... Why cant we get a Sims 2 online -.-

EAXIS is the proper name.

Well, when the game died, they said they'd never do it again...then a few months latter they were acting like it hadn't even existed. There's an infamous interview out there somewhere where the CEO is all excited about maybe someday having an online option in sims 2 or 3, as mmorg's are new and exciting, and having The Sims, online, is something no one's thought of before. That really ticked off the community lol Thanks for watching, and who knows, maybe someday it'll be back...

I have no idea what TSO was but I have heard of Second Life. You've made a wonderful tribute to a world I will never know. I think I am familiar with the music. Something by the same guy who did the music for a video, The Pines, about an abandoned resort called cryptic sorrow. I'm favoriting this so please leave it up.

[BillyBughead]

Well thank you! TSO was The Sims Online...an online version of The Sims. There are a couple of shots of Second Life in my video (such as 9:52), and that's where a lot of sims relocated to -- both in my video, and in real life.

Thanks for watching! :-)

[BillyBughead]

thanks, I liked your video, too. Every time I watch something like that, I say to myself, "Self, it's been a while since we've played TSO. Such fun times. Why don't we click on the TSO icon and...um...oh yeah..." *sigh*
