whoah, never knew chia's were that big, my faerie chia is 125 cm high and weighs 88 lbs

Grundo's Gym used to be a Neopets game that because very popular due to the exponential increase in Neopoints that you could earn. You had to have gym cards and everything. (You can find a few floating around now, retired and useless--I think I have one in my deposit box) I don't remember it having anything to do with the weight of the pet, it was just... a game.

My best theory for why they ended Grundo's Gym is that too many people became rich off it, after mastering it. They always seem to end the good things.

Just how many could you make?

Millions. *Sigh* Those were the days...

If you look way back into the archives of the Neopian times, you'll see people even wrote how-to articles on becoming a millionaire off of Grundo's Gym.

Was there a limit? It seems like you could make unlimited NP off of it, as soon as you got far enough.

...that's not good. o_o My baby aisha weighs 53 pounds.
My red Aisha weighs only three pounds more.
My Desert Kyrii weighs 47 pounds...and my green Zafara weighs 117 pounds. o_o

I don't believe they really instituted the idea of limits at the time, at least not in that game. So you could make as much as you wanted as long as you were willing to sit there and work on it.

Which is also probably why they decided to get rid of Grundo's Gym, because it was economically advantageous. People could make so much NP off of it that it sort of destroys the basis of how a market economy works. The purchasing power of those few individuals soon became so high that they had the ability to buy whatever items it was that they wanted, and this throws the market askew with the laws of supply / demand, etc. It gets a bit complicated.
