Pink Poogle Toy Forum

there is one thing i do like about zetapets: the pets start out as babies and then grow up. everything else about zetapets is not worth mentioning.

I think you're over-reacting here. o_O
The Eyrie is based after a griffon, as is that thing.
Just because they have a dragon pet doesn't mean they're copying them. If I draw a dragon, am I copying Neopets now? :\
And that thing looks nothing like a Cybunny, I'm sorry.

I'm not saying the site is totally original, I'm pretty sure they've borrowed some stuff from Neopets, but come on.

First of all,I'm gonna ask you to stop mocking her. Second of all,please stop being rude.

All virtual pet sites are pretty alike,Neopets is just on top of them,Pimboli.

Yeah.. but. the. pets. are. so. cute,. couldn't. help. myself.

P.S. That. isn't. a. Griffon,. technically. Griffons. are. half. bird. half. cat,. not. half. bird. half. monkey.



I. Got. That. Off. Veropets. Strange,. Huh?

neopets is just a tamagotchi on the internet. It's just the next logical step. neopets was found and purchased by big bussiness man Doug Dohring and injected with oodles of upper management and cash. That is the only reason they are the most well known.

Neoquest II has parts of Runescape in it.


Zetapets was made by a guy named Adam who is also registered here. Zetapets has few games, is too new and very laggy considering the detail put into it.

Yes Neopets Inc sued Dizzypets for stealing graphics.

When you look at the whole history of virtual pets. The tomagochi or whatever it was 8 years ago was the first(I think). Neopets is 5/6??? Years old and monopolised everything when it was incorporated.

Other pet sites including:

Monopets
-There's always a restart/reset in which all items are revamped. In neopets terms this could mean your Thyoras Tear could turn into a pile of dung the next day and a Faerie Slingshot the next next day
-Too few pets to even think of adopting one
-Too buggy
-Few Players
-Extreme Lag
-Extreme Glitches (including an easy cheat on a game)
-The owner of the site(lisa) just rents out websites to people to create their own virtual pet site.
-I myself have quit this site although there are much more places then neopets. The shops are closed at the time I'm at my computer.

Powerpets
-More of virtual pet site because you pet REALLY needs to be taken care of. Besides the site is based on facts of real life animals. Heck theres even a bookshelf for you to read stuff about them
-Darn these are Shoyru cute animals:[url]
-Uses .Asp codes resulting in less glitches then neopets
-Has the next biggest number of owners 300,000
-I use it and if you register here You get an instant 3k PB(currency) and some for me http://www.powerpets.com/signup.asp?rfID=437396
-It's has an easy and effective way to restock. Autobuyers have not yet been reported but they will come eventually and powerpets is prepared.
-The "battledome" there is a completely different style. Which includes
2-4 player battles.
-Padam is the equivalent of Dr. Sloth there
-Shoyru cute animal as everyone wanted http://images.powerpets.com/image/pets/ ... _happy.swf (img.name.com more of a neopets style:>)

Nutrinopets(which sounds awfully like a cereal company)

-No opinion cuz I just signed up
-There are way more Shoyru like cute animals http://www.nutrinopets.com/images/pets/Scryptic.png

There ya have it. There are some other pet sites and most of them are pay to play . Lets just hope neopets won't be like them.

*If you do want to refer me just click the links above* You can't refer anyone in monopets.

Edit: Yeah Either Powerpets or Zetapets is gonna be the successor of neopets when neopet's economy collaspes because of the New Member hoarding the retired items when they are not reset.

ah... I hate these sites...
it's making me mad....
but how cares...
Neo is the best of them (except that the Pets don't grow or can give birth...)

Doug Dohring in the Apprentice II? He's very Trump-like style I think.

Doug Dohring similar to Donald Trump??? I don't think so, although I'm sure Dohring wishes that were true!

For sure... Dohring = million(s?) Trump = billion(s?)
The two figures are worlds apart.

But back to the topic... if you do your own coding and graphics and naming your not copying anyone more that anyone else.

neopets even used to have the word tamagotchi in their html META tags.

Indeed, it's not copying unless you actually copy.

Basically every pet site on the internet has a little bit of Neopets in it. I mean, you can't have a virtual pet site without a few of the basic elements.
I do admit though that I have noticed that some of those do have Neopet-like species, and that does sometimes annoy me, but its usually nothing more than a vague similarity.
I've signed up for quite a few alternate virtual pet sites, but the only ones I've really gotten into are Neopets and Powerpets (and probably Zetapets). Powerpets isn't really a Neopets wanna-be; I think educating people about the proper care of animals is their main goal. You can adopt real pet species (I have a Maine Coon and a Somali). There is a possibility that your pet will 'die' if you don't feed it, so you have to be very responsible of them, and can't just let them starve.
Anyhow, I just signed up for Zetapets, and got a Leo. The pets on that site are really cute. Oh, I was wondering if anyone knows how long it will take for him (my pet) to grow up (although I do think as a cub he is very cute)?

There are lots of Neopets copycats out there. But Neopets has no competition when it coems down to mosst popular.

Neopets has compitition but other petsites are about 2 years old. Who would want to see Doug Dohring on Apprentice 2 (I still think he's the best) . And finally maybe end the evil that sloth has.....

Neopets has been the only pet site on the internet before 2002. It was lucky for neopets inc to monopolize it.

it took mine a month. this was last year, though, so they may have changed it since then.


these sites are not "copying" neopets. no one accuses hotmail of copying yahoo mail. it's good to have variety on the internet.
