An old friend of mine played neopets between 2000-2002,said it was good,that there was no ads,easy to use,but alot of scammers about and that there was no time limit on playing games.
I was around then, and yes...it was great. No ads whatsoever, and I don't think there was a limit on games. There WERE a lot of scammers and whatever you want to call them...too many to count. I'd say it was a lot better then it is now...but what do I know about know, after I had my account frozen like 4 years ago I rarely even get on neopets :/ But from the looks of it, the new layout is ugly and it was a lot better back then.
Better. The game was actually fun (it's true!) and you didn't even need autobuyers to succeed and become a good player. Oh, those were the good ol' days...
*jealous abit*wish i had taken a look years ago.lol and stuff was cheaper?almost like real life,everything being so expensive now.
Yep, paint brushes for 99k in every shop. You didn't have to become obsessive or stop sleeping in order to get enough neopoints to actually do something fun in the game. Also, those days the regular games on cellphones (snake) and similar easy games were what neopets focused on. Now they have entire super mario games or even longer.
Yeah, I do remember the paintbrushes being buyable, and lab maps being around 20k. And it was also true that you didn't need an autobuyer to become rich... Oh the gold old days when I played when I was 9 haha
Scammers are STILL too numerous to count lol anyone who can say "I'll give you whatever you want... just give me your password and username" can qualify as a scammer. Look around sometimes and you'll see plenty o those. I played at one point between that time frame. I seem to have an odd memory of moehogs being limited edition for awhile but that may have been a friend pulling my leg.
lol, scamming was easier back then (does anybody remember the fake log in page through shops, haha) anyway, it was better, slower, but better and more player-oriented, instead of the now, money-oriented. Does anybody remember when codestones had no purpose and totems were needed for mystery island?
Yes i was around back then too. It was alot funner, pbs were cheap as, i used to paint my pet all the time, i went to heaps of pbs. Fire fire pbs were a good 50k. I still remember when the bd first came out. Got to fight blossom from powerpuffgirls and hypo helmets were 500np!!! (i wish i had stocked up on these) I loved my wand of air faerie so much...came back and found they nerfed it.... If i still had my main, it would be 7+years! Now nothing is affordable!! I remember unknown2 , the totems were through sponsor links.
oh the login pages were funny too. And yeah, I agree it was player oriented. H4000 Helms WERE that cheap too...until they inflated to about...maybe a million or not even that, and getting an item like that was a rarity for the price. Now people are able to get that crap with no sweat behind them :/
All that I regret is that i never actually both a 100% cheap freezer back then and kept it. Also, when I first ABed all the accounts got frozen except for the side account that had only nps pure. Anyway, this cake is great, is so delicious and moist.
IMO better than it is now. I remember it was actually quite easy to make NP for most things you wanted. And i remember playing poogle solitaire and getting a magical poogle toy from it.
omg since i started playing a long time ago.... it was sooooo much easier to auto rs, and they didnt really start noticing until much later, plus items that were 100k back then are like 7mil +++ now
wow, I wish I was on neopets back then ... now in some shops you don't even see the item before it's gone :|
I remember getting a Purple Magical Poogle Plushie from that and I didn't know what it did, so I played with my pet and it changed it to a purple poogle and I just about cried. I went begging to my friend to ask how to change the pet back and she gave me a Spotted Pteri MP. Then she offered to give me a PB too, but there wasn't much I remember the Pteris were able to be painted yet. :/ I don't know....The only thing I like better now is that I feel like its easier to earn NP. Things were cheaper then, but there weren't as many games. Maybe it was because I wasn't trying to make NP as much as I do now? I really wasn't interested in the NP, I just liked playing the games.
