Title: Neopets? Or other pet sites?
Post by: RLisa on August 01, 2020, 11:03:30 AM
So does anyone play Neopets or maybe any other pet sites? I just gained access to my old neopets account and found some cool pets in the pound to start over again (even a cybunny!)
Still waiting for a response to my ticket to get access to another account I've had. With only 6 pets per account it's so easy to be out of space.

And I also have an account on flightrising, but lately I'm not that active anymore. What I love about FR is that the breeding system works well and the frequent gene updates.

I love both Neo and Marapets, but I don't play either too often right now. I do have small spurts of activity though, my Neo account is Tacocurlydog and is from when I was in 4th grade! My Marapets is Eyegauze.

Yes, actually! I played Neopets for the first time in 2007 and couldn't get into it, and tried several times after. I can't recover my account since I lost the email it's tied to, so I made a new one. I'm having a lot more fun this time around! My username is ludivs.

I play Flight Rising too! I log in daily to gather food and feed my dragons, grind for festival currency if it's available. I can't believe I've been on this site for five years!

I have a couple of gene projects to work on, namely my birthday hatch from this year!

Isn't she beautiful? A week before my birthday I found a nature egg while gathering, and being a nature clan I was excited about that. So I hatched it on my birthday and really lucked out! I hatched one of my many nocturne eggs too but didn't like what came out. :lookround:

I'll add you both on neo :)

tailrustedtealeaf - wow that's an old account! Wish I remembered what email/name I used for my first account. I had not heard from marapets before,  the pets look cute!

Ragamuffin  - I've the same , somehow neopets seems easier to get into after a hiatus.
Wow what a lucky hatch! Congrats! What is the primary color? Hatching noc eggs is always so tempting, I always stuff them in my vault asap haha

I play PonyIsland :) I think I've been there for 9 years now. It's a lot of fun! Here is my Raincurl mimic, I made her tattoo.

Way back in the day I think I had a neopets account. I never really got into it though. My main thing was the Catz/Dogz/Petz games. I was really into Petz II, making my own breeds, interacting with the community. Those were good times.

She's black/vermilion/carrot! At first I wasn't too impressed until I scryed (scried?) her! Right now she's still a tundra, but she has blend and I got her mosaic as soon as it came out. I planned her to have tiger first!

I have a misticpets, subeta, and flightrising account. However Misticpets is pretty dead, and honestly havent checked my account in over a year :/ when the owner abandoned it, a lot of people stopped being active. Subeta is fun, but I havent had the time to commit to much of anything this year. Im fairly active on FR though, My name is Madoni there. (actually i think its the same on all 3 of those lol)

Wow Raincurl looks great! Don't know those websites, I'll do some research :) seems like they're so many pets sites I haven't discovered yet

Oh I thought it was coal or something in the red or reddish brown range! Didn't know black had those accent colors, looks great. She will be a beautiful ridgie!

Aw sorry to hear that about misticpets, that sounds very sad when you're enjoying a game and the owner stops.
I added you on FR :)

I used to play Marapets! My favourite pets from there are Yunis (edgy, fun-sized unicorns!), Sybris (one-eyed, fun-sized smiling zebras!) and Strayas (poodle-unicorn sorta critters that look straight from Lady Lovely Locks!)

I think I remember having a neopets account YEArrrrrs ago but I didn't continue it.

I also play ponyisland and have been for a long time (2006).

This lovely was born a few days ago (one of my breeding pair finally produced)

PonyIsland looks like it has gorgeous art. I'm not really active on any pet sites now. Most recent one is FlightRising. Started with a total of 3 Neopets accounts, then DragonCave, MagiStream, Lioden very very briefly and oh there's another whose name I can't remember that I was briefly on as well. The trick to MagiStream was posting in a thread in the forum that was for clicking the pets of the person above you so everyone could help each others' pets hatch and grow and there was a Firefox add on called Multi Links that was quite handy for clicking many pets at once. It's a wonder Firefox didn't crash with all those opened tabs.

I played PI a lot between 2006 (I actually joined new year's day 2006, apparently, according to my first starter's birthdate) and 2008. Then I left the site completely...until lockdown this spring.

So between lockdown and people (for people read KTU >.>) talking about PI to me, I ended up going back and starting over. Although it's not really starting over because I had a ton of help and Uni had some of my original ponies safe for me <3.

 It's a lot more complex and fancy than when I used to play it, with a bunch more breeds and genes.

I am horizongreen on neopets and just hit 18 years there so long time player, and I have four sides 31 pets in all and dang I wish I could adopt more. If you are looking for certain pets go to lost and pound for stuck pets you can view them by species.

Oh, reminds me I did try to go pound surfing once! It was. Tedious. Not a ton of good critters. Lost my list a bit later, too. I use the excel sheet layout for mass-uploading wikia images now.

I probably haven't fed Pronking, my baby Kau, in about 6 years  >_<
I just got frustrated playing Neopets when they expanded into making you spend real money if you wanted to keep up and get special stuff.   No thanks.
I can't even remember how to sign in tbh.

