(Redirected from Gallion)
'''Neopets''' is an online
virtual pet website launched by
Adam Powell and
Donna Williams on
November 15,
1999.
[1] Shortly after it was created, it was bought by
Doug Dohring, who founded the
Neopets, Inc. and made the website profitable. On
20 June 2005,
Viacom bought
Neopets, Inc. for $160 million (
USD).
[ Viacom agrees to buy Neopets ] As of
5 August 2007, Neopets reports 144 million accounts and 212 million pets and has an
Alexa ranking of 148.
[2]
Neopets is based around the
virtual world of Neopia, which has its own
economy and
weather system.
[3] Visitors can create an account and take care of up to four virtual pets, buying them food, toys and other accessories using a virtual currency called Neopoints. Neopoints can be earned through playing games, investing in the stock market, trading and winning contests. Users can explore the world of Neopia with their Neopets and interact with each other through the NeoBoards, Neomail, and guilds.
A
pay-to-play version, known as ''
Neopets Premium'', offers additional features and benefits for a monthly fee of $7.99. Several issues with the site, such as immersive advertising, gambling-based games, hacks and glitches, and poor customer support, have sparked
controversy.
History
Neopets was launched on
November 15,
1999 by
Adam Powell and
Donna Williams from an idea Powell had in 1997.
In December of that year,
Doug Dohring was introduced the creators of the site and decided to buy it.
[4] Neopets, Inc. was then created by Dohring in February 2000 and the website was later made profitable after he brought in its first paying customers for an advertising method known as "immersive advertising"
, touted as "an evolutionary step forward in the traditional marketing practice of
product placement" in television and film.
[5] In May 2000,
Nielsen//NetRatings reported that people were spending around three hours a month on Neopets, more than any other site in its Nielsen category.
[6] By May 2005, a Neopets-affiliated video game producer cited about 35 million unique users, 11 million unique IP addresses per month, and 4 billion web page views per month. This producer also described 20% of the users as 18 or older, with the median of the remaining 80% at about 14.
[7]
Viacom later bought
Neopets, Inc. on
June 20,
2005 for $160 million.
[ Viacom agrees to buy Neopets ] On July 17, 2007, the NC Mall was launched
[8] in a partnership with Korean gaming company
Nexon Corporation.
[9] On July 18th, 2007, Neopets' owner, media-giant Viacom announced on their website that by the end of 2008, Neopets would be changing to NeoStudios, "which will focus on developing new virtual world gaming experiences online, while continuing to grow and evolve the existing ones."
[10]
Environment
Neopets is set in the
persistent world of
Neopia inhabited by creatures known as Neopets. Neopia has its own economy and uses a
currency called Neopoints and has its own
stock market.
The planet includes various worlds and mini-worlds with their own themes. Each of these worlds or regions has unique shops, games, and other activities based on its theme.
[11] Each world may contain several different regions; for example, the world Terror Mountain has three parts: Happy Valley, Ice Caves, and Terror Mountain, each home to different attractions.
On June 24 2006, the map was updated so that players could access the previously unseen side of the planet
Neopia.
[12]
Lutari Island, a tribal-themed world, is only accessible after signing up to Neopets Mobile, which is a pay service for accessing Neopets on a
mobile phone. As of May 2007, only
T-Mobile,
verizon and
AT&T can be used to access Lutari Island.
As of December 2006, ''Jelly World''
[1] is the only world in Neopia inaccessible via the main world map. The existence of Jelly World is consistently denied by the Neopets staff as a joke, despite all of the references to it such as a Jelly World NeoBoard
[2] which cannot usually be accessed and Jelly World related games which can be accessed from certain game related links. However, on the Neopets Toolbar the ''Free Jelly'' icon links directly to the free jelly in Jelly World.
Battledome
Battledome is where a player's pet or petpets can fight against another player's pets or petpet. A player can also go against creatures that you can meet when browsing through the site. Each creatures have different difficulties. It ranges from 10 to up to 100's. You can also win awards on battledome. For instance, when going against punchbag bob you will recieve a trophy when defeating him. But it also takes a while to beat him. He may be weak but he's a punchbag every move you make minuses 1 defense points...he had a hundred so you would have to hit him 100 times.
