man there was nothing like neopets back in the day, i am so here for their redo because it was so much of my tween/teen life that i'm dying a little bit (but in a good way)
I got pretty hardcore back into Neopets during 2020 when I was stuck at home lol. I have my accounts from when I was a kid (my first Neopet is 21 years old lol) and it was a lot of fun, but there’s been so much drama and tension due to TMTs poor decisions. I’m excited for this new era and fingers crossed it turns out well lol.
I legit would not be the person I am today without the friends I made in my guild on neopets as a kid in 2006 lol. They showed me music and movies that shaped my interests and led me to the stuff I'm into as an adult now. Shout out to the early Warrior Cats community back in the day.
Got back into Neopets about a year ago and have played pretty regular since. Jellyneo and the Neopets subreddit are very helpful with getting back into the game, as well as inspo for goals you want to achieve! I have sky high hopes for the new team, and I hope they treat us well. Also of interest: there’s an official Neopets cookbook! It’s v cute and nostalgic.
omg yessssss MORE NEOPETS PLAYERS the game is really not newbie friendly at the moment, but I think the best way to make money to start off is by doing your dailies, trudies (you get more and more NP if you do it every day consecutively), and you can get nerkmids that sell for over 100k each from battledome fights. I recommend getting a cheap set like 2x Scroll of Ultranova and training your pet up a tiny bit or picking one up from the pound, lots of decent statted ones that float around there at times. That should get your feet on the ground and its all about picking up niche hobbies from there! Hope you and all the other returning players enjoy the nostalgia c: I have a lot of the hope for the future of the site and after meeting with TNT in person there's definitely an excitement surrounding everything that isn't insubstantial
Tips for making neopoints: 1. Battledome - just fight the virtupets defenderbot over and over until it tells you it can't award items anymore. You can get codestones and neocola tokens, both of which will always sell and for a good price. 2. Trudy's surprise - if you do it every day, you get on average about 20k per day. Instantly. For free.
I recommend to try opening a shop, and selling pieces or do auctions with things you really dont want. and find a game that you really like and send the highest scores
i spent SO much money on neopets in my late teens and early 20s. i had really awesome names for them, they were all painted, and i even paid for custom profiles for all of them. at some point i just.. stopped playing. last time i checked tho, most of my pets had been adopted out or whatever over the years. all that money wasted LOL im glad tho that a new team is trying to bring it back and keep it running!
I never played neopets but I will probably check it out now. I was more of a Webkinz kid. I still play it to this day. I’d love to see more of the classic flash games make a comeback.
Omg how nostalgic. Im so happy to see so many core things from our day still exists today. Some of the neopets games were so good tho, i try to get back into my acc every few years w no success
I would play neopets during the summer at my moms work bc we couldn’t afford a babysitter it makes me so happy to see that neopets is potentially coming back
Been playing since the beginning, off and on. Right now I'm more ON than I was in 2018 and I'm playing daily while the faerie festival is happening and I'll continue to support the new Neopets staff to see if they can really bring back what I loved most. They announced a new plot in 2024 so I'm training my pet for that rn
loved this!! i was hardcore into neopets as a kid and seeing some of the old games brought back so many mems 😭 i was fully teaching myself html coding to make my homepage cute and aesthetic LOL
Honestly if you can even remember vauge information about your old account the neopets team might be able to find it. If you can remember what email it was on that might be enough.
The web browser based social virtual character game that i really like as a kid was Millsberry so much so that the old user name that I used for a long time had Millsberry in the name 😅. Sadly Millsberry was discontinued in January 1st, 2011.
I've always loved neopets and played all the time in middle school. I just my neopets trading cards the other day and it made me miss it. I've always loved the unique art style too. There's no reason why neopets wouldn't be popular today, they just need to update some things and expand on it!
Aw, I miss Neopets! I played from about 12 years old all the way through high school and college and eventually I just stopped. But embarrassingly enough I still have a “premium” account that I pay like 60 bucks a year for but I never had the heart to stop it because it gives you a 5th pet slot and I couldn’t get rid of any of my Neopets! I wish they would make an app for it to all be accessible for mobile because I would absolutely get back into it!
omg the nostalgia is REAL, i def think it looks just as confusing now as when i was a kid lol BUT the new game they are creating sounds cool!! Nonetheless, your commentary never disappoints haha thanks for this liss, keep us updated!
"i wanted to sign up for the neocash thing but i couldnt figure it out in 15 seconds so, i'm out."-girl, SAME! if it takes longer than a couple seconds to figure out, with no clearly accessible links, then it's too much trouble lol also, love how i got back into neopets mere weeks before this grand announcement from them, and all this stuff about brand ambassadors, etc. i feel like im SO ahead of trends 😌haha
i miss petpetpark , when i was younger i had never heard of neopets before petpetpark shut down and for some reason i thought they changed the game entirely to something different
I've played Neopets around 2004-2008 and just now looking to get back into it again :D This time around, I WILL get that baby paintbrush (I was way to0 young to understand how to make much NP back then). Thanks for posting this video!
I used to play a lot back in the day. I loved the random art contest and won a couple times. I made most of my points from the games and the interest rates and there was a list of dailies. Stuff like the omelette, jelly, the fashion fever game gave you 900 points for doing nothing per round… i have popped back in a couple times since college ill be glad to have it come back. I lived for playing Cheat! And pyramid solitaire
Forget giving young kids gamba brain, I'm getting gamba brain playing it at 28 :') though...looking back, it honestly could have started when I was 10 and playing neopets
