My experience playing Neopets:
-try to get money so I can get a cool paintbrush
-never get money, never get any cool paintbrushes
-spin the Wheel of Excitement
-get my piece of omelette and jelly
-repeat for 24 years
Extremely relatable.
I bought transmogrification potions which were cheap at the time and turned all of my pets into mutants
Just like real life, but Neopets has way more jelly, lol
Then randomly a faerie event happens and you're there for it and get a faerie paint brush.
Seeing that bunny changed the trajectory of my entire life. My depression is cleared, my acne is gone, and my bank account is full.
omg same thing happened to me too!
Nah I'm sorry but one of us has to be lying
@@The1MrJ Clearly it's you, the second I saw that bunny I felt the positive pull of the string of fate in my life.
But we cant have all felt it lol
See you in the psych ward brad
I remember when there were neopet happy meals (aging myself here) and I would BEG my parents to get me happy meals just for the neopet inside and we would trade them at my daycare such good times!! I never got to play the game because we didn’t have internet though so now I can live my childhood dream!!
I still have the ixie from my happy meal. She's seen better days but is still kicking. They should totally do a happy meal thing again.
I went out of my way and saved almost 10 dollars just so I could buy 5 or 6? I needed those codes! The speckled or starry painted chombies! The memories come back ❤
yes!!! i remember when my parents and i were traveling to see family, i begged for mcdonalds for every meal on that roadtrip because i wanted all the neopet toys!! i miss them omg
same
All my plushie neos from that era are mostly hidden now, but I still have my Quiggle and now I've been adding some frog friends for him.
A. I'm signing back up for Neopets right now
B. Your bunny did not ruin the video, they enhanced it
I was convinced that I've never played this game in my whole life, until I saw that cybunny and suddenly all my knowledge and love for neopets hit me like a truck.😭
Played Neopets when it was newish and going to the money tree and giant omelette every day is seared into my brain. Also that damn soup kitchen because I was permanently broke. I still adore Jubjubs ^^
I’m very happy that neopets is coming back. I’m a 30 year old man now but I remembered my 18 year old account and managed to log back on and forgot I’m a neocoinillionaire 😅. So this is a super helpful video!
After I watched this video I set a couple goals, made myself a wish list and now I've been playing non stop. It's literally taken over my whole life
Here’s my testimonial as a returning player who Amanda inspired to play Neopets from her last vid months ago: It really is sooooo much funner as an adult who can do adult things like reading and Googling. I’ve been playing consistently daily and managed to get my old account back, so I’m making so much money from Food Club bets. Take Amanda’s advice if you’re on the fence and try it! The Neopets renaissance is upon us.
P.S. The Neopets plushies, framed photos, and the Kougra hat?! You are sooooo real for that. Much love!
I tried playing it when I was younger and would just never really understand HOW to play and would fall out and then get back in, on again off again, so thank you for this! You're building us up for success, we don't deserve you ❤🙌
I basically solely went to the tree and to get a piece of an omelet, and then I played Hannah and the ice caves, and then I logged off. Lol
I know this is the NeoPets video - and I'm very psyched to watch it - but I wanted to quickly say thank you. This morning I completed my ACNH Museum after years of trying, and your channel is what inspired me to keep going. Thanks for being hilarious, and for teaching us about the animal kingdom beyond the Animal Crossing. (Plus, were it not for you, I may have never learned the word "himbo." Still waiting for the opportunity to use it in a sentence, and flex my impressive vocabulary.🐓) 💜
I watched this whole video even though I’ve been playing Neopets for 20 years. I’m so glad Neopets is making a comeback!
same here! More fully grown adults with adult responsibilities, JOIN US
have I also been playing neopets through the dark ages since I was a child and still come back to it now as a 28 yr old adult? yes. did I still watch this video and appreciate every second of it? yes. ALSOOOOOO I got the grundo discarded plushie avi during your video so I think its GOOD LUCK!!! TYSM
i am so in love w your bunny its insane seeing him cleared my skin and cured my depression
Our lord and savior is here to spread the holy gospel!
I miss the old art for neopets so much. wish they’d change it back
me too!!!☝️😩
Looks more expressive...
