In case you missed - GREAT Neopets News!

I didn't see anybody talking about the news here, so I thought that I could share a summary.

The Neopets Team announced today that they're under new management. They're no longer affiliated with Jumpstart (which announced their closure back in June) or their parent company NetDragon.

In their blog post in the official Neopets Medium page, they confirm that they are now an independent company:

(Dominc Law, worked for NetDragon and was an old school Neopets player. He put together a team to work on saving the brand.)

Also in that blog post the team talks about how they are well aware of the problems the site has been through in the last decade, they acknowledge the lack of resources which resulted in the Neopets website being left broken.

Going ahead, they are going to focus on community requests, such as speeding up the process of Flash Games conversion, clearing up the page conversion backlog, bug fixes, mobile compatibility issues and improving customer support.

Most importantly, in my opinion, they clear up that they WILL NOT go forward with any Metaverse bullshit, and will instead work on creating a game that feels like Neopets:

At this point, they have secured $4M in funding from various (unnamed) investors with additional funding from the management buyout. For the first time in forever, it looks like TNT has the resources they need to move the brand forward. In the blog post, they mention they have already hired developers and artists to work on the fixes the site needs.

From what it looks like, the game will be a mobile social life-simulation, parallel to the current website. We don’t have to worry that neopets.com will be replaced by a mobile app.

As of now, they have announced:

A brand new plot, scheduled for early 2024

A 2 million(!) NeoCash giveaway

More transparency with monthly updates from the team, scheduled AMAs

Neopets will be under the control of a new, unified entity: World of Neopia, Inc - the website will remain the same (neopets.com)

A Brand Ambassador Program

No longer going forward with NFT/Metaverse stuff

At the end, they published a FAQ with some answers that I found to be good and very interesting:

You can read the entire blog post here.

Or watch the YouTube announcement (which is way shorter):

#neopets #putting my journo degree to a good use i think #i am in no way affiliated with TNT or jumpstart or netdragon etc #i'm just really really happy #things look bright for once and i'd like to share the news #i know some people might be skeptical but i'd like to be optimistic for once and trust the team #most of them nowadays are old players if i'm not mistaken #i don't think they like to see the website in shambles as it was #also really goddamn glad they're moving away from crypto shit #i appreciate the transparency #also be nice to me i'm shy #Youtube #i admit i got a little lazy by the end #nostalgia #y2k nostalgia #kidcore #will these tags even show up

the ultimate ag historicals lineup! (as it should be!) :D

(shoutout to @bohemian-rhapsody-in-blue, whose tags reminded me to make an updated version with courtney, claudie and isabel & nicki! and here's how the lineup looks in modern ag books)

#american girl #american girl doll #ag dolls #the squad has grown so much! #if this was in an actual ag book they'd go onto a third page!! :o #it was so much fun to add the new girls! :D #the twins' pic is a bit grainy but it's scanned at the highest quality i have #putting their stylized selves from the cover would look so off! :o #if only claudie's second book was paperback... then it would have glossy (and clearer) paper! #claudie's was also scanned from her inside cover but luckily that's a lot bigger! ;) #the descriptions for the new quartet and the beforever girls come from the ag website #except for maryellen being inventive! (a relic from the old edit) ;) #the last time ag released a trio they took a 3 year break so hopefully this will be the lineup for a while! ;)

some people think you can’t be cool and cute at the same time. i, however, have a huge brain and am able to recognize that coolness and cuteness are not mutually exclusive and can, in fact, coexist

#tell me why i'm seeing takes from twitter when i don't even use that website anymore. also this is the FUNNIEST possible #thing that anyone could say. it's literally #13 year old middle school boy type shit #''I CAN'T BE CUTE!!! I'M COOL >:((('' you know. LMAO?

i'm sorry, isaac, but it was inevitable

edit: hold on it's gunner wright's b-day today! happy birthday to the man who brought my favorite traumatized engineer to life

#he is so marketable #this was gonna be a low-effort silly doodle how did this happen #the power of my dead space obsession i guess #also i am slowly trying to acclimate myself to isaacs new design #i color picked from his portrait on the website lol #still love old isaac though #dead space #isaac clarke #dead space art #trashmann treasure

THIS IS SO EVIL. if its from the same user then spam reblogs are something unique to this site and can be used for fun or to get a point across. but even worse is if that it targets the same post from different blogs. i follow the blogs i follow for a reason. i LIKE to see their posts. even if ive already seen it from someone else. because they could have something new to say. or i know who likes what. literally dont do this its the worst decision

#the platform is for BLOGGING. BLOGGING. #LIKE???? you would think they would prioritize the…. blogging aspects….. #like seeing posts from WHO YOU FOLLOW instead of an algorithm. and seeing ALL OF THE POSTS from who you follow #i know with every other social media crashing and burning theyre seeing this as their chance to become a major platform #BUT LIKE. DO YOU SEE THAT THE OTHER PLATFORMS ARE CRASHING AND BURNING??? THE ONES YOURE TRYING TO COPY???? #like if you are trying to overhaul your website to appeal to new users you will alienate all of your old ones #ones that have been here for a literal decade and a half #and you aren’t guaranteed to actually bring all those new people in. and if they are already ditching an old platform whos to say they wont #ditch tumblr after a few months #like can we just have the app BE WHAT IT IS!!!!!!! not every app needs to be the same!!!! it negates the point of having different apps #in the first place!!!! #UGHHHH

i've noticed that obviously since it's been a few years since the phandom's heyday that now people are starting to make like...retrospectives and "deep dives" and icebergs and shit about the phandom and the behaviours prevalent at the time and how phandom was like a textbook example of the worst of what we now know to be parasocial relationships. i've watched these videos and i?? find myself getting irritated and annoyed?? like these videos claim they're doing a deep dive and then don't talk about the good shit aside from like idk 2 sentences being like "as an ex phandom member i had some good times in the phandom but damn! people were a bit crazy sometimes!" like?? look ok i was like 11 years old when i started watching dan and phil. they were my first experience with internet fan culture. these men literally raised me and my sense of humour and so many little aspects of my personality are things that i imitated from them when i was like 12 and trying to become someone i felt was worth being. none of these people have really talked about just how fucking lonely and isolated the phandom was in their real lives but these two emo fringed dorks managed to create community for dorky, slightly emo young people like themselves. it just feels like the people trying to discuss the phandom don't really understand the oddly profound connection that so much of their audience had with them.

#the rat speaks #dan and phil #phandom #im fully aware that im still sooo parasocial with them (like every single other dan and phil fan on this website) but genuinely!!! #there just feels like this weird detachment from the people making these videos and the actions they're talking about #and not in a way that feels like an old fan trying to be objective #but more like an outside observer who just wants to point at WeiRdO iNtErNeT MoMEnTs
