Rainbow Pixie Hollow Private Server

Hi pixies!

Lately Toontown private servers have come to life.Toontown Rewritten which is in the process of beta . Toontown House which will probably release today.Also POTCO got his own private server as well its Pirates Online Rewritten.

I think we have to try and find a team to make us a private server.Truly I think we are discriminated ... I saw someone post on mmo central forums ...
Farewell TT and POTCO ... and PH even though it was a poor child game without many players.
I don't even know how to do this. I just want to play this game again!

Do any of you know someone who knows programming.Maybe we can ask some of the teams that recreated tt and potco ,after they finish theyre jobs there , to make us a private server

Listen, Penelope, I think its time for you to move on from PH. A lot of us have accepted the fact that it may not return and we did try everything. We emailed game designers, we emailed Disney Interactive and f.y.i., we did email TTR about opening a private server for PH, they said no. We can't do more than what we already did, its over. I'm not trying to sound negative but its been almost 8 months since the closing... don't you think its time to let go and move on already? Plus we have the forums to keep us strong! We can still talk to other pixies, just not on the game. I think that's better than nothing! So I'm telling you this because everyone has already accepted the fact and moved on with their lives, and that's the best option right now. We're putting PH to good rest after 6 good years, and its about time that you did too.

To be honest, I don't know what to think about this idea. From my experience with other private servers from other games, they don't last long. The makers of it aren't making a profit and therefore when they get tired of maintaining it they either shut it down (sometimes even without warning), or they leave it be without maintenance where floods of bugs, glitches, and hackers would completely eat it up. But all private servers are different; maybe the PH one (if we get one) will have better luck. I just doubt it will run longer than the Disney PH, but it would be wonderful if it did. On the brighter side of things, I think having a PH private server would be lovely. Amber, I understand your point and that moving on is the best, and I agree with that; I think the majority of us have, and having a private server would just be a fun little thing to do, not necessarily a new home. Also, I fear that if we do make a private server, we shouldn't invest all our time, hard work and effort into it. I did that with the last private server I did and it was gone in a flash. But if we're really serious about the idea of making a private server, I support it, as you all are aware that it could be gone really quickly. (not to sound negative or anything, just realistic)

I agree with everything you both have said...but I'm feeling cynical in this area. I think Amber is right; it won't live long, and even if it did stick it out for a longer time than we expected, I'm afraid, especially if it proved to be a quality private server with lots of similarities to our PH, that if it closed, or bugged out, or anything, we would just be upset all over again! If we hit it off lucky though, perhaps the few of us would play it only to realize that it's simply not the same as it was before. For me personally, it wouldn't feel the same without Chloe, Mia, Izzy, and even Violet. Even if they were all there-- yes, even then, would I feel maybe just a bit grown out of Pixie?

I don't know. These are just my thoughts. Maybe I'm looking at this prospect through my own eyes and not the eyes of others...still, this is my opinion, whether it's of any significance or not.

I've already pretty much moved on and am letting the thought rest for a while.
Penelope, I am suggesting you do the same, because if we did have a private server, it might not last long, as pretty much everyone else had said.

As much as I hate to admit it, everyone is right. We need to move on...at least for a while...maybe until the anniversary of the closing or something...

I'm having trouble moving on myself, but if I don't think about it, I don't remind myself of the pain of PH closing.

How do I move on? I try to not do anything PH related - which means none of the movies, no books, music...or anything like that. I try to void myself of those things, that way I won't get choked up and think "Hey, maybe we could create our own Pixie Hollow!" And, no, I'm not trying to mock you Penelope, or anyone with the same thought.

I just think we all need to move on. But stay on the forum of course, to keep in contact with friends.

I email the TTN rewritten people asking if they are opening the other closed games :O
UNLESS THERE making PH rewrtitten :/ But like you guys said it wont last long..
An I have moved on so im not planning to get my hopes up.. Its time to move on its for the best of us.. U can't hang onto the past forever but you can't
forget the memories we must pass on bc PH will always be in our hearts. It's time to end something we have struggled with and will miss but to start a new beginning for all of us.
*slithers off to watch tv*

Unlike most everyone I will be holding out hope that Disney will reopen Pixie Hollow, or something revamped from it, in the future. I don't think a private server would be as good, for many of the reasons mentioned above. I want updates! New items! Events for the movies! New events for seasons! It would be difficult for a private server to fulfill that wishlist.

But I haven't given up hope yet on an official future game I don't like any other games, so I'm hoping Disney will make one that I like and take my $$ again.

Out of curiosity, if someone was interested in making a Pixie Hollow private server or something very similar and had no previous experience or knowledge of programming, where would they begin? What would they need to know or learn?

They would need to know to stay away from Disney infringement which covers anything that even looks like a Pixie. You risk unleashing Disney lawyers as their property is THEIR property. Only Disney can bring back Pixie Hollow no one else or they could be in serious trouble. Don't you understand you are playing with fire.... the Hollow is gone let it be.

Who has a private server powerful enough to run Pixie Hollow and why would they do this with out money. Disney (with its deep pockets) is out so why would anyone else try. A private server wouldn't even be able to run a quarter of the old Hollow that's how big a job it was.

Messing in Disney's business without their permission is asking for a world of trouble that is what I am trying to convey.

I'm not 100% certain, but a SWF file maker could be used such as Adobe Flash (are there any other programs out there?), which uses Actionscript code language. Javascript and HTML are also useful programming languages.

As much as I have understood about Flash so far, Pixie Hollow Online must have been extensively coded, as there was no one SWF file available on the page, but rather each animation within the game was imported onto the gaming screen through code. It would be a huge amount of work just to re-create the original game, without even talking about new updates. As someone had mentioned in another thread, PH didn't have any files to download (unlike Toontown), so it would take much longer to re-create.

In the mean time, it would be very helpful if some fairies would be interested in learning Actionscript, as I could definitely use more helping hands with collecting wardrobe items. Whether or not a private server will be made in the future, at least we can have a collection of outfits to keep. Plus, the items are all stored in a safe place, so if anyone will ever wish to expand the game, the items will already be available. In terms of copyright issues, I don't see how it would matter if the game is not intending to make a profit, but I would have no clue as to how the law of copyright works for retired online games.

At least the Disney Fairies franchise is still available; who knows, maybe they might release something fairy-related in the future?
