Danielowns Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Ok, I played this game for on and off(mostly off :wink: ), for 2 years. And I have noticed all the problems with it, and why runescape is better. 1#. Neopoints. They are the currency. They aren't easy to make, and everything costs a butt load of them. With Runescape and the gold coin, they are easy to make, and most needed items only cost about 1000 of them each(ie, food). 2#. Stupid Idiot spammers on forums. There are a lot of these on the neo boards. So, what does TNT(The Neopets Team) do? Make a player-to-player monitoring system. Real smart. It failed. Jagex made something like that, but they also made FORUM MODS. 3#. Wars. Yes, they have made a lot of them. Wow, for wars, there sure is a small number of casualties. With the God Wars in Runescape, there were many casualties. 4#. Paintbrushes. Yes, nearly everyone wants them. But, the CHEAPEST one is 50,000 neopoints. That takes A LOT of time to earn. It is a lot harder to earn cash than it is on Runescape. To change your appearance on Runescape, voila. Put on different clothes. 5#. Freaking' inflation! The inflation in Neopets is even worse than it is in Runescape. Lets see, an apple on neopets costs about 500 neopoints. On runescape, apples are about 10 gold coins. Jagex tried to stop inflation, and it is working. The Neopets Team has so far, in 8 years of business, done NOTHING to stop inflation. That is my 2 cents on why Runescape>Neopets. Enjoy. Life is as EXTREME as you WANT TO MAKE IT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeekyhbomb Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 OK, you can't really relate the two games together. :? Haha, when I played I just used cheats to make money. Set up 20 accounts, get a Money Tree grabber and some Game players, make 500,000NP a day whilst doing nothing. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXru1n3dXx Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Well even without researching or experience you can tell which of the two are better. I started and quit Neopets in 10 minutes (literally). Just could not stand it. 2#. Stupid Idiot spammers on forums. There are a lot of these on the neo boards. So, what does TNT(The Neopets Team) do? Make a player-to-player monitoring system. Real smart. It failed. Jagex made something like that, but they also made FORUM MODS. This point can go for all games though, theres always the majority of morons that are part of a gaming community spamming away on the forums. However, comparing the two games doesn't really work though, seeing as they are different genres of games.

rocketman089 Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Haha, I use to play neopets yeeaars ago before they went all corporate and sold out. My lil sis plays it and now I can't stand 5 feet from it without all the subliminal marketing scrambling my brains. Gamertag: King Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kido14 Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 You basically had no valid points other than the fact that it's hard to make neopoints and it costs a lot of neopoints to buy certain things. I think you have the wrong idea about inflation and other things like that. Also something that I didn't like about it when I used to play a few years ago is training your neopet was dumb. You pay a large price for a certain item then you have to wait a few to many many hours for the training to be complete. All you get from it is one measly level (in most cases) which is barely even noticable. It's pretty much a pointless game unless you're a little kid or a girl and you want to play a cutsie game.

jsen Posted February 23, 2007 Share Posted February 23, 2007 i played neopets like 6 or 7 years ago and loved it... then my account was banned because of forgetting some $s in my shop and trying to fix it quick [argh.... people try to scam like that] so i fell apart and saw that alombar67 [ but the big thing here... a virtual pet game is virtually uncomparable to a 3d stat building MMORPG... :?

wizjany Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 first, there should be a poll second, the two can't be compared, when I played neopets( that was before I heard about RuneScape of course) I found 10 paintbrushes (like random events) in my first week, so now I have several houndred thousand neopoints but its just too boring to eep playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supercanon14 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 well first of all neopets its not a mmorpg like RS is so there is no capansen 2 compleatley dirfent games now if it was like WOWvsRS then there would be some intrest (never played WOW) DoD:S ownagewhat we have here is a ..um.. failur to communcate check out my steam ID page @ alpha company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldphishies Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 ..............why in the name of God did you play neopets?............... That's my question... :? :? :?

Freesia Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Yes i agree with the first point. There really isn't much good ways to earn np except playing the games. Worse is 1 shot at the game will only give 1k np max and playing the games repeatively and intensively bores me out really fast Strangely with WotLK so near, I wished I could delay it a bit to push through that last TBC content in MH/BT :'(.

unkn0wnwarrior Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 Neopets vs Runescape? How can you compare the two? They are not even close to the same. They are not meant to be the same, or even close to the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyboo2 Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 aargh i feel the general MMO conflicts rising again. Just like WoW players are completely set against RS. nNSo i just settle for sayinng they are all games of different genres and purposes, imcomparible: I wish everyone might say that. NO point flamin different games for being different ayway. Yeah...Some people just go out of their way to ruin other peoples fun.Sounds like Jagex to me...

barnstormers Posted March 19, 2007 Share Posted March 19, 2007 Well neopets seems more like a little kids game and i tried it when i was like 9, and it is still the worst game i have ever seen. I mean, if you don't feed your neopet, it runs away. And it costs way to much to do anything, you like need to get a higher score every time in the games to actually make the neopoints. Overall, the game sucked Thanks to Hardwick246 for the sig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
