Hey Fantagians,
Around 2008 and 2009 there were things called armies. There were armies that would get together for wars, events and parties. The wars usually just involved a lot of shouting, but I think the winner was generally just decided by who’s army had more people on the day. Sadly, armies didn’t last very long, but it seemed cool while I was there. Continue reading “Fantage Throwback: Fantage Armies”
Hey Fantagians,
Back in the “Good ol’ days”, there were Fantage blogs run by people who everyone knew. Inevitably those people left, their blogs died out and were replaced by more substandard blogs. An interesting fact about them is that they were run almost exclusively by guys, guys running a Fantage blog is pretty rare these days, but back them, the tables were turned. Additionally, it’s not popular these days, but many blogs didn’t use .wordpress.com, but instead of buying a domain, they would use a free one. These free domains included .tk and .co.nr
Today I’ll showcase a few of the best blogs so you can see what the vintage online Fantage community was really like. Continue reading “Fantage Throwback: Vintage Blogs”
When Fantage first began the comet in April 2008 it was a monthly paper, rather than weekly as it is now. Similarly to the Fantage Blog, the Comet was presented as written by “Himani” to begin with, but changed to “M” at a similar time to the blog.
Each issue of the Comet had cool things that many people have forgotten about. In the Comet you can get Official Fantage themed Wallpaper, Note taking sheets, Cards, Colouring Sheets etc. I think the artistic community of Fantage will really love this stuff.
After a bit of digging around, I found 9 Archived issues of the Monthly Comet from 2008.

Some of you may not realise Fantage has had 3 different types of IDFone through time.
The first was the ID Card. It featured your username and avatar on the front, as well as your stars, level and whether you’re a premium member. On the back it featured your medals.
Gosh, I really miss Fantage 2010/2011. I was such a newb! I used to walk around just trying to make friends, any friends. I played adoption center, Val tryouts (anyone remember those?) school and various other role playing activities. Eventually, I made friends and we would hang out together downtown or at the Fashion Show place. I recall seeing other members walking by with items that I could never have and although I secretly wished I could. There was certain level of respect and awe.
Back in the early days of the Fantage Blog, M would post fun little comics. I really liked the style of these. Here’s the collection of all of them up until March 2009.
This week the Fantage Freaks Youtube Channel, run primarily by Dina. These videos were made in early 2008. A simpler time on Fantage no doubt.

Here, where we’re always reminiscing about “the good ol’ days”, every day is [Throw back] Thursday.
So for our first throwback. I’d like to take you back to November 2009, and the opening of Comet & Co.
