    If you could buy neo, what are the first actions you would take?

    Sorry I keep creating topics, the site is just fun and passionate, and I enjoy all the responses.

    What would you do if you could buy neopets. With a reasonable amount of money?

    I think I would go out right away and try to hire Adam and his wife, and give them complete control of the direction of the site.
    If not, run a significant ad campaign targeted at nostalgia on facebook, and do what Neo is doing. (Create a child/teen friendly mobile game.) With sizable on site rewards to draw the younger crowd from the mobile to the actually site.
    Fix the battledome and make it a bigger part of the game as it used to be.
    Fun plots again.

    I know it might tank some uc economy but honestly I would make having uc be an option for any pet! Not everyone wants to customize and not everyone can afford to get a uc either by just buying them or trading for them.

    I think they need some sort of other security for accounts instead of birthdays so I would definitely change that! I mean I was playing neopets in elementary school! You think I used my actual birthday for half the accounts I made? Nope and sure as hell can't remember them now lol

    The birthday thing is a big issue, I have many lost accounts because of that! I got one back when I explained go them in 2000 we were told not to use our real info online.

    I also belive they need to address the UC situation, it's super hard to get one without buying one. A UC paintbrush is what i think they should do, would make a lot of MPs and PBs more relevant with it as well.

    A moment of silence for old lost accounts :c

    I lost many of mine either that way or just couldn't remember the pw or orginal email. I doubt TNT would even help me without that information. I like to look at them from time to time longingly. I definitely feel that.

    A UC paintbrush would be amazing! Even just having it a nc exclusive. I think a lot of people would pay nc for one!

    Focus on fixing site features instead of releasing endless mobile apps that also get abandoned. Like, why can't you just remake the shockwave games so we can get our avatars insted of releasing a shitty scrabble app? Fixing BD would also be a priority;
    Good new site events (like the old plots);
    Either end UCs forever or make them avaliable in some other (limited) way like a premium perk or neocash item;
    Focus on your actual playerbase insted of pandering to kids (no kid play this game);
    Ah and update all the site's security like ppl above have said. While you are at it, make so we can repeat pets names as well.

    I think this is it

    First I would also fire Tony P.

    I would first offer a bunch of $$$ to some of the programmers/coders here and offer them jobs.
    Why? Because people here are already amazingly skilled + they are familiar/love the website. A super bonus in my opinion.

    Next I would also focus on converting the flash aspects into html5 etc.
    Then I would release a UC option (NC) and use this opportunity for marketing/advertising and to raise some funds.

    Next I would wave more $$$ at some of the amazing artists who already did amazing fanart such as for the paint brush design contest, or the artist who did the mara lutari art.

    Then, I would set up a priority list of things that need to be fixed on the website, and I would set up a weekly or monthly poll in the new features to ask neopets users what they would like to see fixed first.

    Also, I would perhaps use the random contest more often for getting users to submit their own designs for various things.

    They really should poll the users.
    I'm a big world of warcraft guy, and I remember the whole "You think you do but you don't"
    one poll later and they have a massive success on their hands. Almost like listening to your users... helps?

    yeah I am pretty sure it would work, glad to see some examples of games that successfully did it!
    Also a poll for new plots/games/features on the site would be great but I think right now fixing things takes priority!
