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.

 Never-Ending Birthday Bash
A colourful pamphlet had made its way into Ali’s mailbox. The Electric Shoyru reached in to pull out the leaflet to check out what new event was being advertised. Vivid balloons and a large birthday cake filled in the empty space, and had large words printed in the centre:“Join us in Celebration for our 25th Birthday Bash!"

 Castle Planner's Journal: 1000 Years
The chiming of distant bells signalled the changing of the hour, and came as a great relief for Lisha as she jumped out of her chair. She had been so patiently waiting to escape the confines of the library.

 Triccity's Travels: Mystery Island
I wasn’t sure how far I travelled or for how long before I heard something big heading my way. I couldn’t hide and I doubted running would help since I didn’t know how fast the thing was moving.
