Overall, a horrible addictive game that you will wish you had never known of.
It interrupts your schooling and work (if you're an adult)
The games are the biggest jokes.
The NeoBoards are pack full of show-offs and n00bs
It's so commercial, it's not funny
The staff don't give a shit about you.
It's full of bugs and glitches
If you get frozen for a glitch, it is 1% likely that they will unfreeze you.
It's got enough scammers and spammers to make you scream.
If you like it now, you'll hate it later.
How do I know?
Cause I used to be a Neopian.
I used to love it.
I used to spend countless hours on it.
Until I realised,
"What a waste of time"

Neopets is a load of bullshit.

a pretty fun virtual game. But now people are being frozen for saying things on the neoboards like " is anyone giving up a chomby to the pound" which is a perfectly non-offensive post. Then the neopets team will come along and say "you have been frozen for trying to steal peoples pets." Tell Adama Powell he can go fuck his asparagus chias for all i care. And i hate report-happy people.
Person who posted this message:" will someone give me a (insert nameof item here) for a quest?"
Report-happy person: " reported for scamming"

A site ive been playing for several years. It used to be excellent, but then prices have gone WAY too high, it is too oversencored, has many n00bs, and is addicting, you often get frozen for no reason, and took over my life. Lately all theyve cared about is money and advertisement. Escpecially since theyve sold it to viacom. Im ashamed to be addicted and still play it :(

A really fun game back in around 1999-2004 and was favored my people of all ages until it broke away no long ago. Here are a few reasons why it sucks now:
1. Overadvertising. Ads everywhere. One big one on the bottom, one big one on the top, one on the side, and NOW they even have one in their flash game popups!
2. Lies. They freeze your account, and when you ask for it back, they go "Sorry we cannot retrieve it because its been inactive for too long" (that was the excuse they gave me)
3. They are greedy. First it was the Neopets merchandise, didn't work out. Then it was Neopets premium, didn't work out. Then they made sidebars and avatars, didn't work out so they basically retired sidebars and all avatars since none even come out anymore. NOW they have NC Cash Shop and Mall so you can dress your Neopets in clothes. Everything new requires real money. If you don't have real money, they will spare you a free 150 NC to spent on a piece of crap. Too many hassles, advertisement links and ads!!!!
4. Annoying. First it was the game. They keep renaming games from "Whack A Kass" to "Kass Basher", "Whack a Staff Member" to "TNT Staff Smasher" and the "Scratchcard Kiosk" to "Ice SC Kiosk" They even change the old games they were fun. Now their new games take forever to load on dialup (so you better have some good internet) Has stupid annoying music, and have stupid intros that you can't skip and take forever to start the game. Games are now more complicated and more annoying. Doesn't always send score the time you want it to, so you'd have to play the game AGAIN.
4. Ugly interface. Other than the addition of 1090848322 more ads on the page, the interface is ridiculous. I do not need to see my active Neopet everywhere. Go to my items, see my pet's picture two times, go to references, see my pet's picture three times. Is this necessary?! What happened to the simple text links?? Games page is overloaded with images when it could have been that simple four category that it had years ago. Userlookups look disgusting now, you can hardly customize it anymore. They add unnecessary features such as the stupid "intro box" in the the items section which makes it even more cluttered and changed pictures that do not need to be changed.
5. Staff members are corny. They choose the worse jokes for contests, the most stupid and most obvious questions to answer, posts compliments by users but never complaints to fix, and in certain contests, they choose actual pictures taken with a camera instead of nicely done digital art work. My art took longer to do than the person's stupid Hershey bar with a hat on it! They change the Neopets to stupid poses with the fist as if the Neopet is angry (I HATE THIS POSE) and now all the pets look corny and stand the same way.
Don't be surprised by all the retired paint brushes and potions, they obviously want you to spend in their NC shop rather than paint your pet. This website is NOT for kids and is ridiculous! Been there since 2000, and it was fun for about 4-5 years and now it SUCKS. Take my advice and walk away from it.

I stopped playing Neopets because they were being unfair and over advertised everywhere on their pages!

A virtual pet site that started in 1999. Its main objective was for the user to adopt up to four pets of whatever species was available and feed/play with/train them. The currency you used to buy items on the site was called neopoints which could be earned through games, trade, shops, random events, or sexual e-favors to the staff. Thus everyone became a money hungry whore who played games 24/7 because a paintbrush is worth more than their soul and/or social life.
Games include snake, tetris, brick, pong, memory, and bastardized versions of poker, blackjack, horse races, and slot machines. All of which are sure to cause a gambling problem in your child before they reach puberty.
After you waste a month or so playing this (not really) cleverly disguised shit you can go buy 10,000 neopoints worth of imaginary crap that will never appear in your inbox anyway because the site is riddled with glitches no one ever fixes.
You also had the option of communicating with pedophiles, rapists, 14 year old girls, and other assorted neopet members via the neoboards. There were a few different boards such as Trading and Shops where you'd advertise your overpriced shit and hope some 8 year old would buy it, the Quests board where you'd beg people to give you their shit that you needed "for a quest", the Guild board that ran on shameless self promotion and weirdos trying to get you to join their cult, the Roleplay board where you could pretend to be an angsting 13 year old with an alcoholic father or a vampire, and of course the general chat where you could cyber with a horny, balding, middle aged porn addict who says there a 16 year old blonde female. The general chat was taken down after the staff dislodged their heads from their asses for two seconds to see what the hell was going on there.
Now everyones on the Evil Things And Monster Sightings board where the majority of users complain about emo, lables, whos goth and whose not, emo, not being a conformist, making fun of conformists, emo, how much they hate "greenday", emo, complaining about "preps" and "posers" even though they hate lables, and ummmmm... Emo. Basically its a magical land filled with hypocrisy and bad grammar.
The basic format of the site has changed dramatically over the years also. It used to be pretty basic with no ads or fancy flashing bullshit. Now in order to access the shops you must have a flash plug in that not everyones computer supports (especially if you live in the ghetto) and put up with 3 annoying bannars every second you're on the frikken site.
Neopets.com also has a strict set of rules to follow if you don't want your account to be frozen or "iced" as I think they're calling it these days. They basically consist of bullshit only idiots would attempt, fall for, or get caught doing. If you actually report anyone for breaking the rules you are a whore.
To sum it up neopets was cute for 3 seconds. Then the communists/capitolists took over.

