Server (general)
Tell us the origins story of how Imagine Fun came to be and how you ended up on IF. (There is a rumor that IF was offered a buyout and staff declined, good move!) - Office4Life
- Mouske’s storytime:
- IF started with Slinx, Mouske, and another former Imagineer
- All met on Haxiclesticks which was shut down, then they were given the map to host it when it closed
- February 2018: Branched off from that hosting and started their own
- Started with the train station which Mouske built on single player
- Offered 3 buyouts
- 2 from same person, a server that was bigger than them at the time
- One that offered money (a couple hundred bucks) is not around anymore
- Turned down because we didn’t really care about the money and still don’t, this is a passion project and want to keep working on it
- The other server didn’t offer money but offered the team positions as builders on the server
- Cam’s origin story:
- worked with iMod on another server beforehand. One night was chatting with a mutual friend who told him about IF, he messaged iMod, and the day that he joined he started making Discord bots (e.g., v1 of ChatBot which has since been replaced by Foolish’s HelpDesk bot) and working for the server
- Joined in May 2020, became an Imagineer in October 2020
- Portal’s origin story:
- Friends with a previous Imagineer, had worked on Haxiclesticks post-Mouske’s era there
- During TikTok boom, the previous Imagineer told her that IF was getting busy, she offered to help and joined to mod
- Soggy’s origin story:
- Saw a Reddit post about Disneyland during covid when he was sad to be living in SoCal when DL was closed
- Joined around the same time as the TikTok boom, joined, and then got hired the day afterward because of experience with moderation
- Joined April 9th, 2020
- Life got crazy, left for a little, then came back
What was the reason for the name change back in 2020 from ImagineeringFun to ImagineFun? (yes I still remember that) - Faded
- Legal perspective — “Imagineering” is trademarked and didn’t know that beforehand
- Lowering the threat of lawsuit!
- Flows better!
What was the first ever ride? - The Laughing Burger
- First 2 to release: Peter Pan’s Flight and Buzz
- Buzz was more or less operational (in most basic form)
- Next: Space
Will Imagine Fun be trademarked or be planned to be trademarked? - Mineez
- No plan to, it’s expensive
How many opening day tickets did you guys put into the game when you first opened? - Avery
- Don’t know the exact number, just had a command block that gave it to everyone
- Very few people who are still around, would guess that there were ~40 in existence ever
- Cam’s storytime: about a year ago, running around on local server and found that live servers had a button that would’ve given every online player an opening day ticket which would have been disastrous but luckily nobody found and pressed it
I'm curious what does the Imagine Fun address look like and the connection? Is there a Imagine Fun office there? 109 E. 17th St. Suite #5783, Cheyenne, WY 82001 - Office4Life
- It’s a business entity address for the LLC, that’s a mailbox in a wall! **But PLEASE don’t send mail, we won’t receive anything sent there
- We actually live and work there please don’t visit us /j
When will Small World be built? - Office4Life (jokingly) - Laughing Burger (seriously)
- Infinite backburner, lot of reasons why it’s taking so long
Anything you guys would wanna make outside of disney? could be stuff from games or movies or even other theme parks idc - Clacio
- Cam would definitely want to get into newer discord features to make bots that do cool stuff
Is IF looking to expand the builder and staff because of the workload current staff is seeing? - Office4Life
- Yes, definitely (especially for builders)! Also internationals pls apply <3
- A lot different from the height of the pandemic when people were home all the time
Would you guys consider adding more things to the mall? i feel like it’s pretty empty and it hasn’t been updated much since it opened apart from fnaf 4 and the fall guys parkour. ik it’s not the main focus obviously but it’s pretty cool - Clacio
- Getting an update pretty soon, gaining the Penthouse Parkour
- There will be a lot more FNAF added/hidden soon
- There may be a Mario race course that may be almost completed and may become part of a minigame soon
Just like how there’s ducks all around the park would you maybe consider adding cats everywhere like irl? maybe even a calico cat possibly maybe theoretically :0 - Clacio
- That would certainly be cute! Mouske would like to do that at some point, like locations where real cats are wandering Grizzly Peak
Penny (the character) update maybe pretty please? - Insider Disn3rd
- Penny is Mouske’s favorite character and nothing more has been done with her yet, would like to do more with her in the future to develop the storyline
- So many things to do with the characters, love them very much, never enough time ): especially for voice acting to get things together for stuff like Newswire

- Working on a public API people can use to build cool things for stats
This sounds kinda weird but could there be any way that mail could be a thing with Santa with christmas. like a way where someone could put to:username from:username in a book and you get a notif when you get one then you could reply - Cafe

- Will do our best to get you something soon!!
- At the end of the day, you threw your money in out of your own free will!!! The original plan was that you would get nothing! Walle was going to take your coins and leave! He might just do that still!
- You WILL get something
Is auction still being developed? - Office4Life
- Yes, it will be coming within the next 2 months (before Christmas)
Any advancement on parades or is it on the back burner atm? (I'm betting it won't resume till after the holidays?) - Office4Life
- On the back-burner because there’s a lot of stuff in the works, can’t put a date on it yet but not going to happen before the end of the year
- A lot of work prior to getting the parade moving, it’s being slowly chipped away at
After the bugs with the mobility scooters are sorted and they work and they're added, will players eventually be able to buy and use a personal mobility scooter using in game currency? - The Laughing Burger

- “I barely plan 3 days in advance” -Cam

Will there be any move to update the room building tools? Like from 12.1 to 19.1? - GO-EZ
- When we shift the server to a new version, everything will have to go at once (rides, main server, hotels, etc)
Building comps for hotels? - GO-EZ

- Will try to have as many events as possible with hotels to make them super interactive

Couldn't yall make some kind of Multiple Hats Mod to be able to have more than hat on? - Mineez
- Unfortunately Minecraft is lame and limits us so this isn’t possible

When will the next wave of hotel closed beta be released? - Laughing Burger
- Maybe in a week or two, no exact date
- Whenever the current group’s feedback has been processed thoroughly, controlled groups help a lot for allowing everyone’s thoughts and ideas to be fully read and taken into consideration
