So I was just wondering if Neopets is still as popular as it used to be? It seems like less people are playing, but that could just be me growing up more. If it isn't, what do people play now instead of Neopets (at like ages 5-8)? I remember there was nothing better than having the best Neopets account, and everyone would get mad at the people that somehow made millions (I never knew until I came here).
I don't have the stats, but I think most people that joined in the time when it had the most growth (in my head that would be somewhere in the 2000s) would have grown up and left already. What do kiddies play nowadays? I think there are a lot more accessible online games on the internet, as well as portable games such as nintendo DS that parents are willing to fork out for their kids.
I don't think Runescape is as popular as it once was, a lot of players have quit that game. Although, I still log onto my own account there once in a while. I heard they recently mass-banned all the bots in the game (which was a huge issue), so perhaps more members came back. I'm sure Neopets has more users than it did a year ago, but I wouldn't be surprised if the rate of popularity increase was lowering.
Of course it was not as popular as before but still restocking is still as fun even after so long lol.
Yeah, but not without an autobuyer. Just imagine if TNT made it basically impossible to use an unattended autobuyer (like by putting in a REAL captcha after the one they currently have that maybe gives you 2 tries and 10secs to input). How many fewer page refreshes would they have per day? Same with score senders...they could probably defeat them if they wanted to. But maybe they don't care.
Yep, it is slowly declining in popularity. I think it is due to all the recent exploits and not many global site events. That is just my opinion though.
It will do more harm than good but nonetheless restock manually is still more exciting than using auto buyer
I think that it is still quite popular! I think that the age group is lower now than it was before but I know alot of people who still play it in highschool then again I also know a lot of my highschool friends who used to play but don't anymore.
The forums in neopets used to be over flowing with people but I've also noticed they've slowed down alot
I've found Neopets to be more popular now than when I joined 11 years ago for certain lol. But maybe not so much in recent years compared to like 2-3 years ago? I know the changes (NC MALL, UC/Converteds, Transfers) really scared off alot of users.
Too great and really very very best work done it is that i ever found here great and superb sharing it is
Even though Neo says there's 15k logged in you can bet that at least half of them are bots. I myself have 22 accs logged in most of the day
Yeah, I feel like especially the boards have def slowed down. Especially since I took a break for a few years. :/ It seems like RuneScape has become very popular. I have a question though, do you think people spend more money on illegit neopets/items than for similar things on other sites? Because I've seen some rare items and pets priced at hundreds of dollars. Is this comparable to other games? Is it more? Is it less? I am just curious . . .
I think there's still a lot of active users on neopets... but yeah I think the popularity of it has decreased. I have played it off and on since 2001 and I don't think I'll ever stop playing it.
