Petpet Park is created by the Petpet Protection League as a place to train and care for Petpets. It is a free to play multiplayer game with optional membership and is considered separate from the main Neopets website apart from the initial plot that opened the game. You choose one of 6 Petpet's to explore the park, play games and do fun activities with as well as customise them with cosmetic items all while you level them up and earn cash. The Opening Celebrations began on August 28, 2008 after the short plot, Operation: Petpet Park, had finished.
Not much is known about the park itself besides that there is a gracious, welcoming and caring staff currently inhabiting it.
Origin
- Main article: Operation: Petpet Park
Petpet Park was first introduced through the plot, Operation: Petpet Park. It followed three Petpet Protection League agents who were assigned missions to retrieve 6 new Petpets from portals that connect Neopia to Petaria. These agents remained in Petpet Park for a short time but were later removed to be replaced with other permanent characters.
There were 6 missions to complete and 7 comic chapters accompanying them as well as prizes and items to collect along the way, all being accessible from the PPL Headquarters. Each mission would see the player completing a challenge or puzzle which would lead to discovering one of the 6 main playable Petpets in the park. At the end of the plot players who finished all 6 missions were rewarded with 45,000 Neopoints, which was reduced if you didn't finish the full 6, as well as a site theme and wearable item in Petpet Park.
The plot was time limited and is no longer available to complete but the comic that accompanied the plot is still available to read here as well as a Daily activity called Weltrude's Toy Chest to participate in. The only language that was supported by this plot was English and was the reason there was no trophies awarded for completion.
Petpets
There are 6 different Petpet species to chose from to represent the player. It is not possible to change your species once created apart from using a morphing potion which are available from the NC Mall.
Dipni | Drym | Hifflo | Kassegat | Oukin | Pinixy |
Puxa | Bandalu | Mumbat |
There are 3 extra species that can be accessed this way, Mumbat, Puxa and Bandalu but there is no difference between the species besides their appearance. The Mumbat Morphing Potion is only periodically available and has been buyable between October 12 to November 4, 2010, October 11 to November 3, 2011, and between October 11 to November 1, 2012.
It is also possible to aquire Colour Bottles from the NC Mall which, when used on your Petpet, will change their colour respectively. There are currently 56 different colours available to choose from.
Despite being introduced through a Neopets plot, none of these Petpets are available as items on the Neopets site.
DipniDipnis are timid and resevered creatures that will dart away at the slightlest hint of danger. Despite this, they are loving and shyly inquisitive. Dipnis make gurgling noises in their throats when they are happy. They were discovered in the sixth plot mission. |
DrymDryms are curious and mischievous. They also love to dig for shiny objects and especially enjoy playing in the snow. They were discovered in the first plot mission. |
HiffloHifflos are sweet affectionate petpets that love music. They can run very fast for short distances although they like to relax. They can always be lured with music. They like the water, as shown in the Petpet Park game Faerie's Folly. They were discovered in the second plot mission. |
KassegatKassegats are clever and agile jungle-dwelling petpets that live in these lush areas on account of their love of climbing trees and eating fruit. They were discovered in the fourth plot mission. |
OukinOukins have large sensitive ears that enable them to hear the distress calls of others and come to their aid if they can. Although peaceful by nature, Oukins can let out a high-pitched shriek when agitated. They were discovered in the fifth plot mission. |
PinixyPinixy are active and rambunctious, always engaged in physical activities such as running, jumping, wrestling, and climbing. They were discovered in the third plot mission. |
Gameplay
The player controls their Petpet from an isometric viewpoint using the mouse to navigate around the various areas available. Areas contain characters and activities that will allow you to earn Park Points, the in-game currency, and experience points.
Levelling up and Earning Park Points
Levelling up is achieved by gathering experience points which can be gained by completing quests, playing games and finding them as you walk around. In most cases XP is proportional to the involvement of the activity and, where possible, if you do well at a game. For example, a higher score can award more XP than a lower one and simply eating a piece of food will only give you a single experience point. Levelling up rewards you with new medals and badges and access to new jobs and items. You can see the progress of your current level at the top of the screen in the large green bar and your current level in the paw print.
Park Points (PP) can be earned in a multitude of ways and then can be used to purchase items for your Petpet. It is the first number on the left in the user bar. The number to the right of this is the amount of NickCash (NC) you have.
Quests and jobs can be found by talking to various Petpet Park characters in each area. Some quests are one off but many contain multiple parts which will award you after each step completed. Quest objectives vary from character to character and include anything from speaking to another Petpet to collecting items and playing games. Most quests reward you with items and some Park Points.
Petpet Park NC Mall
The Petpet Park NC Mall is a shop that sells a variety of items including access to new areas, morphing potions and cosmetic items. There are some characters and places that are only accessible through items purchased here as well as some stalls that are only available in certain season or holidays.
While the PetpetPark NC Mall is separate from the Neopets NC Mall, they both use NickCash as their currency.
Areas, Games and Activities
There are currently 23 different mini-games to play in Petpet Park and as with Neopets games they vary in play styles. You can earn a maximum of 15,000 Park Points from playing mini-games each day. There are also 59 different activities for the player to partake in which usually give the player an item after doing the activity and a small amount of experience points. Some require an item or NC item to access where as others can be found in the various areas and some can be performed multiple times a day.
