If one thing could change about Neopets, it would be...

[Shiina]

I created my first pet (and thus my best trained pet) when I was 9 years old.. Clearly I wasn't in the right mind and created the most horrific name possible.

If I could change one thing about neopets, it would be to be able to change the name of my neopet :D

 

Any other takers ? :P

1. You could take down a trade as soon as it leaves the newest 20
   
2. Send scores 5 times a day
   
3. I would update a lot of things
   
4. More plots

I approve! (thumbs up)

 

I'd like it if you could change your pet's name or to make them less fussy. -_-

 

And I'd revamp some of the colors.

[vampire_girl]

I agree with dcoolb: Send scores 5 times a day, update a lot of things and more plots! And return to old Yooyuball. Or at least and option where you can choose between mose and keyboard.

 

And have at least 5 or 6 pets!! I want more pets because I love so much pets and colors! Why are they doing this to me?!? :wub_anim:

- remove the color "invisible"

 

- make neopets care for their users

 

- change YYB back

 

- decrease inflation

 

- punish autobuyers and auto-score-senders

 

- have 5 side accounts or be able to adopt 5 pets on each account

[Lydia Trebond]

I would definitely lower inflation, hence the wheel of extravagance. I don't want them to up the number of times you can send scores per day because that would increase inflation.

 

Something that hasn't been mentioned yet: rather than introducing more colors, make all the colors available to all the species, as well as making all the clothes items wearable so there's not a lot of confusion (or at the very least, put some sort of marker on the wearables like with the neohome items).

[Airotia]

The thing that really grinds my gears is the Paint Brush Colors. I think that even if you pound a pet, the pet should keep all of their clothes. XP The clothes of the pet should automatically go in the closet of the person who owns it, not this you pound it, it loses its clothes nonsense.

I agree with this completely. I hate having to play the guessing game with clothing items. I don't even bother buying new clothes, at this point.

[Vaccinated Jedi]

I'd like there to be a school or something so there'd be a reason for the school stuff.

Other unusable stuff to be usable. Like certain clothes.

For all games ot have a mute and pause function.

[Nika]

I would relax the posting rules a little bit. Not that I have the urge to swear or anything like that, but whenever I post on message boards, I'm afraid of inadvertently breaking a rule. I know they want to keep the site clean, and I like that, but I feel sometimes like it's hyper vigilant.

I completely agree with you on this one ,,,

[Tedhaun]

If I were to change some things on Neopets, it would be...

 

1. Disable all bad colour changing events (for those who care about the colour of their pet).

2. Send scores 5 times a day, not just on Neopets' Birthday or the New Game Challenge games.

3. Ban all cookie grabbers.

4. Make all unwearable clothes wearable to pets.

5. Half the price on the Wheel of Extravagance.

6. Own 6 pets rather than 4. I used to see Neopets staff member Adam own 5 pets at one point.

7. Abandoned pets should be able to keep the clothes that they already came with upon creation (I.E.: Bruce Bows, Usul Bows and Ribbons, Elephante Headpieces, all PB clothes, etc.)

[siniri]

Let people somehow delete paintbrush clothes from their closets -- I have a ton for species that I will never own again, because of the lab ray. Perhaps when someone deletes paintbrush clothes, they could send them to the pound to clothe the poor naked babies as they're adopted.

[Nat]

I agree with the relaxing on the board filters. I was silenced for saying moisturiser... I would also change the draik prices these days. and make the option for all players to unconvert their pets.

[Emily]

TNT could make more pets into a loyal user perk. The longer you've been on the site, the more pets you could have. like, one extra per year of membership or something. Then there wouldn't be as much of a need for side accounts and it would alleviate some of the other problems. Also, the ability to change a pets name and have multiple pets in neopia with the same name. That would also get rid of all the annoying names like kiko83774728472647834. I agree with what others have said about clothes and PB colours. Instead of constantly introducing new ones, they should work on updating the ones that exist to be compatible with all pets. And yes, anything that comes with a paint brush should go with the pet that was painted that colour. Or they could have the option to buy PB clothes in shops, otherwise, whoever adopts the pet has to pay to paint it anyway because in many cases, the clothes are what make the colour.

I also literally lol'ed when I read that. Though I'm sorry you got silenced.

^ this.

Other things I'd change are:

-MORE FREAKIN MODERATORS FOR THE NEOBOARDS OMG. In all honesty though, the Neoboards are severely under-moderated.

-All items that are sold in the clothes shop should have the option to be wearable.

-The option to delete your newer neohome. If I were given that option, I'd probably delete it if it weren't for my low ID (11347 :D).

-The ability to enter your classic neohome into the neohomes spotlight.

-The option to buy NC items with Neopoints. Yeah, it'd be hella expensive, but some people who can't afford NC (who have a lot of NP) can get cool items. :yes:

-Cheaper Premium.

-The ability to actually put yourself into the game (for example, Subeta does something like this with the concept of Human Avatars)

one extra per year of membership or something. Then there wouldn't be as much of a need for side accounts and it would alleviate some of the other problems.

 

I never thought of it this way, but maybe they want the extra members so they can have a higher count. Because more pets is a huge incentive to keep sides.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. I just want to talk comfortably, and it isn't possible when people are silenced all the time! This especially bothers me when I want to ask if something is against the rules. If the response is ambiguous, but I decide it's ok, I feel like I've admitted to wrongdoing and could be frozen. For instance, I just moved all my NP to a side account to get the soup faerie avatar, so I only checked the boards here instead of asking on the site. It isn't even cheating and I was nervous.

