The game is a visual chat and social game application similar to Club Penguin or Habbo Hotel, with adventure and quest components similar to ''RuneScape'' and other MMO games. It was free to play until the introduction of bonuses and extras that required paying to be a "Gold" or "Silver Explorer". The game officially closed December 31, 2010. ==The Avatars== Players can select and customize an avatar upon registration and are immediately placed in-world. The avatars appear as stylized cartoon depictions of human children while many of the non-player characters in Dizzywood appear as anthropomorphic animals. The exploration theme of Dizzywood is immediately apparent as new avatars are equipped with hiking clothes and a backpack. A distinguishing feature of Dizzywood is that players can completely alter their appearance at any time using a feature called Change Your Look. Players can express their thoughts and feelings via online chat or visually through the use of emotes (happy, angry, etc.) that can be sent to other players. You can now write a message below your name after you become a paying member. Gold Explorers can do many things such has "gold only" missions. They also get to buy certain clothes and get a mansion with 6 rooms (8 including the main room and the grounds) to decorate any way they choose. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dizzywood」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
