NeoQuest is a web based role playing game on Neopets created by Mr. Insane.
The game puts you in the role of a Lupe (called "Neoquest Hero" as throughout the game he will be call the name of whatever your active Neopet is) in the world of Neopia 10,000 years ago. You control this one hero on his/her quest to stem back the tide of evil. Each pet you own can start his or her own game on one of three difficulty levels. Normal is the first difficulty level available, beating this difficulty unlocks Evil and beating Evil unlocks Insane. Each level is progessivly harder in addition to which Evil ends with one more boss than Normal, and InSaNe ends with one more than Evil. InSaNe has an additionaly difficulty for if you die, the game will reset completly and you will not just respawn at the beginning. Players recieve more NP from boss fights on higher difficulties as well.
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 were 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.
Although it is not listed under the highscores, Neoquest does in fact has it's own version of a highscores table. When in the game clicking on Leader Boards will take you to a list of the first people to beat neoquest, the fastest wins and those with the most wins.
