Lexie I am just POd with some of the users on neopets. Today is 9/11 and you wouldn't believe how many were celebrating the day I mean they were HAPPY that it happened. One user made a picture and posted it on their layout say F You Seaking (a pokemon) and the seaking was infront of the twin towers blowing up. Neopets didn't freeze this user until the users board was 10 pages! Neopets staff didn't even warn the people who were encouraging this user to do so! Whatever you do, don't join Neopets! Ever since Adam and Donna left Neopets went down hill so DON'T JOIN NEOPETS! 9/11/2009

Homer Just to add some more fuel to the fire, aftermathzone is back. It's being recoded from scratch and is still in its infancy, so it's missing a lot of stuff, but all of the good stuff is coming back, bigger and better. 6/24/2009
Diana Neopets is the WORST! They have accomplished to set you up to fail then to freeze you. Powerpets is the best. You can accomplish goals, people are great and helpful and the list gos on. Thank you PowerPets for being the greatest! 4/29/2009
Nimbus Linnea - I just went on "Handipoints". If I'm at the right address, are you saying that you love to go online and create charts for doing your chores? Honestly, it might be interesting, but it seems slightly weird.
If I'm not at the right place, forgive me.

Nimbus [Unknown] - Mostly all sites require membership so they can identify everyone who's playing. A lot of sites have free membership, though.

Hannah Montana (as if!) - OMG it's Hannah Montana! LOL! Can I have your autograph!?! And you're expecting us to believe that HANNAH MONTANA would play on Powerpets, (as she says, a "kid site") and that she'd even be visiting THIS unknown site in the first place, and that she feels the need to define that she is, in fact, a popstar, and that BTW means by the way, which is probably the MOST common internet abbreviation (forgetting LOL, of course). Ha ha ha!

Sorry, but come back when you're better at impersonating people.

Nimbus My opinions:

On Neopets. I, personally, like Neo. It always has something to do when I'm bored. There are plently of addicting games to play (Neoquest II especially) and I can chat with my friends. Sometimes it gets boring, but I always come back to it because I know I can do it. And I don't think it's hard. I earn at least 10k a day when I try, and before I splurged, I was over 1,000,000.

On Powerpets. I don't usually go on here anymore. It's actually fun when you get into it. I like trying to get the gems, even though I only have one. The eggs are fun, too, but, again, I only ever got one. However, I don't think it's my favorite.

On Marapets. I tried out Marapets, for a while, and, in my opinion, it's okay. But I don't think it has much over any other site I've ever tried. I definately think they could spend more time on their graphics, and I don't really think they have anything very original, besides the holiday events. It's nice to hang out on, sometimes, but it's not my favorite.

On Subeta: I was on just this morning, actually. Again, it's fun. It's got cool items, great graphics, and everything runs pretty smoothly. Gameplay is okay, there's stuff to do, although, again, not very original. But what makes up for that is the fact that everything is kind of fun. A good site, okay if I need something to do.

On Teripets. I just like it because of the great community. The rest of the gameplay is only okay, average, but better than Marapets, in my opinion. But the community is great, everyone is really nice. I like it.

Sorry for my long post, and if you want me to cover anything else, post.
2/22/2009
Manda I think Subeta.ws is the best virtual pet/game site I've seen yet. 2/18/2009
DarkUmbreon OMG! rescreatu is the best pet site ever! you rais your own pets of many different colors and you can interact with alot of different users! plus! the creator of the site goes on every night and is always fixing any bugs that pops up! there is alot of staff members incase of a fight in the shout box and most people are funny, light hearted, and very generous there!