Plots
Main articles: Neopets plots
Major Neopets plots usually are advanced in a
comic book-style form, which is used as a springboard for player participation. This participation may include solving puzzles, playing games, fighting opponents in the Battledome; depending on the activity, players may find themselves working with or competing against other players in real time. Players receive prizes for their participation at the end of every plot. The time it takes to reward participants with these prizes has sometimes been considerable, as the scoring of varied steps for a large number of players is a complex task.
Yearly events
The NeoCharge display along with discussion on the NeoBoards
April Fools
Neopets is well-known for its
April Fool's Day pranks among its users. Some of its jokes include:
★ 2000: Neopets released a list of horrendously drawn 'pets that did not make it.'
[13]
★ 2001: "Neopet Makeovers" gave Neopets new names and different looks.
[14]
★ 2002: Some users' Safety Deposit Boxes were emptied, since the Pant Devil stole them.
[15]
★ 2003: Neopets becomes "Neopetz", a "cooler" website. The visual layout of the site changed and Neopoints were eliminated, making everything free, including the extremely expensive items found in the Hidden Tower.
[16]
★ 2004: A "Quiguki" expansion set was to be released based on an imaginary new world called "Quigara".
[17]
★ 2005: Fifty new pets were drawn, and the Neopets staff claimed they were releasing all of them. Also, they claimed from there on, players could own 10 Neopets. After the joke, many users expressed an interest in owning one or more of the many fake Neopets. TNT heeded the requests, and set up a poll to vote for which fake should become a Neopet. The Lamameeah won the vote and was released as the Gnorbu, with some slight changes.
[18]
★ 2006: "NeoCharge" (pictured) was a Neopoint tax that players had to pay NP depending on which and how many pages were visited to keep people from refreshing too much. When players actually tried to pay the charge, they would be taken to a page that said it might take up to 24 hours to process.
[19]
★ 2007: The Battledome and all things related to it (Including the Battledome NeoBoard, all of the Battledome records, Battledome shops and the Hidden Tower, and pet lookups) were removed. Some Premium users claimed they did not notice it; they were allowed to buy weapons, but not fight.
[20]
Advent Calendar
The Advent Calendar is only active during the ''Month of Celebrating'' (December). On each day of the month, a user can visit the Advent Calendar in ''Happy Valley'' to watch a flash animation, and collect a prize. Users are only allowed to receive this prize once. Users who create multiple accounts to receive multiple prizes may have their account deleted.
The Altador Cup
In June 2006, TNT released the Altador Cup, a competition that consisted of the game, Yooyuball (similar to
lacrosse and
soccer), and lasted for about two months. The ball in this game was in fact a petpet, the Yooyu. Sixteen of the Neopian worlds "participated" in the event, and users had the option of choosing a team. Tournament match-ups were posted and players would challenge their opposing team. Team Haunted Woods came in first, followed by Darigan Citadel placing in second, and Roo and Krawk Islands tying for third. A staff tournament was announced on June 10th, in which the members of TNT chose a world team and competed against each other for victory of the game. Users were able to vote who they thought was going to win, and if guessed correctly, a small prize was awarded.
Altador Cup II (also known as Altador Cup 2007) was released on
June 2,
2007. New rules
[3] (such as the no switching of teams once you join) were implemented. Although this round had the same amount of teams as the previous year,
Kreludor did not participate "due to the malfunction of our (their) training centre's gravity control" and was replaced by
Shenkuu. Two additional supporting games are added, "Slushie Slinger," a game where players helped the
Tuskaninny waitress serve slushies, and "Make Some Noise," featuring the "crazy
Techo fan," whom appeared in last year's AC games. The Normal, Darigan, and Clockwork Yooyu were added as well. Team Darigan Citadel won the title for the second annual Altador Cup, with Roo Island coming in second, Shenkuu in third, and Krawk Island in fourth.
Neopets
Neopets is also the name for the primary inhabitants of the world of
Neopia. In total, there are
54 different species of Neopets, some of which may be limited edition or restricted.
