    One time, as a 12 year old I got a serious military habbo job where I’d meet up with the same players everyday, and play our legit “job” roles
    It was a paying job too, 10c’s a day or something
    Eventually they trusted me enough to give me “rights” to the entire, well designed room.
    So one day, I decided when all the players were logged off, to mess up the entire “military” room - and frame my least favorite habbo coworker in the sticky notes.
    *it worked*
    He was “fired”, and I felt the habbo power shift

    That "red pixel" scam actually happened to me, again, on Runescape.
    In Runescape someone was wanting a "Green Satchel" which is really just a cosmetic item but used for some mini-game or whatever.
    Either way someone was buying it for like 100k, and someone at another bank was selling it for like 50k.
    I thought "I can double my money" right there and traded for it, however the other guy that was buying the satchel had left.
    So I'd fallen for the scam, but I came out victorious with a green satchel.

      The nostalgia, I remember playing a game called Dofus. It's like a 2D RuneScape.
      There was no exchange so when people wanted to trade they would be on opposite sides of the map, drop the item on the ground and start walking to the direction to pick them up. That's when 5head players decided to hide behind props (trees, crates, houses, etc...), wait until players moved mid-way and run to the item on the ground before combat logging out.
      Then obviously the devs introduced an exchange system. You could exchange gold in it too. So 5head players would say "I'm quitting, giving 10% of your gold", you would open the exchange with them, put 100,000 gold, you would see them put 10,000 so you would accept.
      Except instead of receiving 10% you just gave 90% of your gold.

      Ah, what a blast from the past, I remember when roblox just launched on 2009 and looked like a very crude Lego/Habbo wanabe but kinda fun in the core, my PC was shit so it never ran, those were the days of the sad but true free2play pay2win games era, lots of dancing/rythm games, social MMOs that tried so hard to emulate Habbo but never succeeded, a ton of half assed broken fps and tps games that made counter strike look like a holy grail, many crude flying and racing free games that were made by people who didn't knew how to fly nor drive using rpg's graphic engines, studios having partnership with cybercafes in order to hold official online tournaments and an ocean of MMORPG's that wanted their part of the cake of the RuneScape/warcraft craze...
      2009 marked the difference, that's when AA and AAA studios started to focus on making free2play games, most of them emulating paid (premium) games like battlefield play4free, final world, need for speed world and A.V.A. (a free2play really decent CoD knockoff featuring around 15 game modes including story coop missions/scenarios), that's when all we now know as free2play games like warzone, Fortnite, destiny, PES and genshin impact started....
      Man, just for a day I wanna go back, most of the games were horseshit tbh but I want to experience again the part of making friends, make groups with other randoms to enter raids or team up in battlefield or operation 7, fooling around like tomorrow never came
      I hate to schedule my playtime and friends in order to play 2 matches of warzone and having to deal with toxic dudes or waiting all week long in order to play GTA online just to be greeted by a flying bike constantly killing me

I played Growtopia in 2013 and there were plenty of scams around from games people made up to trick others into paying then banning, fake shops, pay2stay but then get banned anyway, doubling scams, etc. I think it's a great opportunity to teach kids about scams and not trusting everything strangers say online, especially before actual money gets involved. It's really scummy but it's a lesson they will eventually learn someday.

    I was like 8 years old when the "Pool has AIDS" thing happened and I was a regular player of Habbo. Being a kid, I thought they were just doing something funny and I copied them and got banned. I kept making new accounts and getting banned. Then I quit playing. Funny memories of the times just before and after that, though. Everyone loved the pool or the lobby, and we'd always wonder if the mods there were real or chat bots. I really liked going to people's apartments and just chilling, which makes sense considering I ended up spending a good half decade of my life doing the same on runescape. Just chilling in people's POH and dungeons, having fashion shows. That was always my favourite part of every MMO I played as a kid. Did it on Phantasy Star Universe as well, with your little room and shop. And the casino in PSU. Man, thank goodness for Runescape and Phantasy Star for feeding my gambling addiction so I didn't end up having to lose real money on it. Kind've funny circling that back around into how gambling killed Habbo and is now such a big issue on Runescape.
    Anyways, thanks for the nostalgia. Tried playing this game like 2 years ago and it ran at 2 fps no matter what I did and crashed my browser and made my computer blue screen. And now I'm a Hobo who lives in an alley by a Hotel, well okay actually it's a motel, so isn't that just fantasical.

      - a full grown adult doesn’t have no reason to get with someone who still in school. What those adults need is some reconsideration.
      -Just because romans and Greek did it, doesn’t mean it was a good thing. They also had slaves, were always in war, and look at what their civilization happened. Gone off the earth, only remnants of ancient pass.

    I remember making my own pay to revenge scam, I would have 2 browsers opened and would enter myself as a player while also being the master of the game, so not only I was faster getting to chairs because I knew where I was placing them, I could 100% trust the inside agent as well :D

    When I was new to RL I played a couple games with this really nice dude, I'd collected casually a bunch of skins through luck (no idea of value) and had so much fun playing with him at the end after we won a bunch of games and both played really well he suggested I trade with him, he kept saying put more for these red wheels which I thought meant they were super valuable and gave him like £50 worth of stuff at the time. Fucking wheels didn't even spin. I was around 23 lol.

    I actually rev scammed in musical chairs when I was 8 with my 10 year old sister, it worked so well and is still one of the best memories of the game. Yes children do come up with this stuff ^^ 3:42
    Edit: to clarify, my parents and I think most parents were skeptical of paying for virtual items in the 2000s, so getting anything worth actual money was really cool