I have no idea what’s going on but I’m loving the enthusiasm! Happy to have THE trusted source Amanda tell me about the long and intense history of Neopets
i was expecting a few tutorials and was delighted to see a more 'philosophical' take. i think a lot of older games where you set your own goals freak out new players
amanda: there is also a loophole
me (neopets brain): there is also a lupe hole
why did this lowkey actually convince me to want to play???
i did for only a LITTLE bit as a kid, but it was WAY too complicated for my like 7 yr old brain and could never figure it all out LOL
but now as an adult idk... i DO love clicking around and collecting and caring for little guys so... i might make an account for fun heheheh
"Neopets is hard" that is so true! I played neopets in the portuguese "server " and while I was out for some years, all the servers (outside the english one) went down.. I heard neopets were coming back and I decided to see how it was, I found my old account and I was having fun.. But I was stuck in the non-existent portuguese server with even more broken code and with weird glimpses of the english one... It took me hours to simply EXIT the server and put the page in full english... I felt like me and my neopets were existing in a parallel universe that looked alright but the more we stayed, the more stranger it got... Like the universe was slowing broking and we saw through wormholes (probably some broken codes and forgotten links) what the real universe should be like and all I had to do to end this was switch to the english option but I didn't knew how!
I don't know how my child self managed to play this shit
the neolodge will keep your pet fed even at the cheapest option, it's like 150np per pet per month
But do you really want your pet staying at a roach motel?
amanda your neopets content has reawakened my obsession with neopets tysm
i got back into my old account from 2009 and discovered i had a BABY UNI in my possession then i accidentally used a starry grrarl morphing potion on it thinking it was a healing potion
😭
I've been playing Neopets on and off since I was 9 (33 now!). Been around since the very beginning, and it's been so crazy seeing all the ups and downs of the website, and how much it has changed, but also.. in a way, stayed the same. This, plus Neopets more present social media presence these days, has really inspired me to log back in and hopefully get back into the swing of playing!
Man… as someone who always sucked at restocking I feel a weird satisfaction knowing it’s not really a thing anymore, but also insanely angry that bots are what ruined it. I was always salty though cause my internet is and was so garbage it made restocking impossible.
i would love a part 2 only because this is one of the first times in a while i have been able to sit down for an hour and watch something
I haven't played Neopets in over 10 years but dang this video has me going back. (Also you're hilarious! Just subscribed and excited to watch more of your vids lol). (OH MY GOD as I watched this and was pound surfing I found and got a Draik that was painted as a pirate!)
still obsessed with the baby neopets like 15 years later but i could never get them when i was a kid... finally i can fulfill a lifetime dream
i needed this 😭 i want to get back into neopets but i haven’t played in over a decade and it’s so overwhelming
I clicked the Like button within the first 5 seconds. I love your Neopets videos! I am also a childhood Neopets player now back as a fully grown adult. 😅
I remember I first started to play Neopets around 2006 when I got my first computer and low-key, I was OBSESSED with it. Neopets was pretty much on par with Club Penguin; literally everyone and anyone was talking about it. You couldn't meet a single person who didn't have an account, or at the very least, some basic knowledge of what Neopets was. I haven't played in a very long time, I think I stopped somewhere around 2010 after I lost the password to my account and I couldn't access my email, so it sort of faded to obscurity. But seeing Amanda's fresh and informative introspective on Neopets, sprinkled with some of her on-brand wit and humor, honestly makes me want to make a new account and start anew from the ground up.
insanely jealous of those Negg statues and your other figures. Love the lil paintbrush and avatar hangings! Also seeing a joke about the Onceler fandom in 2023 made me groan internally LMAO
I played it all the time when I was a kid. I remember when McDonald's had the toys with the codes attached to the toys. I would be in the playplace (I was a kid lol) and would pick up tags that other kids would rip off because the codes gave you online prizes like paintbrushes and the like XD
So for some reason, while I was cleaning my house just now I though to myself. “Hmm what happened to Neopets?” So I looked it up on CZcams and wow you just posted a video about it 😮😮 crazy! Thank you for the video update that I absolutely needed without knowing I needed it. 😅
You don't see a lot of love for Neopets these days! This is so cool :)
I just started this video because I have never once understood how to play neopets. I loved the look of it as a kid and even had a Jubjub plush I got from Limited Too. I would always try to make an account but because 1. I couldn’t have a pink and blue Jubjub immediately to match my plush and 2. I just couldn’t understand how to start, i never got far with it. Also, that bunny is adorable, its like her head wasn’t screwed on all the way.
Amazing 😂 I’m so glad I got back into it a couple months ago. I stay at home with my 5 month old and it’s brought nothing but joy in the times where he’s up 937 times in the middle of the night haha 😂
Tyyyyy for finally teaching me how to play neopets
THANK YOU BESTIE ITS MY PLEASURE!! 😭💕
Thank you so much Miss Amanda Files for this amazing video on Neopets, your Neopets Era is 💅✨
Because of you and your wonderful discord server, my poor friends and family are so sick of hearing about my neopets and I will be forever grateful for that
PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!
