    Meepcity was honestly really fun. But the developer doing nothing, lack of moderation, cheap excuses, and the playerbase growing worse, The downfall was already visible. This game should probably be a lesson to upcoming game devs that want to make hangout games similar to meep city. Because it's only too late before your game comes to ruin because of the lack of managing your game to be safe for roblox.

      Its like those minigames where you have to click so the line stays where it has to stay. If you click enough, you go outside the part where it has to stay (aka overmoderation) but if you dont click and do nothing, the line goes down a you lose (aka no moderation).

    As a Roblox veteran who joined in 2015, it is disappointing to see such a great game being neglected. I remember playing it everyday until Alexnewtron didn't make any more great updates and I left the game. It was one of the happiest moments of my life. No matter what happens, Meepcity will always have a place in the hearts of Roblox veterans like me. But every story must come to an end.

    Its kinda ironic that in the beginning the song was "its just a burning memory" because it kinda describes meepcity. its just a ashen ruin of something that used to be wonderful, and part of many childhoods. Even though the flames have settled, it may as well be gone, nothing more than a mere memory.

    I left Meepcity after they removed parties. But it is really sad how instead of Roblox deleting these inappropriate avatars, Meepcity had to do something about it which ment removing parties. I’m not mad at Meepcity for removing the parties, I’m mad at Roblox for failing to ban these disgusting avatars. Because believe it or not they where some parties that weren’t infested with slenders. I might return to Meepcity one day. But we’ll have to see.

      I really miss going to FNAF parties and genuinely having fun as a kid. Honestly I didn’t even play the toxic parties. Alex could’ve done a million things to change meepcity parties. I know children grow up. They want to feel like adults, and date, and drink, and all that-but man. If given the chance, I would go back to the days when meepcity was filled with children who wanted to have fun and socialize with others their age. Now it’s just so…it needs no explination.

    In its essence, Roblox MeepCity was intended to be a place where players of all ages could connect and express themselves in a safe and welcoming environment. It was about building bonds and fostering a sense of community among users from different corners of the world. These parties were meant to be a celebration of unity, a joyful escape from the challenges of reality, and an opportunity to make lasting memories.
    Regrettably, the dark shadow of inappropriate behavior has fallen upon these gatherings. We have seen instances of explicit and offensive language, discussions of explicit content, and even actions that are entirely unsuitable for the intended audience of the game. It is disheartening to witness such behavior, especially considering that MeepCity is a game primarily targeted at young players, who should be free to explore and enjoy the digital world without exposure to harmful element.

It's really sad that that all happened because I have so many good memories playing the game :(

    A cafe. Specifically, Honey Cafe. It was relatively small compared to the cnp parties, but I loved running it. It was fun. I owned basically every food item in game to make food for my costumers, until parties were removed.

    Meep city must remove those layers clothing. That's common issue for Meep, also some other slanders use stack layer clothing to make their character to be thick, more like torso and legs. Add less limit for layered clothing, making this issue getting controlled or just make Meep city in to R6 only. That would solve everything besides layer like I said earlier.

It's really sad to see the game fall apart when it was one of my favorite games back in the day. :( It's a shame Alex barely did anything to stop the OD. I'll miss parties too. It was one of the reasons I gained friends and stuff. Also the game parties (Like fnaf or something) were the best. I loved how original people were to re-creating the game and blasting the music on the boombox. Sometimes I wish parties were still here, but there's a reason they were removed. I really hope that next time if anyone is gonna make something similar to Meepcity they will take it seriously to moderate the game.

    My god why have I just ran into this now? The way you make the explanations fun by summarizing them and implementing memes to clearen them and to make them not bland is phenomenal. I've watched many summaries of the meep city issue just to look for something I'd actually understand because of what has happened to the game and this was exactly something I'd clearly understand. The video itself was amazing especially the script shortly compacting the explanation to under half an hour. You have my gratitude and a sub, please continue your content.

    Meepcity was one of the first games I would play everyday. I started playing Roblox in 2014 and started playing meepcity in 2015-2016 when the game was at it’s prime and I recall making alot of friends. I slowly grew out of the game over the years. Visiting the game now is unfortunate.

      I started playing in about 2015 and it was the first Roblox game I’ve ever joined from what I recall. Games like neverland lagoon(I think that’s what it was called) and work at a pizza place are dead games that weren’t quite ruined like meepcity or royale high though. I still miss them. Never would I have thought then that in the future the game would be unrecognizable.

    I really miss the old meepcity, it was really fun to just roleplay with the areas. Seeing it turn into a heap of burning garbage really sucked, I remember joining it again after a long time of never playing it, just for nostalgia, only to see how much it degraded. I hope this problem is dealt with, meepcity will probably never return to an innocent state, but I really just don’t want anybody else to be able to witness this disgusting stuff.

    Although i started playing roblox around late 2015 i didn’t quite get attached to a roblox game until meepcity came out, i think i had started playing meepcity in the first month or even the first few weeks. at the time i was appropriately aged to play the game, i was around 5-7 years old. Roblox was at a weird limbo at the time between being a popular platform and a place to just make games for fun. I had alot of memories with it, for most people nowadays they say their childhood games growing up where mario kart, neopets, club penguin, but now unfortunately i will have to grow up saying that my childhood favorite game was meepcity. the community banished the name, whenever u hear the name meepcity u think of how it is in present day. I tried to play the game for awhile, i had mostly stopped at around maybe late 2018 or mid 2019, i would say meepcity is a perfect example of why to be careful about what u add into the game.

It’s such a shame that MeepCity parties were taken down due to terrible and dirty minded players abusing the use of parties.

Then it all changed, in 2021 my friends abandoned me and then blocked me sooner are later to make friends with other people. They started to changed they’re avatars, changed there hair changed they’re shirt into everything I could never imagine. I talked bad about them and then told my story to everyone.

However, until when I finally came back to the game after my Roblox account got hacked (2020), I check meep city again and- there were good changes to it (not as much) on CZcams, I would usually see people call out the game to be very dangerous for kids, in which it includes lewd parties and yes N4z1 shit (THIS IS REAL I SAW IT). This is why Roblox removed it. It’s understandable for the creators to remove the whole party thing but it was just for their games protect and especially people who play it often. I mean, I don’t play the game as much anymore but it is a game that I would probably stay out of. I also wanted to add that trolling dream smp parties was worth it

    I remember when I first played this game back in 2016 to 2017. Though I was cringe back then, those times were absolutely fun. I wish I was back in those times

    Back then in 2018 for me, it was nicely excellent with me just hanging around in the Halloween event that year. Parties before were extremely breathtaking, I met many new friends there, like a massive Christmas Party I joined back then. MeepRacing made me felt like I was in Mario Kart but in MeepCity, so cool. Now the downfall could already be seen miles away with boredom, the gross revealed creator and online dating with inappropriate clothing, I wish it was something like the old days.

    Personally, I used to love Meepcity when it was just an innocent RP game , It just got boring with barely new updates , But after that it just changed, everyone used to be so nice, just trying to have a good time. Then it became flooded with e-daters and just generally rude people. Parties used to be fun, people just socialising, then it changed for the worse.

    Late 2016-early 2017 meepcity was so fun, roleplay actually was fun to do back then before the parties became literal strip clubs
