The downfall of Roblox's Meep City...

It’s legitimately tragic, such a shame what happened to this game. If roblox taught me one thing, it’s that everything will eventually go down the gutter.

Man, I remember how innocent and fun Meepcity was when I was younger. It was the first game my siblings and I played when we joined Roblox, and it’s sad to see it didn’t age well.

The fact that thousands of people quit playing Meepcity after the party's option got removed really shows the age demographic

I really loved the genre of parties in Meepcity that was just video game/cartoon cosplay parties where you could easily meet up with other people who like the things you like and just hang out and roleplay together. It sucked when they removed the party genres so you couldn’t separate the gaming parties from all the gross ones, and then they just removed parties entirely. I miss being able to easily find other cosplayers for things I like. But it was probably for the best with how out of hand it was getting.

Meep City was the absolute best during 2016-2017. No weird parties or anything like that. I remember spending hours playing mini games for coins to decorate my house. I wish I could re-live it.

I played meepcity in its prime - 2016. It was my favourite game when I was a kid, putting the old accessories on the little round things and naming them stupid things. I used to love going fishing and meeting new people to play with. Some of the parties in the past were genuinely innocent, a SpongeBob party I went to a few years ago was hilarious; but I found a room with beds next to each other and people saying extremely questionable stuff in them. Sucks to see what stuff happened to this game.

i grew up playing meepcity as it was one of the only popular games around at the time. it's seriously insane to see how much it's changed, and if the creator had better moderation over the game that would be amazing and would give him way more players i miss when the game was wholesome and fun :( it's sad to see a game like this die out

6:28 their names are marycrush00 and dragoxtx

I love how no matter what, Albert tries so hard to not let his past exist in any way.

I used to play meep city when around 2017-2018 during the time when "slenders" are quite rare. It feels very disappointing to see people abusing the system during late 2020-2022. It was an amazing game which brought plenty of happy memories. I used to spend all day long just on this game, grinding coins or hanging out with different players. I wish this game can be something like brookhaven in order to get more players + having less "slenders". Rip legend, meep city

I actually really miss the parties. Obviously not for the gross stuff, but mainly because of one’s Ive found with cool people, me and my friends trolling others. We would troll people by dressing up our avatars weirdly (not anything inappropriate, just really weird) and annoying people (the bad people) and I always loved how entertaining it was for me. I’ve always actually liked Meep City since the early stages of it, because I would roleplay with people. Like pretend to be someone’s parent, and they are my kid or baby. I used to like pretending to adopt babies and kids, and I always had a bunch of beds in one room, while another room is mine. It brings me so much nostalgia thinking about it. But now it’s ruined

1:22 , my grandma looked over my head and saw the jump scare and said a soft “ah”.

It's really sad to see such a great game die out, I loved MeepCity, but every time I join it it feels like I'm playing with bots or soemthing, everybody just stands around, or there is just argueing. In 2016 or 2017 when I first played it, people wanted to roleplay and have fun. I feel like the game got overdevoleped in a way too, I miss the classic Meepcity. :/

As a person who used to play MeepCity, I find this very sad how one of the first games I played on Roblox is coming to an end.

3:33 didn’t censor it enough 💀

Im going to be honest i used to play this A LOT basically every day with my friends and most of them i actually met through a meepcity party server this was years ago. The good memories with this game honestly happened in 2020 all the way back to when it was created i stopped playing towards the end of 2021 and all throughout 2022 and just a couple months ago i joined the game after SO long. I saw my friends (ones i made on meepcity not on the actual website) and they also stopped playing for ages i actually hardly remembered them those who i did remember i started thinking of the memories with them, all the roleplays we did and it made me a bit sad to see that they dont come on anymore and if they did they probably wouldnt remember me. People honestly ruined meepcity thats one of the reasons why i stopped playing the other reason was they took away the only thing that really made meepcity popular, u could find so many friends from parties but people just used it in the worst way to the point where it was forced to be removed. I dont even want to play it anymore its not fun to me. This is really sad.

it's seriously impressive on how meepcity still averages about 20,000-30,000 players daily considering all of the incidents that have happened; the game has gotten hacked twice, a player hacked guns into the game and shot everyone when the party feature was still around, roblox has banned the game, parties got removed and the massive amount of oders in general.

