maikrowsoft Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 What is this Friendly Brown Gelert Plushie referring to ?!! Am so happy with the free 150NC !!! Probably the mascot of the JumpStart games. Edit: Oh yep that's probably it. His name's Frankie, btw. http://jstart.wikia.com/wiki/Frankie leverhelven and Wildbreeze 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbreeze Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Probably the mascot of the JumpStart games. Edit: Oh yep that's probably it. His name's Frankie, btw. http://jstart.wikia.com/wiki/Frankie Yes! I was just going to find a picture of him to post. :) It took me a while to realize who the Gelert plushie was (and I didn't remember his name). Seriously, I used to absolutely love JumpStart's stuff. I even still play some of my old kids' games for nostalgia's sake. I see good things in the future of Neopets, and I bet I'll love JumpStart again. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcpet Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm excited for the changes to come. I don't see how JumpStart will do anything to make the site any worse. To be honest I don't really think Viacom/Nickelodeon was doing very much to begin with, other than putting ads everywhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novelista Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Sadly, I'm probably dreaming about them loosening up in some aspects, even if they did buyout because the target audience was older. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beruichi Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Ahhh free stuff! :happydance: It's fascinating to hear that they acquired neopets because of the older demographic (since I'm part of that group lol). Looking forward to see what they plan to do with the site~ :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angeló Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I finally bought the Delightful Heart Lute for my music gallery with the free NC !! .................................... and Frankie the Dog is really cute ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novelista Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm waiting for another batch of faerie cookies. I love my daily fae quests! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I have to admit that I am looking forward to/ dreading some of the things that lay ahead. Looking forward to: Festival of Neggs, Faerie Festival, and other Neopian Holidays with JumpStart at the reins. The first Advent Calendar Dreading: Possible pet changes The end of NC and the mall itself Lady Lyuba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyurri Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I don't really know what Jumpstart is but, free NC so yeah. On my understanding, Jumpstart is a kids thing but, for more younger audiences than Nick right? Since a lot of people says "OMG I loved Jumpstart when I was a kid".

Novelista Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Well, Wolfie (may I call you that?), you might be worried about pet changes, but they might introduce a new one, too! (I know TNT has said no before, but that was before they had new bosses. :P ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaotic_fashion Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Here's the screenie, taken from JellyNeo's news page: Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, I did not know this! changes a little now^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazzy_child Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm excited to see what changes are going to happen. Hopefully more events and such. I just hope they don't get more involved in NC since we are a older group and can afford things... That would not be cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Wolfie? lol I've never been called that, but I like it. :) I'm dreading any pet changes because I loved the original artwork of kougras, aishas, and xweetoks. Then it changed. I miss the original xweetok and kougra artwork. I'm hoping that they won't change the artwork, but a new pet would be cool.

idriya Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 They're not going to end the NC Mall, it's the primary source of income for the site. fireembemphanatic and Lady Lyuba 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I actually hope that they make a cookie or new faerie that can bring back UC pets. I would spend so much more time on the site if I knew there was a random event and I could make one of my beloved pets UC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babird1 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I'm wondering what will happen to Petpet Park and MonkeyQuest. They are Neopets-ish but very Nickelodeon, aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixyperson Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I dunno how much control JumpStart will actually have as on the help section they said the Neopets team was staying the same. Then again I don't know how much control Nick had either, so it may just be a moot point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idriya Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 MonkeyQuest belongs to Nickelodeon, so it won't be part of the site anymore. But people that had accounts still get to keep him. Petpet Park will likely be the same as it has been. And they're not going to make UC pets available. With all the drama they cause nowadays, I almost wish they converted all of them. Then people would have gotten over them quicker. Lady Lyuba and elenet 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deliciouswaffles Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I really hope this means they'll skew closer to the original version of the site, rather than becoming even more restrictive with things like user and pet names, filters, etc. I'm going to try not to freak out before the next editorial, which will probably cover the "What about UCs? What about ancient accounts with iffy names? Will there be any changes to the filters?" sort of questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Lyuba Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hm.....not sure what to think yet. Unlike what most people said, I don't ever remember playing JumpStart games as a kid, I probably did, I just don't remember them XD Since the older audience is what intrigued the company into buying Neo, we shall see what changes come, I hope to see some good new things! Also kinda relieved the NC mall isn't going anywhere ^^; But maybe this will mean less NC tie-ins? I'd like to see them keep Delina out of the Faerie Quest event next year. Anyway I'm always up for free NC (who isn't?) and cute new plushies, yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heisenberg Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 In my opinion, not much is going to change. It's still the same team - TNT. The same people, under a different, smaller company (which is a good thing in my eyes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondeeakajamie Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I can honestly say, I hope that they stop forcing NC on us. Like, I don't want to go on a page and just see something saying, "Hey, buy NC!!!!!" anymore. I know that it's a big source of income for them, and that's all fine and dandy, but I feel like all the pushing towards buying NC neither helps nor hinders peoples' decisions to buy it.

going_weird Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 acually it does not effects the but monkeyquest a game by nicklodeon gave us nick cash or in neopets neocash!!!!! thats a problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteWolf Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I kept my Desert Aisha UC. I think she's beautiful the way she is, and I'll never convert her. Then again, she's one of my oldest pets! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
