The term Plot refers to events on Neopets or stories in Neopia in which users can participate for prizes or experience something different from normal Neopets play. Plots first began to appear on August 15, 2000, with Arrival of Virtupets.

Overview

In the ever growing world of Neopets, it's through plots that it's expanded the most, by introducing new characters, worlds and facts/history of Neopia which each new plot. There are many different examples of plots in Neopets, but the basic premise behind every plot is the same: a story taking place in Neopia is told, and users can participate in some way to receive prizes. Participation is different for each type of plot, which can include puzzle solving, fighting in the Battledome or a combination of both. Sometimes participation can only happen at certain times of the plot as well, either while the plot is being presented, or at the climax of the story.

One of the more popular participation methods in plots is fighting in the Battledome, in which users fight a series of special 1-Player Challengers for points to be collected for prizes. Sometimes there is an official "war", in which users join with the army of a warring party in the story to fight against another, or even choose opposite sides to fight a users opposite side.

Plots almost always have lasting impressions on the world of Neopia, the most common of which being new worlds for users to explore. Characters new and old are also more defined by plots, and are the driving force by how we understand them. Depending on the world in which the plot takes place, characters make reappearances now and then, the most common of which being Dr. Frank Sloth, the most notorious villain in Neopia. Most plot characters appear in only one plot.

The majority of plots today are presented through a comic book format, yet plots of the past have included animations, plain images with text, and sometimes no images at all, leaving users to use their imagination as to what is happening in the story.