BLESS you pronounce Aisha the same way as me!!
I've been playing on and off since probably 2001ish. I've stuck around this whole time due to the Art community that surrounds the Beauty Contest - I cannot describe how satisfying it feels to earn BC trophies for your pet lookups. Neopets genuinely fueled my insanely high art output in middle/high school. The site's been in a rough shape for the last ~5 years, but it's great to see things are turning around. And I love finding people like you who love the site as much as me 😄
The BC contests + my dad pirating photoshop when I was ten= the two single most formative things in my life, no joke. I was an art major. And it started with a zafara with way too much dodge and burn
Rootbeer content omg my heart 🥺💖
Thank you for the video queen!! The Poetry Competition has always been intimidating to me but I definitely wanna give it a try now. 🤠
This set dressing is everything Amanda, so much to see and really enhances the experience thank you
Also saving up to buy map pieces! There are several, but the most sought-after ones are lab ray and pet pet lab ray which give random affects including species and color change, and the forgotten beach which can give dubloons and 10k np!
Neopets are not my thing but I'm interested in the history and honestly this is a great video and you put so much work into this and it shows!
oh i'm sat i'm taking notes (i already know how to play but nonetheless i am sat)
up until recently i was just playing these videos in the background, but then i got VERY sucked into neopets and now im watching them all with a renewed understanding and passion. thank you amanda i will die for you
the intro made me realise that because flash is dead, there will now be kids who won't know what it's like to play coolmathgames at school
Omg you’re so funny 😂
When you said “bad time management skills and addictive personality” I really felt that. Idk why I started playing again, but it’s too late to turn back now
This was so helpful! I’m a brand new returning player (made an account in 2009 but never got as far as even adopting a pet) and have been figuring out how to play the last couple weeks. I’m so addicted already, on my way to joining the Neopian 1%💅🏻
Big pro tip: don't forget about the Advent Calendar in December! TNT gives out a free gift every day, often including rare or one-of-a-kind items! I'm still bitter about missing out on Roxton's Trusty Bowie Knife last year...
Its so interesting that Neopets seemingly hasnt had a redesign since the early 2000s. It looks just like I remember it looking when I was young.
I am so happy they put the game on the right path, it was very sad to see this phenomenon slowly die. So relieved that they have been trying their hardest to keep the memories alive!
Neopets was everything. I had so many of the toys, cards, etc. I might have to start playing again so I can finally get a paintbrush..
Love this new type of format for you!! You're a star bb
As a complete noobie who has seen all your other neopets videos (well and videos in general) I am so intrigued and cannot wait for the deep dive!
You are such an amazing person who knows exactly what we all need! You got me back into neopets and I need major help so thank you Amanda! You’re my fave CZcamsr and knower of all things animals ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much! I am absolutely obsessed. It's so much fine getting back into all of this!
oh my god girl your background is everythinggg. love all your vids and especially love the neopets content 🎉
i joined Neopets about a month ago on a whim, never played it in my life, only really knew it from hearsay and PetPet Park(which i DID play, extensively) and then around that time new started coming out about neopets and it's been really exciting to see
just checked, my first neopet is over 40 days old, n like,, im so proud!!! I feel lucky being able to experience all this(even though i'm constantly faced with reminder that I'm missing out on a lot of flash-based content) I've been having fun wandering around the map, playing solitaire(its all i do, i swear) and feeding my pets. I am gonna have to watch this full guide tho, i can't find much to do past dailies linked in jellyneo
Neopets always intimidated me as a kid. I was more into gaia online because I was able to figure it out a little lol but now that I'm actually an adult I might have some more brain power to play
First of all, I’m obsessed with that little bunny. Second of all, your home decor is everything to me
I'm just starting the video now but I'm so excited for this. Your Neopets video a couple months ago got me thinking about Neopets again for the first time in over 10 years. When I heard about the leadership change a couple weeks ago, I decided to get back into it and I've been having so much fun. I was lucky I was able to get back into my old account (albeit it getting hacked and all my stuff stolen) so I wasn't starting from complete scratch. I've been seeing so many other returning players. It's very exciting!
