Samuel Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 BREAKING NEWS - THE DAILY NEOPETS.COM -------------- MTV Networks, the company who manages Neopets.com, has just announced that a staggering $100,000,000 will be invested over the next two years into it's various online gaming sites, including Neopets.com. As well as a heckload of investment in it's Nick and NickJR online portals, this money will also be aimed at NeoStudios. From the press statement, just released: "NeoStudios: Neopets (www.neopets.com) will be transformed into Neostudios, which will focus on developing new virtual world gaming experiences online, while continuing to grow and evolve the existing ones. The first of these will launch at the end of 2008 with a goal to launch a new one every other year." We're unsure as yet what this means for Neopets; giving the project a name, NeoStudios, could well be a sign that MTV, owned by Viacom, are definately changing things (and with that amount of money, probably for the better). Whilst it seems the existing virtual worlds will stay, it'll develop more; what these actually are are unsure. It want's to create "new gaming experiences"; Neopets in itself is one, and with more being created (on a large time scale, one every other year), there could be very substantial changes to Neopets come 2008. The announcement was made in New York and Seattle, USA, during Casual Connect, a gaming conference. Source: CNN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original Luna Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 With all this new stuff happening on Neo, there's bound to be conflict between well-meaners and people who are serious Neofans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I personally think it's the money (Viacom, basically) forcing them to do it. If they don't, the money goes and the site suffers. If they comply, however, they risk losing some loyal fans. Let's just see how it plays out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