god I remember friends who were much less tech knowledge than me learning some html because they wanted to make their myspace and other websites look cute. I wasn't as interested in that. so I could fix their PC, but they would code my page cus they said it was boring lol. Bring back noob! Its funny, nowadays I hear younger adults talk about how their favorite online game from their childhood is still running and how weird that was. I'm just old enough that I've had the internet since I was a kid, but there are no online games left from that era. The oldest one I can think of are things like maplestory or WoW, but WoW launched later in the year after I graduated high school and maplestory didn't come to the US until 2005. I did get to play a bunch of flash games as a teen/young adult on things like newgrounds and kongregate, and the kids that made those games grew up to make some of the games that started the indie game boom in the late 2000s. Actually my gf and I met online through a mutual friend and we bonded over sending each other cool games we found on kongregate, so kingregate always has a special place in our hearts.
John Legend being an ambassador… what is this marketing team and who are they advertising to? Also what was in your CD player while you played Neopets back in the day?
I still played Neopets into the late 2010s, but for the last few years I haven't been able to get into my account because I used a fake birthday as a kid and can't do the birthday verification (woulda been nice to play during 2020 lockdown ;-;). This video inspired me to finally reach out to TNT to get back into my account, something I've been meaning to do for years because I don't wanna have to start over from scratch. I really really really really really wanna play it now, hopefully I can get into my account!
I'm a mobile neo player. It's tricky for most games because I don't have a Bluetooth keyboard or anything. Some games though that just take clicking work find on mobile now that ruffle is integrated.
Great video! Hope you make more neopets content! Best ways to make money are dailies and games for a beginner. I would play the battledome and face against koi warrior on easy to get codestones.
My last memory with Neopets was seeing them being sold at Kmart when that was still in business. Other than that I didn't get into them because I saw them as a Pokemon rip off.
I’m pretty new to your channel and don’t know if you’ve gotten around to checking out Coral Island. It’s a lot like stardew and any of the classic farming sims like harvest moon cute and cozy vibes etc and has a really cool story (: it’s in early development still but I think it’s worth checking out for sure!
stock market is a good way to passively get nps! look up a guide, but mostly you check every day and sell anything that's over 1000 per stock. no thinking involved, and the companies never go bankrupt so you can't make the wrong choice.
I feel like neopets became less fun when they started making it harder to "cheat" - not because i was old enough to even know what i was doing, but it did seem like they cracked down super hard and lost a lot of players that made it extremely fun.
there could be hope to get your old account back. i got mine back! i did know my username which helped, but i didn't know my password and lost my email address that was connected to it. But I contacted the neopets team and what they asked from me was the birthday on the account, the passwords i've used in the past, the PIN associated with the account, and the location the account was created. I only supplied them with my birthday and location (gave them my city, state, and zip code). They got me my account back!
Neopets should try to get it on mobile so people can play it anywhere with out their flash games that i not working on their online game they can make more new games to play and get neo pets money more fun.
Just taking a shot in the dark here, I think you are having issues with the tutorial cuz of your antivirus or firewall coming up with a false positive.
Come back to RuneScape (old school obviously) because it's alive and well 😹 okay maybe not "well" but that's open to interpretation (edit: I missed that you said you do still play, that's amazing; leaving this though to spread the word 😹)
"I don't fuck with NFTs" Sounds stupid, especially when "I don't want AI stealing my job and scraping my work for their data base, if only there was a way to encrypt your work so no one can steal it "
Almost 200,000 people seem to disagree with you, so maybe just watch a different content creator instead of telling people to change to fit what you want?
i LOVE gaia, but they keep locking me out of my account. (been using it since 2011) and they take months to respond to my forms i submitted to unlock me
man there was nothing like neopets back in the day, i am so here for their redo because it was so much of my tween/teen life that i'm dying a little bit (but in a good way)
me tooooo!! I knew a renaissance would come one day 😭😭
This game deserves to be saved. It has such a good foundation, just needs to get revived.
I got pretty hardcore back into Neopets during 2020 when I was stuck at home lol. I have my accounts from when I was a kid (my first Neopet is 21 years old lol) and it was a lot of fun, but there’s been so much drama and tension due to TMTs poor decisions. I’m excited for this new era and fingers crossed it turns out well lol.
Not to mention data breaches gosh. But nostalgia hits hard
Wow I remember Neopets. I played around 2005-2008. Loved the games. And low key learned about coding when making guild pages and my profile page.
Lol i still play neopets to this day and im glad that the flash-centered games are coming back soon :3
Well it won't be flash-based anymore. When the "new neopets" is ready, it'll be 3D life simulation where you, yourself are a neopet!
they're working on restoring the original site assets @@OhsoWoobie
I'm sure they will do a good job bringing it back to life, it just needs the right team.
I legit would not be the person I am today without the friends I made in my guild on neopets as a kid in 2006 lol. They showed me music and movies that shaped my interests and led me to the stuff I'm into as an adult now. Shout out to the early Warrior Cats community back in the day.
Perfect. Just in time to pass the torch to my own child. I loved this! we need more of these .
That's so sweet!!
Got back into Neopets about a year ago and have played pretty regular since. Jellyneo and the Neopets subreddit are very helpful with getting back into the game, as well as inspo for goals you want to achieve! I have sky high hopes for the new team, and I hope they treat us well. Also of interest: there’s an official Neopets cookbook! It’s v cute and nostalgic.
omg yessssss MORE NEOPETS PLAYERS
the game is really not newbie friendly at the moment, but I think the best way to make money to start off is by doing your dailies, trudies (you get more and more NP if you do it every day consecutively), and you can get nerkmids that sell for over 100k each from battledome fights. I recommend getting a cheap set like 2x Scroll of Ultranova and training your pet up a tiny bit or picking one up from the pound, lots of decent statted ones that float around there at times. That should get your feet on the ground and its all about picking up niche hobbies from there! Hope you and all the other returning players enjoy the nostalgia c:
I have a lot of the hope for the future of the site and after meeting with TNT in person there's definitely an excitement surrounding everything that isn't insubstantial
Woah, great to see you here!! 🎉
Trudy’s Surprise is single-handedly financing my entire Newish Account Life and idk who Trudy is but I love her

