Fantage
Fantage was a browser-based social MMO built specifically for kids, blending a bright 2D world with simple mini-games and a heavy focus on avatar style. Its big draw was giving younger players a “first online world” that felt like social networking, but with guardrails like chat filtering and parental controls designed to reduce the risk of oversharing. While it is no longer playable today, Fantage remains a notable example of the late-2000s wave of child-friendly virtual worlds that prioritized customization and safe social spaces.
