Well, that's going to make the Altador Cup even more tedious than normal, isn't it?? The team chats are full of off-topic nonsense inbetween scoring and suchlike. I remember having a full discussion about what we did whilst also playing endless SOSD last year that divolved into a full book recommendation list... Are they trying - I mean, really, actively trying - to destroy the site? I don't spend much time on the boards admittedly, but many of those who do are the most committed long standing players. Why are they trying to chase them away!? And child friendly until we look at the NC Malls Gatcha mechanics with capsules. Spend a fortune to not necessarily get the items you want and gamble on a low chance of getting the special edition item. Exactly how is that child friendly??

Hi everyone! I've been on a neo hiatus since 2017 but got the itch again. Feel like I missed a lot yet it's still nice and familiar! Glad to be back.

I wanted to make a few people aware of this in case people didn't know, but I believe that it is important enough information for people, especially those that use the boards. Neopets has changed a bunch of their chat rules, or rather are starting to enforce things more harshly as to what you can and cannot talk about. According to this post here; many users have been reporting getting warnings & bans/freezes for discussing non-neopets related things after TNT had allowed such chats in the Newbie Board on the Neoboards. The Newbie Board/Chat use to be a pretty big space for general chatting between users and has been that way for a couple of decades now. If you scroll down a little bit further in the above mentioned post you can see more detailed information. To paraphrase; Neopets is owned by a company called Netdragon who has a CEO who is an AI and it recently deleted the accounts of Adam and Donna who were the LITERAL creators of Neopets, shortly after that the Newbie Board got re-vamped/changed to "New to Neopets" and a "General Discussion" board was put up that users have been asking for a while for. Excited to see this board up many user went over to it and began posting away. About a day later TNT makes up a new rule with no official warning that we cannot talk about anything none related to neopets on the boards, including non-neopian related clothing and food! If you even so much as mention a hat it must be a neopets hat. This is an ACTUAL example given by a staff member Alice, which I will post a screenie of below. They then began freezing & issuing warnings to people that posted non-neopet related things on the board called general discussions. After days of people contacting TNT wondering why the warnings, bans, etc were happening they FINALLY made an announcement saying; no non-neopets talk is allowed on ANY of their boards & that they started freezing & warning people on the newbie chat for posts that were made days before the rules changed & this is all because neopets wants to be 100% child friendly. (Yet they're selling wine glasses in the merch shop, have had irl events at bars and many not-so-child friendly items, references and events LOL) I don't really know what this means for guilds or personal DM's as the message from Alice does specifically say "OUR BOARDS", so guild may still be safe for general discussion as although they are on neopets, they're not official boards, but I am not sure if this is actually the case. Same goes for DM's, I would hope/assume they are, but I have no real idea or any way to really know. I just know that this will cause a lot of people to move to chatting offsite for sure. (If they weren't ALREADY doing that.)

Relic Items

Yeah, I can understand that haha, it is a bit much. On one hand, I do feel like the rubies compliment the dark colors of the Relic design, but at most they could just do a few gemstones laid into the body, like they've been chipped away and hiding underneath the stone. Ignoring the big eyesores, this one isn't so bad. I like the little fern near it hehe. The Luperus outfit is quite cool! It's just a red velvet Cerberus doggy! And, similar to the Kougra Day idea, there's a new set of other wearables, also in 4s! Each are cute in their own way, the Chia one is a bit creepy when you think about it, but I like that they try to keep it cute anyway lol. A... creative day, to say the least, Lupes!

Well, that made all the difference! Thanks, I couldn't figure why I had such a hard time but that explains it. Thanks for the help.

I would be really interested to know what the average Neopets user's age is. I'm guessing it's mostly adults. (But then again, maybe that's just who I associate with.) Regardless, this decision makes approximately zero sense; the rules that were already in place about what you could and couldn't discuss on the boards seemed sufficient to me to keep things from getting "too" "real-life". I was so excited that TNT has started to be more openly inclusive and mindful of LGBTQ+ people and disabled people. But this feels like a HUGE step backward. And how is it more "child friendly" to punish people for talking about absolutely anything non-NP-related? I feel like a rule like that is harder for kids to follow than adults.

