Also one of my good friends told me they called them and they said they are planning a new PH for us that they want to finish by early next year. That's just a rumor though...so don't get your hopes up yet but maybe the hope will make some of us stop crying for a few minutes. :'(
If this is the case, I wish they would just tell us, instead of making us go through all of this misery.

Edit: By the way, has anyone emailed Disney? If so, have they responded to you yet and what did they say? I sent them an email yesterday...still no response.

Congrats on your badge! And a meet-up sounds like a great idea! Please post snaps in the Forums!

I love Pixie Hollow! I have to capture it for my lifetime.

Also, if you know how, which I don't yet, make videos of your fairies doing their favorite things! Anyone know how to do this?

I think once Pixie Hollow closes then we can all share our scrapbooks and videos, and keep Pixie Hollow Forums going so we don't go insane (or at least for a little while to help me get used to the loss?)

This is a great idea. Please post your results!

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. ....But I have no answer as to how to get the interested fairies together to hammer out a NEW HOLLOW.
I know what you and your wife mean about stress relief! And your idea is great!

So Flash is slowly eating away at many online games? I wish they would just tell us this in the beginning! I guess it's better that they told us when PH will actually close, instead of one day PH suddenly shutting down. But by no means am I saying that I'm fine with the Hollow going away! I'm still very sad about the decision Disney made, and we need to convince Disney to keep it open.

I've been crying for 3 minutes straight now, and my brother wanted me to get off the computer because of that. I'm just... so sad. Not sad. There's no word for it.

I feel sick. The past months (July and August) has really worn my spirit down with family matters and health, and now this happens. Pixie Hollow is my favorite online game out of the five that I play (Neopets and Free Realms being some of the others.) Now...Poof, it will be gone soon. Why even bother playing it if all that time will be for not?

I started crying when I saw the news. I've been playing PH for almost three years– when my first fairy, Gloria, will get her three year badge, there will only be eight days left to enjoy it. Honestly, I don't see why it needs to be closed! I've been through this with another game and I don't want to see it happen to PH too.

They say that we can go play on the new Disney Fairies site, but as I don't live in the States, I can't view it.

Anyways, if Disney thinks I will spend any more of my time on any of their other games... I've never played Club Penguin– never had interest in it. If Disney thinks that closing down PH will steer people to their other games, it's not working for me. I hope they realize that this is no good...

Edit: I remembered a quote from Dr. Seuss– "Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." I'm sad about PH closing, but I am still glad I got to meet such wonderful pixies and even play...

Hello fairies,

You probably don't know me. All of my friends probably left here like I did. I used to play this game. I loved it. This place gave me happiness and was my first REAL gaming experience.

I had lots of fun gathering ingredients and making friends. This forum, well, it gave me smiles and laughter, and was my roots of roleplaying. And I am grateful for that.

I left of course. I just grew up. I went on to bigger things, different places. I never forgot about my roots, but the memories slowly faded away.

Today, I saw some website telling about the closing of Toontown, ( of which I am upset as well. Toontown was another amazing gaming experience.) which spiraled into me knowing about the closing of all of the greatest games I have played, except for Club Penguin, which to me, got boring anyway.

I will look back on this game and forum, not with tears, but with smiles, for all it has giving me. I hope you do this as well.

Fly on,
Paige

I can't believe it. After all this time since 2007 they are closing down! My dad at first said it was a hacker, and that Disney would never give up on pixie hollow. Now I'm not to sure. Is there gonna be a new one? Me and my sister sent an email, and we both got the same replies. Usually it says, love from... But this time it just said 'bye'.
Let's think of some ideas to save the hollow! Come on people!!! Is is my fave game, it can't be closing down. I am crying right now...

There's also a petition if any of you are interested in signing it. I used a fake address. :P
Where us the petition...? I will defiantly do it!

Guys on the profile thing, it says new backgrounds in 90 days! And I count on the calendar 90 days and it is November 17. Does that mean there will be new Hollow on November 17? Just wondering...

Jenny, don't get your hopes up. It is just probably something as simple as they forgot to change/edit that info. When VMK closed people were grasping at any little thing and pulling Disney's words apart to see if they actually meant something else. If they had planned for the game to come back they would have announced it on the News page for us to check back in whatever month they were thinking of launching. I am sorry *hugs*

Shouldn't this have been removed from the new website even though it is still available now? They won't be able to get new players!!

I was glum but pretty calm about the closing when I read the notice last night. But today I found the Frosted Forest and it really hit me that there were people working very hard on new things for Pixie Hollow without knowing that a closing was coming. I can't imagine how much harder it must be on them. I only hope they are keeping their jobs and have already found new departments to create for. (A new technologically sound Hollow would be best). I'm glad that they're at least getting to show us what they have made for one last time. I also appreciate letting everyone try everything the Hollow had to offer one last time.

That said, I wish the ones in charge got to be the ones my nephew asked what happens to the pets at the Animal Adoption center after they close.

(Answer: I told him the fairy's had to close the Hollow to do work on the mainland like in Great Fairy Rescue, his current favorite movie, and will be taking the animals with him. He's keeping a look out in the back yard for evidence of pixies, the sweet little sprout.)

SERIOUSLY? Club Penguin? Does anyone even play Club Penguin? As for the platform issue... that's awful, I wish there was something they could do...
