I play neopets! My username is shigger711. I don't like neopets much anymore... they're taken all the good stuff down!

I hate the new neopets. It was so simple when we had the old neopets back. for example, the layout. It's horrible. The old layout was just a sidebar, and I miss that. Now the layout is a flashy CSS thing! And every 2 days or so they release a stupid avatar. You know, like a neopet blinking it's eyes or something. So they're really just stupid and useless, unless you're trying to be the top avatar collector or something. And the 2 WORSE THINGS are:

1. Neopets doesn't care about the site or players anymore! All they care about is money

2. Neopets wastes their money on stuff too. For example they have *stupid* ads on TV with a neopet blinking it's eyes. (A lot come on when the TV show drake & josh is on :XD:) TV ADS cost money to put on! So they are wasting lots of money for some stupid ads. They don't even stick in your head that well. So old neopet players, do you like the new neopets? Or the old neopets?

I used to play years and years ago when I was smaller. But I really only used it to see how much money or neopoints I could make. I made a storefront and tried to make it as big as I could, plus I invested in the stock market. I really just used it as a business simulator and what not. I never really liked any of the neopets, and I only played a game or two that you could earn the most points.

Yeah i use to play about 5 years ago and i checked like a year ago on my account and i couldn't remember the password. So i tried to do that password recovery thing and they asked for my birth date which i lied about at the time so you could get onto those cool boards at least i thought were cool at the time. My user name is dundun2007 try to hack into it or something because i cant get in i would just like to get it so i can see what its all about now.

Wow it's been at least three years since I played it. I always thought the game was weird, so all I did was play the minigames that earn you neopoints. Mindbreaker (I think that's what it was called) was really cool and actually made me think. All sites seem to be going for money now. :XD:

I used to play neopets, but since I forgot my username and lost my beloved cat I stopped playing
PS a huge coincidence was that my real pet died my neopet died (both with the same name)

I always new that game was no good hehe. I never played it and never new what it was about. csp4.0 can't you just make another account then? or is there a ip block once you have registered? I agree with the waste of money. My cousin's friend plays it an he said he actually waste money on it. I would personally would be better off spending it on a new CD or something but not for a game especially when you forget your username :XD: :) Maybe if it was your own game then yeah spend money to make it better but never on other games. unless your really close friends with the owner and they can help you with your account if they get lost. I'll just try this out later and see what its all about. Hope its not the same as the movie, "The Last mimzy." because I really hates that movie and it did say that it was sponsered by neopets. Yeah I hate those money making games now. I would only still play those games or help if they need it to keep the game alive... But neopets makes alot of money and dont even need the money for maybe couple of years! But I heard a saying that the more you have cash the ore you want. I dunno where I heard it from but yeah kinda unknown saying. :D

It has been three years since I, too, had las played Neopets.

I was there mostly for the stock market. There was a time when it was okay, until I realized that, more than anything, it is just a big gambling game.

I never cared much for Battledome, auctions, quests (faerie and non-faerie) and the games. I do remember eagerly awaiting new plots, though. Yeah, the comic's kinda sucky and the plot (sic) doubly so but, as a creative writer (or an ordinary person claiming to be one) I occasionally come across a few gold nuggets of plot-worthy events while sifting through that bucket of humus :)

Really, it is a total waste of time, if you ask me but, then again, that might be unfair for me to say considering that I usually view a lot of online games as waste of time :XD:

Oh yeah, as a friend/buddy network, it didn't work for me. I made more friends over Yahoo! Messenger than Neopets, if that's any way to describe how terrible it is.

I used to play ages ago, but I didn't really get into playing. I found for a new player, the webpage interface was really hard to navigate around. They also had all that COPPA crud on it, that you had to get your parents permission to talk to other people or something :).

I suppose it's a good game, it's just a bit hard to start playing, well for me it was :XD:

Neopets I played this game also long ago... but back then I really was just into it for battling so my pet was badly abused and not feed on most occasions, so I got bored and simply forgot about the game. Now I only wonder if my account is still active and if my pet is still hungry xD I always wondered how they didn't die back then xD.

I used to love neopets but I stopped playing when everything changed.

it's true, neopet has become like all the other lame virtual pet sites that only care about money, not about the actual players. neopets is just for n00bs now! the old players don't like it anymore.

if some people like the new version, fine, they should be able to have it, but for those who want the old version back, we should have the choice...

Yeah, I played when I was little, and it was way easier to navigate around the site, and they changed the pets' poses! The pets look HORRID now, for example, the skeith, he looks just... Ugh! ...
Also, the neocash has gone TOO far! They make you pay for almost EVERYTHING supposedly 'good'...
I think we should have a choice for the layout and all, I'm sure all of us 'old' players would love to have the OLD neopets back!! I mean, its getting kind of boring, and I think they should warn us about the birthdate thing, because -By the way, I have many accounts on neopets, so...- I didn't want to put my real one, and now I don't remember what I had! But I have a new account, my main one, I guess. OH!! And also, I remember I had a mutant petpet paintbrush, and it must have got stolen or something, and I miss it still! :( I want it back, first I thought my sister had somehow taken it, but she hadn't... :( I could have a Faerie Peophin right now if not for whoever -or whatever- took my PB from me! :(
I still play neopets, although I never seem to be able to feed my pets, well I can, but I just don't have the money, I'm saving for a faerie PB, so...

