There have been no major changes, and the 8 Ball Pool you know and love has stayed the same. It now also includes our new 8 Ball Pool Official Shop, in which many more payment methods are supported. I do hope that Flowplay does see how loyal ourworld users are and how much we really care for the game in consideration of rebuilding it to make it a fair fit everyone.Since has changed, the Web/PC version of 8 Ball Pool has a new domain, That’s why they stopped creating new items and rarely updated/monitored the game.
Which really impacts negatively on the loyal user base ourworld has. They probably knew that the game eventually wouldn’t be the same that’s why they put it on a client and threw it to the side. But over the years with the likes of social media expanding, and technology changing, Ow would of only reinvested back into the game knowing it would boost their sales. Ourworld relies on active users, gem purchasing/paid memberships. But as years went by, flash games lost its popularity and the level of players logging in to ourworld decreased, which financially impacted the company as it wouldn’t be feasible for ourworld to maintain itself on the web even after the loss of flash. Back then Flash games hit mainstream and it was a new platform for kids in that generation to experience. I feel like the lack of care for the game stemmed from ourworld not being as profitable as it was in its prime. It’s sad to think but Ourworld in 2008 will always be a different dynamic compared to what Ow is like now. As someone who’s been on ourworld from 2009, I was scared of logging on because I did have a good collection of times which took a lot of time over the years and the last thing I wanted was to be hacked and loose years worth of progress. The group of hackers were targeting people who were ourworld “OG’s” and people with high end items. Trading/selling items played a big part in ow Popularity but also in its demise from the level of greedy toxic people. But Aikawa is correct, even with the prevention of hackers, there still would be users who will be selling items for real currency which in reality kinda ruins the fun for people and Leaves innocent users to get scammed. I understand what you are saying and yes, there could of been more which Flowplay could of done as a company to protect the game. (P.S I hope if the game does come back, our accounts will still remain <3).
I will miss logging on, but its been one heck of a ride. To some people "its just a game", but ow really did hold a place in my heart from a child running back home after school in 2009, to an adult in 2021. It's sad to say goodbye, especially when it feels like a forced ending from "bad actors" - this day was going to happen eventually whether we wanted it to or not. Over the 12 years, I can proudly say I've made friends for life and I have had so many amazing memories and it's true when they say "all good things must come to an end." I think from last year alot of us came back especially after the terrible year of Covid-19, and I think many of us saw ow slowly starting to die off which is shame from how it used to be. I first joined back in 2009 when scrolling through Miniclip when another game closed down, and I dont think I've ever played a game as long as I have with OurWorld. But this time, it kind of feels right that I do. I never really write on posts for Ow, normally I just read through them.
