''Normal'' is the first difficulty level available, and involves the basic gameplay, which ends upon defeating [[Jahbal]]. Beating Normal difficulty unlocks ''Evil'', which gives stronger enemies and a second final boss to defeat directly after Jahbal, [[Mastermind]]. Beating Evil unlocks ''[[Insane mode|Insane]]'', which gives even more difficult enemies and one more extra boss upon the the second one from Evil, [[Xantan Reborn]].

Due to the large number of page views and popularity when the game was first available, Neopets' servers ran very slowly for some time. When it first opened, it kept bringing down the Neopets server, which was incapable of handling the game at the time. As a temporary fix, they only allowed users to play in the mornings (Eastern Standard Time), and prevented play during any other time. This ban was lifted on August 24, 2002. Since then, there have been no such restrictions and Neoquest can now be played at any given time during the day. | Due to the large number of page views and popularity when the game was first available, Neopets' servers ran very slowly for some time.
