also showed up... and those old graphics.. ah how i miss the prime of sso.. I started playing around the holidays of 2014 and i can tell you much has changed since then.. most of it not in a good way.. these unnesecery changes started happening in 2018 when we got the last set of good and long quest lines. They teased somehting about Lisa's secret mission and never said anything about it. The same way they never mentioned the Kallters or the singing yew ever again. Or the ice witch, GED, Ashland, the fourth darkrider, Old Hilcrest, Fort Maria, Devils Gap.. man all those memories. I miss my childhood..
Same, i started playing in 2011 and i really felt this
There is a secret mission with lisa though
@@stephaniefriendnest1193 Yeah, but that one happens i think after we saved Lisa and the one i ment was supposed to be happening in between the starbreeds quest and saving Concorde. And was probaly going to be mentioned after saving Concorde, but they simply ignored it just as they ignored the aftermath of saving Herman what was supposed to be heading in to Herman's meeting with the druids i think and Dark Core and G E D working together. And of course the Kallters story. When are we going to find out more about their secret home and that roar? I think the old sso management planned all of these quests for 2019, but the new one totally ditched it with more child friendly questlines.
@@jusssie010 Omg, I remember how sad I was when they just took the Kalter out of the game. What I also don't like is, when they make new quests and pretend we never met this person before. I don't play this active anymore but a few month ago I played some new quests and James didn't know me anymore? Like ok?
@@emmishelby0802 Yess!! I miss the James from before!! Everyone in Jorvik always used to see through James games and fraud. james also was a lot nicer. And now everyone in Jorvik treats him like a god because of a horse who can "talk"!! Like, how low is a jorvegian's brain supposed to be to believe that a normal horse can actually talk?? And the fact that everyone just pays millions of jorvik shilligons to James because appearantly he get's to decide the law and if you make a small mistake you pay thousand jorvik shilligons?? Like wtf?
To think that back then the staff cared about players and even gave out free star coins and even gave some players lifetime star rider for free! They listened to players and gave them what they wanted. Now all they care about is their benefactors (people who gain money from a company or organisation which these companies such as sso depend on to stay up) and money which is why we are getting so much horses and little actual bits of content like quests and stuff… To them, horses means money and money means keeping the benefactors happy.
facts. anybody that says otherwise is a kid that doesn’t understand, or hasnt been on the game long enough. Its a shame that people are blinded by their love for sso to see what type of shit they’ve became
@@CakeSSO I miss the old sso, for that reason. I don’t miss it because it was my childhood, I don’t miss it because of my old friends and the nostalgia. I miss it because the management was actually good, was kind and listened. It made the game better, and this is why I believe the sso community now complains about things they never used to. I never remember anyone complaining about it when new frog horses were released. We loved them. Now we all complain because they aren’t listening and continue to spit out new horses. Every. Month. And, its just not special anymore.
LITERALLYa i told them about my issues in the family and they literally gave me star rider for free
fr.... I'm exited for the paso fino coming out but I'd much rather new quest lines but they don't care... Also loved the old graphics imo they were way better than now
The loading screen cat ! Also the concert of Raptor in the mall, aww I miss those :,(
Me too :
Not gonna lie i absolutely miss the old StarStable. Watching this video brings back so many amazing memories I’ve made so far. Enjoying after school time with my closest friends online was an absolute highlight to me. And not forgetting about the friends I’ve made in this game from all over my country.
StarStable was a really magical game . Don’t get me wrong, it is still a good game, with amazing new horses. But the old StarStable has a more special place in my heart.
Amazing new horses? The horses are the only thing coming out right no there is no content! :( The story didn't finish in 10+ years! :(
OMG I had completely forgotten about fashion week 😭. Wow this made me miss old SSO so much. I miss the feeling it used to have, and all my online friends. Damn
I completely forgot about fashion week too. Now I got to log in and find those Francesca clothes somewhere in my inventory 🥺
I remembered when i unlocked the Shopping-Center and wondered what that door with the trees meant. Sad I never could've been apart of the fashion week... (I started playing 2018 sadly)
oh the memories, my dad recently passed away and we played this game all the time together 😭
I’m so sorry for your loss❤️
same, my dad also passed away and we always played togheter
@@annamildhult I’m so sorry for your loss, it’s hard to play the game when all you can remember are those good old days.
