For my senior deviantART users does anyone remember Groups? Those things where you can make your own little communities and post everything from ARPGs, Fan Communities and more? I really miss those! I haven't used deviantART in like five years and I'm sure they're still around but one of my favorite things about the platform was being able to create and participate in your own mini communities and talk to people with similar interests.
ARPGs were definitely my favorites, I absolutely loved creating characters to participate in their own little universe with other people who had their own characters. Especially the Evolution ARPGs where the only way you could grow and accessorize your character was if you waited a certain amount of time or did something specific while pumping out drawing after drawing to meet a point requirement as well. While the grind was definitely real I'll never forget going outside and collecting sticks to make stick art of my character so they could unlock some sort of horns they were able to get after meeting a 6 month age requirement haha. You really felt like you grew with your characters at the time having to wait so long to get something as silly as horns for a virtual character. I remember making around 1,600 pieces of artwork for that ARPG before leaving.
What was your favorite part about groups? Do you think Sheezy should implement something similar on their platform?
