Website History

AmberCreatures first opened early 1997 under the name of The AmberDawn, which was inspired by Don's interest in the gemstone amber and its ability to perfectly preserve and share the past:

Amber is a naturally occurring fossilised resin from ancient trees that forms an opaque yellow to golden orange gemstone with supposed magical qualities, often used in jewellery. Many different species have been found trapped inside amber chunks dating over hundred of millions years old.

The website began as a virtual life website dedicated to producing new addons and tutorials for Creatures, Oddballz and Petz. By 2000 the website had grown large enough that it had to be broken into several seperate sites, hense the Creatures section became called AmberCreatures.

Unfortunately, third-party development was not as common when AmberCreatures opened and Don often found her website had been deleted by the hosting company, who mistakenly believed norns were illegal warez. This meant that new downloads were lost in several of the website moves, including the Creatures 1 world, The AmberCity. It wasn't until 2002 that AmberCreatures finally found a reliable host but after finding one the site has remained with them ever since.

In 2001 Don decided she wanted to remove all advertising from her site and thus bought the domain amberz.net to replace the sponsered go.to address. Unfortunately the hosting company only supported url masking so in 2003 Don registered amberzoo.co.uk with a new company. Another major change that occured that year was that on May 10th 2003 AmberCreatures underwent a complete redesign, similar to the revamp due mid 2005.
