Neopia the Darker Side by thedarkerside by thedarkerside

Neopets is a game enjoyed by young and old in countries around the world. However, behind the smiles and the laughter, there is a darker side. As the owners and workers of the game, known affectionately by their users as The Neopets Team, go about running the site, they have made many decisions. These decisions affect more than the running of one simple site, but are impacting the minds of impressionable youth. At the time of writing, there were over 62 million users. This growing cultural phenomenon is socializing the generation that is growing up with the internet. But is there anyone that is currently watching The Neopets Team and holding them accountable to their actions? This series of articles hopes to inform and enlighten the users of some of the game’s unknown facets and hopefully impress upon The Team the importance of their actions. And hey, if we can have a laugh while we’re at it, all the better. The purpose of this singular article is to open your eyes to the blatant endorsement of discrimination by Neopets against many religions and cultures.

Neggsweeper Guide by evening_star89

One of the easiest games in Neopian history had been completely passed over. Many people have heard of this game, but don’t know how good it is for their bank account. The name? NEGGSWEEPER.

Ever heard of MineSweeper? It’s a game that’s on almost every computer. Most people know how to play it. Do you know how? If yes, great. Go play NeggSweeper. It’s the EXACT SAME THING, just press Ctrl while you click for flags (to let the game know it’s a bomb). If no, keep reading, and I’ll explain.

There is a game board (I suggest you play easy) with a bunch of squares on it. Under some of the squares there are blank spaces. Those are good, well, better than bombs. When you uncover a blank space, it automatically uncovers all the other blank spaces near it. Blank spaces are the same things as having a 0 on it. I’ll explain the numbers in a second.

Methods of Making Neopoints by Vin

I have successfully made millions on neopets and over the course of my time playing, millions of people have asked me how they can make nps. So in an effort to help these people I have writing a little guide:

There are 3 ways of making nps:

1 – Games
2 – Buying and Selling Items
3 – Misc
4 – Scamming

These tow, very broad categories can be broken down even further into:

(1) Games:
(a) The games in the Games Room
(b) The Neopian Stock Market

(2) Buying and Selling Items:
(a) Buying from the main shops
(b) Buying from the shop wiz
(c) Buying from the Auctions
(d) Buying knowing that the item will rise in value

Bumper Cars: Playing Against the Computer by Starfeather

When you push the up arrow key to start a game, hold it down. The timer will speed up ant the game will begin sooner. The other advantage to this is that you will have an automatic running start at the red car ahead of you. Frequently this will cause the red car to back itself against the wall until it runs out of points. This leaves you two cars that will frequently be charging in the same direction toward the red car. If the red car doesn’t start smokin’ before you hit – then hit it until it does and then hit your down key (reverse)
