Neopets

Post by SirDane »

Yes...I know what your thinking before you even say a word people. Neopets? You mean that little kids game they play online? Yes, I mean Neopets.com. I like the site myself because it has some pretty fun games to past the time and the lupe is my favorite neopet on the site. In fact I have three lupes, my favorite being Leothefural. Here's a picture of him.

Yes, I have a Neopets account. And I have the maximum four neopets, one of which is also a Lupe.

My primary neopet was TerastasJr (surprise-surprise), who was originally a blue kougra (surprise-surprise), but who has since undergone multiple transformations by the Lab Ray and is currently a skunk elephante.

There are many things I like about Neopets (if I didn't have any likes, I wouldn't continue to go there). Here, however, are my dislikes.

1) Game sequels crappy compared to the original
Ultimate Bullseye was a pleasant challenge, but Ultimate Bullseye II is sluggish and irritating. MAGAX: Destroyer was a great action title, but MAGAX: Destroyer II took 95% of the action out and turned it into an endurance/patience challenge. When it comes to their good games, they seem to have a policy similar to that of the US Government: If it aint' broke, fix it until it is.

2) Rules of the battledome
It took me close to a year to finally defeat the Meerca Brothers. And it wasn't because they were tough; it was because they would reuse Downsize! and Burrow over and over again even though the rules for Neopets users say you can only use those items/abilities once. It's total bull-crap that they just claim "battledome opponents have different rules" instead of fixing their own damn A.I. program to prevent that.

Those are my only gripes. . . So far.

I used to have an account ages ago back when the site first started. Before they had toys. And trading cards. And a video game. It was alright, nothing spectacular. Got bored with it. Never went back.

Yeah, I originally signed up seven years ago. A couple months ago a returned to challenge my brother with who can train their neopets the fastest. That challenge lasted about a week. I'm simply not up to navigating all the new features Neopets has since I left it.

By the way, by favourite neopets were the Lupe (duh!!) and Buzz. (Giant insects are totally awesome.)
