I grew up playing this game (aj classic) and have been playing since 2013, a lot of people say this game is very toxic, but it really depends on the people you interact with online; it can typically be avoided. I have found if you avoid the pillow room you don't encounter toxic people, a lot of people who hang around their tend to be very immature.
Overall, I don't think this game has changed very much since when i was extremely active in 2017, i think it's had mild improvements since then. Some of good qualities of the game have been lost just because it needs better updates, but overall I love this game.
