This is a bit of info that I discovered while browsing another Neopets website. I Just thought some of you might find it interesting. Read the article about it from Forbes.com here: http://www.forbes.com/prnewswire/fe...wire200705311037PR_NEWS_B_MAT_NY_NYTH076.html Edit: Wow, that's a long URL! :shock:
I could see this happening when neopets was bought by Viacom... Viacom also acquired game developer Harmonix for $175 million dollars.... so expect to see more games showing up to... not to mention a bigger push for merchandising.
newbie-bait is a good thing, no matter what you guys think. they are what keep our economy going, instead of good players having to cut each others throats to get a little np
I personally like getting a little violent every once in a while j/k though it is nice to have SOME newbie players I just seems this number is over whelming these days, I asked a simple question on the help board and I got about 10 responses from newbs saying.. I don't know... Or I think I heard about that... But I cant remember annoying...
That's why I stay away from the help boards even though it's supposed to be where you ask for help its full of newbies who don't know the answer who are also trying to seek help lol. BDC is usually where I go when I need a question answered. Most other boards scare me.
Eww ACer!!! Haha jk. Actually I've been in the AC a few times by accident or when some BDC'er wants to tease the AC'ers. Actually I find the AC really nice and helpful. Whenever I have a question about 10 people come to the board and answer it. Although the AC seems to have a rep of mass reporting whenever they see something wrong.
I'm not sure what my opinion is on this. Out of curiosity, I want to see it, but at the same time it just seems so... lame. Neopets is starting to get a very commercialized feel to it, and it seems to be targeting mostly young children. I don't know if this is a good or bad thing, or if it even really matters. I guess we'll see. If it gets too childlike, then it probably won't be much fun for us older players.
I think that newbies are a big part of neopets. From the shop wizards snipes to the auction steals, they never hurt.