VPS I've tried loads of pet sites, but i always get bored with all of them in the end =/
But one of the pet sites that i tried and really liked was wajas
It was the first pet site with breeding.
It ist really popular and not well known but it is fun for a while.
Neopets,zetapets,powerpets,marapets,subeta etc were all fun for a while but they do get boring over time.
4/25/2008
Shel-bu-bay! OMG... Go to rescreatu! its really fun and is a small community, unlike neopets 4/24/2008
G Actually, everybody has their options . My best pet site is Mara- does not mean it's gay OR excellent. I have my options & you have yours. If you are going to offend somebodies option they you are just self-centred. 4/10/2008
marblekittykat Hm...seeing as you all seem to love virtual pet sites...anyone wanna help beta test mine (or do some art)?? It's not a standard simple feed and love your pets site but more advanced. kfk89(at)hotmail(com) 3/24/2008

1/3/2008
Bambi I play both. I got tired of neopets fast! powerpets is cool! any way, where's the secret room! 12/11/2007
Haruko Good god, this crap has been alive for FOUR YEARS NOW. I think we all get it. All your opinions fail to everyone else. All the sites are sites with fake pets on it. Okay? Yay. 11/18/2007
StupidNeoPets OMG powerpets you can leave the site and your pets wont go hungey but neopets if you leave your pet will die and get hungry 11/14/2007

11/3/2007
Jackie Go Tabby Kitty is so right I'm not saying you don't have lifes but for goodness sake it's fake. I'm just on here because I'm bored so I wanted to hear some real people say what they really think about websites thinking maybe I will find a fun one. And also have any of you heard of webkinz. The only two catch are 1-you have to buy a webkinz stuffed animal and 2-after a year it expires. 10/29/2007
Magpie Kiropets has great potential, although it's pretty small and needs to be better developed.

Neopets need to get their head out of the sand and wake up. They're a company who care nothing about members, they've utterly ruined the site.

Subeta is great, although becomes repetitve and boring quite quickly.

Zetapets is sadly, never updated. I played for a month and still couldn't find anything interesting to do on it.
10/6/2007
subetaluva neopets is a heartless corporation, if your account gets hacked no one cares, they freeze you for no reason and then wont even write you back to talk to you about it. Plus it's so hard to make any money on neopets, personally I like subeta better. The staff is friendly and helpful, money is pretty easy to make, the art is adorable and everyone on the site is friendly. 9/11/2007
piplup-power I know.Neopets has no point since it freezes so easily 9/3/2007
JESSIE if any1 has marapets cheats then plzzz send to:::



AND I WILL GIVE YOU 200000 (marapets)
9/2/2007
let_neopets_die neopets is so lame. theres no point in it. accounts get froze so easily and u dont get a reason why. just use powerpets. the creators are so nice and keep everything in order. 8/30/2007
lexiebrat101 i love the marapets, but neopets is so stupid! 8/27/2007
Komoda Yeah and I switched to powerpets now by the way... I will check out these other websites. 8/20/2007
Komoda I like neopets but I haven't been able to go on it lately because they use javascript and my computer won't work for that so... I also hate how they changed it and it's all high tech but I still like it. (hee hee, I also have 86 neopets toys) 8/20/2007
Bree??? I used to play neopets. But now they changed it and it is way to crowded. I switched to marapets, and i have heard of a lot of other sites too. 8/10/2007
Charlie email the leekopets team at..... 7/27/2007
Charlie Hi there,

7/27/2007
FP lover try furry paws! It's name sounds pretty silly but it's a really cool game. I'm hooked on it! Oh, and I played neopets on my dads computer and it just broke down with viruses, even though he says he had virus protection. :) 7/23/2007
Dani Michaelsen u can change the color of ur pet on powerpets too! 7/4/2007

XXX HUH, I had Norton when I first signed up with Neopets. Trying clearing your cookies first coz Im an adult and I know what Im talking about as I had to have Norton for my job and I was still able to use Neopets. 6/28/2007
XXX Thats very strange coz I have a VALID email address, DSL IP and Zetapets NEVER lets me register and always an error and so I gave up and found many other good pet sites. 6/28/2007
galaxicon I used to play Monopets and Aftermathzone virtual pet game sites back in 2000 and they rocked the house big time!! Age is NOT important in any way, shape or form as lots of people from 2 to 102 love games like I do and I will continue to play fun games until I pass on!! 6/22/2007