Sorry for your loss :( but the memories are always there
Sorry for your loss 💜💜 he’s probably just playing with you up in heaven
I remember the first day I discovered star stable. I grew up with this game and it hurts to realize how all my friends (including me) aren’t online anymore. They’ve all grown up just like me. I wonder how all my sso friends are today. I wonder if they still remember me like I do. Needless to say I think what hurts the most is the world keeps revolving change never stops. I wish I could stop time and go back to the simple days and appreciate what I never knew would slip from my grasp so fast, my childhood 🙁
you said it all..
7 Years ago this Game inspired me to work for the job of my dreams when i get older. Here i am, finished art school and studying 3D & Game Design :D
Proud of you :)
Ngl, but this was kinda making me almost tear up. I started playing the game at around 2012, I still do play from time to time. But, boi, the feeling of the game is just completely different from the past version of the game. There's also more people in these shots than probably what I might normally see in present times (the only places I usually see people at is mostly Steve's, Fort Pinta, and Moorland). I remember stampedes used to be a cool thing oldies like me liked to see and do, but they weirdly fell out of popularity and nobody does them anymore. Most clubs are dead nowadays, too. Unless you're counting the very specific ones that like to do dressage and are extremely dedicated. The only place that hasn't been touched too much is Dino Valley (they lowed the fog and now it's less mysterious). So, it still stands to be the most nostalgic area left in the game. SSO absolutely needs to make a museum, so we can go back and see what things used to look like or what it may've felt like. I like that the game is updating, but there are aspects of it they should've kept, like cold tolerance, ponies being slow, maybe actually add some type of thing to actually bond with horses as that is something they've advertised and never actually promised or added. The sea horses looked like they could swim in the promotional video, but actually can't. They also need to update their hardware as they've been using the same thing for over 10 years now. The game breaks with almost every new update. Some things I wish could stay kinda how it was in the past with certain things, but also wanting to move forward with new things.
Old times were the best… Thats why Im still riding 1st generation horses, one time I even tried to look for shaders that will remind me of this old nostalgic graphics, I literally cant believe those times will never come back, there was no toxic players, everything was so exciting, all those events, lore, adventures, saving anna, old designs, ahh… And much much more. Now sso only cares about money and they keep adding new horses, I’d do literally ANYTHING for them to add the option where you can change your graphic go the old one, ughh I literally love it so much and I remember when I created my first account in 2012, I honestly kinda hate sso because of this graphic change I know the game is getting ,,better” but just why… I actually cried ;((
same 100%
Even though they’re changing the designs, redoing the words, adding more horses etc I can’t help but think that they’re ruining it. The appeal of star stable was the slightly jumpy animations, the worlds that were rough around the edges, because it was about the fun and the quests and the love you had for the game and everything that happened within it. Now, I go back to it occasionally but I feel so sad. It’s like my childhood has been replaced. I go to places that I used to love and they look completely different.
Epona stable is like the only non updated place yet i believe. I havent been on, I don’t know, but I hope it remains this way.
@@GreyGhostBreyers And Dino Valley.
youre actually right, they replace every special thing about star stable, now its just empty plastic world where plot makes no sense, in todays update they said something about realism, lol, they have no clue what realism is, they erased every aspect of realism in this game, it hurts to get on this game and experience this horrible change, i cant believe that there are still people who dont see it and keep saying its progressing and getting better, nope, its not. star stable was once only game of this sort which made such success back in 2014, 2015, 2016, when it was its peek time
this game literally kept me distracted from abusive family issues. Now im 18 , living alone, in a relationship and doing my A-levels
im so proud of you
I started playing in 2012/2013, i was 12, needless to say I was already pretty above the average age of most. I loved SSO, have so many dear memories from it, it makes me sad. I played with my friend til i was 18, maybe even 19, last i enjoyed was the place where Dundull is. If i knew that would be the starting point for everything to get renovated. At one point, I quit the game. They ruined the events, i miss the old christmas, even halloween is in an alternative place and map remains untouched. Nowadays it's just about horses and horses and more horses, it became a horse training simulator. New sso lacks the feel of home, of those memories. I'm 22 now, still cherishing it as a dear memory.
