    I was wondering if premium membership is worth it?

    I have been considering joining it for a while, but I am still unsure.

    Ahm..i'd say no. Because i'm not a fan of spending money on ESPECIALLY neopets. Sure they say you get more random events, and you get the space faerie avatar {until you stop paying} ..but I really don't know much benefits that would make people go "WOW THIS IS AWESOME".

    May I ask why you are considering this? Just for the extra stuff? I think sunnyneo will explain better than I do =P You can decide based on what they offer:

    I would say no, the only reason that I can think of that makes users pay for it are the temporary avatar o.0, and more importantly the super shop wiz, I know some ppl who cash in on it by doing a lot of wiz sniping, but other than that it's a total waste. Even with that it's a waste of money in my opinion.

    The ONLY thing that MIGHT be worth it is the premium report forms.. Some people have gotten their accounts back by using those forms instead of the normal ones.

    Depends how much you truly enjoy neopets. For someone like me, absolutely not...But it could for someone else. Just depends if you really like neo or not I guess!

    "if you really want ssw"

    I suck at legit restocking, jeesh, i suck at non-legit restocking. i think premium is cool, but soooo not worth it

    I'm surprised actually that some of how excellent programmers have not been able to make a super shop wiz...

    just took a look at the link given by Mooiepickles..if u r just starting out, getting the premium seems alright..but after awhile, it just seems that premium is a waste of $..might as well spend your $ in the blackmarket here:D..

    I got Premium for a month and it was such a waste of money. The only useful thing was the SSW. Not worth it at all.

    I heard of the SSW and I am not sure much about it. I know people that are members, and they love it, but I just haven't made the plunge.

    I was looking because others have told me that it is better than normal neopets.

    I spend on other games, but not any like neopets.


    What is the blackmarket, and how do you get access?

    Hi there noodles. Please don't double post, we do have an edit button which you can use instead.

    The blackmarket is the area in our forum where you can buy/sell pets, accounts, neopoints etc with other people here. However, you can only access it once you are level 1.

    I dont think its worth it. The only good thing about it is the super shop wiz but thats really not worth $7.99 a month

    Yes and no, if you love the game you might as well, the service is good for what is it, the shop wizard is good

    Not telling because you'll just be jealous psshh..
    Dang Mooie xD I thought you were pando.

    And.. I don't think Premium is worth it either. I mean, it was when I was like.. 7, but now if Neopets seems like just a way of chilling out or whatever, then not. If you're super addicted -coughcough-, then yeah, I suppose so. But there isn't that many benefits tbh, and you don't get a refund if you're frozen. So.. :/

    This. I got frozen while I had premium, & when I called to cancel majority of the conversation was them trying to convince me to keep it. :|

    Had it for about 14 months. My favorite thing about it was definitely the SSW, as I was able to make millions by wiz sniping. The avatar was alright, but nothing really special. Charter boards made it easier to find lenders for mspp/suap, & occasionally you meet some nice people. Some of the people I met on charter years ago, I still talk to today off Neo.

    Overall, I honestly don't think it is worth the money. I would only recommend it if you plan on playing completely legit & do nothing that could risk your account.
