We spoke with Neopets CEO Dominic Law about his plans for the 25-year-old virtual pet game, and why a lot of them involve keeping the website exactly how we remember it.
wow, I did not expect the flood of emotion that came when I saw the old pet designs are back
my first pet is a gnorbu named Sylfrancesca (I forgot the pain of finding a unique name that isnt hideous lol)
my die for pets so far are nostalgic baby gnorbu, plushie kourga, and baby kourga. I wanted a baby kourga so bad. the GRUNDO. i have a strong bias towards plushies. grey ixi, fairie xweetok. I wonder if draiks are still insanely difficult to get? and krawks!
My old account got purged at some point. I lost the password and the email address connected to it, so it wasn’t a big deal, I guess. But it had tons of rare stuff, and it was just cool to have had an existing account from ~25 years ago that I could point to, lol

Will the wheel of mediocrity stop spinning? Are the healing springs used up 100% of the time?