Anyway, back to the point: WE WANT THE OLD NEOPETS BACK! :(

I have been playing for two years. I wish I played a long time ago. It was way better back in the day! They ruined it with customization and the nc mall. I liked the older styles of neopets. My username is alaarm. My kiko looks ugly now. It would have looked so cute a year ago. It makes me angry to see how they have ruined the site recently, I mean really. We should have the choice whether or not we want to have the old or new theme when browsing, and we should be able to "unconvert" our pets. That would be the right thing to do, in my opinion. I also think its kind of dumb how you can see your neopet sad. It's just torture to some people. But some people like it. I can't always afford to get food, but I hate having my neopets look sad.

Sigh...I know exactly what you mean. I joined Neopets when I was eight and I loved it sooo much. But now they made all the Neopets look ugly and the new Neohomes are all about Neocash. They totally ruined the site with the stupid frikking NC Mall. I honestly cannot think of any virtual games based on websites that don't have some type of Premium service or some way to buy what you want with real money. I call it bull crap. Club Penguin, Neopets, Monstersgame, StarDoll, and several other websites, even forums, are all a disgrace to the internet. In thirty years or so, every single site that you sign up for will have to be paid for. Why can't the internet revert back to not being obsessed with money? Why does the whole world revolve around money? I'm sorry I got so carried away, but jeez. It's getting really ridiculous. And I, being broke 100% of the time, never get to pay for this kind of stuff.

I cant agree with the you more. I think the new system of birthday is really horrible T.T I lost an account with the secret lab map, 20+ paint brushes(petpet and pet) and a lot of rare stf. Didnt wanna create a new account cause its too troublesome and the site just seems too complicated. Many gd games are gone and now I really cant get the whole conversion rate of the game pts and the np. Confusing.

Yeah, I joined when I was 8 too! It was so good back then! Now I just hate it so much! I want to get back on my old best account, but I lied about my age to get into the boards (most people did). I had alot of money on that account and now, I'm stuck with this rubbish one!! I miss the old neopets and I wish it was back. They ruined it with the neomall and neocash thing. Some may think they're are making the site better... Maybe for newbies but I bet they are losing alot of old members. They certainly lost me!!

So, to paraphrase, "The new Neopets sucks, do you like it?"

Sorry, that was a little uncalled for. It had to be said.

Personally, I think that Neopets is just going down the tubes. At about the age of 11, I took a 1-year hiatus after discovering programming and AddictingGames. After coming back, I discovered that Neopets had failed while I was gone. It's just terrible. Honestly, a limit on how many times you can play a game per day? Stupid. Not to mention the account-running-over. Oh, you have all sorts of awesome items? Sucks for you, you said something mean to someone else and now your account is frozen FOREVER! XD

Neopets...it flails.

Neopets
Neopets.com *old* Players!

*Sigh* I joined seven years ago and then stopped playing for 3 years. Recently I decided to get back on but to my dismay, I had entered the wrong password. I had entered a fake birthday and I was now required to enter it. I figured out the password but I cannot remember the birthday and so I have had to create a new account. It was sad to lose some trophies and pets but I still like playing neopets. My only other complaint is that there seems to be less plots going on.

It sucks nowNeopets.com *old* Players!Eventually it will be a stupid pay site. I remember I played the first year it came out. It was alot better then. Once it progressed a little, now Viacom got into it, everything became ugly and kiddie-like, stupid clothes for your ugly pets, the new homes you need to pay for furniture to make it nice...If it becomes a pay site I will protest. I will never use it again and join the other countless ripoff sites. Neopets wasn't the first virtual pets site but claims it is. It was sold for 150 million to Viacom.I do like some new features but it is pretty much nothing like it used to be, all these ads popping up blocking games, takes 5 minutes now to load a game...This site is ****ing rich, why ads?Give 200 or 50 NP. I hate business people, they always ruin everything.-Liviana

I used to love neopets (about 5 or 6 years ago) It was a great game, lots of fun with the online virtual world to explore etc. The most enjoyable part was the minigames to earn neopoints, I didn't really do anything else other than that.
I haven't been back recently (i.e. within the past 2 years), my pet is porbably starving to death (if thats even possible) but judging from everyone's comments here I shouldn't go back? The homepage looks really different (no sidebar? :P)
I've forgotten my password or I'd log back into my account and see how things are...

In my opinion, Neopets isn't too great of a website. It looks ugly, has too many ads (adblock anyone?), has only bland games, and favours paying users (I think). That said, I spent some years back when I was still 10 on it, and it was a good eye-opener to the way things work on the internet as it was the first website I used much (i.e. fake information, scams, secure passwords, etc.). My first password was 'happy', and that account got hacked. Now I'm secure about things I do on the internet :P

I know what you meanNeopets.com *old* Players!