Bro I miss the old star stable, it used to be soo fun with the easter hunts and the christmas activities with jorvik covered in snow and then the iceberg with the seals.... I just miss all that and more, wish there was story quest then just 5-10 minutes short quests... all I do now is train my horses, some rp.... and that's basically it, I hope star stable brings some things back (not all of it) but man, this video made me cry seeing the old star stable been on here since I was 9-10 kinda when star stable just started
Yep, where is Fashion week even? They have removed all fun
The old stars table was so much better in some ways, so many childhood memories unlocked while watching this video💕
"don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened"
dont't cry because it's over, smile because it happened ❤ RIP the good times of SSO
Been binge watching some old SSO videos after the SSO community took a hard hit the last few days. - If you're reading this and don't know, we have lost one of our pillars, R.I.P Violet Flowergarden - Fly high Pinky, you were an inspiration to thousands, including myself
Oh I wish I shot footage back then, but I was enjoying the game so much that I didn't really think about it. Great times, a lovely memory we old players can cherish 😄
That cat- I swear to god it was my savour
I think what most people miss isn't necessarily the old graphics, the fact that we couldn't take tack off at first, the old animations and all that. It's more the happiness we all felt when playing back then. The carefree life we had. No quarantine and things like that. Some people, me as well, grew up with this game and the nostalgia hits really hard.
This made me cry, the difference from 2012 to now is crazy
the game we have rn is a fully different one than we had… the managers and the staff have no idea what starshine legacy and the original games (star stable 1-4) were. this game was my childhood with the perfectly, sometimes overneoned bright colors in it. now it seems so… so grey. no volume, no fun, no vibes, and no laughs. this game is just straightforward got ruined. this could be the best horse game ever existed, but instead they made it a moneystealer company.
they could do so much, make so many kids dreams come true, but they honestly just dont care about the players. only if they can make money with it.
cant remember the last time i truly enjoyed playing or felt challenged by this game. its not the same anymore, just a grey dust of the bright joyful star stable we had. no easter, no valentines, i can imagine soon enough no halloween and christmas, just horses and money.
i miss how this game was, and one of the most painful things ive ever experienced is knowing that game is gone. my childhood is gone, and not coming back.
I wanna be a kid again…
I wish they could bring back the WHOLE game but make the pixels and horses better
:(
I wish someone could make a sso classic, if they even got the old updates backed up.
me too, or something like sso1 and sso2, for sure they still have the code as even the old things(for example fjords horse gen1) are stacked under the map and can be bought with exploits, the game is still tunning on the old ass engine and code mechanics in general werent changed, they just added plastic shitty textures on old spaghetti code, it could be possible, but they dont care about us and they ignore any voice of the old players, they focus on kids taking their parents credit card and buying no-different at all goofy horses, its not the same since sso was bought by the new devs
I remember back then you could play starstable through the website. I miss those times 😭
It's weird. I first played this game in 2014, I was 8, almost 9 years old and had a friend help me set the game up. My first horse was white with a blonde mane and tail. Played it until I couldn't progress anymore because I didn't have Star Rider. Left the game and forgot that account. Made at least 2 other accounts by 2016 just replaying what I could. One of my friends had Lifetime Star Rider and always knew the codes, so I kept asking her about Star Rider and there was a 1 week code for Star rider. Played it until it ran out and then left for years. Beginning of 2020 I got a book. It was about a girl and horses. It reminded me of SSO, so I decided to check the game out again and wow... How strange was seeing it again. There was a sale for Lifetime Star Rider so my parents allowed me to get it and then I finally had the proper adventure. Maybe these don't hit as hard because I was too young back then and didn't have Star Rider, but it's still quite crazy...
While I understand SSO is a business that needs to run and is hard to maintain especially with how big it's gotten and how they're trying to update the look, but I can't help but think back to when we last felt heard or even cared about.
