A streamer plays a “dead” MMO and encounters a strange character. Quite a bizarre story.
The Last Player of His World
Hardly any player will be familiar with the MMO “Active Worlds” which was released around 1995. Essentially a kind of forefather of sandbox games, it allowed players to create their own worlds and share them with others. The sad reality: the game is dead. The YouTuber vinesauce plays “special” games from time to time, and recently he dived into Active Worlds during a stream to take a look around. Wandering through a completely abandoned MMO is already creepy enough, as it has something unsettling of an apocalyptic vision.
It gets creepy when the streamer then meets the NPC “Hitomi Fujiko” – or so he thinks. After a short time, the NPC starts talking to him and reveals that “This world is deserted” and asks “Am I real? Are you real?” You should check it out yourself.
It quickly becomes obvious that Hiromi Fujiko is another player who can still be found on the game server and is probably just playing a bit of RP to mess with the streamer.
Mein-MMO says: Whether this really happened or was just a setup by the streamer can’t be determined in hindsight. But even if the whole thing is just a fake, the story is quite entertaining and shows some disturbing images of what happens to our “favorite worlds” when all players have moved on. Quite creepy remnants that could still somehow tell a story.
