It's been a raped, mutilated corpse puppet for twenty fucking years. Let go.
>>729415861>>729416536wasnt neopets a literal scam site, like at one point owned by scientologistsi always thought what with the mcdonalds toy tie-ins and the merch that it was some cohesive vision of an IP with a proper setting and characters, not this slapdash website featuring a hodgepodge of characters to promote unrelated shitty flash games/casinos for children
>>729416536NO
>>729416891It's swapped ownership a few times over the years.>some cohesive vision of an IP with a proper setting and charactersearly on, yeah.. website events and finding stuff around the map and plot wars were cool shit
this was the foot in the door for gacha, wasnt it?
>comes back>turns into a vehicle for furry ERP and grooming children before being shut downu rike?
>>729415861Like real neopets or the post flash atrocity?
>>729415861I could never figure out how to level up the things. Was I retarded or was it needlessly cryptic?
>>729417921The neopets themselves? You had to play Battledome.
>neopass integationActually cool, I really don't want to play shitty outdated flash games for nothing.
>>729417921You needed codestones that randomly dropped and then you took them to the island to train their stats.
>>729418043Oh shit the codestones. That was it.
>>729415861where's volcano run
>>729415861>NEOPETS IS COMING BACKit died?
>>729417667childhood was installing literal malware on your computer for an exclusive timed exclusive pet
neoquest II was way more intricate than it had any right to be
>>729416891It was a multimedia thing yes, the site itself being a grandiose [pet] simulator. There was in fact an entire established setting with tons of worldbuilding and storylines among a myriad of other stuff like the games. This is just a lazy nostalgia grab for roasties from the umpteenth cabal of demons propping it up which right now are the chinese. For instance this is JUST games and ONLY 26 when there were almost hundreds come the end of the classic era.
>>729418542imagine neoquest and neoquest 2 being standalone games ported to anything out of HTMLhellneoquest 2 had a wacky twist too
hoping for hannah and the ice caves. i was too young to bust a nut but i probably would've if i was old enough.
>>729419250Anon, that's the wrong reason to play these games!
>>729418148atleast twice
>>729416891Internet oldfag here who remembers the early years.The original owners were just a couple of Brits just having fun. The early designs had more blatant dumb jokes (Bruce the penguins were literally just a drawing of Bruce Forsyth at first) and early events weren’t exactly kid friendly as they were full murder mysteries of the staff members. As it became more popular with kids, they took it more seriously, before selling it for i assume big profit to a group who could actually handle the increased traffic. This was the golden era of content which could score sponsorships, even making deals for merch such as plushies sold at Claires, a WotC TCG, the McDonalds toys, and got a PS2 game. Though they probably overvalued themselves as the bubble burst quickly.Eventually the newer owners fucked up by not evolving with the times enough with social media taking over, people moving to mobile devices, and Adobe going full retarded with Flash, resulting in the site becoming a broken mess.Thats when it fell into the hands of a Scientologist group, and then Cryptobros, who killed it further and turned it into the scam siteDoes seem the new owners are trying to fix things to take it back to what it was, but I think the audience will be 30 something nerd women, as kids have long moved on from this.
>>729420771You're not wrong considering Neopets has made a new TCG, did a collab with G-Fuel and now this mini game collection. It seems they want the older fanbase to come back to the site again with stuff like that Void Within storyline they ran
>no Neoquest II>no Cheat>no Destructo Match>no Volcano Run>no Potato Counter ExtremeAt least Meerca Chase is there at least
>>729415861Would be based if you could get np from playing the games
I had the highest score in Potato Counter for a bit. I also remember you had to have your parents fax permission to the company to be able to trade with other players.
>>729420771>and then Cryptobroswait, what??
Aleight, faggotsPost em badges
The minigames were the worst part
Yeah this is alright.I don't mind people porting shit out of flash and selling it as one big bundleI'd rather have the videlectrix Museum for the games on hsr and maybe some kind of cyber museum to wander around in
>>729420771>Mcdonalds toysWhat a nostalgia hit. Anybody else's school go absolutely crazy for these? They were worth more than crack on the playground and there must have been hundreds of fights that started over stolen neopets to the point where my school ended up banning them. My cholesterol still probably hasn't recovered from all the happy meals I forced my parents to buy trying to get rare neopets to brag about.
>>729423985would if I could>dumbass lost his account with fake credentialsI deserved it for being a dumb kid with no foresight. It's probably 19 years old now.
>>729424424>there must have been hundreds of fights that started over stolen neopets to the point where my school ended up banning themthe fuck I thought it was just my school that went insane with these. Marbles had been a craze right before this, so it influenced a lot of theft and competitive behavior at my school.
nu pets are cute...
>>729418248>timed exclusive petnot anymore, you can get it with the pay 2 win premium perk that lets you change the species of your pet, so if you have any other ice pet you can turn it into an ice bori
>>729415861It's kind of crazy that all of the games that I played as a kiddo still get kept alive by obsessed manchildren>Club Penguin>Toontown>etcLike yeah I'm nostalgic for this stuff but I have 0 interest in actually playing it
Oh so it’s not like a new Neopets,,,
>>729424953I mean some of the minigames are alright I think the main issue here is the social aspect is just radioactive
>>729424656Kek good to know it wasn't just mine. We had kids planning heists to steal Neopets from backpacks during lunch and I remember being prepared break noses to protect my Cloudy Techo.
>>729415861Grarrl Chads, where we at? I raised one to be a serious arena fighter. I can't even remember what it was like anymore but I was decent at it.
>>729425173Forgot image. Old designs were best
>>729425314>Forgot imageDid you feel too embarrassed to make another post?
>game where you have to keep a ball from falling by clicking on it>had a shit PC with slow internet>thought the game was too easy since it was so slow>go to friends house>has a decent PC>realize that ball is meant to be much faster
>>729419250No Hannah = no buy
>>729423985Hate this ugly nu-font
>>729420771>30 something nerd womenbueno,jpg
Neopets got me into slot machines
