Why You Miss Old Star Stable | Pinehaven 

“We just grew up.” That swept me off my feet. For years I’ve been trying to figure out why I’m not as excited to play sso and why most of my past sso friendships have deteriorated. And you hit the nail on the head. It really hurts to realize that we’ve... grown up. I started playing sso a year or so after it first came out. I was so excited to jump on my starter Skygazer and go watch the morning haze turn to a clear day. And you’re right. Back then my life was simpler. No college prep, crushing stress, or existential crises. It was just, like I was “there.” In the moment. Not worried about where I would be 5 years from then, not what I was going to do for the rest of my life, I was just thinking about wether I wanted to talk to Fripp or go Roleplay. And every time I see clips of the old sso, the more I wish I could go back, even for a moment. Gosh I hate growing up. If you’re a kid reading this, please hold tight to “the good old days.” Because they pass by too fast, and they may never happen again.

I just miss the sensation of finding something new and thinking moorland is huge once they let me out the darn stables

“And getting angry with Loretta because she was so *DAMN* MEANNNN” Me: *preach honey*

*I'm playing Star Stable since 2013 and I miss: loading screen, old graphic, old logo, but the mostly our good community full nice peoples. :/*

I honestly miss the pink cat loading screen, it was literally my childhood 😂

I still remember that pink old loading screen, Man that was a long time ago I was like..6. TYSM for over 500 likes!

4 years ago i had a lot of friends, we’d call and play like every night. they all stopped playing, we’re all 14/15/16 now. and whenever i played sso 4 years ago, i just got this “feeling” or something.. but that feeling is gone and it wont get back. its insane how sso played such a big role in my life even though its just a horse game lol. i just miss the good ol’ times. everything was so easy

i just miss the snowy Jorvik, how the starter horses used to gallop and the way characters looked

"Your friends stop playing star stable" That hit hard.Very hard... Edit:Thanks for all the likes woah

I started playing SSO in 2014. Now I’m level 22. I really wish we could just go back in time and explore the old SSO one last time...

It hurts so much. "If you spend your whole life wishing things that were as they were before, you will never make new memories." It's totally true cause I replay SSO just for good memories I spent with my friends but now, I have definetely no friends on SSO, they all leaved the game and it's really sad to know it.

4:22 who remembers playing when that was the logo.

*"As the game got better, your life got harder."* I LOVE THAT QUOTE

i don’t miss “old star stable” i miss the old feeling i’d get when i used to play. i miss the old community. the excitement. edit: i just realized this was uploaded on my 5th sso anniversary T_T

I miss the old cozy stable, and the walls around moorland and i miss the imagination i used to have...but THAT IS the biggest problem, ive growned up...

Whenever I hear the moorland music it makes me feel complete and young. Again ..... ❤️❤️❤️❤️😭

I remember when I had to delete files just to get my horses bridle off...and my rider so I could be “wild” 😭😂😂😂

I AM SO JEALOUS BECAUSE THE NEW PLAYERS GET NICE LORETTA 😂 Edit: omg thanks for all the likes!

this hit me really hard, realising that we've grown up is awful...that old feeling when you enter the game and being so proud to finally learn how to jump or begging your parents for starcoins because there is that one horse that you just want..now you logg in, level up your horse for a few minutes and get bored so you go offline again

I didn't realize how much I miss that darn cat untill now 😂😢

I missed the pink loading screen,the cat, and how the SSO community wasnt so tOXiC

What I loved about old SSO: - all my friends were on the same server as me (and logged frequently) - my best SSO friend - it was easier to find a good club

Damn i just miss the snow in Jorvik. And the cat loading scene was iconic! 😂🐱

I actually started crying. I went straight to my computer, logged on, got my starter horse, leveled him to 15, and just ran around 💗 It was the first time in 4 years 🥺 It felt amazing!