 

I'm glad I found this board! :)

[Princess-Sammi]

It would be lovely if you were able to change your username at will. :)

[Emily]

maybe they want the extra members so they can have a higher count

 

But this greatly distorts the number of players, and I think anyone who would ever need to collect data like this would be aware of the ambiguity of the number of site "users". I also think these rather inflated numbers have an influence of things like site event prizes.

 

For instance, the recent festival of neggs offered a prize for collecting 5 million neggs by users within the time frame. We should have only been actively looking on our mains. There may be 185 million users, but how many of those A) are side accounts or B ) have not been accessed in months or years. (I'm just using this as a recent example. I think this goal was achievable and am no way bitter that we didn't complete it :P)

 

For honest side account users, we usually use the same email address as our main and many even state right on their profile that the account is a side. But many go out of their way to hide it and, despite TNT's best efforts, can make it seem like a main account.

 

And how many times have you looked up a pet or a shop or something and the user has nothing on their profile and hasn't been seen in a long time?

 

Taking all this into account, it's really difficult to tell how many legitimate, active main accounts there are. In addition to this, it would be nice to have a suspend feature on accounts that haven't been logged into in awhile. They would deactivate and be removed from site stats and site searches, but not deleted so that if their owners did come back, they wouldn't lose their accounts.

same here, and maybe allow users to give themselves 'nicknames' so people don't have to be known as asdifh0980s8 or something like that

^This haha my user is Graveyardfairy1145 as in graveyard fairy(I was like 11 and it was named after my halloween costume haha..don't judge me) and people always respond to me calling me gravey <_<

[Lydia Trebond]

I don't understand, why do people want the number of times they can send scores to go up? That would just increase inflation - you think you can't afford your dream pet now, wait till all the people with millions have billions to spare.

 

That's why the wheel of extravagance is 100k to spin - and gives out pbs, nerkmids and lab map pieces - has anyone noticed HOW effective it is at combating inflation with those items? Not just one, but 3 lab map pieces can be found in shops, when I bought it less than a year ago only one could - and it was at 80k. Nerkmid prices are dropping like stones, same with the faerie paintbrush - from 4.5 mil to 800k - after faerie's ruin.

 

Yeah we all agree that "Save the Wheels" was a terrible idea, but fewer neopoints out there means decreased inflation. I hope they change the max neopoints per score to 750, or never allow games to be sent more than 3 times, retire more games, have the AAA give out rarer items for higher prices, let Kauvera sell pbs or increase the random events for the items, have more plots with retired items as rewards! Put more expensive paintbrushes in the Hidden Tower at lower than market prices and watch the prices drop! Restock Smugger's cove more often, up the prices of all the pay and win dailies.

 

The Dr. Sloth one stamp a month thing won't do a lot, but it's doing something. Look at the last 5 avatars (not including plot/quest related ones) 4 of them (Wheel, Rich, Richer, Richest) all drag neopoints out of the system, and if you look at the last 6 avatars, 5 of them do that with Dark Lurker!

 

And so you know, I have less than 200k in the bank. I'm not rich and probably never will be because I don't have time to play. I want neopoints out of the market to keep prices down, I would like to be able to afford a plushie bori morphing potion and several of the more expensive avatars before I graduate next year!

[Sakabato]

If anything should be changed about Neopets, it should have a server upgrade because I'm so sick and tired of "Waiting for www.neopets.com".

 

Oh, and I'd also like it better if you could spin the Wheel of Knowledge every few hours, because I am madly sick and tired of getting nothing from it. :grrr:

Yes, playing games is one of the few ways NP get added to the economy. But the 3 plays per day/1000 NP limit doesn't go as far as it used to because of inflation. There are only a relatively few games that most players can get 1000 NP/play in a reasonable amount of time. Inflation is related to two things: how fast NP enter and leave the economy (the "supply and demand" of NP, if you will), and how fast items enter and leave the economy (the "supply and demand" of items).

 

No one* gets super-rich off games alone. The super-rich have all earned their mega-millions by selling items, whether items they won in early plots, long-since retired items, or items they restocked. Restockers become ever richer due to inflation (their "income" keeps up with inflation, after all), while gamers become relatively poorer (to buy the same amount of stuff they used to, they have to play more games and spend more time). Restocking does take skill, but with auto-buying programs constantly a problem, only those with the best computers and internet connections will be able to snag the best-of-the-best items, the real money-makers. Therefore, to me, a more fair solution would be to pay more attention to the supply and demand of items -- if there are more users, there should subsequently be more rare items.

 

Buying from shops removes NP from the economy, so it helps combat inflation on two fronts, whereas cutting gamers' income would only work on one front, and it would punish those who are already being hurt by inflation even more. I do agree that things like the Wheel of Extravagance are a step in the right direction. Please note that this is just my opinion, and of course everyone is entitled to their own.

 

 

*"No one" means the average, dedicated player. I suppose someone could spend hours and hours playing Neopets every day for years and accumulate a large fortune, but it still woulldn't be nearly as large as good restockers.

[Lydia Trebond]

But by reducing the number of neopoints gained by games, then people simply cannot afford the high priced items which forces the prices down because people want to sell their items - and the people with mega millions already have them. But if everyone has enough money to by potion x, then potion x will inflate because people can bid higher and higher, driving the price above attainable means even with the sending scores 5x/day. I get the vast majority of my nps from games simply because I don't have the fast computer for restocking - except for the occasional bookstore run - I've got slow internet that's often driven slower by people playing WoW on it and other bandwidth hogs (in a college dorm). Drive neopets into a recession and prices will drop because there is no "cost of production/cost of labor" when the pixels are free.

 

 

Thank you for explaining why people want the number of scores sent up in an articulate manner. I may have come across as annoyed, but that was because it seemed like people were just getting annoyed at NP sinks that are good at what they do and not understanding what TNT's end goal was.
