It's played mainly for the prizes. There are three difficulty levels to finish the game on, with Normal giving the worst prizes and InSaNe giving the best. The pro NQ2 players I used to know had long ago gotten their prizes from insane mode (you can only get a prize from insane once) so they would spend their time winning Nightmare prizes over and over again to sell. They're all BD items, and NQ2 is the only way they enter the economy, so they're pretty rare and valuable. Most of them anyway. If you're looking for quick NP though, this is not the game.

Whoever was talking about GS scripts... we should talk. There is a lot of potential for this sort of thing on NQ, but you have to approach it carefully. If I were well versed at all in the programming side of it, I would tackle the project myself. We (neocodex that is) used to have an NQ2 'trainer' that basically sat and battled for you, eliminating the hardest part of the game. But the second hardest was navigating from one boss-fight to the next. Essentially it's done with cartographic skills :\

Mapping NQ2 was the most boring thing I have ever tried to do, ever. I asked for help, but no one ever stepped up, so I scrapped the project.

What's the point of mapping it?

Man, I don't even know the object of the game. :|

I assume it's so the program knows where you need to go at which stages of the game and which moves are illegal. The object of the game is to, um, get a lupe to fight a bunch of other...evil neopets and...in a million years you get stuff and a trophy. I've tried to play it a couple of times, but having the page reload every step you take gets frustrating.

Same here. Never played NQ2 and never will. Looks and seems boring as Fuck.

Wrong NeoQuest.

I'm writing my dissertation and regretting ever opting to take it as a module.

[Propitiatory]

I never understood NQ either, but I like Keyquest which I'm currently playing

[Lychee]

Wrong NeoQuest.

Oh, so it is.

You get a Blumaroo to fight other Neopets. And later other Neopets join you.

[Ziz]

On NQ II some neopets trapped on a simulation and have to beat other neopets and weird monsters in the game in order to get free.

Now when you say mapping, do you mean a map of everything, or do you mean scripts to get from point A to point B?

I really do like NQ and NQ2, but an autobattler is practically necessary as that game gets real old real fast.

The former
I had a fully functional program for the entire game, save for the kind of navigational structure that I wanted.

Well if you ever decide to revive the project for whatever reason, you have at least 1 volunteer.

All the code was lost when my harddrive blew up at university
It was in VB6 anyway, so not any use now.

What fucking neoquest are we talking about?
:|

I thought they're all the same game whether it's NQ I or NQ II.

If they were the same game, why would they have different titles?
They're both browser-based RPGs, but apart from that, the mechanics are almost completely different.

lol i just assumed they have different characters and graphics.....

Ive played only as far to get the avatar then said screw it......moving one square wasn't worth having the reload the page again

Trying to keep only one character alive is much more frustrating than spreading the job out amongst four characters

[BERRIES]

Oh god... Neoquest II is so boring, irritating AND SLOW.... I just want the end prizes. T__________T

I wanna pay someone to play the whole game, ALL difficulties for me. LOL!!

[Propitiatory]

Thanks for the explanation on the difference between NQ and NQII, since I never got into them, I'd never would have known xD