Neopets... To many it is a site full of excitement; one to be admired. For others, it is a site to be detested.
Neopets, when it first came out, was a really good site. You could play games, take care of your pet, and even chat on the Neoboards. Neo life was good back then. What happened next is amazing.
On June 20th, 2005, Adam and Donna did something that would soon lead to their sites demise. On that fateful day, Viacom bought Neopets from Adam and Donna for $160,000,000.
Ever since Viacom has taken over, there have been no avatars. I do believe the last one was the "Day at the Beach" one, waaaay back in April, '07. Then, shortly after that, the pound closed for maintenance. Then they decided to change the layout of the site, which got hundreds of members flaming mad. Then, the two worthless excuses for a plot. First there was 'The Journey to the Lost Isle' (JTTLI) and another SLOTH plot. *eyeroll*
Site change: From the start of the site, until about late 2007, the layout of the site had the following:
#) A sidebar, with all the links to the different locations (Games, Boards, Shops etc.) along with a topbar which led you to your lookup.
#) Now, there is no sidebar, and everything is smashed into one bar at the top of the screen. Granted, it does look neater, but it caused alot of confusion for a very long time.
#) With the new theme change, contriversy started over how The Neopets Team (TNT) is changing the site, and how it's going to come down soon.
Avatars:
#) Since the last avatar that was released, people have been complaining about TNT not making any new avatars.
#) Most of the complainers are people who consider themselves "1337" or above everyone else.
#) These so called "1337ists" think they can make an off-topic board, and get away with it; but the VERY SECOND someone who isn't in a "special clique" makes an off-topic board, they flame* them.
{*: To flame someone is to use talk that lowers their self-esteem, while attempting to make yourself look cool}
#) Most of the people complaining could still get at least 50-100 of the remaining avatars that they still need.
Pound:
#) Ever since the site took a turn into the 21st century, the pound has been down.
#) Apparently, TNT needed to revamp (or redo) the pound, because they suddenly found it important for pets to have feelings.
#) This also lead to people complaining.
Bonju avatar:
#) There was one new avatar, which apparently was released during the Cyodrake Gaze plot (which might I add, wasn't really a "plot".)
#) People have apparently said that they have gotten the avatar, and then self-froze their account. People that say that, have no lives, and are only seeking attention. If you're dumb enough to believe them, you need help... and FAST!
Neopets Mall (NC Mall):
#) About 1-2 months ago, Viacom decided to open up a new store in Neopia Central, which requires you to buy FAKE money, with REAL money. Seriously... Viacom... couldn't you come up with a less obvious way to scam people of their money.
Insane freezing/rules:
#) Ever since Viacom has taken control, they feel as though they can freeze you for saying a certain pet looks like a celebrity, or something stupid.
#) They REFUSE to freeze the swarm of scammers (both new and old), but they choose to freeze people that have done nothing wrong.
All in all, TNT is/has brought their site to it's own destruction by selling it to that good for nothing company. Granted, it was fun in the first few years, but ever since then, I find the site rather degrading, and I think I actually lost some IQ points for staying on that site as long as I did.

The site called Neopets is so stupid.
by 5hadow March 31, 2008
I have read quiet accurate deffinitions, so I won't describe what is all about.
In my opinion, neopets has always been a rather complicated and unfair game. The difficulty lays in the fact that it is EASIER to make money in the real world, than in neopets world.
Actually, it is not a game fit for people who have a real living, such as works, and studies to take care of. Neopets is far from an entertaining game to distract yourself, since it's so frustrating, and it's an enormous time sucker.
The frustration of it comes with the fact that it is very hard to combine social life with neopian success. It is almost impossible to win at any of the contests, I am a farily good artist, and I never, ever won the art competition (whatever it's called), and was outsmarted by much worse pictures than mine. I never won the beauty contest either, and only once did I win the storytelling.
As far as I remember, you need like millions of neopoints to get a paintbrush, and, in my experience, I was able to get 10,000 np a day, playing several hours.
I must say that I stopped playing neopets for those reasons. I needed to study, and further in the future, I started working. Social life, and neopets can't match.
To make a virtual comunity, well, it's fine. I find it extremely complicated for children, since they are the most competitive.
But as an entertaining game, well, there are other games out there, like the mythical AOE, which is FAR more entertaining than this distorted representation of our actual world.

It is easier to make real money. Real money can be wasted in the following things: Food, a house, a car, a wonderful gift to a loving husband, giving your children the life they deserve.
Neopoints: It is far harder to get them, and waisting your time in neopets means waisting time in real life. Neopoints can be spent in the following: brushes, food, clothes (all virtual, obviously), weapons, etc.
Now choose your priorities. I've chosen.