Who remembers when meep city was just a regular game you would play with your cousins and friends and just overall have fun and now its just another OD cesspool ☹️

i used to love meepcity, and its kinda sad that its going away, but its also smthing to rejoice abt. my friend once got verbally abused on meepcity and it left her in tears😭😭

I think the main person people left and stopped playing was because they removed the parties, some people genuinely enjoyed them and used to do character or oc role-plays or family role-plays and some of them just used them to bypass rules

It had so much potential and it was genuinely a fun game for a long time, I remember getting into fights with randoms over stupid stuff for no reason, i rlly wish the game didn’t die out like this

I use to play meepcity a lot and I had this one fond memory. I was in the pizza shop with my wife, don't ask, and we saw a disabled man in there and my wife got super worried. I was wondering why and she finally told me she was dating him. I staggered out of the pizza place and left the game. I was crying about it all day.

Was I the only one who went to the FNAF parties in Halloween

I grew up with meep city..its really sad to see what people did with the game 😕 I really hope people stop at one point but tbh it never will..i remember earning coins by the mini games and decorating my house with every coin I had 😞 good times

Dang, this game has been around for so long, been a lot of people’s favorite game on Roblox, it’s really a shame to see it dying.

It's sad to see that one of the most popular games would just start to meet its end tragically. It's a shame that kid's also play Meepcity and to see such things, influencing them to do the same in a way.

oh my god i remember joining parties and seeing all the online daters😭😭the outfits were horrendous

the memories i had in meepcity are insane. i remember going on it everyday from 2019-2021 and playing with a friend group that's long gone by now. from my experience, the meepcity parties weren't that bad. there was definitely VERY questionable things in lots of parties i joined, but the few fnaf parties i would play in were nice

6:06 One thing I admire about Roblox is that, there's always a chance to stumble upon just random lore between people.

What is REALLY funny to me,is how Slenders,C&P,Online daters,etc. literally played inappropriate music and made inappropriate houses and then complain why parties got removed.

I remember how I met some of my online best friends on there thought FNaF parties we would role-play as security guards surviving the nights. So much fun. Now in the present day we can’t do anything without being judged on there or inappropriate names and stuff, bypassed shirts and everything. Whenever we play meep we immediately go to one of each others backyards and I had people teleporting to me and when I asked them to leave they would just invite their friends over and not let me do anything:( it’s insane how much this game change and be infested with ODers.

This describes how I've always felt about meepcity music. This music is deeper than the fnaf lore I'm stunned by this fact too. This is positively the most beautiful this I've ever heard. Not even mentioning the memories, this makes me feel like an infant again, just laying my eyes on this beautiful masterpiece gives me all the good feelings in life. I also understand what happiness is again from this. Not even to mention the most incredible part that is 2:10. The meep singing this has changed my life for the better. It connects with the characters within the viewers, individuals suppressed within our own subconscious. It stays vibrant, fresh, and revolutionizes the art of storytelling and filmmaking while making a damn of statement on what it means to be human. Entertaining, gripping, and simply exhilarating. This might be the most impactful piece of art I’ve come across in my life, and I’m definitely coming back to it in the near future to study it more deeply. this is an absolute masterpiece, I was brought to tears listening to this and seeing the song go loop in my head countless times. it absolutely moved my soul, and I don't think I can ever be the same. this bacon has changed my entire mental state, I am now at peace with who I am and what I will be doing later in my life. So much great graphic design, so much suspense, so much greatness in this one video. I have forgiven all my enemies and now I am a man of a pacifist life. I will move on, got to move on, as the song says. the bacon is so inspirational, it shares it vast wisdom with all of us, and we are all so lucky that it would bestow its great words with us. we are all children on the meep. hail meep. hail meep. The meep. still, yet rotating in one direction with this music... This made me tear up. How could such a meep do such a thing? I'm struck by awe by this masterpiece. Especially when the meep standing showing its lightly glazed covered skin. I can hear the crunch just from here, and so as the beautiful sound of the song scraping the dark, smooth velvet record player. Don't get me started with the nighttime song too, tis a lullaby for the children of the lord himself if he is watching over us, he has truly bestowed a gift. some may say this music is a copy of Beethoven or Lenardo DaVinci as this is ART! I would pay (excuse my rude language-) FAT STACKS to own this as if an NFT. I might be gaga eyed and eared for this, but could you blame me? tis- tis... TIS ART! I'm sobbing in awe by this music and the meep in the cover, THE SCREEN! Thank you so much for creating this absolute masterpiece. This is essentially the most important masterpiece of film history. It is a tragedy that this, it can’t be called a film, but a transcendent emotional experience, will be inaccessible for most. The meep is so inspirational, it shares it vast wisdom with all of us, and we are all so lucky that it would bestow its great words with us, a thing most could only dream. This is one of the greatest works from a piece of blob called a meep I have ever seen especially on 57:42. I am crying. This has made me go through an emotional rollercoaster. I'm worried this is a dream, and I'm not really witnessing this absolute ART tis a scare to have lost your way in life, but this it re-guided me to make my way on the path to sanity and happiness and I don't know what else to say besides please o' great meep let me always feel your ray of sun as if you were the Tellytubby sun baby. The creator of meepcity changed this music and yes, I'm truly disappointed and will never know why. This song is jazzy yet incomprehensible (as in misunderstood to the unknowing and unbelieving eye). I am crying. This has made me go through an emotional rollercoaster. I cried, beat off, and also watched a movie while watching this premiere. This has made me go through so much. I passed depression because of this. It really inspired me to become an outstanding young woman. Thank you

