A Returning Player's Guide to Keeping Busy



With the recent Gong cha collaboration, we’ve seen a new influx of players emailing TNT to resurrect their old accounts and donning their delightfully cringey Y2K usernames with pride. To those of you, I extend a hearty “Welcome back!” I hope you find Neopets even more engaging and magical than you did your first time playing. After you’ve been back for a few weeks and have gone through the typical newbie stages: complete the Quest Log tutorial, refamiliarize yourself with the site, clutch your imaginary pearls at all the painted pets available in the pound, caught yourself saying some variation of “In my day, you were a big deal if you owned a Draik,” you may ultimately arrive at the age-old question: now what? All that done, you now find yourself logging in, completing your daily checklist, aimlessly perusing the Neoboards for a few minutes, before you inevitably log out for the day. You’re unsure of where to focus your energy and efforts. You’re seeking a niche activity or community where you can further immerse yourself into the Neopets gameplay, but you’re stuck in decision paralysis because, let’s face it, while Neopets boasts an impressive trove of twenty-eight years’ worth of content, twenty-eight years’ worth of content can be overwhelming. Rest assured we’ve all been there, and I’m here to provide an easily digestible, high-level overview of options to help you fully immerse into the vast world that is Neopets. Here are ideas on activities to complete, goals to strive for, and communities to join.
