Should I go back to Neopets?

Post by NinAcTi0N »

Part of me has been painfully nostalgic over the pet platform, since I grew up with the flash games but didn’t really “play” much of what Neopets had to offer :p

Considering it’s under new ownership and management nowadays, is it worth the shot again? Part of me is still a bit wary towards the hacking attempts in the past (hope they improve the site’s security on that), but other than that, what are you guys’ thoughts on it?

i didnt play it way back, and only tried it thru the fan-made modernneopets that is still in beta i believe, so altho its pretty much a clone of classic neopets its also new-ish. i didnt enjoy it as much, but it might be because games where you need to check in often just always wear me out.

I play Neopets, and find it really enjoyable that I'm able to finally achieve a lot of my childhood dreams. I'm a big fan of virtual pet games, so I'm happy that Neopets is having some kind of a come back.
I think it's worth the shot! My username is honeyedgloss if you want t be neofriends <3

Yes!!! Do go back!!
I used to play it a lot but around 10 years ago or so I stopped, I came back in the past month because the new company responsible for it is doing wonders! Dream pet colors are finally achievable and the whole UC ordeal is over, I am so happy I have returned.

I went back to it early pandemic just to finally hit ultimate riches in my neobank account. I finally got to 10 mil, but now I'm at 16M, so it was addictive enough to keep playing. I just do my dailies. It's a lot easier to get paint brushes now with the quest log feature, so if you're into making money or customizing your pets, it's definitely easier now.

Do it for me! I would play if I didn't didn't have a job or life since I have 8921084908241 things on my backlog....

Okay Neopets people, did all of the Neohome stuff ever annoy you with 2.0 vs the OG? This is like 15+ years too late, but I remember getting SO ANNOYED with how most of the furniture couldn't be in my Neohome with the nicer looking house :cry:

I essentially just used my Neopets as dolls and imagined them traveling the world and stuff. I was also terrible at saving Neopoints as a single-digit age player :? :eek: Also was obsessed with Mutant Neopets too for some reason lol... some of the new paintbrush colors look terrible and overdesigned!