[21] A user may own up to four Neopets per account. They can wear clothes or be painted different colours with the use of Paint Brushes,
potions, or other means. Users can interact with their Neopets in different ways, including feed them, play with them, and having them battle other Neopets or NPCs in the Battledome. During
April Fools Day, fake Neopets might be added as a joke.
Petpets
Neopets may own pets known as Petpets. Like Neopets, Petpets have levels and can also be painted a variety of colours, albeit with their own Petpet paintbrushes. They are found in petpet shops all over Neopia. Some variations include Slorg, Feepit, Babaa, and the Meepit. Petpets are capable of doing some actions their Neopet owner cannot, such as waking up the Turmaculus (a giant Petpet that may eat a user's Petpet) and jump in the "Mysterious Symol Hole". Petpets were once able to assist users in Battledome fights, but this option has been retired. Occasionally, a petpet will appear of its own accord and assist its owner in a fight. However, Petpets now have their own battle arena, called the "Petpet Battle Arena". Petpets are also featured in various games, like Extreme Herder, Petpet Cannonball, and Hasee Bounce.
A Neopet can also talk to their Petpet by typing in what they wish to say. The Petpet then responds with one of a number of pre-programmed text actions. The actions vary with the type of Petpet, although if any profanity is used all of the Petpet's lines will read: "Oi! Don't swear! This site is family-friendly".
Petpetpets
Petpets can have their own pet, called Petpetpets, bug-like creatures that live on the Petpet. They are found through rare random events and can be sold for Neopoints or attached to the main Neopets Petpet. Petpetpets cannot be removed from a Petpet but will disappear if the Petpet is removed from the Neopet. Petpetpets serve very little purpose other than to have fun, but some like the Mootix or Moach can give a user an Avatar. Some games on the site, such as "Mootix Drop", are based on Petpetpets.
Games
There are over 170 non-retired games (games that still give out Neopoints) on the website. Before
November 22,
2006, when the games room was revamped, most of the games on the site were divided into three categories: Puzzle, Action, and Luck/Chance. Now, games are divided into many more specific categories.
Players may earn trophies for their trophy cabinet if they score high enough for the High Score Tables. On the first day of each month, many of the game High-Score Tables are wiped. This means that many users can earn trophies early in a month with relatively low scores, compared with the middle or end of the month.
Flash and Shockwave games
Most of the games on the site are
Flash or
Shockwave games, which require the user to have certain software installed on the computer. Many are similar to older existing games — for example, "Meerca Chase" is very similar to ''
Snake'', while "Korbat's Lab" and "Frumball" are like ''
Breakout and
Arkanoid''. Some games house a hidden game programmer and staff member, The Phantom Orange Shirt Guy. He can be located in games of his own creation.
A player may submit game scores for each Flash game up to three times a day, except during the 7-day period beginning on Neopets birthday (
15 November-
22 November), when a player is allowed to submit up to five game scores a day. Up to a maximum of 1,000 Neopoints can be earned per each score sent, thus allowing users to score up to 3000 Neopoints per game on a regular day, and 5000 Neopoints per game during the week of Neopets' birthday. Users may earn trophies if they score high, or message board avatars from a select variety of games. They can participate in World Challenges (hourly competitions for a select variety of games) for the chance to win Neopoints and special world challenge map pieces. They can also issue public or private games challenges to other users, betting a certain amount of Neopoints for the chance to win more.
There is a different game featured every day. When a player achieves a score with the Featured Game, the amount of Neopoints usually given for that score is doubled. The usual maximum winnings is also doubled, allowing players to win up to 2,000 Neopoints each time they play.
[22] A Lucky Space Faerie Charm, one of the rewards for referring people to
Neopets Premium, can also randomly double a player's Neopoint winnings.
On
November 21, it was announced in the News that a section of the site was going to be revamped.
[23] On
November 22, it was revealed that the section to be revamped was the Games section.
On
November 23, the Games section's new avatar announced that he had a challenge on offer to all Neopians, which involved playing a set list of Flash games (submitting a score of at least 50 for each one), finding hidden games to send scores in, sending challenge cards and, of course, the mystery challenges.
For the month of March 2007, every day a user could challenge "AAA" or "Abigail" to the featured game. If they beat the required score, they received a prize. Extra prizes were awarded at the end of the month. If a user challenged Abigail (the challenger with the lower score) on a certain day, they were ineligible to challenge AAA on that day, and vice versa. An avatar was rewarded for successfully beating AAA and/or Abigail 15 times.
