Aleisha Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 As I've been visiting TDN for so long now, that I decided it was probably time to join the forums ;) I've only recently gotten back into Neopets again after a long hiatus. I used to play a lot when I was younger (I started when I was 12 with account 'aleisha_o') but now that I'm 24, I find that I'm always too busy and real life gets in the way a lot. :( I have so many fond memories of how it used to be though, all these ~new~ features (NC Mall, etc) almost make me sad lol. My username is 'funkedelicangel', which is a little embarrassing now that I'm in my mid-twenties but I've had the account since I was 13 and I'm rather attached to it so I'll have to deal. Shoyrus are my favourite pet as I'm a bit of a dragon lover, I'd love to have my very own Draik as well.. one day. I collect Plushies and have a rather modest gallery, but I plan to work on growing it now that I'm playing again. Next on my list is a gallery of Shoyru items ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi there, and welcome to TDN! -offers cookies- Ugh, I am staring in awe at your Faerie Shoyru. I had an UC one on a previous account, but it's frozen. ;_; (Sorry, Ansteigen. I love you, and you're gorgeous, but.... you would have been prettier if you weren't in the new art style!)

Koralis Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Hi Aleisha! I love shoyrus as well, they're my favourite pet! (poogles come in a close second) You can't tell by my account, but my lab pet was originally a poogle and will be one again once I'm done zapping her!

After one of my many hiatuses I came back to find the new look pets, and received a few neomails asking if I wanted to trade Virakie. I was really confused because I hadn't been around, but apparently UC pets are hard to come by these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleomiele Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Welcome to the forums!! I hope you enjoy it here ^_^ Yes, people go crazy for UC pets nowadays! I wish TNT would take the hint and make the new art optional...it breaks my heart that I will never have a beautiful UC faerie pteri ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummydumpty Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Welcome to the forums and welcome back to Neopets! I don't mind much the whole UC vs new art, but a lot of the poses were more dynamic like your Shoyru (Virakie is adorable). I think the option to revert it back for every pet is definitely something TNT should look into, in addition to name tokens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And UC pets with good names are even rarer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koralis Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 This may be a silly question, but what does UC stand for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tedhaun Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 This may be a silly question, but what does UC stand for? This is not silly at all. UC stands for unconverted, meaning that the pet is in its old art before the change to Neopets 2.0. This applies to certain pet species/colour combos (mainly Greys, Darigans, Faeries, Plushies, some Royals, a few Robots, Maraquans and Babies, etc.). Staying on topic, welcome to The Daily Neopets Aleisha. Hope that things are turning out well for you over here at TDN and made some good company as well. Any questions? Contact any of the staff.

lwarlen Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Welcome to the forums! We're a wonderful and fun community. Shoyrus are awesome! My favorite species is the cybunny but the shoryu is one of my favorites. :cool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerew Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Welcome to the TDN forums! I also share a love of Shoyrus, as you can tell by my beautiful silver Shoyru Cindy ;) Good luck with your Shoyru gallery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleisha Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks for all the welcomes everyone :) I actually almost converted Virakie once, and then thought better of it. I'm glad I didn't haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
