honestly fuck neopets. not only did they ban my account when i accidentally found an item duplication glitch when i was literally 9 (assholes), they also had that data breach that leaked my email, password, IP address, date of birth, and name. also i don't think i can count this against neopets but i was also banned from the neopets discord server
Nem lembro quanto tempo fiquei jogando essa maravilha na infância. Neopets é tão cheio de detalhes, tão rico em design, jogos, na própria lore também, deu pra ver que tem bastante carinho. Mas com o passar do tempo, foi sendo esquecido, nem sei se o site ainda existe.
A melhor parte era explorar os mapas e descobrir coisas secretas.

Made an account 19 years ago so i like to think i've seen most of what neo has had to offer. Watching the site become a husk of its former glory has been sad, still i find myself coming back to the site once a year for a couple of days.
Its almost unplayable nowdays with the death of flash. Most of the games are gone, pages are broken and games that are fixed run pretty poorly.

It's difficult to give a concrete rating to a game that has been around and changing with the internet for more than two decades.
On one hand it created and for a while dominated the niche subgenre of the browser pet sim, but as the years went by many others surfaced that either did things different enough to grab players attention away from it, as well as adding quality of life improvements to keep them playing.
I haven't checked it out in a while so I'm not sure of it's current state, and I can't say that it's an experience that I'd recommend to people who have never tried a game like this before.
Is one of those experiences that unfortunately is not the same as it once was and relies a lot on it's community to be enjoyable.
But if you love collecting 20+ years worth of items, trophies, collectables and so on who am I to stop you?
However if you're interested on the history of the site (which is fascinating to me) I highly recommend checking out any documentary essay on youtube that you can find on it, the stuff that this game has brought up to the table and all it's controversies are incredible.

If I was reviewing this a few years back, I would be a lot kinder. I felt nostalgic though recently and went back to it. I should not have bothered. With the death of flash and company more interested in hawking NFTs than actually fixing things, you've got a site that's barely held together with broken pages, dead games and barely functioning basic features.
The total lack of games hurts. Sure they've tried to bring some over to the new system outside of flash but the amount of actual games can now be counted on a hand. Dont worry though! They remembered to port all the gambling stuff like the shitty wheels and slot machines, because when I think 'Kids Games', I think 'Gambling'.
Just let the site die. It had a good run and like the Simpsons, it should just have a last hurrah celebration and then end.

I originally gave this website - the original website, not the broken mess it is now - four stars for being an important part of my childhood, but that was before the massive security breach where user data was leaked and being sold on the dark web.
Dumbasses really thought they could sell NFTs while still using Internet security from circa 2002, damn.