6:42 Mary got that villain arc 💀

I remember when Meepcity was an actually good roleplaying game without ODers, and people were acutally kind and wholesome.

Back in 2017-2019, I played all the time. I had a great house and would always adopt kids or be a kid. Now when I try and roleplay there, everyone is just designing an outfit and not a single person wants to role-play. They just walk around, like they're not real people. Kind of scares me and makes me sad :(

its sad watching something die out in front of you. You can just see it get less and less stable until it finally gives out. I would not wish for this slow and painful death on my deepest of enemies.

Just a reminder that this was (I think) the first game to hit a billion visits. Used to love it, it's sad to see where it's gone.

I used to join anime parties awhile back and honestly they were a lot of fun. I enjoyed dressing up my character and roleplaying with other fans. It's a shame it came to be like this the game had a lot of potential the developers just didn't care enough. Still salty about purchasing premium just for all of my friends to go offline and all the fun parties turn into *this*.

albert ur making me cry bro this video isn’t sad but i remember watching ur meep city video in my last year of elementary school and now i’m basically in my last year of high school. in tears.

dude your content is so amazing, keep it up please

As someone who use to play meepcity, this is very sad. i loved playing this game but it’s sad to see it fall. RIP meepcity.

6:55 new roblox myth fr 💀💀

The fact that this was the first roblox game i ever played when i started playing roblox in 2017, and seeing it go down the hill like this really hurts

Meepcity was a large part of my childhood when I was 9-12 years old and I will forever be sad about the path it has gone down… I used to play everyday and save up and had a meep named lulu. I lived there with my friends and constantly went down to the ice cream shop to sit and chat with them.

6:50 why did Albert turn this part of the video into some kind of weird creepypasta lol

This game was one of the best considering I joined in 2018. I remember I would always use to cosplay as some random video game or cartoonish character and I would just go to the meep city parties and just have a good time. Always use to play for hours to grind coins to make my own party. This game is just so hollow and soulless now. It’s like watching a close relative or a dog die slowly and painfully knowing that it can never recover from what it’s been through. People still wont take the steps to recover or take care of something it loves. Rest in peace meep city..

I love the fall out reference at 2:21

This is genuinely sad. This was first game I played my first day on Roblox. I was 7 years old. I hadn’t even made an account yet, I was playing as a guest. It’s so heartbreaking to see a piece of my childhood ripped apart piece by piece.

I first played meepcity in 2019, I was one of the many people who created parties, yet my parties were detailed and based off of a fandom I was into at the time, whether that be fnaf, undertale or dreamcore based I was extremely passionate about building and showing off my builds by making parties, and I was fairly well known getting 6000 likes, it hurt when parties went as so many people who spent so much time building the houses and showing them off in the form of parties would all go to waste. I know that it was for the greater good as the community overall was toxic and disgusting, but it still hurt to see it go.

6:34 this is literally a whole lore:0!! Keep us updated 😭😭

i agree, all of this is really tragic. but where else would the oders be without meepcity? i would rather stuff those types of people cornered into a singular game than scattering them across every game

i genuinely miss playing and meeting fun people with the same interests as me in FNF parties , cookie run parties , madness combat parties and other cosplaying parties :/ sadly they removed it :(

Meepcity use to be a fun family role-play, it's extremely sad that it's dying out. It used to be a fun game to socialize and have fun, a lot of people would have fun there and dress up. I don't care if the fashion there was bad, we actually had fun there but now its just dying because of the players deciding to make it inappropriate. It's really sad because it was a childhood to me, a fun one.

