Hi. I used to go ham on neo back in the day, but I have no idea what the usernames/emails/whatevers of any of my accounts are. With all of the events that have happened, and the exclusive items, and avatars....

 

Part of me thinks it isn't worth coming back to the site. 

 

I mean, if I can't TRULY be a part of the neo-elite because I can't get a stamp released by the wraith event or some other dumb thing, is it really worth trying?

 

Maybe I'm just being a debbie-downer but I honestly feel like it's not worth starting over.

 

What do y'all think?

Neopets sucks major donkey balls now. There's hardly any updates, other than new NC items all the time. The plot is garbage. Essentially the only thing that is ever updated is ways for them to make money off of neocash.

 

Stay away!

Sounds about right.

I guess I'm just blinded by nostalgia.

I think Flight Rising has the best battle system out of those; however, that's literally the only thing that site has to offer...and pretty dragons I guess too.

Ichumon has a very in depth and awesome battle system if I'm honest. Even some sort of co-op quests that are repeatable. 

Aywas has a pretty fun one too.

 

Furvilla is... Decent but limited.

 

Dappervolk doesn't have one

Flight rising's is repetitive and boring

Depends on what you're coming back for.

 

If you're coming back and playing for the nostalgia, then I'd say hell yeah.

If you're coming back to assert your alpha dominance and be one of the best TCers on the site, or one of the best 2P Battledomers, naw. 

The best players now are the worst players from years ago.

Lmao, so true.

 

Nostalgia is definitely the only thing worth going back for. :rofl:

 

But that is pretty much it. The cons outweigh the pros by miles. The community is dying, but the small group of delusional regulars who hang out in the TP board will tell you otherwise while bumping up their boards (and each others) with spam endlessly day after day. :rofl: :rofl: The in-game economy is terrible. Lets not forget the ridiculous profanity filter in a family friendly game where games like slots, scratchcards, lottery and betting are plentiful. Player support is atrocious with not only random and unfair account freezes but also with the outrageously long time to receive a reply after submitting a ticket (if you actually receive a reply, that is!). And to have access to a search engine that displays the lowest cost of items in shops, you have to pay for Premium? I mean, isn't that a basic feature for any game that has a buy-sell player system? :rolleyes: Optimization for the game is horrid. With the recent Faerie plot, the purple fog that they put on almost every daily made the pages lag terribly or not load at all. For a web browser based game, that's just embarrassing. :thumbdown: :thumbdown: And lets not forget the recent event where the website was down, pages were not loading or took hours to load a single page. And there was not a single word or update from TNT to inform players that they are trying to fix the issue. And they charge $70 USD for annual premium membership for customer service like that, with "premium services" which are basic and really nothing premium.

 

If theres one thing that is amazing about the game, its the miracle of how it is still running and how there are still some players who are actually paying for premium.  :whistling:  :whistling:

 

Check out some of these as well:

 

This is the official FB page for Neopets. Do have a look at the ridiculous number of comments and complaints that others have made following poor player support, or no support from TNT at all.

This is usually my response to anything Neopets-related now.

 

Fuck Neopets!

tbh I think it's just as much of a black hole as it used to be.

i still was able to get into my old account so that helped.

 

idk i dont think i would be as into it if i had to start over either tho honestly.

:(
