January 12, 20215 yr Oh no! Which internet browser do you use to play neopets on? Did you update your browser recently? I just double checked with my chrome browser and could still play, but I didn't update anything.
January 12, 20215 yr Author Chrome updates automatically for me but I just tried Chrome, Torch & Brave and it won't run on either one
January 12, 20215 yr Yep, mines out too. Pity it's a shared computer or I'd be tempted by the date trick!

I'll not leave mine set on yesterday's date other than for that. I've been expecting a bunch of stuff to be switched today, but now I realise that may be me being foolish? TNT can always let us down, after all, no matter how low our expectations. *~*;;

The dudes at Andkon Arcade can be of assistance if you want to play Flash games (and Shockwave ones as well) in 2021. You'll need Pale Moon browser and a non-time bombed version of Flash (version 32.0.0.371 is the last known Flash version before Adobe time-bombed the Flash player in all releases made after June 2020). Here's their guide.

I've been so stressed about doing all the flash games the last few days, especially the ones I'm not so good at. Hopefully with this guide, it'll buy me a little more time to play.
January 12, 20215 yr Unpopular opinion, but... this was long overdue. Flash is horribly outdated to the point of it being a security risk. Neopets should have been updated long ago, rather than moments before the deadline. Now many of the site features aren't working properly because of that.

January 12, 20215 yr hmmm, i might just try that date trick. i've given up on ever getting most of the games avatars, but i was so close to carnival terror..!

I don't think that's an unpopular opinion at all. I think the people are more upset with all the non-working changes rather than the end of Flash itself. The only reason I'm looking to get back onto flash is because almost none of the games have updated and I still need the avatars. For most some of the games, once I have the avatar, I never want to see that game again lol.
January 14, 20215 yr I come bearing more helpfulness! A fellow ninja has put together a REALLY useful petpage. Avatar game tips, Flash workaround & non-Flash links for some Flash games: http://www.neopets.com/~5T4RRY I'm just doing the coconut shy at the moment. This is great! No need to have to mute Elroy, I can't even SEE him! HOHOHO, the laugh's on you, mister! >:3
January 20, 20215 yr Author Although I blocked stupid Chrome from Automatic Updates , it did and now Flash options are gone forever Qasalan Expellibox just shows me this now (even with date change) But I can see 5TA4RRY added it to the list ...
February 1, 20215 yr Does anybody know if the Pale Moon method works? I'm trying it out right now, and it seems like it's not registering my keyboard presses in Escape from Meridell Castle, Kass Basher, nor Meerca Chase, but it works for Assignment 53. I tried Assignment 53 before installing ublock, but it still works after ublock, so I'm not sure if it's because of that.
March 12, 20215 yr Are there any more updates on the Pale Moon method? I'm thinking about installing so I can work on some avatars but I don't want to mess with it, if it's not going to work. I did find an addon for Chrome called Ruffle. It enable some stuff: Coconut Shy, Qasalan Expellibox and Test Your Strength specifically.
March 12, 20215 yr Pale moon works for me, though I've had trouble with it registering key presses in a few games as well. But I was able to get some trophies, and it works for Kiko Pop and Expellibox.
March 12, 20215 yr I installed Pale Moon but I keep getting the End of Life for anything Flash related, I wondered if you needed it installed, with a working Flash, before they terminated it so you could prevent it from updating.
March 12, 20215 yr Author @Duma Same e_c explained to me that I need to install an earlier version of Flash, but since there are security concerns regarding this, I'm not going to do that
March 12, 20215 yr The link that I went to had step-by-step instructions and it included a link to an Adobe Flash file that didn't have the end of life timer built in. Because of security concerns, I would only use this to try for avatars. I'm in a bit of a pickle, I don't have over 200 avatars (I suck at Flash games). You need that plus over 100 posts to start participating in the Avatar Lending program for pets here. So I was hoping that Pale Moon might be a quick fix.
