An Open Letter to You

Welcome to The Orion! I’m beyond excited to kick off this journey with all of you.

The Orion is here to be your go-to spot for everything Starimu. Whether you’re on the hunt for a rare item, curious about upcoming updates, looking for tips to ace those mini-games, or just wanting to dive deeper into our awesome community, you’ve come to the right place.

A Little Trip Down Memory Lane

Let's rewind to my 5th grade year, around 2011. That’s when I discovered Fantage, and it quickly became my favorite virtual hangout. I spent countless hours exploring, making friends, and creating unforgettable memories. I played so many games like Club Penguin, Moshi Monsters, and Poptropica during my childhood. Yet, none of them had the effect that Fantage had on me. After shutdown, I found myself Googling "games like Fantage" more times than I'd like to admit.

One day, one of those Google searches led me to the Starimu website. I created an account during Beta and it was so empty. There weren't many people on--but that didn't matter. I was ecstatic! Up until that point, I had followed so many other Fantage reboot projects (Anyone remember Mirai?!) I was so happy to see one of these projects actually make it into Beta!

And then I forgot about Starimu. For two years.

In April 2024, I stumbled across an Instagram reel about nostalgic games that mentioned Fantage. Check out the interaction I had in the comment section below!

Screenshot from Instagram. Conversation is as follows: [Raeofsun]: What about Fantage? [InstagramUser]: Check out Starimu! It's a revival game. [Raeofsun]: I tried Starimu during its beta release. Has it gotten any better? [InstagramUser]: Oh yeah, it's gotten way better. [Raeofsun]: Omg thank you!

And the rest is history!

Welcome to The Orion

That brings us to The Orion. I created this blog to be the ultimate hub for Starimu fans. My team will cover everything from game guides and tips to community stories and the latest updates. Whether you’re a longtime player or new to the game, The Orion is here to make your Starimu experience even better.

Expect a lot of fun content coming your way! We’ll dive deep into game strategies, highlight community events, and keep you up-to-date with all things Starimu. My hope is for The Orion to become a lively community where we can all share our love for this amazing game.

I’d love for you to get involved. Share your stories, collaborate with our journalists, and let’s build a strong community together. Be sure to check back a couple times a month to see the new content we have shared.

Thanks for being here at the start of this exciting journey. Your passion for Starimu is what makes this all worthwhile, and I’m so excited to experience it with you.

All the best,

Raeofsun