Is it just me or would it be amazing if on a April fools day they did a travel through memory lane where we log on with the old graphics, the cat and we would only be allow to mount our old model starter horse. With the old songs

*oh this was more sad than i thought it was gonna be*

Star Stable is still an amazing game and there are a lot of adult players. (We even have SSO FB groups). I'm 26 myself and I have been playing Star Stable since 2012 or something. Yes, life gets harder and you get your own bills to pay, but Star Stable should and could still be that save haven to relax.

I remember just starting in September 2015..I refused to do Jenna’s race abd tried to sneak out to go to the ocean by foot only to find out that I couldn’t swim. I remember buying lifetime in 2016 and getting my first horse, Darkshade, a thoroughbred. I remember learning how to jump at Steve’s. Niw everyone can jump. Even level 1 players. I remember the Snow in Jorvik. The Santa Claus in Jarlaheim. I remember winning my first championship at Jorvik stables. I remember buying my first shire. I remember buying my first friesian. My first time going into VHD. I remember saving my horse from the ship. I remember always going to the ways to Silverglade and Firgrive everyday to see if they unlocked. I remember being excided in school to come home, log in and get the daily clothing item from SSO’s 4th Birthday. I remember nit knowing what stats were and just being happy that I’ve got an extra stylish saddle, bridle, saddle pad, and so on. I remember being so stressed out that I didn’t have Star Coins to buy a pony and complete the Pony race. I remember not liking the appearance and name of my starter and trying to find out a way to change them. I remember the joy from when I was allowed to go to Fort Pinta.. I remember the first time going and racing with Reed Kesler in the Riding Hall, not Riding Arena. I remember hiw annoyed I was everytime I fell of the bridge while going to Fort Pinta. I remember my first Ferry ride to South Hoof. I remember the annoying ginger cat from the loading screen telling me something I’ve heard 10000 times already. I remember how fun it was to go to the disco at night and dancing. I remember how fun it was to do the craziest, and I mean craziest things with your clubmates...I miss the old community... I miss the old Star Stable.

They better just add the cat back in the game as a npc

The old music makes me cry ngl

"You don't miss the old Star Stable, You miss the old times". FINALLY someone who explains why maybe Star Stable Online was more fun back in the old days. I've been playing since the beginning of January 2012 and have gone through it all. But I don't miss the old Star Stable Online, the game is MUCH better now! I've just miss the excitement of just run to the computer after a day at school. Now, I don't have the time or I'm just to tired.. Star Stable Online is still a super fun game and I love to play it and I'm 22 years old now. And it will take a lot for me to stop playing Star Stable Online altogether. Love the video!

*This really made me cry...* *"As the game got better, your life got harder."* I really miss the old feeling of SSO.... Now I regret back in 2014-2015 when I quit for around 2 years... I remember the older memories... How Loretta was so rude.. Now, she doesn't seem the same.. I remember hanging out with friends.. They have sadly quit.. I miss the old feeling.. The game Star Stable was getting better.. Yes, I was happy for it.. I'm sure many people were.. But now looking at it.. There's to many areas being updated.. It loses the older vibe.. My life was getting harder and harder daily... Sometimes, I would log on SSO to be greeted by my friends.. They always kept me happy and all.. But now.. There gone.. Whenever I log on SSO it makes me nearly cry.. Seeing how bad the game has gotten.. The new starter horses that look WAY to much like the trake.. Your life may get harder... It will! But promise me, your family, friends, etc... *Hold On To Your Memories While You Still Can*

I actually wish they still had snow again 😑

For all 2015 players: *The ginger cat on the loading screen. 🐱😏* *Edit 1:* Oml guyss I didn’t expected that much likes?! I just miss the cat on the saddle 😂❤️ And I started playing in 2015🤭 *Edit 2 :* OMG yall... almost 2k likes , it seems like everyone wants the cat backk😂 *Edit 3:* 2k LIKES OMFG 🤯💜 *Edit: 4:* GAHHHHH SO MANY LIKES IM GONNA CH-

"..As the game got better Your life got harder." Jesus, this part really made me cry, I miss old Star Stable.

I miss everything about it. I've played for years, and I remember a lot from it. I'm only 16, and I literally just logged in. The game doesn't have the same vibe. I used to log and have people everywhere, now its almost dead it feels...

