gloomrain Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 :whistle: Ha ha so the transition of Neopets over to JumpStart and driven me to drastic measures - although I feel pretty hermitish for not realizing forums like this existed earlier. Change is scary, but exciting! I'm devastated to see Habi go (and flabberghasted I didn't try for level 50 sooner - honestly, the Neopoints I've heard people earn from it is crazy!) but excited to see new things come in. As a user who can't play flash games to save my life or have the intellectual skill or patience to work out Stocks or Food Club, etc, I reveled in using Habitarium so I hope something similar pops up soon. While I wait I suppose I will have to focus on college. How droll. Ha ha So how are all of you coping with this Neo temporary closure? I feel like I'm in transit while it comes back on - in some kind of Neopia Airport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lianakos Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I know exatly how you feel! That was my first thought when I read the news in neopets that they are shutting down for 2 whole day! gloomrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakecat Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I wonder if Neopia right now looks like a closed amusement park during the off season? I'd like to wander around inside by myself while the crowds are gone. :party: :icecream: :bike: :happydance: gloomrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aquamentis12 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 NORMALLY, I check Neo several times a day. Doing Test Your Strength and Scratchcards, and whatever else I feel like when not battling or doing dailies. lol Like now, I having trouble sleeping, and a little mindless time on Neopets would be nice. Oh well, in the meantime, I can devote a bit more time to my animation project. I'm nearing the end of it, finally! :D If anyone is interested in seeing some of the animation tests... (Yes I know this is a shameless plug lol) You can check some of them out here at my thread in TDNForums art gallery. http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?/topic/37438-art-and-animations/ Feel free to leave comments. I'm completely self-taught and using 15 year old programs for the graphics. LOL So don't expect Don Bluth quality. ;) So it's the music vid project, and drifting around TDN forums and such. lol That's pretty much it. LOL I just hope the transition of Neo goes smoothly and there are NO glitches after the site goes live again! :D (Just in CASE, I took a LOAD of screenshots, for if anything is missing from my stuff) LOL gloomrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capgal Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My first thought was, "THANK GOD I will have two days of actually being productive at work!" hahahahaha I definitely miss neo during the transition, but I feel really positive about the change and am hoping that this final move over to the new servers means that they can start focusing on other site improvements (COUGHIWANTAPLOTSOBADLYCOUGH) instead of working on making sure it's safe to do the transition. gloomrain 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloomrain Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Nice animation! Cool sound effects. I feel like Neopia would maybe look like a cool abandoned Amusement Park - like Movie World. Except, I can imagine all the faeries and villains and such being off-duty, helping pack their things, and sitting having coffee together. Oh My Gosh. I am so inspired to make a comic now. Just - Just imagine. Dr Sloth having tea and buscuits with Lord Darigan and Pant Devil, discussing how he feels such and such a plot 'would be a wrong move for his character - I'm feeling like a new hair style could be nice'. And Fyora in her Pajamas drinking coffee while she listens to Lord Kass talking about 'taking the wife and kids for a nice vacation through the transition'. I may have gone to far, but now that I'm picturing all the Neopets characters like this, I can't stop! Ha ha Edit: And yes, I finally have some time to be productive. Also one of my first thoughts! ha ha capgal and Aquamentis12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just4dailies Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 Definitely agree on the productivity. I was a little bummed that I'd just put a Faerie pb in my trades & now have to wait even longer to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teeniem55 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I hope there will be some more site content soon. Now that Habi isn't going to be there, there isn't much I'll be doing. I'm bad at the games, but enjoy playing them. I hope they'll get the battle dome together and we'll see the return of the Defenders series.

I'd like to wander around inside by myself while the crowds are gone. :party: :icecream: :bike: :happydance: That is too funny. Our pets are probably like, "where did my peoples go?" The shops are going out of business, the food is rotting in the restaurants, (new gross foods coming soon), the wheels will need to be oiled, the faeries will be handing out quests like crazy, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missuninvited Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I finally tried out the AAA and Igloo Garage Sale YESTERDAY MORNING - I know, bad decision. As soon as I got hooked on refreshing it was yanked out from under me :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miranda_est92 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 This is unfortunate for me cuz Neopets being down these 2 days are my 2 days off from work. :( I tried going outside though, I made progress. I went to this place called the gym, now I know how our pets feel after training. & I was in my guild getting ready to write back one of my friends that said "Their late :D" I clicked reply & saw the sad page. (they were only a min late) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sara_1 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I've been on Neopets almost since it opened and it's never been "shut down" for two-three whole days before. Worst thing when I first started was pages wouldn't load due to lack of bandwidth. At the bottom of the yellow toolbar it would say "cannot load page due to bandwidth. Please refresh." And I would spend hours just trying to get to the shops page and I remember thinking how awful neopets was then. I think I took a break, came back and didn't have a single problem with it. Hooked ever since. But this is just weird for me. I'm kind of going crazy. I bought a sketch pad though for a dollar (bargin hunter right here) in an effort to productively hone my drawing skills and get something together for the BC once neo is back up. I also want to try and get my pet's some trophies so I'm gonna work on their characters and get them solid. But I cleaned today. Like that's how I know this is bad. haha.

tk421beth Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I have been trying to work, but the dang computers are down!

I remember that, I had the same problem, but I thought it was my internet (back then dial up) wow can't believe I still remember that. I too have been drawing again but I have to keep practicing its really bad. My poor Lupe looks like a Plumy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miranda_est92 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 While my games were loading, that'd be the time I run to get drinks & snacks, come back still loading, go do something else like laundry. Wow I was so young too. Everyday right after school I'd get on. (I made sure I never had homework) stormborn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brynchilla Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 It's sort of funny. My parent's company moved into their building around 1999, and now they're moving around this time too! :shiftyeyes_anim: Is it just a coincidence? I remember how there used to be a lot of visits from the Red Pteri, and I would spend hours playing the games only to refresh and be a bit said that they were gone. (Of course, that mean the site was running again.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mumtup Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I thought I would get all this great stuff done while Neopets was down,...but nope, just lazy as usual. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloomrain Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 Haha I know that feeling. Well, since Neo is still kaput at the moment I think I shall begin my comic art, if I ever get out of bed that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