I do miss the parties, mostly the game themed ones, like FNAF, Undertale, etc. I made such good friends, shame it went down :(

growing up in meep city with the best of friends. and i lost them. we all separated and went to different parts in other games, the few who remain just won't be the same.

I wish we can go back in the days of 2016-2017. Meepcity had a better community back then 😢

Honestly, I wish they found a way to have the party watched over and only get deleted if the party was inappropriate. I miss the parties that weren’t really bad. I remember doing all kinds of roleplays for hours.

6:18 Does anyone agree it sounds pretty much like a myth?..

something that really annoyed me is that every time i wanted to friend someone, it would go through with meepcity's own special friend request button, and for some reason, it never got through and it wouldn't let me friend them outside of meepcity. that has happened on so many occasions.

I love your videos new sub

I remember this game so well. I used to try and save up my money for all the new houses because I thought it looked cool. Being invited to a party and customizing. your own house. Everyone actually was nice and pretty chill.

6:45 6 year olds after watching Wednesday

Gotta admit, the Roblox communtiy is spoiled asf. Getting a chance to have a private party to chill with your friends just turned into something disgusting.

it’s sad to see that this game basically has an illness that’s bound to kill it, cus no matter how much i (and all of us) want it to get better and be good again, that’s still never going to happen

It isn't entirely developers faults that games like roblox and more are kinda going downhill, it's just genuinely the people who stupidly make dumb actions, or atleast *"sometimes that's the case."*

7:19 Albert is a walking W

It's kind of sad to see what happened with Meepcity, I used to RP Undertale and FNAF when I was younger and in the early times of the game

I’m glad 0:57 i’m soo glad I stopped becoming interested in meep city at that time and didn’t even realise this was happening thank u mm2

i remember how bad the parties were, they fixed the problem a bit by removing the ability to add titles to them but before that i remember how disgusting some people were. Im glad they finally got rid of them. The thing that annoys me the most is when they fiinally got rid of them everyone acted like it was for no reason when in reality they were the reason why they got banned. This game however will forever be iconic along with other bangers like roblox high school and hotel elephant

5:47 WHAT IS THIS LOL IT MADE ME ALUGH SO MUCH

I grew up unaware of the fact that meepcity feels like a weird fever dream with questionable things hidden in it’s parties and weird roleplays

When I parties were still around in Meepcity, I would set up a party to LOOK like something "bad" but ACTUALLY decorate it with the most disturbing thing I could come up with- Red and black walls and floors, ear-piercing static and screams, jail cells, random plushies scattered about, etc. And as soon as someone joined my friends and I would circle around the player and chant "Join us in the light room" Basically what the "Light room" was, was this one room in the back of the house FILLED with lamps, to the point it's literally blinding and you can't even see your own avatar unless it was fully black. It was fun to see people immediately leave. But now the parties are over I just dress up in ugly outfits and harass people by stealing their pizza or I crash people's roleplays. They hate it and it starts arguments, it's fun when you're bored.

As someone who actually played Meep City, I was completely unaware of this incident back when I played. I never actually saw anything, besides maybe a few profile pictures, but briefly. I only joined the Gaming parties and that was the good side of the community.

As the first game I played as a roblox player, I really feel sad how its coming to an end. Me and my friends always played this game and the best part was the the pizzeria where we had to make and deliver pizzas. It taught us how money works.

I actually used to thrive in Meepcity when I was younger wearing some cringe costume most the time, but it was nice, sometime around 20 19-20 I stopped playing to widen my collection of games to play, and a good chunk of what I found continues to be some of the best games I play. Then I revisited the game in 2021. And it was dark, the joy and wholesomeness that used to be the entire game had become sour and it was quite similar to what this video was. I then joined back in late March 2022 and My friend who would always be in parties was sitting in the main lobby, the second I walked over they told me parties had been removed a while back and my friend started playing Meepcity less and less, telling me the game “ wasn’t the same” and “lost its touch” and I feel bad, I’ve always played games that only have a small following but Meepcity was always a game that felt lively only because it used to always have like 60k people seeing it fall so far upsets me even today near a year after the incident in 2022. And it disappeared from my “ continue playing” bar and eventually disappeared completely. A different Friend I have visited Meepcity to see if parties ever returned and they said they might stop checking because it saddens them, they used to host parties 24/7 and they told me their huge house now felt empty and dull. That’s all I wanted to say. I dont care if nobody read this. Knowing I admitted my disappointment in this game helped me cope with its shrinkage in popularity and its now empty and dull gameplay, It has truly lost it all.

