I started playing this virtual world a while back, and needless to say it was quite the experience interacting with new people and earning virtual currency to obtain cool and rare items, but there is a few downsides to this New Zealand based game.
-Non VIP's get bullied and abused regularly: VIP members often bully non VIP members because of the reason that they're not VIP, alot of the time they think they are better and gives them the right to bully lower 'citizen level' players.
-Moderators are untrained and unhelpful: Got hacked? Got scammed? Need help from a member of the Smallworlds team? Well you're out of luck i'm afraid. Moderators and rude, unhelpful and disrespectful, they ban when they feel like it and steal and lie to regular players. They don't do their jobs and it's quite frankly disgusting.
-Exploits and glitches: Even currently there is a gold exploit crisis going on... Smallworlds security is near enough non existent which makes me worried for people paying thousands on this game and getting hacked due to Smallworlds poor security. There are many glitches and fake gold and items going around.

Now that's some of the negatives gone, what about the positives?
-Sense of accomplishment: Nothings better than getting your dream item on Smallworlds, hours upon hours of grinding to get the right amount of currency for the item all paying off, the 2008 Snowfox, 8,500,000 gold, only 270 in the game. Imagine buying one of those?
-Interacting with other players: We all make loads of friends on the internet, what better place to do it than on Smallworlds? With most of the community being friendly and helpful, there's endless amounts of people to meet and to play with!
-Hours of fun!: Believe it or not, i've been on Smallworlds for just over 4 YEARS and haven't got bored until now, I had fun earning gold and making friends and ultimately my end goal for Smallworlds: The bare bones suit! I had a blast playing Smallworlds and I recommend it for loads of younger people wanting a game where you can customize, play and create!
