please tell me I'm not the only one that used to have a neopets account back in the day
 
I feel bad for my poor neopet ;___; poor thing must be starving by now

.... it's a shame I actually don't remember what kind I had. I think it was an Aisha or a Shoyru.

Nina April 24th, 2019 4:38 PM

my name was along the lines of neo1234567888 because I didn't understand the concepts of usernames apparently. I had a few neopets, paintbrushed too but they've been lost to time.

colours April 24th, 2019 4:53 PM

just tried to recover my old account and like



of course I wouldn't remember my old username .-.

Kitty April 24th, 2019 7:00 PM

I still know my old account and feed them from time to time

I was SO PROUD i had a Lutari for a pet ok

Brendino April 24th, 2019 10:17 PM

Just checked my account, and all of my pets are dying of hunger, but they're cheerful, so at least they've got that going for them.

I also love that I was looking through my friends over there, and my dad signed in just a couple of months ago. He used to do the December advent calendar on there with me and my sister every year, but I had no idea he was still doing it 15 years later, haha

Caite-chan April 24th, 2019 10:57 PM

I remember spending hours upon hours playing on Neopets. I've had so many of them. I don't know about my very first one though.

yes it launched in 1999

I dunno personally I wouldn't recommend neopets how it is now (they got sold to a really sketchy company or something so), maybe it's just me but I found it a lot more fun years back. might be boring for you now but I mean go and knock yourself out.

edit: in fact dont even bother mostly because neopets just isnt what it used to be these days. but you're still free to check it out, I suppose.

ZeoStar April 25th, 2019 5:19 PM

It was something I played with my older siblings. I was never quite as into it, and eventually only played the games on it without caring about anything else.

I would love to know my account, but I have no idea what it is.

Edit:

I went back to play the games. All the ones I played as a kid are in "graveyard" and labelled as horrible, humorously.

There was that one I played all the time, I believe Faerie Caves. Except I can't find the level editor. :-(. It doesn't look as great as I remember it either.

I feel like some of the pages are either broken or maybe just the layout isn't as great as I remember it, either. Neopia Central refuses to load, and I thought it was my browser just being funky, so I tried every other browser I had to no avail.

Some of the Neopia maps won't even load for me either. I don't know if it's still on my end or the site's end, but it really puts a huge damper on the experience.

I feel like a lot more care was taken in the website before it was sold off. Nowadays, it's just kind of a shell of what it used to be. ._.

It's not just you- I tried going through the map of Neopia last night, and every other map I went to wouldn't load and I'd have to close down my browser. I know the site's been sold off 2 or 3 times in the past couple of years, so I have to assume there isn't as much care going into it as their once was.

It's a shame, because while I don't think I would ever get back into it full time, it was still fun popping by every once and a while just to check how things were going.

Kitty April 25th, 2019 6:46 PM

Remember when there used to be cool story events that gave out cool prizes for participating?

The last time that happened was long ago iirc :( neopets really is just a shell of what it used to be. They had so many missed opportunities, like what lutari island was and it was only for a really reallyold neopets mobile premium thing

Man

Its really sad

it really is a shame....

Sylphiel April 26th, 2019 10:19 AM

I used to have an account...or few, I think I made an account, didn't like the name after a while, then made another one.

Unfortunately, I didn't visit for years and years and it looks as though they were purged, because uh, yeah. Apparently neither of those account names exist now.

I'm actually tempted to make a new account and poke around, hmm...

Edit: They have an owlbear pet now?? Okay I know what I'm making for my first pet on this new account then, homg.

Noblejanobii April 26th, 2019 10:31 AM

I actually got a new account like a year or so ago and got a Poogle. I haven't visited the account in years but Poogle was always my favorite Neopet so it was a dream come true to get one.

Fairy April 26th, 2019 6:15 PM

I have heard about this site since the dawn of my time on the internet and never checked it out. Feels like I missed out on something really neat tbh!

starseed galaxy auticorn April 26th, 2019 7:58 PM

Neopets... oh god. Yeah, I admit that I used to be part of that. I've tried to play more recently, but it's so boring now that you have to pay real money and shit to get anywhere. Not only that, but everything is so overpriced. D:

Juno May 9th, 2019 11:33 PM

YALL NEOPETS WAS THE REASON I BEGGED MY PARENTS TO GET THE INTERNET
back when The Internet™ was not a common household thing

My cousin introduced me to it once and I was like I need my own internet so I can play more than once a week

My first account was _pheonix156_ and then I had a bunch of side accounts too, it's hard to log back into those cause I was not old enough to play when I first made those accounts and I put a fake birthday in, which, if you can't remember makes it impossible to retrieve your account so rip

Palamon May 10th, 2019 4:44 PM

I had over ten neopets accounts, actually.

The only one I can access has my full birth name, so I won't share it. :') I've been playing again recently, and they increased the amount of Neopets you can have to five. (Six if you pay). While, as an adult, the game is kinda silly to me, I still enjoy it.

...Although I have like four Kacheeks on my account and whatever the fish one is, and that's it. I think my preference is very clear.

you should've gotten into it omg ;_;

i mean nowadays it's bad but before it was the shit

Cherrim May 11th, 2019 7:23 PM

My very first Neopets account, probably from 2000, got frozen for some reason. I never did figure out why and I lost the email to the account soon after making it so once I was locked out of it, that was it. I also lied about my birthday so years later when they implemented the option to contact staff to regain access to an account, I couldn't verify my birthday. I was 11 when I made the account and lied about being... well, I'd hoped I'd lied about being 13, but apparently not because staff told me that wasn't the birthday I used LOL. So oh well.

I have one or two other accounts that I tried over the years but I was never as into it. Sometimes I still go play the games here and there, though. I like the time-limit cooking one.

Sheep May 13th, 2019 5:11 AM

ffsjjssj how did I miss this thread??
http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml?user=speech

Here is my account! Had an older one from 2000 or so myself, but was frozen right before customization came out (2006 or 2007?) because I was using an autorestocker. lol
Don't do that anymore of course, though I also don't play at all. I only ever log in to spin the daily wheel that gives money and because I love my pets too much!

I might have killed for your username 15 years ago

also kjhfkldf are those UC plushie pets

Sheep May 14th, 2019 3:16 AM

wow
ahah I actually didn't think of that username myself, my friend gave me the account after mine was frozen since she quit. The pets and such are all mine though! Account itself was near empty when I got it. My previous username was voice, and man I miss it ; ; Nowadays five characters is too short for a username, so I can't remake it again (was purged after a while since it was banned).

And ya :3c I love my UC babies!

Juno June 9th, 2019 12:30 PM

update: after seeing this thread and then seeing this video pop up on my YouTube feed (this guy is hilarious btw I recommend) I started playing again lmao


And so I picked back up on this account - it's an account I made in 2016 and clearly abandoned without doing anything, but I'ma start painting and customizing my pets soon since I like their names - not going to be actively playing but I'll def play with the stock market and food club bets for easy np

My plans so far are

Klemen > Baby Draik
Misagon > Maraquan Cybunny
Vorzia > Mutant Peophin

Ys September 15th, 2019 7:32 PM

I did make an account once upon a time. My Neopet was a pegacorn, though I don't remember the species name anymore. But she was yellow with blue eyes.

The minigames were fun and my favorite was a turn-based board thing were you had villagers you has to defend and as you defeated enemies they became allies, and every different species had their strengths and items they could pick. Don't remember the name of the game, but if I ever found it again I'd only play that one.
