Neopets

[n64king]

Eh, somewhat. You can still get lent if you have a nice account but it's very slow and mostly chat groups.

Omg LOLOLOL If you have a nice account, I remember that. What's like "wow u have a lot of avs" now? I think I had 332 when I stopped and I was permanently just shy of the top 50-75 collectors. I remember me and my friend had the same but we couldn't get more cause all there was left were the randoms and retired ones.

- - - Post Merge - - -

And naturally people would reset their avatar number every month. Like why... I never understood, you already have the trophy and av. I wouldn't have kept doing it personally.

 

[sleepel]

i hope they fix the lag once and for all lol

 

[Alienfish]

Yeah. Most of the days now it's only contacts or being avid in chat groups (I myself chat some on one of them).

 

[CainWolf]

I log in every so often to use the lab ray, if I get a decent color I either send it to the pound or send it to a side account until I can find someone who wants it. I might be bad at finding people though, can't seem to find anyone who wants a desert jubjub but it was pound stuck and has a clothing item so I don't want to abandon it. If anyone here who still plays neopets wants a lab pet and isn't too picky then feel free to message me on here and I'll tell you what I have, I try to go for decent names when I can.

I think 332 is a lot LOL. My friend has like 350something but I don't see many people with 330+ very often.

They're slowly announcing more avatars but I was never into that since I suck at games and have no luck with the random ones.... Only have like 260 orz

Funny story..so long ago, when I played Neopets (I'm now more into Subeta), I used to buy things like paintbrushes and stuff on another website for real money. As far as I knew, that wasn't against the rules back then, but I've looked into it further and it is a rule. I just remember getting really upset when I found out my account got frozen..that was a bummer...after making my parents spend all that money on it...

If I look up my username on Neo, I can still find some of my old pets oh god

 

[Chibiusa]

I used to be really into it a few years ago. Now my pets are rotting with my account. I should sell off the pets or something.

 

[tobi!]

i tried to make an account today but every single username seems to be taken. I don't want "norski_1_394949_449" or something like that.

 

[Alienfish]

use something else then i had to use_(username) lol cause i had literally no fantasy

heh i found it kinda funny how you posted that right after someone said they got frozen for buying pets/pbs with real money

do you have any UCs?

you could probably sell stuff still, but i don't know - not really into the ~*~ underground neo scene ~*~ but i remember my brother use to make money selling np haha

I don't have any UCs, no. I used to try "applying" for them but I couldn't deal with acting so fruity and fake in my apps anymore. I have a bunch of nicely painted pets with a crapton of NC outfits, though.

I was mostly kidding about selling my accounts off--I'm too paranoid of a person to get into that stuff. Maybe one day I'll go back to it but honestly, besides the pet trade industry, it's pretty boring. My daily routines of Habitarium/games got dull and I already got all the pets I wanted (besides a UC baby kougra... but I realized I'd probably never get one).

uc baby kougras are cute! they're fairly common I think (or they were, once upon a time...dunno about now)

Oh man I use to apply for UCs too - but there's always some person who can draw/code or whatever better and it was just a colossal waste of time :/ and so many fosters just wanted attention. the PC bothers me too haha everyone just wants to trade up. or get a real name pet. :/

the lag is really killing neo right now - it takes me like 5 minutes to just lab one account :/

Yeah, that too. I can't draw at all (unless I copy draw, but that doesn't count) and I know next to nothing about coding. The best I could do was write stories, but I'm sure no one really cared to read all of it. Yeah, a lot of those people just wanted attention. I saw so many of the same boards being abandoned by people saying "I've had enough of the PC!!1 Come adopt my pets!!1 Going to pound ALL OF THEM IN 3...2..." and whatever. Ugh, I forgot all about the real word/real name/4L/5L word pets. Whoever started those trends ruined everything.

Oy, and don't get me started on the elitist avatar collectors.

Maybe I should dump my pets in the pound to make someone happy. Then again, the bots or pound stalkers would probably snatch them up.

neo actually inspired me to get a tablet, so I guess some good did come out of it - i probably would never have started drawing digitally without neo. it actually taught me how to code too haha xD

yeah i never really wrote stories, but some apps i saw actually had some pretty long/detailed stories, and i always thought people who were creative enough to come up with elaborate backstories were really creative! too bad fosters just suck though :/ oh man those boards!! so many people going like "i'll pound if no offers" - such attention seekers. :/ gah neo.

and yeah avatar collectors :/ i remember trying to get a bgc lend and wow it was impossible. still don't have one, even though I've got the mspp avvie.

....my brother used to use a pound bot too xD he got a uc mara grarrl once! it was crazy.

I once got an aubergine chia with a name of like, a____1221___sally__2 or something and I thought it was an amazing catch just because it was a fruit/veggie chia. This was before I started lurking the boards, though. I felt so stupid after I saw what a nightmare the PC actually is and how worthless my chia was, lol.

I think the most "rare" avatar item I ever was chosen to borrow was Meowclops/Chokato.

the pc is just a miserable place. :c too many people desperate for d/uc/ks, and converted pets were are basically nothing :/

hmm, meowclops and chokato were worth a lot!! i think the chokato avive was pretty nice, i rocked it for a while haha xD

 

[Isabella]

ah Neopets....

I tried getting my account back 387483 times, customer service is nonexistent even if you email and all that crap. I always wanted to log on just one more time i don't remember the pass at all.
my first username was 12kacheeks, i made a lot more after that though. i still have the same email so i have no idea why they never emailed me back. sad.

 

[Pokemanz]

I actually forgot about Neopets loooong ago. I think my username was MiiMan4 or something like that lol.

It used to be my obsession for like a few years. Then I stopped playing and now I don't even remember anything...

Except that it was the shizzle.

 

[kasane]

My childhood right there.
Damn now that I look at it, my username and Neopet names are ******** as hell >~>

They all dying/dead rip

Oh the memories.

So I actually just checked on those pets I was talking about, and now I get a 404 when I click on them.
Looks like after all these years they FINALLY got rid of my account or my pets or something... took them long enough.

Yeah, I don't suggest it. They're pretty strict about that.
I dunno, I don't think it's a big deal, but I guess if you're a company you probably want all that money for yourself and you don't want people to profit off it.
