Wonderland "Old Timers" - Drop in and say Hi!

[epicdude15]

Oh goodness, it's been a hot minute. Still remember coming here when I was a kid, asking the silliest questions haha. Good times. Really appreciated a game like this in my early childhood, glad the forum still exists!

Oh hi Epicdude, welcome back

[Teb020]

looks like it's that time again where wonderland pops back into my head & i come crawling back to secret worlds. hello, everyone!!! kind of crazy to think that my account is almost 10 years old now- a bit of a shame that most of my time spent here has always just been as a lurker, haha. (or perhaps for the best since i was a bit young when joining... the few posts & levels i have made hurt my soul)

wonderland holds such a special place in my heart & even if this place isn't as active as it once was, it makes me so happy that there's still any activity. to anyone still here & reading this- you all rock!

i've made it farther than ever before in my current playthrough of secret worlds... maybe i'll finally beat it & then get that secret ending if creativity strikes i'd love to create a series of enjoyable levels to give back for all the years of enjoyment i've gotten out of wonderland! perhaps under a different username if that's possible since i've long since stopped going by this alias online hope to see y'all around!

Who else is back here today with the news of the iOS / Android port?

Same here, loved these games since I was a kid and with this title for mobile it makes me hopeful we might see the Wonderland games have a modern re-release on PC, through a platform like Steam.

I thought nobody on the forums would talk about how the series has turned 20 last month out in the open...

Regardless, despite the absence I had, I wish this obscure but fantastic puzzle series a happy 20th anniversary!

Too bad I won't be able to ignite the special hub to mark the occasion with you guys (Forgotten Memories), but I was considering to continue on my other current projects...

[flameterror91]

Thought I'd make a post here cause why not. I've popped in this forum once in a while but haven't posted anything in years.

Apparently I made this account in 2012, when I was 12. I'm now 22 and recently graduated from college. I may still be young but man I'm old compared to my younger self. I think the earliest I can remember playing these games is when I was like 6?

I decided to do a playthrough of all the Wonderland games, so that should be fun. I've actually 100%'d all the games except for WA3, which I've never even beaten. It'll be exciting to try to 100% that game if I ever make it to that point

It's cool to see how far the series has come. I was especially surprised to see the games come to mobile. Hopefully we can see a future project one day, but I know we may be long past that time. Hope everyone is doing good at least

Welcome back to the forums! It's great to still see people returning to this game even after these many years.

[JoshuaPR1999]

Why not throw out a post... probably my first? I'm not even sure
Hi everyone! I'm a 23 year old recent college graduate who decided to try to come back to the games after a while of not playing them! Not that I haven't put my time in to playing these games (I've been playing since I was 2... yes that's the truth, and no that doesn't mean I'm any good at re-solving these puzzles)
I haven't even looked at these forums in over a decade, I'm just trying (and failing) to figure out how to run the Wonderland Adventures trilogy on my brand new computer, but it's going to be worth it once I hopefully figure it out!
Good to see this place is still seeing new posts, though. Especially since it's been a year since the mobile release of the original trilogy!

Hi Joshua! Yeah, we still have a small community of similarly-aged individuals kicking around

The custom content for Wonderland Adventures is currently in what some of us call a "renaissance" era; after a fairly quiet period, which occurred after the next generation (which sadly left), which itself came after most of the original WAers had left for a while. Go figure we'd all come back with some truly remarkable and frankly unusual stuff; so interesting to see how the custom content scene has evolved in the past couple of years alone

Feel free to ask for help if you can't figure out how to run the original games or the editor/player. Most of us are rather technically adept, albeit I am quite unfortunately a remarkable exception.

[JoshuaPR1999]

Yeah that's awesome! I'm gladly going to be checking in here every once in a while. I just had a thought, other than the forums, maybe there could be a chat set up somewhere just for us oldies in Wonderland to chill and talk with each other! Idk. Just a fun thought. Maybe we could all try hopping on Discord at some point.

Anyways, I got the games figured out and I've already played through the first Wonderland Adventures and it was just as fun as I remember. It's so great I'll have to see what the editor and everyone's custom levels are all about.

[Jutomi]

Well, you're in luck! We actually do have an unofficial Wonderland discord server It's not for "old-timers" per se, but it's a place where much of the Wonderland community hangs out. I'll DM you the link; it should be valid for about 7-odd days.

I should also inform you that there're technically several Wonderland communities that cross paths once in a while and shift/change as time goes on. For instance, many of us are in a more private friend group which is really not WA-based, although many of us do still play on the forums and stream each other's content. (And unfortunately some folks between there and the Wonderland discord don't always jive well with each other >_>) And then of course there's the RTW group which... has mostly retired, sadly. It's mostly just Amnon playing some junk I throw their way; no discord required (or desired on Amnon's part) really xD

Then there're also several sub-communities and discords. For instance, there's a separate Wonderland Speedrunning discord. There's also the Wonderland Archive; the group of folks who help test Dtootil's mobile and steam versions of the game; the old Wonderplus discord (I think that's wholly inactive now though); Kamerson's livestream discord; and heck even my channel (though I'd hardly count my comment section a "community" per se). Then there're just several folks who come by once in a while and don't get too involved with the community, or - as has happened a comedic number of times - split to form their own. You wouldn't think we'd be so dynamic and complicated given how few of us there are and the medium, but

Anyhow, either way, I hope you enjoy your time here! Feel free to ask me if you need any help figuring anything out.

[StinkyFTW]

Guess I qualify as an old-timer now. I may not've had a forum account for ages like the rest of you, but I've been playing and enjoying Wonderland since i was 3!

Cheers mates.

[Wonderman109]

By that logic, almost all the active users here are old-timers, although it's nice to see there is a steady stream of new people.

Hey, I remember playing Wonderland Secret Worlds as a little girl (8 or so). And when I was a teenager, (13 years old) I played the Wonderland Adventures games. Now, I'm 23 and wanting to play these games again to relive my childhood and I also want to connect with the community. From what I've seen it looks like there's a Discord server for the Wonderland games? I couldn't find a link join the server, but I'm really interested in doing so.

Very late reply and bump, but I do think there are valid links to the discord(s) on the forum. Here's one for Krabby Quest: https://discord.gg/wvFPYSrGRu
