I miss the Chat board. Not the Neoboards. The chatboard. As the chat board it was a place where people could come together to help each other, not scam and date, or even long rants about sucking blood.

I miss the low prices there were three-fours years ago.

I miss the liberties we had before neopets started its downward spiral into stupidity such as being able to use almost any coding in Petpages, shops, and Userlookups.

I really miss that you could read books unlimited times to a pet... it was just a simple restock and you could get your pet smart easily.

i miss the old mutantas : ( the jubjub was cool and so was the chia one : )

Heh, I remember when you could buy a Fire Wocky Morphing Potion for only around 30k. Due to an inflation, now morphing potions are almost all unbuyable. :(

You could get a Speckled Paint Brush for 50k at one time. Also, Purple Paint Brushes were around that price.
Not to mention Christmas Paint Brushes sold for only 10k.

I miss the frequent random events, where you really got good items. I was always getting paintbrushes when I visited Terror Mountain! I miss the cheaper prices in both the main shops and Shop Wizard shops. I miss the days when the servers ran well, and the glitches were few. I enjoyed it most when people weren't so report-happy and immature.

I miss Tombola giving out booby prizes if you didn't pull a winning ticket... And I miss the cheap Concert Tickets in Tyrannia....

I miss when, after 9 neopets time, the site became a wasteland, and all the shops stayed stocked. I miss throwing a fit because I was too poor to afford a faerie for 100NP. I miss the way the games room looked. Haha. That big shelf.
Oh. And the fact that Jacko loved me.

I miss(even though I knew it for about 2 years and started a year ago
    Cheap shops
    STocked shops
    1500NP game cap
    Stone and glass paintbrush use
    maraqua(I never knew about it)
    The meridell war
    Paper thin servers
    Less downtime
    World Global Domination war points

Things that most everyone would hate
    Lag
    more lag



Can anyone tell me how the faerie employment agency worked. I think it was like scoring in a game. But when was it changed to gathering items?

Well I miss the cheap items(I should have bought another lab map when they were only 50k for the full one;) ) I miss being able to ask the uber faeries for a quest, I miss the snow faerie giving out GOOD items (I once had gotten a wand of supernova:D ) I miss not having millions of people on so it wasn't slow and I miss the secnd Bruce(The really fat penguin). I know there are others but I can't think of them now

Here is the pic of the Bruce I'm talking about

Everything used to be a lot cheaper. I've only been playing since late 2002, and even I've noticed the dramatic changes. I remember buying a striped kau morphing potion for 12k and the last time I checked (which wasn't that long ago) they were nearing unbuyable prices. Now I wish I would of boughten two :oops:


edit: I just went and checked again and they are unbuyable now. They're selling for about 150k now. I swear it wasn't even a month ago I checked the prices.

Muahaha.

Unfortunatly, I wasn't around for the good old days. But, well...if one were to combine the two time periods...

Perfect Neopia.

Wait...A NEW DAY OF ACTION! We all write letters to TNT! Get them to release 100,000 more of every single item ever so the prices will be low!
*stoned*

I miss when the Kau was the Macey Grey...does anyone have a piccy of that, I want to save it.
I definetley miss theme parks and non-poofing books...oh and when codestones were the cheapest thing this side of Mystery Island.

Yeah. I'm glad I got lab rays in my accounts before the sudden price inflation. Doubt I'd bother with it if I didn't have one now. Seeing as all I use it for really is to zap pound pets (Which can be usefull in getting avatars also) then putting them back (Or showing them on here for people to own :))


BTW: This is a picture of Bruce Forsyth :D a UK TV presenter and a good tap dancer! ;)
