25 Reasons We're Still Here, 25 Years Later
When friends ask: why are you still playing Neopets? Isn’t that game from the early 2000’s?! You think for a while, but you can’t pinpoint the one exact reason why you’re still here - is it the vibes? Do you miss your pets? Or do you like feeling rich as a neo-billionaire? There are many different reasons why many of us choose to spend hours of our lives immersed in Neopia. So let us help you out with this list of 25 reasons why we’re still here, 25 years later!
1. Re-living the nostalgia - Neopets hasn’t changed! The core site, the art work, the cast of characters, the world map of Neopia and all its lands are still intact, just as you remembered in the days of yore. Neopets has been preserved as a treasured time travel capsule to your old beloved digital toybox.
2. Escaping the real world. Most users are adults now, which means real life responsibilities. And sometimes, we could use a break from those real life obligations by dropping in to visit our pixelated pet world.
3. Your pets are starving so you’re back to feed them. Though, you know better now than to feed them omelettes - after all, those need to be saved for the annual Faerie Festival Recycling. Instead, to the Neolodge they go!4. Achieving dream pets is possible now! Speaking of the Faerie Festival, the once ever elusive Rainbow Fountain Faerie now makes regular appearances during this annual event to grant the dream pet colour of your choosing. What's more, Quest Log has also swooped into the scene. Re-releasing those rare paint brushes and morphing potions help close the gap in making those dreamies come true!
5. Customising pets. You’re an adult and you have the money to buy NC (or more accurately, the decision-making powers to do so). Complete your dream pets by dressing them up. Mix and match, exchange fun ideas, create different fitting combinations, spend hours on the NC trading boards to find a white Radiant Glow, and bask in the satisfaction of nailing the finishing look!

 The Initiate
The young red Techo looked up at the towering stone walls covered with hieroglyphs. Some he could make out as saying, “Order of King Coltzan I”, “Temple of King Coltzan I”, “Founder of Sakhmet” and “First High Cleric”. Over the walls, he could see the columns and rooftops of the buildings inside, silhouetted against the light of the sun and hazy in the desert heat.

It was a quiet night in the Haunted Woods. The moon was a crescent above the ancient tower and the light made the barren tree branches look like crackling black lightning. It was chilly but not yet cold. Nothing was falling from the sky-- not rain, snow, nor Spyders. Collab with darkpixie28

 Magnum Imperium: The Candidate
However, there was energy, a magical current that flowed throughout. It was wild and dangerous. It was also unstable; it’s temperature would soar to scorching heights one moment and plummet to frosty depths the next.

It was a bad year. It was the rotting season, and we were weak, but we could survive it as we had survived many bad years. That year a monstrous white bird arrived on the shore.