The communication between SSO and their customers just became this huge ocean that it's hard to trust them when the majority of the time we only get Copy/Pasted Bots to reply or get banned for Reporting a user who created a cheat mod.
Legit I was trying to find the quests I needed for Epona and got told "we can't tell you the name of the quest you need because we don't want to reveal the story" as if I was asking for the story? I just need to know what quest in my log... they also gave really bad misinformation that would've put me in the wrong direction
I started playing Star Stable a long time ago, now I'm an adult and I feel very sad and miss the old times.... They took all the magic out of this game
it's not just a horse game, it's a childhood. It was a part of us growing up. People find horse riding lame, but this game wasn't just about horse riding... It was the biggest adventure, the best way to befriend people, and afterall the best way to grow up. Goodbye, my sso journey
2015-2020 😪🪦💔
I hope this is a reminder to all of us to always stop, look around us and take in the joy of our lives and savor it as much as you can, never take anything or any moment for granted. Life is so so short.
Omg this brought back so many memories 🥺 this was a wonderful video, thank you for making it 🥰
I will always cherish those memories ❤ by the way, glad to hear you liked this video 🤗
I remember how I could play this game for hours without even being a star rider and how the most exciting thing was them releasing new clothes for the mall. I recently went back to the mall for a bit of nostalgia and it was just completely empty. I remember it always being full and partying every Friday to the raptor concert.
As the game changes and areas and characters and horses update, the more old sso will be only treasured memories.
2013 was when I started, I miss those days a lot. I remember when Alice Winterbell was the 1st sso youtuber and had inspired me to play sso.
I remember when Alice was around she just one day vanished off the face of the earth :/
Yup she also did introduced me into sso world. Good ol’ times 😞
I hate to say it but I joined because of Honey hearts c. First sso video she made, joined a few months after that.
These were the most beautiful moments of my life. Now that Star Stable has changed that way, I don't even play anymore
I sat, paralyzed, watching this video for the entire five minutes, barely being able to blink. I wasn’t a star rider at this time, but I remember watching people play and longing to experience it myself. The game isn’t what it used to be and it never will be. Now it’s just about spending star coins, practically. I remember, as ugly as they were, how much I loved my starter horse and how much I loved getting on the game and greeting old Dragondust then going on a little trail ride. It was so much fun. I will forever miss the old sso.
fantastic video, in tears right now. god, i miss this more cartoony, old version of starstable so much. yes, i still love playing the game now and there's definitely been improvements over the years, but this old style i will always miss. greendale, moorland, the starry sky late at night... so sad to see them go. thank you for this video!
A player of SSO since 2011 here, and before then a player of Star Stable and Starshine Legacy. I watched the SSO-website develop from ”under construction” to an entire online game. I miss it. It has lost the charm it had back then.
I haven’t been playing sso actively for 2 years now ( logging on once in 3 months ) and seeing how much this game has changed makes me tear up. The old quests, mean Loretta, when the first new horse models arrived etc. i wish we could go back in time to go through all of this again because THIS is Star Stable THIS is what we spent our childhood on and not what we get now with constant horses.
Started playing as 12
Now I’m 22
My god the amount of hours Ive spend being angry, happy, crying, or just enjoying it is indescribable. Thank you to the og sso for the memories.
I might haven't been playing as long as other's (must be around 5 years) but I miss it so much. I got so excited to log in after school just to reach lvl 16 as soon as possible to unlock the southern harvest countries, I loved hanging around with other people because the community just was soo nice and chill and the game was just fun. The storyquest were interesting and the old graphics just made the game feel like a home. I loved my old starter and I'm still kinda sad that they changed it. Soon after the new graphic update I noticed that the game just felt different and quite soon after the quest with saving anne was out, I played it and then didn't go on my account for what I believe must be 1 1/2 years (in Late 2019). I started playing again like a year ago and the game changed. Many more horses but there were only like 3 new quests and Wildwoods (didn't like it tbh) which was disappointing again. New Starstable kinda grew on me because I still love it, but man, what I would do to just go back in time to experience the older SSO once again.
Starstable used to be such a good game, where ist it now...?