Inner Utah Morman Momma Bear is something that will live with me for the rest of my life, thank you
omg this video was so good amanda!! also i’m in love with all your neo plushies
Thank you for this!! Even playing this since I was in elementary school there's so much I never understood about Neopets til now. Like i'm JUST discovering how awesome job coupons are?!
Thanks for making this video, so exicted to see its making a comeback! Loved it as a kid. Tried a few times to get back into it after flash died but just couldnt. Its heartening to see that theyre actively working on it again!
I love the Meepit Juice Break outro music
This video is a work of art. Your humor is perfect. Instant subscribe
It's so crazy coming back as an adult and some of the things that I didn't understand or were too hard are so fun now!
I’ve been waiting for this one
Thank you so much for this video. I just got back into Neopets because you reminded me that it's still here, and I have to start over because I don't have access to my old account. I don't remember a whole lot about what to do, since I haven't been on in like 19 years, so this is so dang helpful. ☺️
I just got back into Neopets after almost a decade of not playing because of Maybe: Salem talking about it and then CZcams recommending things to me, and this video cleared up some things for me so thanks so much! I really am praying for the true Neopets renaissance it deserves.
Thank you for making this. I recently started playing again after years of not playing. I love it, even tho some of my favorite games died with flash. With only 9 days of playing I have 50,000 np in my bank already. If you wanna play, jump right in. There is so much lore, it's crazy
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE LETS GO
I remember playing Neopets at University in the early 00s. Great to see it's still going!
Your bunny saved me and payed off all my debts. Thank you for adding him to this video and let him know the video is better with him
Neopets is back with a vengence good video
you’re a legend for this one
im here, im queer, and now i have a blue eyrie and a new account and am so freaking excited AAAAAAAAAAAA
I appreciated the Grandpa bit as a YGO fan lol The crossover between Neopets and YGO may be few but we do exist
YESSS i'm always so happy when my weirdo little jokes that i know only a few people will appreciate reach their target audience ☺
oh i’ve been WAITING for this one
Definitely time to get back into neopets, I hope the beauty contest is still running- I LOVE drawing my babies
It took me forever to get around to watching this vid fully but I'm in, I'm back in Neopets. It's been YEARS. I love it.
Still have my account from 2004 I log back in every year for the advent calendar to get some stuff but I know i missed alot of lore cause I stopped playing from like 2010 lol def subscribed for the lore video
Hello, this is my 4th time watching to consume all this information as I dive back in. Thanks so much for the content. Just turned 30, and this is how I'm taking breaks at work now lol
I'm old and playing again.
Neopets is so diverse and quite educational. You can run a shop, invest in stocks, negotiate deals on the trading post... there's simple physics games like Golf, puzzle games... you can get jobs and you have to figure out what'll make you the most points...
There is way more to Neopets than a lot of games (like Animal Crossing) that people aren't "ashamed" of to play. And like you said... it hasn't died in over 20 years! (I was THERE in '99!)
If they just stop massing with it... like that NFT nonsense... and actually developed it, Disney will come a-knocking before long.
king coltzan is what officially inspired me to get into neopets i will go anywhere for a dilf
this is about to be the best video ive ever watched in my life (ive never visited the neopets website one single time)
This is great because every time I make a neopet I can't figure out how to explore the website or how to play games with it so this will be really helpful
u are an influencer queen bc as soon as i watched you make a neopet, i signed up to neopets!!! amazing video
Idk how this got recommended to me because I haven't played neopets since like 2005 but you're SO FUNNY 😭 I remember my favorite stuff being the scratch off tickets and the game where you throw balls at the clowns or something
My first neopet in like 3rd grade was a Chia 🤗
THANK YOU WTF this is actually so helpful omg im gonna have sm fun
I was a neopets kid for suuure. I made pet pages. Grinded for a year for paintbrushed etc. I wont be getting back into it but it brings me so much joy it never died and is having a resurgence and people are loving it. ❤
I loved this video and you're such a great narrator! pro tip! Buy the items before you accept the job so you'll get the max np in the bonus!
The way you explain things is so fun!! Def subscribed and I’m gonna need you to hurry up on that lore video!! Been playing since I was little and didn’t even know coltzan was MURDERED?! Also “it’s ok if you think he’s hot they drew him hot” 🤣💀 yeah I need that lore vid and also another vid where you just rank which neopets characters are hottest and why lol
Thank you for this video.
Really appreciate the long informative video. I can finally enjoy neopets. Been confused about it since the mid 2000's lol
Thank you !!! I've been wanting to get back into neopets and this seems like a great primer, also youtube says this is a video about animal jam which is really funny