Man I know what you guys mean. I used to play 2-3 years ago and it was fun! Now It's not how it used to be.

1.) log in is harder because they ask for the birthdate.

2.) no more "the customer's always right"

3.) its all about the money, commercials, adds, toys, etc.

4.) no more epic plots, new great games, neopets(that aren't bought)

5.) it became like every single site: A tycoon busines, only for money that can be obtained by only credit card

At least make gift cards cause not EVERY KID has access to a credit card! And, there are people who are going to steal the pin anyway!

Old player- lost my neopets accountNeopets.com *old* Players!

 I played neopets 5 to 6 years ago and then my life just got busier.  3 years ago I began to play again one summer as there was more free time, but stopped soon after due to moving countries. The last thing I remember doing on my account was changing my profile page and you have to change your password everytime doing that- hence the reason why I forgot what my password was for so long. So I e-mail the neopets SUPPORT team and explain to them my issue. I wait for almost 4 months in total for them to finally say that I "do not have enough sufficient information". I just want my old account back. If they just asked me what they specifically wanted to know I would answer it. Or if they gave me the e-mail I used to create the account it would solve everyone's problem. I want to play neopets again out of nostalgia, but will only play with my old account. I can't stand just seeing it wasting away there...So I tried getting a response out of the neopets team again. Wish me luck.Oli

I used to be able to play it on my ancient computer just fine and it was fun.  I could afford everything and I felt equal to everyone.  I stopped playing for a few years and when I got back on I was completely lost there were like 5 new places on the map, which is fine I guess, but they weren't as creative as the original places.  Also it was so new it almost crashed my computer.  Finally we got a new computer and I got back on and played for a while but I couldn't afford a thing, anything decent cost literally like 4,000,000 neopoints.  Now there are people who are like 7 years younger than me who are more successful than I am because they bought Neopets premium, which is some stupid new thing where they get more money and enhanced features.  The rumor is that Neopets is slowly switching all the decent features over to the premium version until eventually it'll be some stupid pay-only site.

I agree but disagree at the same time..Neopets.com *old* Players!

 I stopped playing for years because they changed the layout. The first day I saw that new layout it felt really disgusting and commerical.. And what's with all the flash things? It takes too long to load.. And it lags.. Especially the redo of all the maps.. And the neohome.. And what's up with those advertisements?! the ads showing a lot of skin.. And they're everywhere..

..I kinda like the NC Mall. They give out free items once in a while. For April they give out free eggs with Neohome items in it. And free Neocash. I've only been back a month and I got 200 nc, enough for a spiffy wing for my Wocky. Maybe if I check often.. I get more.. Then I won't have to pay for those items ever. Also.. A lot of good items don't need neocash.. I mean. I can live without them. I read on wikipedia that neopets needs a lot of money to run its servers.. Probably just for connection takes thousands.. I'm an old player too, but I have learned to ignore the ads and enjoy the site still. It's still okay. In my opinion.

 Oh! And before I forget.. If you guys lost your birthday you can try 3 times every day to figure it out!! If you have millions of neopoints and rare items in there.. It's worth it to spend 2 mins each day to try getting in. There are 365 days in a year, with 3 tries per day, you'll figure out your birthday in 4 months :)

I had just made my neopets account and it's been like 7,8 years ince I made it , I agree alos I quited at the moment they opend the new layout, neopets when it was created, they acutlly cared about the players and wanted to have fun, prabably more staff came inot neopets and they started investing and making money by only caring about it. My sister was a great player and she quited like 4 months after she made her account, she the best thing she had ober 1000000 or somehting like that, don't know if it's alot these days, her name I think is ajnabi71 or agnabi71. Then she quited when the old layout was there. And I was like why ddi you quit. Then after like 6 months I quited and realized that why she quitted. It was because how it how it was changing alot. Like I've moved other games like runescape.Com not sure anyone's heard of it. But I just think neopets is just blah... I hope neopets run out of bussines.!

I gave up on Neopets in early 2003. I go back from time to time for the Altador Cup and the plots... but that's about it. And even those aren't loads of fun.

I'm not a huge fan of Neopets now, to be honest. I feel choked by ads any time my ad block is off. The pet customization just doesn't interest me. I think it's harder to find things now. Plus, they seem to force flash on all of their maps. I've never really liked flash, so that's kind of annoying.

I played neopets for a long time, since 2000. I stopped playing at 2004 and lost that account. (neopets deleted it, and some other n00b stole my user name!) So I created another account because back then neopets still cared for its users. I then quit playing at 2006 because of lack of time to devote to it. But my friend recently moved away, and he plays neopets for fun, so I started playing again. (I guessed my random birthdate and got it right ^^) The new neopets is BAD. My hours and hours of creating, searching, and remaking my profiles, pet profiles, and shops are now ruined because neopets messed up all html. Like said, neopets doesn't care about its users anymore and it makes me sick when I see little kids starting neopets-swirling into that money making abyss.