I'm a 2018 Player but when I started playing the graphics were the old and... The feeling was better! Espacially the Community :(
@@KALIXANDTHEGANG Yess same, the Community was soo funny and kind back then and nowadays it's just like a singleplayer game idk :/
@@carostrophal I loved to play with strangers cause I knew they were kind. Today I can't even ask anything.
that made me so damn sad, seeing how the game is changing every year makes it actually hard for someone like me. I mean it's good that the game is changing and growing but with how the old places looked like they're also erasing the memories I had there :(.. this game was a happy place for me, where I found friends and where I spend time with them.. sadly we all grow and the game is slowly getting boring for all of us. I still sometimes go back online to see whats happening there but it will never be the same. This video literally made me cry, I grew old with star stable and I will never forget this game
... when a game strays so far from the things it was adored for, that we no longer recognize it... that's when u know a game has failed its players 😭
I started playing sso in early 2015. I was 12 at the time. I was playing with an internet friend I met there, but I am not in touch with her at the moment. I will never regret starting to play it and spending the money on it. SSO will always stay in my heart
I have tears welling up in my eyes..
I always wish that games that had a vast image change like Sso would have a version you could play of the old Sso. I like it now, it’s definitely prettier for playing longer and better screens. But I miss the feeling of the old game
I feel so old.
its crazy what a game can do to you. I know it can sound crazy, but starstable made me so freaking happy back when i was a kid. Its crazy to realize im never, ever gonna experience the same feeling again. I want to be a kid forever, cherishing those precious moments..
This got me so nostalgic, I remember the days of 2014…
I started playing this game 2012 when I was 10 years old now that I am 21 I really miss my childhood playing this game all the time. I didn’t realize I’ve grown so much ❤
Oh my gosh…I literally clicked on this video so fast. I started playing Starstable in 2014. I’m 21 now. This game is special to me and I look back on all the changes Starstable has made over the years…I would think “the memories..” this video made me so happy❤️✨
the nostalgia 😭😭😭 i started playing when i was 9/10 and now i'm 18, i have so many amazing memories with this game and have met so many amazing people on it. i haven't played the game in like a year but i will never forget the joy and excitement of coming home from primary school to immediately log on to star stable and care for my little virtual horses. i wish to be kid again so bad man 😭😭
This looks better than it does today, ofc some of the horse models are crusty dusty but like it looks great, i never played it in 2012, though idk when i started playing, but the old textureing for the ground was wayyyy better than it is today, today's texturing of the grass is so childish, it use to look so much more realistic.
I actually really love that the game is working harder to be more realistic and still updating, but it’s sad knowing I’ll never get to play in the good old days again.
I miss old starstable so much, it's not the same anymore... :/
This hit me really deep, i started playing when i was around 4, even if i had siblings, i was a lonely child, i remember having fun with every player i can, meeting new people, joining clubs, exploring, doing whatever i could, and man.... it really built up my entire childhood, i cant forget it. And i never want to, this game saved me, and im forever grateful. I hate that we need to leave the old Star Stable behind. It breaks my heart. I want to stay a little kid forever, experiencing everything i couldnt, and could back then in the game. I want to go back, even if for a second, i want to... I wish i could... i wish WE could. It hurts so much, it hurts. Star Stable isnt just a simple game to cry, sob, and have a breakdown about. Its so much more than a game. So much more. And i will never be able to let it go. I wish we could turn back time. I wish.
this is worded so beautifully, you literally described my feelings exactly. at least we can mourn the old days and share the memories together. ❤️❤️❤️ have a wonderful day
m83 just made this video more emotional than it needed to be 😭😭
The game that always made me happy.. And my friends there. I started playing 6 years ago.. But i actually know this game for 8 years. I always used to log on every morning play with my friends. We were happy, always played together, and We enjoyed this beautiful game... Now all of my friends are offline because they probably quit and some of them even unfriended me.. I really miss the old sso, I will never forget it. And my friends..
