A browser world of anime-style avatars, a boardwalk of shops, a level system based on wearing items and a premium membership. The record's entry for the virtual world with a devoted afterlife: it was among the busiest children's sites of the early 2010s, its fashion and level culture made 'Fantage' a verb in some playgrounds, and it was closed in July 2018 with an announcement its players are still posting about.
Died in July 2018, ten years old, its closure announced a few weeks before with thanks and no reason given. The record notes that private servers were built by its players within a year, which is the highest honour a dead site can receive.
A forum in 2012 in which a player listed their items with values and offered to trade a real bracelet for a rare in-game one. The record files it under the earliest cross-border trade it holds.
Someone remembers the boardwalk at night, a virtual boardwalk, and a friend from another country they met there and lost when it closed. The record files the friend.
The record notes that the game's level was raised by owning clothes, and that this made the first pay-to-win system most players had met into a wardrobe.