6/13/2007
Rosabindi You can adopt a ferret like pet on Subeta It's called a pherret :) 5/29/2007
diggy Personally I prefer ettapets. I like the fact that they have no advertising and I think that giving the pets a personality is a great idea. 5/21/2007
none I've heard of powerpets, marapets and neopets- the big ones.
Powerpets is cool because there is a real system to get into, not it is easier to make money. Still fairly new.
Neopets- hard to earn cash (at least for me) but they boast better games, plots, and graphics, currently being redone. TOO BIG FOR ME!!! I don't like it anymore. Also- been around awhile.
Marapets- I also like marapets. Easy to change your pet, character, money earning is moderate. Fun too. Many quests, pretty good with the graphics. You make money by simply walking around.
5/13/2007
ren wow. how immature can people get, swearing and arguing over some virtual games. they're just pixels. i've tried all of the games named: neopets, powerpets, runescape, subeta, and even gaiaonline. they all have their qualities and faults. it just depends on how the individual thinks. instead of ranting about how bad one game is, why don't you spend that time playing the game, whatever it may be, instead?
you can't just force your opinion on someone. everyone is entitled to their own.
5/3/2007
s i cant get an account on subata 4/14/2007
Subeta fan I've played them all, and really feel that Subeta is the best.

Neopets got too crowded (I played for 7 years, so I remember when it used to be small)
Marapets has terrible art (only one artist, who really isn't very good) and WAY too many ads now
Kiropets is undeveloped and poorly done

But Subeta isn't too large, has AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL art, and is a lot of fun to play, with new ideas that none of the other sites have. Try it!
4/12/2007
Victor_ffx I'm pretty sure you can adopt a ferret or the like on powerpets. 4/5/2007
? DID NOT HELP 3/11/2007
JoJo NEO IS UGH! ZETA IS OH YEA! 2/5/2007

Grow up.eatsshi Growup who ever you are you eatshti 9/3/2006
alyssa hey guys whats up me nothin much 8/29/2006
Victor_ffx I'm afraid I have to disagree with that last sentence. I belong to a guild of 55 members and only two are littl kids one 10 and the other 13. But maybe kids just don't join guilds. 8/27/2006
marshmallowpie ok people: zetapets DID NOT copy neopets. they are both similar since they are both pet sites. each site has their good points: neopets: more popular and well known, has merchandise, more colors, mroe pets, more games. zetapets: its easier to keep a forum thread going cuz its less crowded, the color changing items are only 80,000 at the highest at the store, its easier to get money, the moderators are actually watching, theres less spammers (i got scammed and my account got frozen on neopets!), and has more older people. neopets is mostly little kids (no offense). 8/25/2006
Victor_ffx Mr. Grow up, if they want to argue let them, why dont you sod off and grow up. 8/22/2006
lorenzo sweet
8/20/2006
Grow up. I'd just like to tell most of the people who've commented to grow up, go outside, and learn the english language.

Also, Ellie, msn is a good way to comunicate with yoru friends online. If I didn't have it, I wouldn't be in contact with my friend who moved to singapore 3 months ago. Yeah, runescapes graphics are on the tacky side, but for a free 3-D game that works on all browsers with all computers, it's excellent.

Please, stop arguing about neopets and powerpets! Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion.
8/16/2006
Ellie How lame do u think it is runescape is rubbish and so is msn 8/9/2006
Francine its ok but i think they should not have use a emil adress i prefer zetapets because thier pets r cuter. 8/9/2006
Amanda Gawsh. You're all arguing over pixels. That's a bit ... lame.
I like all of the pet sites that have been listed so far, but I'm only active on neopets. It's the only one that my computer lets me play. o_0

Well, if there's any neopets players out there, I'm fauxroyale.
