TOPIC | ...Neopets...
Recently made a neopets account for fun since I haven't played it for actual years. Uh here's two sketches of my neopets on MSpaint. [url=https://ibb.co/gRx9kjp][img]https://i.ibb.co/0Gx2HDS/neopets.png[/img][/url] Sprout's full name is Sproutea or something and TapuFini's is more keysmashey. I got Tapu from the pound (who couldn't pass up on that name) and Sprout is just a weird dog I made who has a wig. Anyways please tell me about your neopets if you have/had any! I am in a very neopets mood atm.

Oh oh! I’ve got a dark lil’ Neovian Eyrie with a Baby Gelert sister! :D They’re also related to one of my friend’s Neopets; another Eyrie.
And then I have a Shenkuu princess Xweetok, a kinda-goddess Pteri, and a Lady-knight Draik ^^

...and you reminded me that I should probably do some art for the Beauty Contest though I’ll only win if there’s less than three entries in that species...

Ooh, I love them. I was super into Neopets for a while, I even have an UC Darigan Eyrie I traded for who was my pride and joy. I loved Eyries and Draiks the most and had a bunch of them too.

It's such a shame Neopets is a bit dead in the water; compared to FR the site seems like it's stuck in the past. I spent so many hours there and I would love a revival or a Neopets Classic website where things were like the old days.

I was really into Neopets for like... half my life, lol. Approximately ages 5-15 my life was dedicated to Neo, and I would still pick it back up for a little while every so often after that if I was feeling nostalgic enough. I still have my original account though I don't go on it much anymore, as well as a bunch of old plush and other merch stored at a relative's house. I used to be so obsessed with painting my pets, collecting stuff on the site, and playing the flash games. I still have so much odd Neopets knowledge and trivia stored in my head, no joke.

I really wish the site wasn't such a mess in its current state though :( I check in every now and then to make sure all my stuff's still there because account hacking is such a big issue (who stores passwords in plaintext??). I also don't give my username out anywhere because of this. I don't even have anything super valuable like UC or RWN pets but still. Apparently the site has also experienced a lot of downtime recently. I hate to be negative about something that was in my life for so long, but it's really starting to show that Neopets is on borrowed time and hasn't had any major updates in at least a decade. I miss the charm of retro Neopets, and I especially miss Key Quest (aka the one really good thing that came out of the Viacom era) and I don't think it's ever coming back at this point even though the current site owners said they wanted to try and revive it :(

I don't want to be a complete downer so I'll share a funny-in-hindsight Neopets anecdote. Many years ago, there was an event where every pet on the site was turned into an Asparagus Chia for the site creator's birthday. This wasn't really explained in the New Features or anything and I guess I was too young to know how to just... Google it or look offsite for info. I got really upset about it and spent all my 100k that I was saving for a paintbrush (a lot of money for a really young player back then) to change my pet back to normal only for it not to work. I was distraught at the time but now I can look back at it and laugh ~15 years later.

At least I have Flight Rising to get my virtual pet fix for now though. Geneing and breeding project dragons kind of gives me that warm nostalgia feeling of painting and morphing pets haha. Funny thing is, FR was recommended to me on an outside forum while chatting about the current state of Neo.

My account is probably deleted by now lol

I sunk so much time and energy into it though that I'm too scared to check. I had a UC mutant buzz, I remember.

I still play Neopets though I haven't been as involved as I used to be. My main account is ezel68. On that account I have: Narineth the white Skeith, the pet I've owned the longest. I adopted him from the Pound as a blue Skeith with starter Battledome stats several years ago, and since then I've trained him up substantially. He's one of my most spoiled pets. [img]http://pets.neopets.com/cp/vngq9lm3/1/4.png[/img] Skerrit the Halloween Ixi, a more recent addition. I quite like Halloween Ixis and was able to get her through a morphing potion. She's named after the god of centaurs and satyrs in the DnD Forgotten Realms setting. [img]http://pets.neopets.com/cp/lzzwjzxm/1/4.png[/img] xweetok_uchiha_00 the Pirate Xweetok, whom I adopted from the Pound with exceptional Battledome stats. Level 50-ish and all his stats in the even 100s. He became my secondary Battledome pet, and I've written a number of Neopian Times stories about his escapades as a Defender of Neopia. [img]http://pets.neopets.com/cp/lzs78r2o/1/4.png[/img] Zaffy1743 the UC Darigan Scorchio, whom I adopted from the Pound in March 2010. I was taken aback when I saw her while Pound surfing, and even more surprised when I was successfully able to adopt her. She's the only UC I've ever owned and the only one I plan to own. Getting a UC nowadays is nigh impossible. [img]http://pets.neopets.com/cp/9tztzj34/1/4.png[/img] Zombovi the Halloween Elephante. I fell in love with Halloween Elephantes when they first came out but I was never able to get my hands on one, until the fifth pet slot opened up. Also the Halloween PB is super expensive, and since Hallo Elephantes are so rare, I wasn't able to adopt one from someone else. [img]http://pets.neopets.com/cp/4n5g3jt9/1/4.png[/img] Other pets of mine I quite like: Mitatron the Starry Lutari, who lives on my labbing account. I am the sort to zap pets into a desirable color/species and then rehome them, and Mitatron was to be one of those pets. But on Christmas Day 2016, she zapped into a Lutari, so I just had to keep her. [img]http://pets.neopets.com/cp/jbt562kt/1/4.png[/img] Nachtlich the zombie Blumaroo, my first real crosspaint customization. He's Zombie/Royal and boy howdy was that expensive. But dang if he doesn't look good. [img]http://pets.neopets.com/cp/8v78q62m/1/4.png[/img]