Not me sobbing over a video game :,)
Brings back many memories.... Damn
oh my god this game was my whole childehood im sobbing so hard rn i miss this old things sm
i hope that one day they will bring the old game back for maybe a month or so. i want to experience it one last time
damn im actually close to tears, ive started playing when i was 9 and im turning 19 soon... still cant quite comprehend how much time has passed and how much i miss the old sso
The barn doors and the cat is the first thing I always remember and get sad about when thinking back, lol.. and the music / sounds for sure too.. it’s crazy how sad it can make you when times change and you play a game for a whole decade
I played this game in 2013 and it kinda hurts me to see that all if this is gone all the memories i have with old sso :(
I was 12 when I started playing this, I turned 18 on april 1st and I still log in (not as regularly as I used to) to see how the game has changed😭I miss the old sso
It breaks my heart to see how the old game is being erased 😢
who remembers the little disco party place where we always rode our horses to
Joined in early 2014 as a 11 year old. Flash forward to 2022 and as a 19, almost 20, year old, I still love the old Star Stable. Wish I could relive those memories. 💔
the old game had better graphics, styles, quests and gameplay... today's Jorvik feels like an alternative universe to this. old Jorvik was more enjoyable, realistic, darker than the Jorvik we have today... somehow it felt more realistic despite the developers putting in things that teens nowadays can relate to (ex. fangirling). back then, everyone was from Jorvik, not from London, Australia, etc. the old characters' backstories, personalities barely match the original ones, and it's sad.
The more years go by, the sadder this video gets😭💔
Thank you for this
One last rant bc somehow I get the feeling no one will read it anyway and I need it out of my heart and written somewhere haha:
I just get the feeling that it's always the same, a new business starts by building up on such good intentions, but at some point, the focus shifts from its original purpose to... money... and new people don't see it bc money allows for "quality content"... to some extent... but it loses the sense of family, home, being personal and close to you, this kind of "flirt" btw developers and community, where they do stuff for the purpose of making us happy, just bc they know we'll like it... it all goes to waste.
You're not a community and developers anymore, you're a buyer and a money algorithm, statistics that slowly forget what the game is built on, as long as the numbers are good, they're fine. Deciding on new stuff according to the money it'll bring in, not the heart of the game or even the community they are supposedly built on.
And older users who SAW that shift just feel BETRAYED.
I saw it with Wattpad, saw it in Duolinguo, saw it in SSO, it's painful and sad
And now, the one year where there is finally some concurrence, they are FORCED to either give us more or lose some decent amount of reputation and money... now they wake up... it's hypocrisy for me, they were capable of it all along but never HAD to because we had nothing better for us to turn to anyways, so they never did.
I'm done, there is no more trust, I waited 5 years, call me toxic for complaining and being pained by what this could have been, I'll take it and just bid farewell to a gorgeous game that carried my childhood. I'm sincerely sorry for all the bad vibes, I needed to let it out
Watching this in 2023 makes me so upset. I’ve been playing since 2013 and this just hit so hard. Every clip, a new memory unlocked. Thank you for this video 🤍
Oh damn... I remember those old lovely days... When I first bought a new horse... first time unlocking a new place... now sso is VERY different
I miss the old SSO. I miss the sheer joy and happiness I felt when I was simply walking while on my horse in Moorland. I miss pathetically asking nobody specificially to ride while crashing into the old doyles abby. I miss the feeling of getting Spirit after doing the daily Spirit quest. I miss my old SSO friends and club. I miss watching Breasha Whaleside and SSONorthheart. I miss finally getting the bridge. I miss my first SSO Christmas. I miss when the game was entertaining to me. I miss when the game cared about story quests. I miss when the game wasn't all about the money and horses. But most of all, I miss when SSO interacted with us players.
i remember logging in and seeing that my gen 1 starter horse got updated. i got so sad i started to cry and i wished my horse would come back. i miss old sso so much.
the quality back then wasn't as fine as what we have currently but there is something in the old version that I couldn't find in the new one, I miss the walks I had with my horse, admiring the sunset, the soundtracks that accompanied the mood and all of this. I miss it so much.
