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.

Yes 😭😭😭❤️ these videos make me wanna cry

we still got ot old horses whit the old lool :3

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.

Me too :

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

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?

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

Proud of you :)

you said it all..

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)

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

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! :(

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.

im so proud of you

same 100%

Yep, where is Fashion week even? They have removed all fun

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

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

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 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.

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.

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

I will always cherish those memories ❤ by the way, glad to hear you liked this video 🤗

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.

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
