Neopets

Neopets is a virtual world for kids or anyone young at heart. The world is based around characters users create called pets. Users must keep their pets healthy, fed and in good spirits.

With your pet, you can explore the Neopets world, engage in solo quests or play solo games for rewards, complete missions with other players and meet other characters. Neopets has plenty of places to visit including the Battledome, the undersea city of Maraqua, the Lost Desert or the Virtupets Space Station.

When users complete missions or quests they receive items like Dark Reflectorbs or Neopets money called Neopoints. Pets can visit the Neopian Bazaar or the Neopian Plaza to trade, buy and sell items. Users can also invest in the Neopian stock market.

Neopets is free to play but they also have a subscription version called Neopets Premium that has better features and benefits. Competitors include Zwinktopia, Webkinz, Mokitown and Club Penguin.

I loved this game until the stupid company banned my account for no reason I went by all the rules and never cursed. For that reason I( love the game but hate the company!!!!!! :( (cconnorr183)

Let me tell you what neopets is REALY about: About 5 or 4 years ago, neopets was a nice site where you used neopoints to buy things for your pet. It was fun. But NOW, neopets is about MONEY. They lure you in with this new thing: Neocash. You don't earn it. you buy it, with REAL money. When you see the things at the NC mall, you realy want to dress ur pet in those cool clothes and backrounds. But many of us don't have the money to THROW IT AWAY on digital items. The merchandise is diferent. you can actualy play with those cute plushies. But realy, not all of us have the money.

Gizmo, Neopets don't die. Your account may be deleted after five years but the pets would be around till then.

My first online site was neopets , toon town and webkinz I recomend webkinz most of all and say no to scamers if you play anyone of these
Gizmo - July 18, 2008 at 7:59pm
And one more point is that if you gone for 5years your neopets would be dead in webkinz time only passes when your online and it dosent limit how many games you can play huge price difference and you dont feel stupid if you dont have a millon trophys