I really want them to have snow in jorvik! Edit: thank you so much for the likes! This is the most I've probably ever gotten! You all are amazing!

"We've grown up now" I'm crying :(

I can’t help but feel old, this game that was such a huge part of my childhood. Has anyone just opened up their friends list and started reminiscing about the names that popped up there?

I was 6 when i first played.I play sso now for 6 years and my parents never bought me anything and i survived with codes.And now when i founded my old account i had to buy one horse and im so happy...😭

Remember when you were a non starrider, cheating into the starrider area? I loved the music when you got into the Silverglade area..):

I first started playing SSO in late 2013 and I kinda missed the old SSO, but at least it is updated and my computer doen't crash every hour because of the graphics of the game

i miss the old feeling when you walk on the beach in fort pinta and everything!!!You are so good at thiis!

I miss the times when I just to spend every hour after school playing sso up until I had to go to bed, and when I had to stress eat my dinner bc I didn’t wanna miss the club event, and when I used to skype with friends I met through sso everyday, and when I got so excited bc a big “famous” club accepted me into the club, and when I used to post on my sso Instagram everyday telling everyone what I’d been up to that day. I simply miss the old startstable.

i dont miss old star stable, only the community and a few other things: - snow in jorvik: when they stopped my heart broke because it was always the most prettiest time of the year - old loading screen: the loading screen where you came out of the stable and go to the cat. honestly this was always so amazing

I actually miss the way characters and Soulriders' horses looked like. Not the poor graphic, just the artstyle because it was like in the comics and the old games like Starshine Legacy. Back when I started playing Star Stable I was so mesmerized by it that I did a research, read and watched everything I could find about Jorvik and now it just doesn't feel the same, which doesn't mean I don't appreciate the improvement, James looks like a human now and I think Lisa's new appearance fits her better, it's just not the same. Oh and by the way, I noticed a lot of people misses the loading screen with the ginger cat, but am I the only one who remembers that his name is Rufus?

I remember when if u saw a player in level 10 they would be like really good and everyone wearing those gold or pink disco clothes to be on the disco at fridays

Wow. This kinda made me emotional.

Omg I wish the snow would come back in Jorvik😭😭 also I liked the clubs better back then, it was all about having fun together. Now most clubs are just boring and are usually full of drama. (I played in early 2014).

*This is so true 😭 I've been playing SSO since I was 7 and now..its just boring..😭🤧* *Let's see who else misses those memories* #wemissyouoldsso

I really miss it. I just cant stay in a clan beacuse its not like the old sso, not the game, not the players. I really miss my old friends, how we was roleplaying day in and day out, and get to know each other. I just miss it.

I started playing sso when i was 11, now im 17. Thank you so much for this video, it means a lot to me. Im so happy that i played in the best sso times. This game will always have a small place in my heart.. miss my sso friends so much, clubs, meetings, bugs, old horses. But Im thankful for my dear friend who i met four years ago and still have very good friendship. Thank you sso for memories, childhood, mistakes, good times... this game teached me a lot:)

Wasn’t expecting this video to get that deep, but another great video. 😊

BRO JUST EVEN THINKING OF RU-vidRS WHO WERE AMAXING BUT QUIT LIKE "RadioaCtive3" or "Lillian Magpie" I was very young when I got sso, I didn't understand the concept of good names on a horse, I remember not knowing what updates were, so when the shire popped up I sort of just said "ooh that'pretty, I want it, and named it midnightbeam in the second grade and I KNOW that because I made a poem about her. I remember sometimes getting up on days where we had a snow delay and since I was on a pst server, being able to see the nighttime or early morning was a treat. There were bad experiances with people I shouldnt have trusted but all in all I think I wouldn't have been as understanding of conversations as I am today without those moments. I remember having to glitch to become a wild horse and I remember desperately asking where the Icelandics were even though I had not opened Epona. I REMEMBER the days 5000 starcoins were only 60 dollars instead of the 75 or something they are now. I miss it, but childhood is special for a reason. I remember when the headless horseman was put in the halliween update and you could find him galloping around in vale. I remember RadioaCtive making a video about that "player" who would steal your horses but you could always find her somewhere in vale. Everyone looked for her and even though it was simply a myth, those were the amazing days of childhood.