I used to love meepcity sm but bc of so many people, wether I interrupt them oding or arguing, it’s all the same. No server changes.

5:03 "do you exist??" "what are you doing??"😭😭

6:11 14 year olds when they go through a breakup

Honestly this is just sad. I use to play this game a lot back in 2017 it’s sad to see its down fall. Alex should have taken down the party feature way earlier as soon as he found out about how people are doing inappropriate things using the party feature then maybe this wouldn’t have happened.

Whenever I play meepcity it feels like wherever you go everyone would judge you based on your appearance it’s also pretty hard tryna make friends in meepcity because it’s js gonna get awkward and that friendship would only last a minute

5:31 Editor got fired

6:00 good god please tell me that these people are normal irl

I love that, no matter what, Flamingo does hold developers and studios accountable for their mishaps in the past while not making it the whole crutch of the conversation

a few days ago me and my 7yo sister was playing meepcity in the school, I remember seeing something so inappropriate I told my sister that we have to leave to school asap. It’s so upsetting that the game I grew up with has just been destroyed by toxicity and inappropriate stuff.

I remember in this game I used to host detailed SCP roleplays, Where essentially I had entire communities and returning party goers as well as admins. Unfortunately due to the party problems we were rarely chosen and eventually this happened and for some months I mourned the loss of a lot of hard work, Trust me there were some impressive builds.

i remeber meep city being one of the first games i had played during 2017-2018 i remeber how fun it was since there was no inappropriate things going on just roleplays, playing mini games for coins, decorating my house, and waiting for updates, somthing i wish i could relive its sad to see one of the first games i had played is slowly dying

This used to be the game I always played back from 2017-2021 :( i hate how meepcity turned out. I used to throw parties in that one castle house with pizza and slides and ball pits and popcorn and dance floors, and I wish it stayed that way, an innocent roleplay game.

i met my best friend in a meepcity party in 2018. we arent as close anymore but we still talk everyday. makes me sad

God, I remember this was my first Roblox game I ever played. Hate to see it going down in the quality scale, but we all knew it was inevitable.

Fun fact! The intro audio used was actually originally made to describe Chernobyl and the nearby city of Pripyat

6:43 this reminds me of the time of the myths. We all miss those golden days.

The game is really nostalgic for me, and I played it again yesterday. It’s as good as I remember! There aren’t more than 4 slenders in each server I enter

5:18 he was trying to do that thing he did in his Roblox quiz vid lol

NEW ROBLOX MYTH 7:07

This is a little late, but I remember when I'd join meep city, and I'd see tons of nice looking avatars tending to their home, meeps, and just roleplaying. Ever since Oders, Slenders, and Copy and Pastes were created, Meepcity has was destined to fall, I knew that it would be dead soon, but it genuinly hurts me knowing that my childhood is being destroyed.

Those parties were my whole childhood. My sister and I made lots of memories while being on them. I do get why they did remove the parties but it was a huge chunk of my childhood that was taken.

I've played Meepcity in it's prime, from 2016 to 2018. Everything went downhill from that point. Meepcity was the first "experience" i played on Roblox, and i have alot of good memories from it. It's such a shame Alexnewtron prefers to not hire moderators, but rather prefers to watch blue Yoshi gore. Such a shame.

Maybe he could have added a reporting/votekick system where you can report parties and with enough votes, it would delete the party, and make the player unable to create another party in that server. And with the votekicking, you could votekick players.

This is really sad. I never played MeepCity that much but I remember some of the memories. Including a cringy screenshot of my old roblox avatar in that game

Basically Meep city has went through a catastrophic war that has changed it forever for the worse. Before, everyone was happily playing the game, role playing, colour everywhere, the pretty night giving a home feeling, wholesome vibes. Now it’s just a wasteland of people that act like bots, little kids swearing in the chat, many inappropriate comments, arguments around every corner… who will liberate Meep city from all the chaos?… who will bring Meep city back to its former glory?
