save Pixie Hollow
My wife said PH saved her sanity when we closed a business and had stress and I joined playing with her to have something to do together. We had four accounts, and twelve fairies...Shanna Lemonglow is just two badges short of 600; now her wardrobe is full, her badge has dropped to bronze and WE ARE IN SHOCK.
I suppose we couldn't start our own co-op and contract out artists and programmers? Most likely because of copyright issues. Disney should give this game away but they won't because they guard their material so closely. BUT if we could find a way to get our own copy protected game it wouldn't be difficult to find willing builders and artists. We could also do it in HTML5 which gets around the Flash issues we all slough through each day. It is cruel of Disney. It doesn't surprise me. A co-operative effort would be the only thing to stop corporate mismanagement from breaking our hearts. But I have no answer as to how to get the interested fairies together to hammer out a NEW HOLLOW. |

Thanks for keeping things going here so we can keep in touch at least to figure things out. So many of us had special bonds with many of the fairies. I'd hate to lose any of them.

I wish this was all some terrible joke...I'd be too relieved to be upset.

I blame the Never Unicorn -_-
Seriously, though, I'm also very upset by this news, even as an adult. I've sunk so much time (never mind the money) into the Hollow and fallen absolutely in love with it. This magical world has always been my little escape, a place to go and have fun when things in real life were difficult. I'm honestly having a hard time even playing now. Having all the clothes, items, and dyes available isn't fun; it just reminds me that it's over. Fly with you all. -Arien D. Last edited by ariendragon; 08-20-2013 at 10:52 PM. |

Where Do I Go From Here?
This is no fair. I spend over half of my life (and a big hunk of my money) playing this game. Two days ago we were reading about what was going to be happening this Fall and I got my 45 day notice for my membership which I put on my calendar. They obviously had stuff drawn for Halloween, Fall, Winter, Ice Castle animals (which are out if anyone wants them), and even pastries through Easter bunny time. So obviously the closing was one of those really dumb, poor Walt spinning in Heaven, made this morning and considering no one - especially the poor folks who probably lost their jobs AND LASTLY THE USERS decisions.
So what can we do to keep it open? Every time this happens, there is a large group of people left who are not served. I mean, my family and I have spent literally YEARS in Pixie Hollow and it would be tragic to lose it. Can we do a letter-writing or e-mail campaign? Remember how Star Trek and Firefly were kept alive on TV? I don't know; if anyone has some ideas about this - or maybe an inside track to the decision makers at Disney - let us know what we can do. And what happens to all our stuff?! I've got closets full of pixie clothes and warehouses of furniture! <sniff!> It's all the nice things I can't afford to buy IRL, and now I'm going to lose it. It's like some thieves broke in and robbed me - who knew I'd get robbed by Disney!! So sad. |

Just a further thought. To employ an artist full time would probably take $60k/year. @$5/month one artist would need 1000 subscribers to be paid. Right? We all have 300 friends on our list and have to keep the list culled. That doesn't include the bandwidth and programming support which would cost plus the cost of the bandwidth.
Do you think there are 5000 friends out here somewhere to pay $5/month? Next time it wouldn't be "money-fied" with diamonds! Anyone with cute ideas about language filters, diamonds (of course), art content, challenges like badges, and especially stability which is what drove me crazy. I just wanted some things to be the same and they changed the nature of the game frequently. What did you like about PH and what would you keep if it were yours? |

I looked at that new site of theirs. It's terrible! They have a link to Pixie Hollow on it though....

Their reason for closing, from their FAQ:
Quote:
They won't decide to keep it open though, no matter what we do. They've already made the announcement and set the end date and everything. I'm going to shut the computer lid and walk away now before I start sobbing. PS: This makes me wonder, then, why do this AFTER they JUST announced Pirate Fairy???

Ok, so here is what I collected:
Adobe Flash is having problems so they might shut down. Pixie Hollow, is run on Adobe Flash. Now, the best thing for virtual worlds is HTML5. On the new site, they have a LINK for Pixie Hollow. Just a few days ago, they were taking ideas. THEY ARE MAKING A NEW HOLLOW ON HTML5!!!!! Or at least I hope so. |
