    Neopets Site-Wide Blocks and Captchas

    11/15/2019 We believe that the Neopets site changes have concluded, and we are performing tests to accommodate them in our automation, botting and score sending apps. Our Greasemonkey and Tampermonkey scripts have been tested, and are cleared for use. Please be mindful that the newly implemented StackPath validation routine may cause scripts to fail, however this can be addressed by resetting the script.

    09/15/2019

    The Neopets team has begun rolling out captcha verification for the entire site, as well as measures to altogether block access to the site from certain IP addresses. We are not yet aware of the extent of these changes, however any interruption to your Neopets experience will also affect the use of programs and scripts. Please be careful to limit your use of any bots until further notice.

    We will not be able to provide support for programs until after these changes have concluded.

    Neo Possibly Switched to Cloudflare?

    (you need an account to see links)


    Saw this post on the Neo subreddit, unsure if it's substantiated or even true, maybe someone here has additional information?

    Oof, my aber last night kept saying 20 items in stock, then 36, then 20, then 36.

    I have 0 clue abt any of this my aber still got one item though

    reddit post is scary though
    The new host includes a server-side Javascript injection, which serves as DDoS protection and also blocks automated scripts/scrapers from running on the website. On the upside this should hugely curtail many bots used for cheating at least for the near term.
    Well a third party is now collecting data on Neopets users (using it to determine if you're legit or a robot with each page load), so you might feel weird about that.


    i cant recieve private messages on here im not ignoring u

    Odd posted a thread on Announcements.

    When I saw the reddit post, I did private message Joe asking if we should be concerned.
    Short answer: yes.. at least until further notice

    For now, I would caution everyone and not run bots or scripts.
    Which fucking sucks because I�ve been running scripts on and off on my main today

    Oh gosh I'm such a dummy I thought I look well enough to see if something had already been posted. Super sorry mods! Please lock/delete if needed.
