I agree. I wish everone would just get off of them. They need to make money somehow. I'd like to see one of you be in charge of Neopets,see how easy it is. I admit I'd be upset if the whole SITE needed to be payed for..but its just ONE LITTLE PART. Its not big deal,nothing special.

I don't really get the whole Neopets Premium Dial-Up Service though. What's this "neopoints, avatars, special items, and much more!" They're talking about? Are they giving out new stuff for free to the people who use it?
I have a problem with them making special 'PREMIUM MEMBERS ONLY' items, games, etc.

Why? If someone is paying for a portion of the site, shouldn't they be entitled to extra features?

Neopets.com made a promise that we'd NEVER have to pay to use this site, and I consider that to mean that we'd never have to pay to use ANY portion of the site.

I would be very careful if you do sign up. It's been mentioned before, but the terms you agree to let them give out your information to third parites which allows them to contact you (very contradictory to the main site's T&C)
Mon Aug 02, 2004 10:22 pm
Where can I find this "promise"?
Besides, the part you're concerned with (that offers "Neopoints, Avatars, Special Items... and much more!") isn't the site itself, it's a dial-up service. You're paying to use the Internet, not Neopets.
As for the Webmail, I paid for the trial version myself. You can't get anything with it that you couldn't get from Neopets.com, besides a @neomail web address. The avatar they offer is the I Love Neomail av.

I think it could be worse. At least they're not granting any special priviliges like free mystery island training, or unlimited score sending, or access to Fyora's Hidden Garage Sale or somesuch. Other sites would do exactly that.

I'd pay for it if it would insure that in a glitch, I got my items back.

I'd pay for it if I got free mystery island training, unlimited score sending, and access to Fyora's Hidden Garage Sale