I do feel like the quests were more dark and actually contained story. Nowadays it's all child friendly and no real story. The games storyline is all over the place. It used to be about reuniting the Soulriders one by one, preparing for the light ceremony we perform to stop Garnok from getting in to our world and Darkcore from releasing him by performing the ceremony backwards and while we prepare for the final battle we train, look out for each other, keeping the darkriders in check to make sure they don't get to reunite before we do and perform the ceremony and keep on the look out for other dark forces to enter or some smaller problems. The smaller problems seem to have gain priority while the main storyline has been forgotten. I do see they're trying to correct that mistake slowly but I just hope now that Concorde is an adult we can get back to find out where and when the darkriders perform the dark ceremony and also train our powers we barely use them how are we supposed to fight without knowing how to use our magic. Then there's also the light ceremony book that Dark core still posseses how are we going to get it back? Last time I checked in past quests when the old writers wrote the story we had to find the four copies of the light ceremony book because Dark core has the book but it seems that's just been forgotten since resucing Lisa, Justin and Anne. So I wonder how their going to explain that? If they scrap that part of the story and make a new one in finding like a copy of the entire original book later on in the story split in to like three parts it's fine but do something with it sso!! Also the fourth darkrider has yet to appear and it seems she's arriving soon so that's good. And then there's also still our depth to pay to the singing yue (primivail tree on South Hoof) for asking to guide Justin while performing the Whispers cry to locate Concorde. I'm pretty sure by now the tree wants our help. SSO has a lot to do to get the story back on track.
i dont comment on youtube videos often but i cannot get over how beautiful this video is. it truly encapsulates old sso. i first started playing sso when i was around 7 and now i am a freshman in college. in a way, we all grew up together and to see it put into a video is so amazing. i love sso now but it will never be like how it was.
i’ve been playing since november of 2012. it’s going to be 11 year since i saw the advertisement for this amazing game. i still play the game every day but it’s not a large chunk of the day. training is split up throughout the day and if there’s quests, i’ll do them and log off after that. the game isn’t what it used to be and as much as i love how far the game has come, the nostalgia simply isn’t there anymore. i’ll be 21 in march. i started playing when i was 9. the current sso team simply threw the nostalgia away the day mistfall was released. i know we won’t get the old graphics, characters, horses, music, and sounds back no matter how much we beg the sso team to do so. but i have faith that we will one day as a birthday gift. a server dedicated to the old map, quests, characters, horses, etc. not only will it give the old players a revival of their childhood, but a chance for the new players to know what it was like playing star stable online in its prime. i still ride the old horses. i still wear the old clothes in champs, and i still play the old music when i’m training just to get that nostalgic feeling back. and every now and then, i get the adrenaline while competing in championships like the good old days. it’s moments like that where i wish the game never changed, the old ceo didn’t resign, and everything was mysterious, yet very peaceful. all i want to say is, thank you star stable online for making my love for horses grow stronger. without this game, i wouldn’t have ever known so much about horses, hence having amazing friends in every server that i travel to. thank you for being my childhood game and most importantly, my comfort game and my escape from reality when times got tough ❤
I've been playing sso since 2011, and the nostalgia is hitting HARD rn :,)
I miss the feeling I used to have playing sso back in the days
I miss the old sso :(
I started playing this game in 2015, on request from a friend of mine. Turned out to be one of the greatest decisions I’ve ever made. The amount of time I would spend playing this game. When I was sick from school, when I had days off, during the weekends or just after school I would grab my parents’ laptop and play SSO. The amount of fun I had from playing this game is insane. I have met amazing people on here and one of them turned out to be my best friend for over 5 years now. Because of this game we decided to meet in real life and it was definitely a succes. Not to mention the other great people I’ve met on here. Even though I do kind of like the way starstable turned out now, with all the good graphics and horses, I do prefer the old starstable more. Just because of all the memories I’ve made on there and the old graphics bring back nostalgia. I don’t play starstable that often anymore, once in 2 months at most, but it will always have a special place in my heart.
This game will be 12 years old on Wednesday, September 6 (next Wednesday), the first time I played it was in 2011 and when I see these videos it makes me very nostalgic, without a doubt, this game left me incredible moments
I miss the old Star Stable so so much. This video is giving me so much nostalgia and brings back so many fond memories! It wasn’t even that long ago when we were running around on the old map, interacting with the old NPC’s (like the Soul Riders). Everything from the mechanics, interface, soundtrack and sound effects is what made Star Stable the magical game that it is, or was…
I actually miss the old soundtracks, they played more often as you explored different regions of Jorvik, and they were a lot more intense in terms of volume. I miss the simple things like having to travel to purchase clothing or tack items, or waiting for the bus to go to Jorvik City..Having to press W to maintain a horses gait and what not.