3D Life Player games
On
July 19,
2007, Neopets has released its first 3D Life game called
Shenkuu River Rush, which requires a 3D Life Player as the game contains three-dimensional effects, colour definition, and high-quality animation.
Sponsor games
Neopets is sponsored by a number of organizations, businesses and companies, and therefore there are a number of sponsor games. Sponsor games come and go from the site, and are often wiped from the site completely long before actual Neopets games are. They have no high score tables, but are often easier than regular Neopets games, although the Neopoints won are not always high. When the contract with a sponsor ends, some of the sponsor games are changed to remove any ties to the former sponsor (Toybox Escape and Turmac Roll are examples of such games).
PHP games
There are also numerous
PHP web-based games, such as "NeoQuest", "Plushie Tycoon", and card games like "Pyramids", "Scarab 21" and "Neopets Blackjack". NeoQuest and NeoQuest II are classic
role-playing games in which a user travels around a world, fighting monsters and performing quests. Plushie Tycoon is a business-running simulation, in which the player must manufacture and sell Neopets plushies. There is also a daily crossword ("Faerie Crossword"), a dice game ("Dice-a-Roo", which is no longer playable by users under 13 years old to avoid any gambling accusations), and a Neopets version of
Minesweeper ("Neggsweeper").
Monthly tournaments are held for the multiplayer games of Kacheekers, Geos and Armada. The rankings are updated monthly.
Contests and Spotlights
Neopets also offers several different writing and art contests, the largest of which is the
Neopian Times, a weekly electronic newspaper which includes
short stories, a question-and-answer
editorial,
comics (traditional and animated),
story series, and articles. A published user receives a trophy, as well as special rewards for special Neopian Times issues (such as milestone and themed issues).
There is a poetry contest that runs approximately twice a week and a story-telling contest in which users write and submit the next part of a
short story. A "Random Contest" requires a different task, chosen by Neopets staff, to be completed each contest, such as drawing, making up "Dr. Sloth's answering machine message", and creating recipes, and so on. The Caption Contest requires users try to write humorous captions for a picture. In Lenny's Conundrum users solve a logical puzzle. Players can submit drawings of their pets for the
Beauty Contest where other users can vote on their submissions, artwork for the Art Gallery, a picture and short story of their pets or Petpets for the Spotlights, galleries of items, custom-built levels of certain games, their Neopets-based web pages (theoretically for their pets) or ''petpages''. Users can also submit short films based on Neopets for ''Neovision'', a video player. When users win one of these contests, they usually receive a trophy a Neopoint reward and sometimes an avatar too.
Quests
There are many types of quests in which the user must retrieve certain items for a
non-player character in exchange for a reward. Faerie Quests are given out through random events while browsing the site, while the user may volunteer for other quests.
While browsing the site, the user may encounter a faerie through a random event and be asked for an item associated with her (like clothes, trading cards, etc.). To make such quests more challenging, users cannot use the Shop Wizard to quickly search through user-owned shops while they are still on the quests. Users must find the items through auctions, the trading post, or ask others for help. The faeries will select one of the user's four pets (or depending on how many pets a user has) randomly and raise one of its statistics.
Neopians can also go to Jhudora's Cloud or Illusen's Glade for quests with various prizes according to how many quests the user has previously completed. For these, the player is allowed to use the Shop Wizard, but must find the item within a time limit. The more quests the user completes, the better the rewards are, but the faeries will demand rarer and more expensive items. Failure to retrieve the item on time resets the quest and brings the player back to level one. After completing a quest for Jhudora or Illusen, users cannot do either of their quests for another 12 hours, and after 50 completed quests, there are no more reward items.
The Esophagor, Edna the Witch, the Underwater Chef, the Brain Tree, and the Snow Faerie also give quests upon request. The Shop Wizard can be used to find items for these. Users often only do the quests when the required items are within a certain price range, to avoid spending more than their potential reward.
[24]
Collections
Players can choose to collect certain items and display them in a "gallery". They may also collect collectible cards, trading cards (not to be confused with the actual Neopets trading cards), stamps, coins, and sea shells, and display them in albums.
