The ACTUAL History of Agar.io

stopped being a meme channel for 4 months to make the most unserious retrospective video ever 🔥 but seriously, agar.io has been a game i've loved playing on and off since 2016, and it's been a tragedy to see the game fall from 500,000 concurrent players to only ~300 nowadays. it's been a falloff that has irked me for over 3 years, since many youtubers still revisit the game as a pioneer in the .io genre. even after its presence in the mainstream, the game still had its own dedicated community that treated the game like an actual e-sport instead of a casual time consumer. with such potential, how did such a nostalgic game lose its entire playerbase? was it just because it was a trend? and how is the game doing today? this 2 HOUR retrospective covers AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE about agar.io! obviously, there will be topics i'll miss out on, but this video is as good as it gets 🗣️ follow my terrible twitter:   / whirow94   binge watch my less serious videos:    • 😴 every whirow video ever   ___________________________________________________________ CREDITS: inspired by ‪@Or-ang-E‬'s "The ACTUAL History of..." videos 🐇 research help: -chats with ‪@MoreClipsForYou838‬ -messages from the solo community server: ​  / discord   intermission editors: ‪@amazenkat‬ & jawsome intermission 1 reaction:    • Remember .io Games?   how i got a private server for recording clips:    • Agar.io TUTORIAL: How To Make A Private Se...   agario GOATs from every era: 1. ‪@StrongAgar‬ ‪@JumboHere‬ ‪@wunwun9522‬ 2. ‪@upsidedown4882‬ ‪@SmashIO‬ ‪@starshove1335‬ 3. ‪@nofear6306‬ ‪@kolibri3291‬ @KadaL* 4. ‪@grrrio‬ ‪@MoreClipsForYou838‬ ‪@KallutoZoldyck‬ 5. ‪@Mich4lAgarPlayer‬ ‪@CxAgar‬ ‪@darkk_23‬ *deleted/privated their channel teams mode goats: ‪@sietjp‬ ‪@Emmsincognito‬ my fav big streamer that played: ​‪@caseoh_‬ planetar.io download if you're curious (must be in the florr.io server):   / discord   background music playlist:    • 🎵 background music   and special thanks to my mate in school for the short irl segment in the intro lol ___________________________________________________________ TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 4:16 Game Mechanics 5:43 Games Before Agar.io 8:52 Agar.io's Launch 12:47 Agar.io's Boom & First Controversy 17:36 New Gamemode: Teams Mode 19:15 The First Agar.io YouTubers & Basic Tactics 23:26 New Gamemode: Experimental Mode 25:05 The First Teams 28:18 New Gamemode: Party Mode & The Era of Clans 34:08 The Rise of Solo Players 36:48 2015-2016 Solo GOATs 38:48 Advanced Tactics / "Tricks" 44:36 Prelude: Who is Zeach/m28? 45:59 Agar.io Mobile / Microtransactions 49:55 Other .io Games 53:22 INTERMISSION: T3rr0r "Remember .io Games?"