I'm actually so stoked about this Neopets renaissance era!!
Soup kitchen used to be 1000nps. Wild how 25 years changes things.
i spent SO much money on neopets in my late teens and early 20s. i had really awesome names for them, they were all painted, and i even paid for custom profiles for all of them. at some point i just.. stopped playing. last time i checked tho, most of my pets had been adopted out or whatever over the years. all that money wasted LOL im glad tho that a new team is trying to bring it back and keep it running!

I never left. :) 16 years on Neo here!
I would play neopets during the summer at my moms work bc we couldn’t afford a babysitter it makes me so happy to see that neopets is potentially coming back
I saw the announcement about Neopets and was just WAITING for this video 🥰
ur content just keeps getting better and better liss this is so good and cozy
They really reinvented themselves recently with the new quest log system with many QoL improvements
Been playing since the beginning, off and on. Right now I'm more ON than I was in 2018 and I'm playing daily while the faerie festival is happening and I'll continue to support the new Neopets staff to see if they can really bring back what I loved most.

Neopets were like online Tamagotchi that you can play with others and was the greatest progression with virtual pets 😄😄
ngl the john legend promo is what got me back into it... truly an insane choice but it worked i guess
The amount of time I spent on the wizard so I could have THE BEST bookstore in the world.... the best!

As a webkins girlie, I’m cautiously happy for the neopets community (the new leadership is a bunch of cryptobros, be careful)
"i wanted to sign up for the neocash thing but i couldnt figure it out in 15 seconds so, i'm out."-girl, SAME! if it takes longer than a couple seconds to figure out, with no clearly accessible links, then it's too much trouble lol

I THOUGHT THAT SAID NEPETA AND I WAS LIKE
“WHAT DID THEY DO TO NEPETA?!,!”
thats such a homestuck brainrot moment
@@littleblurrystars so true

lol wow, early internet really was the wild west with MMO gaming. A video on Runescape would be fun. Didn't realize you could play on the phone.
Forget giving young kids gamba brain, I'm getting gamba brain playing it at 28 :') though...looking back, it honestly could have started when I was 10 and playing neopets
All I want is 2005-2007 era Neopets
Do y’all remember the McDonald’s neo pets toys … I wanted them all
god I remember friends who were much less tech knowledge than me learning some html because they wanted to make their myspace and other websites look cute. I wasn't as interested in that. so I could fix their PC, but they would code my page cus they said it was boring lol.

