*coffin door slowly creaks open* Hey Fraze, Huntress. I miss you guys. Someone told me they were bringing back plots! EDIT: Also, these boards are linked directly on the Neopets site!! We've come a long way from pestering Snowflake and Droplet on here. I missed YOU I was definitely pleased to find out we got Certified (TM) when I came back

This New Era has me excited and terrified all the the same time! I'm looking forward to more life being breathed in the site so that I get more funny comic ideas. I already submitted one the other day about the new era itself that I think is pretty funny.
I am a bit nervous at the fact that it's A) An Independent Entity, and B) Working with 4 Million Dollars of Investor Money.
After its super heyday, Neopets has always been owned by a bigger parent company, which meant that when it underperformed, it wasn't the end of the world. However, now that it's self owned, underperformance will have bigger impacts and consequences. Not to mention the fact that they're playing with investor money, which means that they're going to need to not only tread water, but have big returns in order to appease said investors. It's a riskier game than I would like, and feels like a bit of a hail mary, but I love this site, so I hope it pays off for them, and it truly is a new era.
Also hi gang.

Ummmmm this is not a joke. John Legend was chosen as the new brand ambassador for Neopets. ... I am really not liking this big marketing push when the site and game itself are still in shambles.

Man, 2023 Bingo is wild. But yeah, like I said - now I'm even more wishing they'd just fix the site before doing anything else. It's okay! We'll wait! Just because selling a buggy nigh-unplayable beta and then releasing patches for the next 18 months is the video game industry standard these days, doesn't mean it's actually a good idea!

With the release of the 50+ games (there's another thread for that) on time as well, I'm slightly optimistic about the (right) direction the site is headed.

Heyyyy they updated the inventory and added some much-needed links.
They also fixed the pet-targeting glitch that's been going on for a long time, where people using the zoom-in function on Apple devices would have the wrong pet pounded/zapped/painted.
These are concrete improvements! I feel slightly more hopeful now.

I didn't realize how much I missed those links at the top of the inventory page xD

I, too, love that we can stop stacking our inventory items!
ALso, the globe of Neopia can now orbit!
