I was reading the interesting facts page on pink poogle, and it was dagavoo (or however ya spell that stupid word) all over again. when I was a newbie, long, long ago… well, it was long long ago. I think about yesterday… or three years. *ahem* in some ways, neopets was cooler then. kinda. more games and gadgets now, but I still miss the good ol days. you know how all the chat rooms [message boards] a broken into pieces? well in my prime, they were all one. and Donna was there. she was from the neopets team, but she was one of us. she’d talk to us on the board. someone’d cry cause the pant devil took there money and we’d all comfort her. and we’d pester Donna with our useless ideas like making neopets look more scary or pretty. and we’d annoy with the same question, over and over: “what are that expensive cloths and grooming junk for?” and she’d say:”we’re working on a use for them right now.” it sure is taking them a long time. and Bruce [yes, the neopet] was some guy in a tux and there wash! oh! but the idea we’d pester Donna most about was the battle dome. oooo…ah. I had that thing planned out forward and backward. unfortunately, so did everyone else, in their own special way. Donna became very confused. the funny thing is, I’ve done the battle dome once, decided I really didn’t like hurting my precious baby, and haven’t played since.
Now, when that space station came about, we thought we were all going to die!! that whole virtue pets thing with dr. sloth really got us shook up. I’m not sure if any of us got that it was just another of neopets sinister screams. and I remember the coming of the poogle and the cybunny and some other mystical creature that must have been deleted from the data base. I remember when spells, enchantments, and wines were almost useless. I should’ve bought some, but I decided that I didn’t want drunk neopets. I did have spells and enchantments stashed away though, which came to my advantage later. I remember watching everything grow. from a little family to an entire world. the coming of faerieland and paintbrushes and treasure maps. I remember the great faerie famine were balthazar or whatever the name is took all the faeries. I remember when shops cost 500np each. I remember… remember. its so sad thinking that all of this is a mere memory. nothing more, nothing less. so many of them yet to be released. – Cassie
