Neopets Review

Neopets was once a very fun site for college-age kids like myself. As time went on it became more "kid friendly" in various ways, yet it still has many parts that adults can love like guilds, chatting, and games.  However, in recent years, the site has started filling up with advertisements. Also, the recent "improvements" to the site have all been made to "force" players to buy items in real-life.  For example; to clothe your neopet properly, one either has to play many games and save their neopets for a long time, or they can go to the store and buy cards for the NC mall. On the NC mall they can buy clothes that are 10X better than any of the neopoint clothes.  If this isn't enough of an issue for us poor college kids who are playing on the site; the cards are expensive, and not enough points are given for buying each card. The site used to be fun, now it's a total bore for someone without cash handy...