omg I actually cried its so damn true all this time I wasn't really missing the old game i was missing the old times the times where I was so exited to get out of school to play star stable with my online friends or when I was so exited to get the horse I really liked or when my parents bought star coins for me. My little sister really likes to play the game now too and its reminding me of the old times I really miss them and I wish I can just feel that feeling once more..but I can't

this is so true, i miss my old friends, i miss the times i was so extra into this game even though i wasn’t star rider, i remember the times when it was free only to level 4 and me and my friends ‘illegaly’ went to Silverglade Castle♥️ or the times when I finally made the key into Goldenhills🥺 when I was so happy that my mum bought me Star Rider ahhh😞♥️ now players there are mean to each other, a lot of things are explained...but I still love it♥️

I started in 2014..I thought the graphics was ok.. Everyone rode a starter model horse.😂 But we didn't care? Nope. I loved the creepy music when you did story quests.. And the pink loading screen.. And getting annoyed by the cat telling us the same over and over.😅 Then I took a break since I had done everything. Then I come back in 2016.. Wow. I got a shock!😂 SO MANY BEAUTYFUL HORSES!😍 And the quests got cooler. But now, we have seen everything.😶 Nothing impresses us anymore.🤷🏻‍♀️ Back in 2014, we all had lower expectations.🤨 Back old days it wasn't many online games where you could game with other people..😯 And it wasn't many games with great graphics..🙃 And not many people played then..😄 So you knew almost everyone on your server.💕 And now, it's a LOT of people playing, and therefor more drama.😓 Thats probably why many of us miss old sso.. 😫 I like the new graphics, but the old memories died with the old graphics. (Might sound very dramatic😂) I like the new horses, but I can't forget how much we loved the old model horses when they first arrived. The new horses isn't the same.. But personally I like the old animations for our character better..😂 Not the old, old one. The 2016 animations.. Idk.. Now they have very clumsy run. And diva walk.😂🤷🏻‍♀️ Buuut we were giraffes in 2016 lol.👌🏻 Remember how we couldn't wait for saving Anne?🤔 But if you ask me, I think it was more fun to look forward to rescue her than to actually do it.🤨🤷🏻‍♀️ And Epona.. Ofc.. Remember how much we all wanted Epona to arrive..😂 Well, how often are you actually in Epona now?🤔 Now we have seen everything..we are no longer looking forward to anything.. Mist Fall wasn't the same as Epona.. The new andalusians aren't the same as how happy we was with the old ones.

Does anyone remembers the international server? Omg I've met so many people from other countries, and now i don't even know if they are still alive it feels so weird :/ (sorry if my english is bad im Hungarian)

Aw man I still remember the time when u only had the starters and couldn't buy other horses.

That was so heartfelt; like a kick in the gut. It's heart wrenching to realize that it'll never be the same because I'll never be 8 again. 7 years of playing Star Stable and while I still log on every once in a while, maybe join a club during school breaks but then be kicked out because I'm not active enough due to homework and school activities, it's not the same. I cherish the memories I have of those easy times. When I wasn't in trouble for "wasting" my life away on the computer just for social life. I miss the friends I made so many years ago who no longer play the game, and think it's "childish". This is one of the only ways I have friends when schools out for summer or holidays. It's just me and my parents in the house now, and my friends from school spend time with their family. But I connect so much more with people who can only judge me based off of my personality and level or whatever in the game. The old times are gone, but my memories will always be with me (unless I get Alzheimer and forget literally everything about my life) and I'll enjoy them whenever I remember that day I met Taryn or the day I found that I could run and jump at a certain point on a bridge and go flying across the fly. Those were the days life was simple and no one can ever take the happiness I had at those moments away. Thank you Star Stable for all those wonderful times that I had and maybe are still to come.

