    Neopets back then used to be so great! It was really easy to navigate and you would have hours of fun reading everything and clicking everywhere.

    Could someone possible compile a list, with pictures if available of what it used to be like..? I've only been around since the toolbar changes. Thanks for the information from all the responding users on the topic, seems like things will never be the same.

    In the vets opinions, has it gotten better, or worse..?

    It most definately was MUCH simpler, things went by slow and easy, and people were more friendly i guess.

    Yup I was around too.
    I still remember how the old layout looked.
    It was so much easier to navigate, and it was actually POSSIBLE to make friends.
    Now it seems like everyone excludes themselves to be the "best"

    It was way better than now.

    I still remember the old layout, it was awesome, and the old world map was nice too. The pets were not converted, which is a good thing, and Chokato TCG was around 400k. =/

    I totally agree. I couldn't imagine using ABers back then. It was ALOT more fun! And the pets looked sooo much better D: Oh, the good days.. TNT wasn't so strict either

    I personally didn't like neopets the first couple years that they created it. After they got everything established though, and started having war (real wars, not this dumb plots) it was amazing. A lot more people were trusting during year 3-7 (sometime in there) than they are now/were before then. Neo, in my opinion, is better now than it was when it first started, the adds are a bit annoying though.

    i played first year it came out. back in the day you could email tnt saying you lost items in a glitch and they would suddenly appear in your inventory the next day lol. i remember i was able to get like 500k free from tnt by saying i lost my pink and purple job coupons ina glitch and they gave me them free haha.

    i bought like 10 cool neggs for 800k i remember. then i gave my account away and started playing again 2 years later and cool neggs were already up to like 600k haha

    Yeah those were the good old times. I played around then too. I remember the ghetto look up of things, it was nothing but a yellow side bar with different html hover images.

    There was indeed no ads, and the world maps look so funny :D

    Here is an idea of a quite old lookup.

    Lolol. Good times when I didn't know there was an autobuyer :)

    Hmm, I didn't play much back then. My computer's internet connection was pretty slow at that time and neo just took too long to load. Besides, I felt like all I did was stress about my pet being properly fed back then...haha, I was a really lame newbie.

    If I knew what I know now, I would have stocked up on so many items. *kicks poor foresight*

    Neo used to load faster before tho because the site used to be mostly all html and now it's mostly flash. A lot of people who could make programs got super rich back in the good old days u would find a person so loaded that it made the prices change for everyone because they could buy so many of the expensive items. Also people could actually cheat just by a html code in there shop and those days are over now for a lot of people cuz u get frozen for almost anything like that now and they keep getting better at finding people cheating lol

    IT LOOKED LIKE http://zetapets.com/ DOES NOW SORTA WHEN IT FIRST STARTED

    I remember finding a Shadow Paint Brush and selling it for under 80k. And I wasn't stupid, stuff was just so much cheaper back then. Now you either have to give up all your free time for RSing or use illegit programs for weeks to be able to buy a good PB.
    Lol at those who still think games arcade is the way to riches :p

    Speaking of games, I miss all the old games the most.
    I loved Volcano Run, I was so good at that <3
