Online game started by two English folks. Quite fun I must say, but it takes a lot of time to play and maintain your pets.
Pets generally somewhat resemble real animals, but with a few quirks.

Get the neopetsmug. I have been a member for five years and have not had any problem on neopets at all. It seems like to me the people complaining are the ones who cause trouble or who dont want to work for the neopoints. The rules are strict but they are that way to keep the site clean or atleast try to.

Get the neopetsmug. Neopets is the greatest virtual community in existance. Dispite what a handful of people say, it is NOT dominated by adverts and comercialization, adverts appear on the site to prevent users having to pay to use Neopets. It was founded in 1999 by Adam Powell and Donna Williams, and has expanded to over a billion users worldwide.
The rules on Neopets are fairly strict, but by no means hard to follow; you ARE allowed to have more than one account, but not souly to make neopoints (this is only allowed on your main account), you are not allowed to post offensive comments on the message boards, and the list follows on fairly straight forwardly.
Neopoints (commonly abreiviated) to np is the national currency of Neopets.

Get the neopetsmug. A very addictive virtual pet website. This website is freakin' awesome. You can create up to 4 virtual pets and costomize them by choosing their name, color, species, and more. Neopets has a lot more activites besides taking care of your pets. For example: guilds (A fun pirvate themed club that you can own or join. You can post on guild the board or take part in activities that your guild has. You can only make/own one so choose wisley), shops (buy fun items with your nps), games (earn nps to buy items), more games, games, and a little more games, boards, private messaging, and sooooo sooooo much more!

Get the neopetsmug. Neopets was created for UNI students way back in the 90's. UNI students couldn't own pets, so how about a virtual one!?
Over the years, many websites marapets have actually copied the site. I love neopets. Its fun when you are bored, and great for hand eye coordination.
I dislike people who hate neopets. I love it. And many people do as well.

Marapets: Come on friends, lets go and put a costume on our pet! The look great when they are drawn by 3 year olds!
Neopets: We have actually HIRED staff who CAN draw.. so sad.

Get the neopetsmug. Neopets:
A highly controversial online game.
As already evidenced by previous entries, opinions on Neopets tend to reflect past experiences. There are, of course, some who would immediately reject the game as a spawning-place for lifeless teenaged losers. Those people show up wherever you go, criticizing whatever you do - their opinions certainly don't need to have value in this case.
Speaking as an insider who's had both good and bad experiences with the site since I began playing in 2001, here are some interesting points:
-The Neoboards are terribly, terribly understaffed. As a result, TNT (theneopetsteam) has implemented a user-to-user monitoring system that, in retrospect, was bound to backfire horribly. Neopets needs to put more emphasis on the boards, seeing as how communication is so vital between members - I should know, having chosen a life of neo-isolation. An absolutely *massive* revamp of that system is required for the sake of the site's survival.
-Though some changes have been met with a huge amount of controversy, some have evidently sparked die-hard supporters. The restocking system, for instance, while admittedly giving the upper hand to those with more time and a faster internet connection, has become a very popular game to many of these fans. The wide variety of items and shops ensures constant interest.
-My own account was frozen after three years of playing - I had apparently been 'cheating' using several different accounts to gain Neopoints. Here's a shocker: it was true, and I'll admit it. I just never expected to get caught. My only experience with TNT's Ice-o-matic was justly deserved. But I know full well that such isn't always the case. Once again: you need more staff to handle all these new users you're drawing in with advertising!
Much as the most devoted players become obsessed with the idea of acquiring Neopoints, the Neopets staff, given the image of shiny new publicity for a pet project, has fallen into the river of commercialisation and we're all being pulled downstream...

As with anything, Neopets has both its flaws and perks.
What is horribly frustrating (and totally unforgiveable) is that the Neopets staff refuses to change anything dramatically to better suit the needs of the clients!