People are quick to say that sso sucks, but they'll be the first to cry when its gone.

I haven't played so long, I started playing around 2016. But some things still have changed :] And I just miss one old thing. The old Loretta, I just hate how nice she is now lol

“Were too busy” Me: this is why there is a quarantine

This is really sad! I didn’t realize how much I miss and love the old version of sso. I honestly love the new version and all, but the old one is just nostalgic tbh🥺

I miss the old sso.. They release too many horses so a new horse isn’t something cool anymore something you see on most every day And I try my best to enjoy it. I remember 6 years ago.. im not complaining, much parts are better! I only stated these parts.

Why did this legit nearly make me cry?

I miss just being excited to play the game. playing sso every night after school. I miss the old login screen and the old pink loading screen. And I miss my old horses because now it’s not cool to ride the older versions. 😭

I missed old SSO. And the old starter models and the character animations :( I miss the old cat. I miss the loading screen. I played when I was 6-7 maybe?

I remember 6 year old me ready to try and marry Justin and bully Loretta. Ah, the good times

nobody: literally nobody: people who started playing in 2017: "omg yes old sso had amazing graphics so gorgeous!!"

"And getting mad at Loretta because she was so DAMN MEAN!" Honestly, same. When I first started playing SSO back in 2013, I always roled by myself with Loretta, and pretended that she was the stable bully. xD

Y’all remember when it used to log y’all out Tuesday night so they could update the game? 😭

even though this video is very true, in my personal opinion i still prefer old star stable, it wasn’t about being the best racer, having the most horses, club beef etc. but I’m still here, 7 years later😊 it’s still a great game and old sso will always be in my heart btw, I like cupcakes

The nostalgia the old music gives me, makes me feel so comfortable.. This is an amazing video! ✨💕 I think I should make a nostalgia ASMR Sso Video.. 💭

I miss the wholesome tone of sso, I miss the feeling of being excited to log on, I miss all the old exciting stuff, playing sso with friends and having the time of my life with people who I used to call my best friends

Omg the browser it’s been so long I only remembered the stable doors

I still remember that pink loading screen with that cat, i guess i was 5 or 6. Edit : I miss the old cat. But the new screen is nice, but i miss the old cat. Edit: thanks for the 7 likes 😊

i miss the "old" sso just because it looks like plastic now. it's pretty.. pretty not the same :(

The first time I really felt pain in my chest and started crying wtf

When you said you grown up, it tore my heart. I’m very happy they left the old horses still. I just got 2 of them and instantly teared up. I remember when Epona got released, hacking into epona when you didn’t unlock it and looking at the exciting pink loading page with the horse and the rider in the corner. One thing to remember is, StarStable is always the same, it may not look like it, but it is in the core. Some old characters and horses are still there. StarStable can’t go back to old graphics but, it’s a game that we will remember being ugly and beautiful all at once.

I loved those stable Doors That you had to Click on to start the Game xD it was an alot more creative way to get into the World of jorvik than the One we have now

i've been playing for about 6 and a bit years now, and boy would it make me cry if even for a day the old graphics were back, and i saw my old friends and club again. ever since 2017, i've completely lost track of which horses have been released when, as i remember the icelandics and thouroughbreds being released and the hype around them, and now it's just gone. i do love the game now though, and i hope the newer players make the most of now so they have amazing memories to look back on like us older players do.

I remember when i was 6 omg i was soooo happy i Just looked on RU-vid and the morning i asked my mom to download Star stable, that music the birds i really miss it i hope Star stable Will mąkę 1 Day Old Star stable i wish i had the Day recorded Star stable was full friends and nów...... Sorry if u not agree but.... For me is Star stable..... Getting 'unpopular'..... I wish i could change the Time... Thank u for ur Reading luf u Zowi 🦄❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🦄

Snow, Thompson in the Forest AND OLD MAP 😭

"probably worried about that test next week" me: **currently worried about exams next week but still choosing to procrastinate studying**

im glad you're addressing the real reason behind this. i'm a little tired of seeing so many comments under sso's instagram posts or sso videos about how they hate the new updates. there's no reason to be negative towards the team just because of nostalgia.

