I'm not the only person to think this, but could this be pulled off if the site came together?
What I'm talking about is a new pet site like the old neopets before Viacom bought it.
Basically take what we loved about the old neopets, what we'd add to the current, and make it into a new website, that won't be run by a money grubbing company.
Make it about the players and not their money.
I bring this idea here, because this website basically holds ALL the people needed to run the site.
So I make this topic for peoples thoughts, inputs, ideas and suggestions.
EDIT: People think I want to make a clone of the old neopets, that's not the case. I want to make (or help make in this case) the next best thing. I used the old neopets as an example, because that's what everyone loves (and what brought this whole thing up).
What we need is ideas to make it stand out from neopets. Make it original.
If this gets enough momentum and shows people want to help bring it somewhere, I will happily invest into this.
Good ideas so far:
1) Better battle system
2) Stocks that actually get priced due to purchases of items at that shop and/or purchases of the stock
2) Mobile Access (Mobile Site and/or Apps)
3) Get starter pets at the beginning. Random events allow you to catch rare pets, potions/items to acquire special pets
4) Starter pet choices based on outcome of personality quiz upon signup.
5) Pets level up through battle experience and training area
6) Pets evolve by choice(what about painting/changing color?) upon completion of quests/plots/leveling up (?)
If I'm missing anything PM me and I'll keep the list going. So far it's looking good people, don't let this die.
