Same. :/ But still, why would a URL that says PixieHollowComingSoon exist? I looked it up and it's only been available since September 21st...

I just typed that URL online. On a website, someone asked a question about Pixie Hollow in 2008. Here's the answer;

Quote:
Disney is launching this virtual world of pixies and fairies centered around tinkerbell.
It hasn't been launched yet but you can already create your own fairy at

http://disney.go.com/fairies/pixieho...omingSoon.html
So...the URL may be old. But then again, why would it be showing up when you search Pixie Hollow and (like Phoebe said) only be available since September 21st? I am going to be keeping an eye on this...

Oh, and I saved the html code for the pixie hollow original website, in case you guys want to use it. If you click on anything it'll redirect you to that dumb new website, but you can still see the loading thing with the fairies and stuff. If you copy and paste the code into an html previewer (such as this) then you can see it. If worst comes to worst and they never reopen Pixie Hollow, at least we'll have the memories. Terribly sorry, but I'm kind of new to the forums and I have yet to figure out the attachment thing, so here's a google drive link: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...it?usp=sharing

He might share info! And why did he say "We'll all have to be very patient"? Maybe its another clue?

I went on his website and found this:
"Pixie Hollow Online
Schell Games designed and developed this flash-based MMO based on Disney’s Tinker Bell brand. Development took place over 2 years in a partnership with SilverTree Media. Pixie Hollow Online was awarded the Parents’ Choice Silver Award in 2009. Schell Games has continued to work with Disney to provide content updates to this popular MMO."

So I went on SilverTree Media website and found this:
"Create A Fairy's main audience is girls 8-12,
The original Create A Fairy, now the gateway to Pixie Hollow. Over 25 Million unique, customizable fairies have been created!"
Why did they close PH if it had so many players...?

-thinks- This is getting stranger and stranger! What do you all think?
WOW thank you!! I had been wondering how many fairies there were. However, 25 million fairies doesn't mean 25 million players (since each player could make up to 3 fairies). And how many of those bought diamonds or had a pay account? I still wonder that. Please keep us updated.Thank you!!

Lol, I'll help you.

On the Google Docs link she sent, copy EVERYTHING on the all the pages. Then go to the HTML editor link she sent (the first link she posted) and paste everything you copied from the Google Docs page into the HTML editor box... soo... you'd paste it here:

Well, here's something to consider.
Of those 25 million+ accounts, how many were paying members? Assuming that the majority were not, that is a lot of server space taken up which equals more money down the drain. However, I do not believe that money is
the reason why they closed.
Of those 25 million+ accounts, how many were actually still in use? I'm assuming that the majority were inactive and that data just meant over 25 million accounts have been created total. Maybe the margins were steadily decreasing on PH and the others and so they decided to shut the doors?
Club Penguin is an international site, that may be part of the reason why they have switched gears. The margins may be steadily rising on CP and the other sites were decreasing. Maybe CP has a better paying member : none paying member ratio.

None us know why Disney closed the sites. We probably never will. "Maybe this, maybe that. What if this, what if that." Unfortunately, we will never know why they closed the Hollow unless they tell us.

It doesn't appear to let me load my Pixie house pages but the main page lets me load it and even download ALOT of files from the 'Printables' section. I find it interesting that the files are still online at the old server, just not easily accessible. But I'm downloading everything while I still can and before stuff gets deleted!

If you're on Chrome, you just go to tools and then view source. It should give you the code. If you're on a different browser just find a thing that says view source.

Hmm...I did it and when I pasted it into the HTML editor it just redirected me to that stupid new Disney Fairies page -_- Weird that it only works with the Pixie Hollow homepage...why would they turn off the servers using our pixie pages but not the homepage?

That's pretty cool how we can still access the loading screen and PH Central. I assume that the Pixie Pages don't work because the Disney staff have disconnected the database servers so they are no longer available to the public. I wonder if they're planning on completely deleting all the collected information at some point.
