Non-Disney Online Games SmallWorld - New build is online!

[Goofy05]

I was on earlier, I was kind of disappointed by some VMK players who are taking advantage of the non filtered chat..

Filtered chat for me, all the way! I am an adult, but I don't need to hear a bunch of teenagers talking smack just because they can. All I need to do to hear that is roll down my window at any stoplight in the city, I surely don't want to hear that on a game!
I'm sorry you witnessed that, but not all vmk players were kids and not all of them are adhering to Disney standards anymore. It's a whole new (small) world! heh

I know what you mean, but I witnessed a guy saying degrading things about girls.. I think that's reportable

I'm enjoying the open chat as much as anybody, I enjoy talking freely with my friends but that doesn't have to mean going over the top like so many are. I have probably been overreporting, but I'm not gonna stop. My feeling has always been do what you want in private, but in public people should have enough respect for themselves and others to have some manners in their talk and behavior. Even though this game is wide open with few restrictions, I still believe that.
Some of the worst, I've been...
1. cussed out with the very worst words (spelled creatively to get around the filter) by a little girl I had just met cause I didn't want to join her girls' club
2. assaulted virtually in a very inappropriate manner in a hot tub
3. seen obvious children trying to look big by saying the grossest things they can think of
4. seen a friend harrassed endlessly by somebody looking for a virtual hook up


Thankfully, most of the people I've seen know how to behave themselves and these incidents don't come terribly often but I do stay mostly in friends' rooms or in my room now because of these things. I'm also reporting when I suspect somebody has lied about their age to play, I asked a staff member about it and he said yes, to please let them know. It's just not safe for kids, a predator would have a very easy time getting info from a naiive person in this game.

In spite of these issues though, I'm loving this game. I love the ability to be creative we have to customize our houses and I'm really enjoying having a place to hang out with my old vmk friends and making some new friends too. I just really really need some hippy clothes!

Oh goodness, Goofy.. heh. Try not to stereotype us teens.
Although I offically will not be a teenager by the time this year is over, I maintained more conservative morals throughout my teen years and I know I can speak for many others who did as well, on the DIS and off.

For the record, I have experienced plenty of people in EVERY age group who will be innapropriate, curse and talk smack just because they can.





As far as the game itself... I would totally be more into it if I had things to do in-game by myself. I'm basically out of missions, so really the only fun I am having is weekend-party time when a lot of friends are logged in. I have no incentive to play arcade games. I can just watch videos directly on youtube. I can open up Ruckus and listen to anything I want for free. The game just doesn't hold my interest when I am wandering around on my own.

And for goodness sakes, give a girl some more clothes!!

Is anyone else having any problems logging into the game right now? On the home page, I can see the text on the bottom half of the page, but no images and no login box.

I'm not having any trouble, Mint.

Hmmm... I figured with a new day arriving, I would be able to access SmallWorlds again, but still nope. And since I can't login, I can't even post on the forums to tell them about my problem. I'm at work and they do have a tendency to block things, but this isn't blocked because I'm not getting the blocked message. It's just that nothing but the text at the bottom of the screen is showing up. I don't get it.

Mint - Smallworlds is blocked at my work as well...all that shows up is the header and the text at the bottom I think as well...I don't get the standard "content blocked" message either. I think it has to do with the scripting or something...

I like having a less restricted chat but in the public areas it needs to be kept respectful and courteous. Although I seem to find less and less of that behavior in real life.

Oh, I don't know...it's been fun getting some "friends" ready to have the dance parties this weekend... The ape mission's pretty much a non-issue anymore, LOL!

(hey...someone's gotta work to support Rightsaid's lavish lifestyle! It's all about the bling!)

Dance parties?! I guess I need to search for more of you so I can party too!

Hi guys! I just started playing this game too.. I need 3 people to come to my room for the mission. If you guys could help out, that would be great. I am looking forward to meeting up with you on SmallWorlds.

My name on there is Francis Longpants.. don't ask about the incredibly odd name, I was listening to the TV and playing my DS when I put that in there.

MISSION COMPLETE!

Papa has another tournament going, this time the prize is 500 tokens (he didn't quite make his 600 back in the last one hehe) and the game is popaloon. You are welcome to come play it in my room or his or set it up on your arcade games!

Thought this was interesting, this is the traffic count for Smallworlds, not sure if it has been posted before. This is from the Tech Crunch website.

 

[aengus]

haha wonder what happened in may that might have caused an increase ROFL

 

[PopStar]

LOL Aengus.

Whoah, I've been gone for quite some time, I CAN'T read all this! LOL I stopped after the first couple of pages xD.

I'm on the site one, killing myself over what my avatar should look like LOL. Can you change it later? Do you get them free like when you sign up for VMK? or do you have to buy everything you wear besides what you sign up with?

Anyway, I'm so excited most DIS'ers are playing this game! I hope I thoroughly enjoy it to the fullest just so i can spend time with ya! Heck! I'll do it even if I DON'T like the game! LOL (But I hope I love it!)

We should have a stickied thread or something, with everyone's names from here/vmk/smallworlds so it'll be easier to meet people from here. Anyone want to take on the challenge?

From only reading the first couple of pages, the important info I found out was that all beta testers lose everything after beta. Is there anything else that's important that I should know?

Oh, and I find the avatars a little funny looking, LOL. from the front we looked a little hunch-backed.

Hope to see your beautiful avatars soon!

ETA: (I'm assuiming that means edited to add, ROFL) I've got another question! (I'm jsut full of them, aren't I? LOL) Can you change your dance moves later on in the game, or is it the only dance you'll ever do until the end of beta?

Just so you know, there is one already. Check out this thread below and scroll down to the SmallWorlds section. That should give you most of the information you need to know.

You can go back and change everything about your avatar except the name. There is nothing else to wear; what you see when making your avatar is what you wear until you go back and change it.

Face it - we're bobbleheads.

You can go back and change your dance whenever you want to.

Aengus has a great guide for those starting SW around here somewhere - I'll post the link when I find it.

You can't change the name of your avatar, but you have 4 other slots in which to create an avatar, and you can give it permissions to act as owner in 5 houses.

Thanks a lot!! =] I'm sorry all of my questions probably could have been answered without me asking! My search engine isn't working for me.

Anyway, I'll be sure to check those threads out!!