Such fun times, it’d be nice to play that version of Star Stable again.. 😌
my god I just got over another video like this then I decided to watch this, honestly it hurts so incredibly much seeing my childhood fade away. I miss being young, coming home from school early to play sso with your friends. I used to never sleep because I was always too excited to play sso the next day. I remember the exact day I started playing sso, some girl at start of 2014 asked me if I played sso and I said “no” but then when I came home I immediately asked my parents if I could download it and so I did. I remember not being able to see anything on the screen because it was late in the evening and oh my god every single memory is popping up atm I think I am going to cry
For me I never got to play in these times but I wish I had. SSO I feel like has gotten just boring there’s not much to do. I feel the SSO world has gotten prettier but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s still very boring and there’s not much to do except quests. I recently stopped playing because there was really nothing to do unless u had star coins or a bunch of quests. Personally I have like 30+ quests to do just because I stopped playing and it’s very boring for me. I have to wait until I get my weekly star coins so I can go buy a new horse and get new stuff. I’ve just not had any motivation to do anything on SSO anymore..
Can’t believe I’m 16 now 10-13 year old me loved this game I was obsessed. I guess the new generation will have fun with the new sso but I just can’t get with it it’s so different and just unfun now but maybe that’s just me growing up
i had a best friend on star stable when i started, we used to play everyday, come online and wait for eachother to come online. It was amazing, until one day she didn't come online anymore, i waited for her every day. Eventually i gave up, she just dissapeared, and i'm still wondering where she is, i miss her so much :(
the fact that sso changed so much in that short time is making me cry. i don't mean like Jorvik Island change, but mainly how sso staff changed. they used to give us free sc and even free lifetime sr and now they only care about themselves and their money. it's so sad to watch how they don't care about us anymore. i used to be addicted to this game and i found so many friends, but now, everything is wrong. i want old sso back. i want to go back in time to experience my childhood again. in old Jorvik.
At the second where I saw the "Play Star Stable" and the loeading screen (with the cat !!!) memories and tears came up. This is a part of my childhood.
Thank you for making this video! Old SSO is very much missed.
What I also miss from back then is the old mysterious background music.. I didn't even notice it that much when i played this game more often, but when i started listening back to the orginal soundtracks from 2011 - 2014 of all the older areas and from the mainstory i got emotional.. All those soundtracks were way more beautiful and mysterious than nowadays. My favourite one is that soundtrack when you enter the secret stone circle for a druid meeting. I don't know someting about that one always get's me emotional or curious about the game's main story. And the dialoges of questlines were so much more realistic then now. more scary and it made me feel like I was actually talking to an adult and not a child. I mean even James a teenager is being seen like a godess and people of Jorvik actually pay him when he's playing mind games. Everyone used to see right through him. And the story in general was more logic. now it's all over the place. There was a clear mission to evantually perform the light ceremony to stop garnok and now it seems like all that is forgotten. just as older mysterious as Fort Maria, Devils Gap, Evelyn Goldspur, Old Hilcrest, fridge doors, if the druids are human or not, if the druids are the real enemy, The ice witch, Ashland, The kallters etc. are all forgotten or changed in to a childfriendly backstory or twist. Can we go back to the old times and have the old sso team run the game to show us what kind of quetslines should have actually happend, cause with the new management I feel like we might never find out what the old team had planned for the game's main story and side storylines..
the only sso i’ve ever loved and cared for. 🤍 things may not stay the same, even people, but my memories will and i will cherish them forever. i will never forget about my sso experience and when i stopped it all. i’m glad i got to meet amazing people, who changed my life. even though i don’t know if they’re still here, nor what they’re doing in life right now. joining sso back in 2013 will always be the best decision i’ve ever taken, and i can look back at my memories and smile, or even cry. ❤️