i remember the game froze up when i first started and i cried and my dad found me crying about it and showed me the power of control+alt+delete

Omg I remember when I woke up one morning, logged on and I saw the home stable was completely different. Lol

So touching. I started playing SSO in 2016. And it‘s still my ‚happy place‘. When I have a day off, I play SSO to escape work and life - kind of, I guess. Still LOVE those pixels. ❤️ Love you, Abi. 💕

lol "because she so damn mean" that is me all the way xD

Me, a 20-year-old returning to my 5 year old acc purchasing lifetime SR and happily killing there most of the days of quarantine: What

Star Stable was a way to connect with a friend of mine who lived five states away (US). We grew up together through our early teens playing it, we fell out of touch in eighth grade, we talked for the first time in so long just a few weeks ago - and how did we do that? Through SSO mail. It has always been our game. We’ve spent so long on it together, hacking into areas, deleting pants files to be wild horses, having our own little role plays away from the other players. We even did a role play where Elizabeth was our mother figure; our guardian. Now Elizabeth is gone, we don’t talk that much anymore, we’re each dealing with our own friendships and families hundreds of miles away from each other. But once every so often we both log on to the world we’ve known for over seven years, and we get to forget reality just as we did then... It’s not the old graphics or animations that tie us to this game - it’s the nostalgia for our childhoods.

I remember the snow in Jorvik. I was so excited and every year I would search up 'is there going to be snow in sso again?'. I know they probably won't put snow in again so I gave up. I really miss it. I just wish they made some sought of server that you could switch onto and there would be the old star stable. Imagine that. I would love that. Everyone would. Everyone would get the experience of it, and maybe the horses might look a little...rusty back then, but the game was good. Everything was good. So please star stable, I would love a server that you could visit and there would be the old sso.

1. This video made me kinda cry. 2. I do miss old sso but i love the new one. Im playong it since i was 4 and im 10 now. sorry bout the ages my sis just changed the years and wrote comment im actually turning 11 next month

I wouldn't be a real Pole if I didn't write it in the commentary "This cat speaks Polish"😂❤

aw i'm back here in 2021, i miss those times so much. You totally hit it explaining how we feel, i couldn't have said it better myself. We all feel like that, every single 'old' sso player, and i think they'd be lying if they said they weren't. With this whole corona going on, it's making me miss those times, the times i'd log on before school only for about 5 minutes because i'd get shouted at or i'd be running late, the time i had an 'older sister', pretending we'd live together, the basic roleplay. It makes me wonder how all of my old sso friends are now and what they're doing? I loved it so much

"We've grown up now." mmmmmmm hard facts

This is true... i like cupcakes edit: why'd I start crying.. omg

Im really sad bc I started playing just when they started to do all the major changes, I'm definitely not an og but I remember the old coloured dots on the mini map and the old textures and some of the old horse models. Im lucky as due to circumstances y life has been somewhat odd and I still have the opportunity to play for long periods but still feel sad as I stated playing when I was teen anyway (it's a good method of escaping from reality for me) anyways that's my ramble over... You've made me feel really sad now 😥

This video had triggered so many emotions for me. I started when the game first came out and I remember that feeling I had when I logged into SSO for the first time. I have forgotten those feelings and I honestly miss them. When you said "We just grew up", I teared up. I love Star Stable, but it isn't like it used to be. I miss the old graphics, quests, horses, and everything else about it. I miss the feeling of making friends on the game and finding out they were real people. Many people I have met on SSO had started playing 1 or 2 years ago. When they find out that I have played this game for so long, they call me old and bother me about the old times. I miss the kind community the most. I didn't have to deal with snot-nosed brats as I do now. We old SSO players have grown up and are dealing with the stress of reality. All the stress, pressure, and anxiety are weighing us down now and we have no time for video games. So, if you are a new player to Star Stable, remember those amazing feelings and emotions you experienced while playing because before you know it, life passes you by and you will forget everything.
