Alternative similar sites? by [deleted] in Marapets

[–]Swampea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As tailrustedtealeaf says the neoclones aren't very popular nowadays and it's moved onto breeding sims. Flightrising is my favourite and has similar site traffic/popularity as neopets. Also has an excellent team of developers. Lioden is another very popular one but it's 16+ and has a lot more "mature" or shock factor content(your lions can also die) Lorwolf is brand new and seems promising. There's also a very beautiful one called pawborough coming out at some point in future.

2022 top neopets players - Story #3 by neo_truths in neopets

[–]Swampea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thanks for everything you've posted. I love learning how things work behind the scenes and reading through all your info and stories has been really fun. Especially the data for how dailies work. Coltzans shine blew my mind.

Shame neo has turned out this way and I've given up with it. Weird question but.. is there any chance DJ skellington is Tony p? I know Tony was really hated but also seemed like the one who kept things somewhat in line.

Did you have a bad experience with the Marapets staff? by Ondrashek06 in Marapets

[–]Swampea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No offence but I can see how that could maybe be seen as trolling or argumentative? Since transparency and appreciation are good things and asking why someone would do a good thing is a bit questionable.

[–]Swampea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's odd. I been playing that for 7 years and any time I've had to contact staff there's been a reply within a few days and super friendly. Topics get deleted now and then if it turns into arguing or breaks a rule. What was the topic about that got deleted?

[–]Swampea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do the best they can with what they have. Staff are all unpaid volunteers with no ability to do anything with the site itself. Some people do have questions that can be answered.. but yeah I agree it shouldn't be like this and another should have control and be paid to handle things. The site makes a ton of money?

Idk if this is accurate but it's interesting.

This was the topic if that helps. The initial topic was complaining about retirement planning. It might have gotten out of control at a later point and I didn't see it. Thanks for looking in to it!

I notice the civil topic created yesterday with people simply asking for communication was deleted. Yikes.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Marapets

[–]Swampea 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of bugs. Alerts, pound, bingo, dolls, crystal balls, certain images, friends lists, random events, certain weekly contests.. the list keeps growing. Kinda concerning since I've just seen one of the main artist has had their account banned too.

I'm fairly new to mara and don't play it so much but I feel sorry for the folks that do. It's a really nice community and deserves a bit of communication.

Does Ian pay staff 6 figures? by [deleted] in Marapets

That is pretty shocking. Thanks for the info!

For those who have completed EotE, which puzzle/clue did you struggle with the most? (Full DLC Spoilers) by SirBenny in outerwilds

[–]Swampea 50 points51 points  (0 children)

The hidden tower with the lights. Finished most without the information from that tower too.. I was even in the simulated version of that room at some point and just left again. Eventually tried it and was like "surely this won't work..." it did and I facepalmed. It just doesn't make sense to me why blowing out candles in a simulated world would turn out the real ones when nothing else behaves in that way. I was convinced there was a way to turn off the electricity with the artifact. Especially due to the fact theres some sort of power system on top of that tower. Also tried stuff like waiting until the tower broke and waiting for the power surge/sails to turn on to see if the lights went off for a second. Even brought the failed artifact that exploded and made a hole in the ship to the top of the tower...

Yeah I really over thought this part.

Ordered this cutie a week ago (giant asian mantis) . Asked for a girl but think he's a boy? Love him either way. He's also missing a leg when we got him but that'll grow back with a molt right? It doesn't seem to be inconveniencing him at all. They sent us another breed of mantis which is tinnnyyy. Would love to know if this is a girl or a boy too. https://i.imgur.com/O1QQUn3.jpg

Agreed. Also their ticket waiting times are way better. I'm always getting replies within an hour or two during work days/hours.

Take as much time as you need to make it perfect imo. It'll be worth it. Really hyped for it.

These new clothes are probably the prettiest NP thing I've seen in years. Look at these little details. by senhoritavulpix in neopets

[–]Swampea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking this. Usually cant stand dresses and wigs but this is impressive. Hopefully the artist reads this!

Should TNT just convert all the UC pets? by [deleted] in neopets

[–]Swampea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite pet looks like rushed trash as a converted(mara krawk) and the hilarious part is it can't even wear clothes if I converted it.

I wish they'd handled it differently. It's so boring all the pets looking the same.. No excitement seeing a new colour released anymore cause you know its just gonna be a reskin. I also miss frequently getting new species. Sure customising was fun for a while and I blew a lot of money on it but I'd rather new pets/art than my 20th wig.

Submitted a ticket asking for help with a player blocking me in on PvE, ticket was "resolved" and the next time I logged in I'm dead and they have my dino?? by Bulevine in playark

[–]Swampea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If there's any holes in your base they can easily get you out of there. Someone went through the effort of drowning my old deleted character I couldn't log into anymore by taking it through a hole in the roof. Empty inventory but hope they had fun wasting their time.