I like Rescreatu. Not much in the way of games, but the pets are really cool, and the seasonal events are fun. You can collect as many pets as yiu want, too, and it's really easy to make money, lol. I'm at 24 mill and i go shopping all the time. The people are nice, but its definitely a low key site. Good for so gamers who don't really want to spend a lot of time on it. Ooooh, and avatar dress up is fun. There's lots of clothes to collect and wear.

Neopets has its Charity Corner event going on, not too interested though. The game still feels stagnant.
I did try Dappervolk for the first time tonight, it's quite fun! It looks to be fit to play on mobile, too.

I've been spending some time on dappervolk and used to frequent chicken smoothie and flight rising, but I've rather fell off the pet site train. I'm so bad at remembering to get online and check pets and seasonal events etc. So many of these sites I'd not heard of before- pony island looks super cute! Might have to give it a go myself.

I used to play Neopets a lot.  I set up some accounts for my niece and nephews (for a total of 4 accounts including mine) when they were little so I could help them with the games and recently (like a year ago) I tried to access the accounts (because I know they aren't using them without me--I always had to log them in) to condense down to my main account and a second that has the lab ray for zapping and pounding random pets but apparently in the time that I didn't ever log in to Neopets (we're talking several years) 2 of the accounts got locked and I have never been answered in my requests to have them unlocked.  I don't know why they were locked since I never logged in on them and never received notification that they were being locked during that time and I can't get anyone to respond to my requests so I've kind of not bothered with it.  It all happened between the time Nickelodeon bought them and  now so I have no idea what's been happening on there.

I used to play Neopets, Club Penguin, Gaia Online, Webkinz, IMVU, and all sorts of online roleplaying/pet games. Club Penguin was by far my favorite and I tried the copycat ones for a while (until I heard some unsavory things about the guy who made the copycat site). I tried getting back into Neopets but with Flash dying, it doesn't work well lately.
For more modern, active games, I second Dappervolk! Very cute game!

Pokeyonekenobie - a few years ago there was some sort of data/security breach on Neopets - honestly can't remember all the details now, but the end result was that a lot of innocent people got their accounts frozen "for protection". Yeah... good idea, until the mods refuse to give accounts back to their rightful owners >_> One of my accts got banned too, had to fight for months to get it back. At one point the Neoboards were full of threads where people were waiting for their accounts to be unfrozen, it was ridiculous. I'd bet that's what happened with your accounts :( Sorry to hear about that.

I had a look at Dappervolk just from curiosity of the name from this conversation :D
THe art is really cute, but the site is very counterintuitive in a lot of ways and there seem to be a lot of things limited to doing x or y rather than a more free kind of play. I'm not sure yet what I think of it overall. It seems like it could be amazing if it just tweaked around with a few things :)

Neopets is actually where I got this username. Six is one of my favorite numbers and I think what happened is "Hannah6" wasn't available and it offered me other options and I somehow ended up here. XD My account is 15 years old.  :blink: Ever since neopets sold out I haven't played much since the site's never been the same. A few pages from the site still make my list of daily clicks but that's about it.

I also play Subeta and have been semi-regularly since 2009. Same username. I technically joined others here or there but never stayed long. I always meant to try more on misticpets - I'm sad to hear it's dead now.  :( I hear about flight rising and dappervolk every so often but have never really investigated. I came across a lion themed one too but I wasn't big on the artstyle. I also play goatlings, under the username Cherished.

I miss my gaia account but I haven't been able to access it for years.  >_< From what I can tell the site isn't the same as it was when I played more a decade ago.

I also really, really enjoyed this site called neurogalaxy and it just... up and closed with no warning to any of us and that still kind of hurts.  :pout:

I remember gaia but I didn't know it still existed. I think that was probably even before I first played PI...I seem to remember messing around with it a bit but it was a very long time ago.

Post by: Ragamuffin on November 17, 2020, 05:27:10 PM
I first played Gaia in 2009, and it's definitely not the same, I think. I'm not so interested in Gaia anyway because of its focus on forums rather than gameplay but you can't go 3 minutes without getting a message about how you need to buy Gaia Cash because it's on sale or that certain premium items are back in stock, etc. I picked it back up early 2018 and the forums were full of people complaining about the amount of messages they were getting from the staff to buy Cash and buy premium items. :huh:

There's also a couple different subscription services. Like when I was playing in 2018 there was this "donation" type deal ("Angel Subscription"?) where if you donated some money every month you would get special bits of flair on your name in the forums. And now that I'm on the front page, they're introducing something called "Kitten Star perks"/a "perk" subscription? I don't know what that means but it wants me to log in to find out.

They had to switch the main currency from Gold to Platinum because of how many people were hacking in money and causing prices to inflate to ridiculous amounts. I'm talking 1 platinum : 10 million gold. That's right, if something worthless is worth 25p, that means it would've been 250 million gold, which was unobtainable since you would only get like 20 or so gold per forum post.

ZOMG is pretty much dead as far as I can tell, but they added a Pokemon-like game called Lake Kindred. It's good to grind for items but it's easy to get high-level monsters which totally breaks the game. And last time I checked, the items are always the same. They're gacha/lootbox-style but the pool of items is the same and they haven't changed what drops. I can't imagine any of those items being worth that much money as a result.
