Reading all these comments has made me incredibly sad! I joined late 2011 (had like 3 older accounts at the time for some odd reason, kid things), and I think looking through my insanely long friends list made me the saddest of all! How are these people doing? Are they alive? It's so saddening, and bonfire was by far, my favorite pass time as a teen. If FH was still the way it was, but edited with maybe newer textures but same map layout, I would most definitely still have been on. So many memories, and the best part for me was the MC and AC because it always brought along new friends I guess, and I usually went there after making a new character to stalk bios and see if my character was attractive or not... x'D Had met one long lasting best friends on FH and I actually met her IRL earlier this year, was a blast, and wouldn't have happened if not for this game.
The Warrior Cats had some sort of impact, because I definitely loved seeing everyone's kitties, and making a small little clan within a big clan. There were places to go and places that usually kept the same, and in some cases, changes aren't the best for a working system. I'm not even going to water it down, I hated the updated back in 2016 (or was it 17? don't remember) and I still do. My opinion is that it should have never been so entirely changed like that. And when account creation was basically never available, it killed off most of the population. I understand the reasoning, but I can't help but still be bitter about it. But I certainly do cherish those memories very much, FH helped me meet amazing people and it's just a distant memory now.