Oh, I'm definitely around for the nostalgia now. I had a long hiatus and came back during COVID and lockdowns in 2020. Spent a small fortune on the site - I'm really not joking. I went from virtually no NC to most of my wishes complete and a trading list that still makes me wonder how much I really spent... (http://impress.openneo.net/user/44099-Secre/closet). I spent hours on the site collecting 100k from Flash games Monday to Friday. Managed All-Star 2020, Double All-Star 2021 and then started to lose interest in 2022 only managing level 14. Now... I spend months without playing and even when I am 'active' like now, it's mostly half an hour for dailies and occasional NC trading. There just isn't much to do on the site and it's boring. With that in mind, why oh why are they restricting one of the few areas of the site that actually works further!? I'm clearly out of the loop as I just found the Sorry Mummy Sorry thing stupid when I clicked on it. Not sure I want to Google it to find out why it's inappropriate though! ... You aren't even meant to have a Reddit account until you are 13 years of age. So how is linking it child friendly!? Oh, TNT have been making bad decision after ban decision lately. NFT's aren't really their fault. But the chaos of the AC, games that hadn't been fixed since the previous year when they were broken, rampant cheating and shadow bans definitely were. As is the new policy of requiring access to the ORIGINAL email used to set neopets up if you can't gain access to your account. Even my BANK doesn't require that and my bank has my actual pay cheque being deposited into it! People set accounts up as children. They used parental emails, discarded emails, emails that have long since been defunct as the server that hosted them no longer exists. If they have updated their account settings, then the current email is what should be required. Then you have the lack of events (Charity Corner), broken promises (Premium sale)... and now this. It's seriously like they want to destroy the site.

Yeah I'm with Faerieland and we always talk about stuff like that too around AC season. Heck there's even the premium boards which is a bunch of nonsense and the word associate game that goes on both on premium and regular boards. They also have encouraged players to go on reddit too, even though you can't talk about reddit on the site. They made a "Sorry Mommy Sorry" meme on their official Tik Tok (which is highly inappropriate), can look at the comments on that one with people getting upset and saying "I'd get frozen for saying this on the boards". I mean even the april fools joke this year! Plot about staff members being brutally murdered, got neopets that eat other neopets, items that are highly questionable xD There's been board that have also been allowed to stay up (PUBLIC BOARDS) about BDSM and the like. So I don't really know what they're doing. I've been a huge supporter of Neo and still will be around, but at this point I mainly stay for the nostalgia and for the people I've met along the way. I like to give the staff some slack cause I know their a small team with a HUGE player-base, I mean even after the possible AC soft-bans/shadow-bans last year, NFT and data leak scandal, I still was like "let's not be so harsh guys, the main neo team didn't want the NFT's" but it's like come on guys, I'm trying to give ya the benefit of the doubt, throw us a bone LOL Today's news post is even telling people to go onto the reddit. O.o

You have the best luck with the petpet ray! It seems your petpet changes almost daily.

Could be worse, I suppose! Looking forward to Lupe and Hissi day. I may have to create a Hissi for an eventual baby pet...

Whoa... did it actually work? Sure looks like it. Your Petpet has been transformed. Imagine that.

Several gross foods, but a decent yield nonetheless.

I didn't screen shot the neggs today but I got a Neopia Negg and here's what I got! Also the Hop and Dyes last day for the 1st Negg and I got and a bonus prize I activated the next Negg and the 1st prize is

I've been trying games I never play here is the latest! It's an easy game and I don't know why I never played it.

It's not just you. I also thought hoodie strings!! I had a Kougra. But I painted it Faerie as a teen... and got hit by the Invisible RE when playing NQ not long after. So he was Cloud for a loooooooooooong time. Then Camoflage when I got bored. And I eventually morphed him into an Oilpaint Ixi (with the Zombie Tux for special occasions). I now love him waaaaaaay too much to morph him back to a Kougra. So it's new pet time! Although I'm after the giant ball of floof!

Ehhh. What in the whole world are they doing to Relics?! I feel like the last few have been just awful, IMO. This gives mad haunted woods vibes, until you get to the tail?! I rarely complain on here, but I've been waiting on a Relic Lupe for years - and this is NOT what I was looking forward to AT ALL lol

Yeah, I have 8000 NAKR which I'm holding. I only saw the SMUG high as I keep certain quantities depending on how high it goes: 500 for 60+, 250 for 70+, 50 for 80+... possibly need a 5 category for 100+....

Should have held off before selling SMUG. Think I sold at 70 something. It's now over 100. Doh!

I now have a whole lot of bath bombs for the weekends efforts. And a polar lights effect for today. Still need the darn book!