Man this gave me vivid flashbacks to restocking. God forbid you had bad internet.
Neopets and OSRS? Subscribed. ❤️
John Legend being an ambassador… what is this marketing team and who are they advertising to?
Also what was in your CD player while you played Neopets back in the day?

Neopets was my favorite!!
I'm upset at the new look bc the themes don't show up and everything is so hard to find
I missed this completely. Thanks for the video!
this is so off topic but your hair looks so gorgeous here!!
I’m pretty new to your channel and don’t know if you’ve gotten around to checking out Coral Island. It’s a lot like stardew and any of the classic farming sims like harvest moon cute and cozy vibes etc and has a really cool story (: it’s in early development still but I think it’s worth checking out for sure!
i was looking forward to the relaunch a few days before but had forgotten until i saw the john legend tweet.......He got me to sign up
liss what webcam do u use :3 i’ve been wondering forever the quality is so good
help what is the song at 15:20 ?? I remember it used to get stuck in my head all the time as a kid and I don't know where it came from
i got back into neopets a few months ago!! i love it c:
stock market is a good way to passively get nps! look up a guide, but mostly you check every day and sell anything that's over 1000 per stock.
no thinking involved, and the companies never go bankrupt so you can't make the wrong choice.
I still play on and off 😅
quirkedupwhiteboy i'm crying
I feel like neopets became less fun when they started making it harder to "cheat" - not because i was old enough to even know what i was doing, but it did seem like they cracked down super hard and lost a lot of players that made it extremely fun.
I would 1000% go back to Neopets if they went back to what it was before Nickolamedeon (… nailed it) took over.
I haven’t yet but I definitely want to check it out since I played it as a kid!
honestly this is genuinely making me wanna play again. this video was great! :3
You Know What Even More Cool If Neo Pet's Made MMORPG
MY CHILDHOOD
whats the music the in the background from?
I just want the site back to what it was with all the flash games.
Childhood
Ok but anyone remember pet pet park! 😭
there could be hope to get your old account back. i got mine back! i did know my username which helped, but i didn't know my password and lost my email address that was connected to it. But I contacted the neopets team and what they asked from me was the birthday on the account, the passwords i've used in the past, the PIN associated with the account, and the location the account was created. I only supplied them with my birthday and location (gave them my city, state, and zip code). They got me my account back!
Just saw this vid and I’m about to go make an account
Neopets should try to get it on mobile so people can play it anywhere with out their flash games that i not working on their online game they can make more new games to play and get neo pets money more fun.
I got back into neopets beginning of 2020 for about 6 months, lost interest, now I’m back into it since they’re gonna “revive” it
I also want to add that I have a Bruce that’s painted Baby and his name is Babyings 🥹
Ive never played neopets but I kind of want to play it now… even though I didn’t play it when it was popular.
Same but I wasn’t alive during that time I wish I was brown in 2000’s
I once had an account that had 20000 neopoints in the bank now I will be remaking all of it
awww your Aisha shirt!
Hasee bounce rules eheheh
bring back key quest >.>
damn this video makes me want to create a neopets account
liss just like me fr
liss leggend
Karina from drawfee has got to watch this
justice for quirkedupwhiteboy o7
U should try playing pikmin 4 or something in the future
Omg i remember these 😢
John Legend?! Say no more 🏃
Just taking a shot in the dark here, I think you are having issues with the tutorial cuz of your antivirus or firewall coming up with a false positive.
You’re probably right! Will try that and see if it works thx
Come back to RuneScape (old school obviously) because it's alive and well 😹 okay maybe not "well" but that's open to interpretation (edit: I missed that you said you do still play, that's amazing; leaving this though to spread the word 😹)
Oooohhhh my god 😮
I loved this! we need more of these 🫶🏼
NEOPETSSS
I literally just made a new account 2 weeks ago 😂😂😂💀
not you pronouncing illusen's name like "ill-losin'" 🤣🤣
Neopets was my gay awaken
"I don't fuck with NFTs"
Sounds stupid, especially when
"I don't want AI stealing my job and scraping my work for their data base, if only there was a way to encrypt your work so no one can steal it "
Your videos are too long for the low energy and monotone structure they have. 10mins max will be better
Almost 200,000 people seem to disagree with you, so maybe just watch a different content creator instead of telling people to change to fit what you want?
10 minutes can't cover it.
i LOVE gaia, but they keep locking me out of my account. (been using it since 2011) and they take months to respond to my forms i submitted to unlock me
The John legend brand ambassador thing makes sense, I read an interview years ago with his wife Chrissy teigen where she mentions loving neopets
wait really?! thats so funny
