    How does being a girl have to do with it? It doesn't seem aimed towards any group (girls, boys). If it was, I would think it would be pointed towards little kids. I know my sister would like the colors!

    So you're saying that the pink and lilac, fluffy land with the rainbows is not aimed at girls? Seriously?

    Yes, seriously. I'm suggesting that the map is aimed at being a representation of what TNT thinks Faerieland would look like. I don't think it's aimed at an audience, they're just trying to be realistic.

    Wouldn't you expect a Faerieland to be a little girly? If they remake Darigan Citidel to look like a doll house I'll believe you. lol

    What you're lacking here is a basic grasp of marketing... Faerieland will have been created with girls in mind so when they redesign it, yes, they will be thinking about what Faerieland would look like, but you always have your target audience in mind whenever you create/change anything. Their target audience, when it comes to Faerieland, will be girls so Faerieland will always be designed in a way that TNT thinks appeals to girls. What they think their target audience wants will always be more important than anything else.

    That isn't what I objected to. I was saying that the redesign of Faerieland was not aimed towards girls. I was not arguing that Faerieland was at first aimed towards a group other than girls.

    Maybe they did have girls in mind during the redesign, but if they did, I don't see how. It just seems flashier and laggier than before. The redisign of Neopets maps seems to me to simply be a modernization of Neopia, nothing else. Or what would Terror Mountain's layout be aimed at?

    I think it's alright... or I did when I first saw it. Now that I'm back in Uni on their slow stupid internet it's a little laggy. Although Terror Mountain's is better in design (I feel), it's less laggier than that.

    Oh, and I hate how certain things take the spotlight, like the Healing Springs - look at the size of that thing compared to everything else and it's just a small html page xD Faerie City doesn't feel very Faeriest either - just pink. VERY pink. You'd think TNT temporarily lost sense.

    @ lol at the Hidden Tower not being Hidden, doesn't really matter though, everybody knew it was there anyways, but maybe TNT should rename it to just Tower or something.

    One thing I do love though, the Discarded Blue Plushie's working, I'm still trying to get the avvie for it. =) Haha, atleast though I'm getting a little more NP every day - it seems to always give me around 2k.

    Yeah... it just seems to get more and more childlike... It would be okay if it wasn't for the excessive highlighting when you hover your mouse over stuff :nope:
    Also the wheel of excitement - over shiney!

    Inside faerie city is great :)

    I thought it looked cute.
    It's kinda weird. But I think TNT has did a nice job pretending they are doing something on the site that hasn't to do with making money ;D

    I think they still kept the HTML part, right? So, for users with slow computers...

    This is looking like it's going to develop into a Webkinz :O

    The faerieland was really really lame before, and this new one is a lot better. However I don't really like all the shiny "plastic" looking buildings that there are now..... [...]

    Looks very garish.. I miss the old days, soon nothing will be left of what Neopets used to be. And I mean, they could at least let us know when they change things instead of doing it without notice. They used to actually listen to player input.