Neohomes
"Neohomes" can be built after a user buys a plot of land. The plots of land you can buy varies at different prices. Each room costs Neopoints to build, and furniture may be put in and arranged. You may also build gardens and furnish them. Extensions such as lighting, flooring, and insurance can also be purchased. Players may try to win awards for their Neohomes or collections. The address of a Neohome can only be changed after demolishing all rooms and/or gardens and selling the address back to the bank.
Shops
In addition to the regular shops, players open their own shops to sell items, sometimes after obtaining those items at a lower price from sources, such as other shops. (One may also exchange items at the trading post or use the auction house.) Shops run by
non-player characters allow
haggling. Buying items at the Neopian shops in order to resell them is called ''restocking'', and can be very profitable for a player with luck and a fast internet connection. However, player-run shops can only sell items up to 99,999 Neopoints; any items with a price over 99,999 Neopoints must be traded using either the Trading Post or the Auction House.
Site themes
A site theme is a theme that is displayed on the top and bottom of the screen that is used while browsing the Neopets website. The default theme is star-decorated and yellow, which is seen when a user creates a new account or is not logged into the site. Once a year, on a user's birthday, the site theme will switch to that of balloons and cake. Similar to avatars, there are also secret site themes to unlock and collect, but unlike avatars, there are far fewer. Some site themes, like those for Valentine's Day and Halloween, are available to unlock on a particular day every year. Others, like the Altadorian Constellations site themes, are available to anyone who completes the requirements, but some site themes were plot related (Altador Cup, Shenkuu, Lost Desert) and are now unable to be unlocked. With the new layout of Neopets website, users are also able to have four new basic site themes: Neopets Yellow, Neopets Red, Neopets Green, and Neopets Blue, which do not require being unlocked.
Community
Neopets has a community in which users can chat with and contact each other by private "
NeoMail" (on-site
e-mail) or on public "
NeoBoards", which are more like
chat rooms than
Internet forums.
As with all Internet communities, there is risk in giving out personal information to strangers. Players under 13 years of age cannot access any of the site's communication features.
[25] They must fax or mail a document stating parental consent, with the parent's signature, to the Neopets headquarters, to comply with
COPPA.
Avatars
On Neopets,
avatars are small icons used on Neopian
message boards to represent a player. Players on Neopets cannot upload their own avatars and must use those provided by the website. In addition to the default avatars, there are over 300 secret avatars that can be unlocked in various ways. These tasks may include getting a high score at a game, visiting a particular page or beating a particular secret opponent in the Battledome. Others (such as those earned for past plots) are retired and no longer attainable.
There is also a high score list which ranks users according to the number of avatars they have collected, and help sites exist for collectors to keep track of avatars and tasks still needed. Additionally, there is an avatar only available to the administrators’ user account of the site, known as ''theneopetsteam'', or TNT.
Guilds
Users with similar interests can create or join guilds, which usually revolve around a theme, such as battling in the Battledome, or non-Neopets themes such as those for the fans of real-world celebrities or animal-lovers. Some guilds are dedicated to certain causes or goals, such as helping poor Neopians and/or new players, adopting the abandoned Neopets in the pound, collecting avatars, role-playing, and so on.
There are message boards inside the guilds, accessible only to their members. Some guilds are private, which makes the guild not show up in any guild searches, and a player would need an invitation from someone in the guild to join. Some guilds also have corresponding external websites (many times on petpages) to share information that usually includes their rules and other things about the guild. Other guilds will make an off-site guild page for everyone to access.
Screenshot of NeoBoards homepage. Note that this screenshot is taken on the 3rd of July, following the release of the new board layout.
NeoBoards
NeoBoards are public discussion boards. Discussions on these message boards must be Neopets-related and may not involve topics such as dating and romance, politics, and religion. 24/7
moderation is performed by paid Neopets staff members.
Users can help moderate the site by reporting messages they believe are inappropriate or offensive.
A filter also prevents users from posting messages with profanity or lewd content,
though the filter cannot capture typographical errors intentionally placed by
spammers and
scammers, and some questionable posts still appear. Premium users also have access to a private Premium NeoBoard.
