Someone needs to make a masterpost of fucked up Neopets facts because literally every time I reminisce about that game I remember something ridiculous such as
• The prize wheel that would take literal hours to spin and would occassionaly reward you with a screamer
• Neopets having petpets and the petpets having petpetpets which were just parasites
• The laboratory ray that was extremely fucking expensive to use having a chance of turning petpets into piles of ash
• A random chance for the game to just steal neopoints from you every time you navigate pages and there being a leaderboard for the unluckiest people that month
- there’s a game you can only play at 12:00 am to 1:00 am every day
- players lined up en masse for waking up turmaculus and PRAYING that he would be nice enough to eat their goddamn petpet and give them a special site avatar for it
- there was an item that you could buy for millions of neopoints in a “hidden” (used loosely) shop that you could use in the site’s battle feature to turn your opponent’s neopet into another color and species of neopet PERMANENTLY, undoing all their work on getting that rare paintbrush instantly
