Idk how I ended up digging this thread out, but here we go, LOL. When I was in fourth grade (2005-2006), two of my close friends were telling me about the game at recess. This was at the time when I was a big junkie of like Webkinz, Neopets, Club Penguin, so when they told me about it, I was psyched. I ended up making my own account (PrettyBlissfulSky) after playing on hers for a while (ShawByte). I told one of my best friends from church about it also, so we constantly played together. His username was Inferno_Dancer, and was pretty popular at the time. I was OBSESSED with playing COB and just talking to people and remember back when there was a queue to actually log into the game! Not even a guest room! I played it up until the day it closed in 2008 and it was around the time I was graduating 6th grade. I was pretty devastated, so had to stick to playing Webkinz again, Neopets, and Club Penguin. Back in October 2014, I was super bored one day and ended up typing "VMK" in Google and then this game game up! I was pretty psyched to see it back since it was a huge part of my childhood!! I remember I found this a while back before we could actually interact with people, when it was in beta? That's my story