Periodically, new boards will appear and disappear as new plots are developed. Once the plot is complete and prizes for the plot have been awarded the board is taken away.
On the NeoBoards, players can enter 'neoHTML' (Neopets HTML) in their Chat Preferences to use a
font on the NeoBoards that is not the default font. These fonts can become very elaborate; designs such as a piano keyboard and a Mootix (a Neopets Petpetpet) are shows of players' creativity. Players often use fonts to match their
avatar.
On July 3, 2007, the NeoBoards began displaying the active pet of a user with his or her post, and the heading of the page was modified in several ways, including the addition of a new advertisement.
NeoMail
NeoMail is a personal in-game communication system, much like regular
email. Players can write messages to other players or make "Neofriends", to whom they can send items from their inventory or make private auctions for. There is an option for users to only receive Neomails from their Neofriends. For many reasons, Neomail messages are monitored, and players cannot write to another player who is under the age of 13. However, if the person under 13 has parental permission to play on the site, users are able to send them a Neomail. Users may also block people who they do not want to come in contact with.
The website automatically "censors" Neomails, and disallows foul and/or inappropriate language. If users include inappropriate language in their Neomail, it will not go through to the intended receiver. They are redirected to a page that explains why their Neomail is unacceptable, also giving them the option of going back to the Neomail and fixing it. Users are also unable to send any Neomails with the word "username", "password", or anything related.
Neopets also has a "limit" on the number of Neomails that can be sent in a day, or more so, in a certain span of time. This is to prevent the server from slowing down and spamming. Users can save up to 100 Neomails in their inboxes. Users may also save Neomails for up to ninety days in a save folder. This is to make sure the database can handle the amount of users and mail.
Pay features
There are certain features on Neopets that require a user to pay some amount of real money to obtain them.
Neopets Premium
'Neopets Premium' is an extended version of the site, for which members pay $7.99 (US) a month, or $69.95 (US) a year. Different packages may be purchased which include Premium, such as
dial-up internet service. With Premium membership, external ads are removed and certain benefits are added, like extra Neopoints (2,500 NP for signing up and 1,000 NP for each additional month), a neomail.com e-mail address, a customizable portal, more random events, a special message board
avatar that is more difficult for non-Premium members to receive, Premium-only boards, a weekly "Space Faerie" scratch card, and access to
beta versions of games. In addition, Premium users have access to a Super Shop Wizard that searches the entire site for the cheapest items in user-run shops instead of only a portion of the site, though they can only use it a certain number of times per hour. Premium users can also use 'price-only' searches, which show the average of the top ten items available, provided there are more than three on the shop wizard. Because of previous abuse from some users, 'price-only' searches are no longer unlimited.
[26]
Neopian Customisation Mall
The Neopian Customisation Mall, or the NC Mall, is a mall for buying "wearable" items for Neopets. Currently released and opened from its earlier beta phases, the NC Mall has a variety of wearables grouped into categories: Clothing/Shoes, Accessories, Backgrounds, Trinkets, Superpacks, and Other Items. All of these picture add-ons expire within a very short time, so if a user wishes to maintain their picture, they must re-purchase the item in question, for the same amount of money. Users obtain NeoCash by buying it with their real world money through a PayPal account. Many users don't like this, because Neopets was supposed to be 'free', but is increasingly moving away from that original premise. People are complaining that TNT is giving wealthier people an advantage in Neopets, and a main worry is that items bought with real money shouldn't expire, forcing the user to pay over and over again. Many users are worried that over time Neopets would start charging money for everything.
[27]
Controversy
Main articles: Neopets controversy
Neopets has been involved in many controversies. Off the website, issues have been raised about the site's immersive advertising methods
[28] and gambling-based games.
[29] Users have also complained about various security holes/glitches and problems with user interaction towards the Neopets Team. Sometimes glitches within the site have caused the user to lose a large amount of Neopoints or rare items. These users have complained that the items or NeoPoints were not returned. In addition, TNT takes away any Neopoints or items that were given out from a technical site glitch. Advertising has recently increased with several advertisements on nearly every page. However, since this was part of the New Look of Neopets, it was passed over for comment until comparatively recently.
