Reading some anti-neo stuff - LOL GOT MY 3RD WARNING

WildSnorlax · Nov 11, 2008

I am loving their criticism and it does make a lot of sense, I agree with them since I have been a player since the "good old days"

I dunno if i'm allowed to post links. If any mods see this, do lemme know xD I would like to share if I am able to. Well I am just guna quote things mostly. But I don't wanna bash neo if it's not allowed

I got caking warned TWICE for my messages for saying NOTHING offensive at all..I didn't post for like 15 mins and got a warning..

So anyways, I would like to start you off with some appetizers.

Subject: Official Warning from The Neopets Team
Message:

[Report Message]
You have received an official warning from the Neopets Team for violating the Neopets Terms and Conditions. Watch your language! Profanity, name-calling and insults are not tolerated anywhere on Neopets. Using spaces, internet slang, acronyms, or symbols to try to hide inappropriate language is not fooling anyone! If you continue to break the rules, your account will be permanently frozen. To see a list of Neo Rules, please visit http://www.neopets.com/chatrules.phtml. Please do not reply to this NeoMessage.

That made me google things.

Case One:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=neopets

Almost all terms says "What used to be good but not anymore"

Point 1: Overcommercialization.

Point 2: Sponsor Games

Point 3: Wars
Wars on Neopets are very boring. You sit around and attack the same enemy a billion times and then you (might) be able to get a bigger one to fight

Me: "Are you seriously paying to play neopets?!"
Addict: "Of course I am, I get so much cool stuff now!"
Me: "Its not even real! Dont waste your money!"
Addict: "Shut up! Oh I just got a paintbrush! Yay!"
^This was a convo on UrbanDic

What used to be a cool pet site, but now sucks. And here are the top 10 reasons why:
1: Shameless Advertising.
They have 3 advertisements on almost every page.
One on the top, one on the bottem, and one on the side.

2: Neo Staff favoring certin users.
Let's face it, there's only a handful of people TNT (theneopetsteam) actually give a shit about.
Featheralley, Hrobi, Garret_jaxx (sp?), Hubrids_mansion, Jazz_invinceable , and a coupple others. Thease people will not be iced no matter how many rules they brake.
^ Here here! Remember Jazz' set up "omfg I am dating cinfulgirl and getting married" gig? WELL I WAS THERE.

3: Message boards.
{I don't even need to say more.} Does anyone still see general chat around? Oh tush, it's invisible

4: Glitches and bugs.
Neopets has countless glitches and bug which they will never fix.
^ When you withdraw lots on an old account, or was it the other user canceling / accepting another trade. You will never see those neopoints you bid with ever again.

6: They're Hypocrits
They'll freeze your account if you post pictures of yourself in which you are slightly imosdestly dressed. And yet they have faeries with their boobs hanging out all over the site, wearing skirts that sure show alot-o-theigh.
They'll freeze you if you mention any achollolic bevrages, and yet they have them as items on their site! *points to a certin item called "red wine" and many other wines*
Noooo cussing. Or else they'll freeeezeee youuuu.
*points to the old maraqua vid with the pirate swearing.... aloso points to the faerie who swears* mmhmmm.
^ Caking OWNED.

10: Report Happy Users
People will report you for ANYTHING on that site. And I mean anything. And regardless to what neopets says, no, they DON'T actually check inot the situation. I've been faulsely reported and frozen countless times. If you mearly say something like "I don't like Good Charlotte, I prefer Dropkick Murphys." ... someone WILL report you, and if enough twits report for it, you WILL be frozen.

Dork: OMG NEOPETZ IZ SO KEWL!!!1 I'V BEN PLAYIN FER 5 YEARZ NOW! ONG I JUST FOUND A CODESTONE ON THE FLOOR!!1!!/1/1!!!!! <- Yeah. you know you're special when you say that.

5. Neopets 501 up, 86 down love ithate it - Check thise vote out.

Neopets:
A highly controversial online game.

7. Neopets 411 up, 115 down love ithate it

November 15th 1999, Neopets begins as a harmless little site where you raised you pets and the site was clean of anything bad. The staff cared about the users and so one. Now Neopets isn't such a safe place now on the internet. The entire staff has set up the site and rules almost similar to a communist nation. And the owner's corruption and greed will lead to the site's destruction.

So what REALLLYYY goes on in the HQ...

Anyway, we made up this segment, of things overheard at Neopets' Corporate Headquarters in Los Angeles, California:

Hey Matt, can you believe who I iced today?

Hey John, I'm having so much fun here. Did you see how I let that scammer just post and post for 30 minutes pissing off the TCers? Haha. What kind of stupid name is that anyway, that they made for themselves, TCers, like the HCers, haha.

So how's the wife and kids?

Hmm, lots of people reporting this scam shop . . . maybe I'll get to it later, I'm on my coffee break now.

Hey Mark, let's make the faellie ugly today.

That's a good design, but can you make it a little more cross-eyed?"

It doesn't look ignorant enough.

Hey, did you see what those idiot artists did? What the hell is with the re-design of that petpet? It looks like crap.

Listen to the players suggestions? What are these guys thinking? We got enough money coming in so we don't need the players, besides, the players don't pay us, Mcdonalds does.

Yeah, hey you know what would be really fun, let's try make featheralley not do anything, really make those kids wonder.

Yeah, they are a bunch of suckers, they'll swallow any crap we feed them.

Hey I know, lets make a new battle item that nullifies all other items of it's type.

Yeah, wanna really tick off the battle people? How about we downgrade a whole bunch of items?

I know, let's retire the Faerie Paint Brush, but first, we'll put in the news that all that talk about retiring is a rumor.

Hey, I want to work in our Customer Service department. Those lazy bums, they get paid to do nothing all day.

Haha, look at this email I got, some stupid little girl crying that she lost her paint brush to a scammer. What an idiot, . . I mean doesn't she know this stuff is all fake?

Check out this one, some scammer wants their account back. Pathetic, they actually take an effort to scam someone out of fake items.

Haha, look at this person, wants to know why we froze his account. Haha, he acts like we need a "reason" to freeze an account. It's ok, he'll just make a new one and it'll inflate the number of accounts so we can get Mcdonalds to pay us more since we have "more" players.

Hey look at this one. Someone has a suggestion to improve the site. He'll keep playing if we improve it or not, at least if we don't take his suggestion, we can save the Neopets Corporation some money.

I don't want to deal with any more complaints for a while, going to watch some TV. Hey Ted, can you unplug the servers and make neopets go "down" for a few hours? Thanks.

Re: Reading some anti-neo stuff

well neo was so fun back in the day it wasn't centered soo much around np and you could easily buy pbs for cheap. but inflation kicked in and made anything cool looking increase in price but its part of the game so there is no complaints lol...

I miss the UC pets... i think neo screwed up allot of good looking neopets. like the darigan buzz and the halloween lupe and the darigan techo.. my favorites but they look bad now.
