    The only other unpopular opinion I can think of that I have is that I wish Neopets would delve into edgy territory more often. Colors like mutant, Darigan and Tyrannian are cool as hell. Old plot bosses like Monoceraptor and Rock Beast were actually pretty spooky-looking. I want more of that kind of stuff. The original mutant Chia was way better than the artichoke head we have now, and I fucking love this Tyrannian Buzz, which was scrapped:

    Yoooo I had no idea this concept even existed (or rather, didn't exist? oh well). Pour one out for the cool colors that never were.
    Additionally, I wish the tyrannian color was more paleofauna inspired--most of the recent additions seem that way, but others like Scorchio and Nimmo are just Ugga Ugga Caveman Aesthetic.

    (you need an account to see links) - Old thread with the same topic, if you're interested in 17 pages' of thoughts. Obviously don't gravedig though.

    As I said on there, I hate customisation. I think it's stupid to waste real money on putting clothes on your Neopets.

    I second this. Never understood what's so fun or special about customization, it's pretty useless imo.

    Idk if it's an unpopular opinion or not, but I think Go! Go! Go! is an amazing and very entertaining game. I wonder if it's also based on some real life game... but anyway it's super fun.

    Oh yay, reading material for the rest of my shift, haha.

    On the customization note, I think I said this already but 'dressing up' my pets isn't something I ever got. I love the backgrounds and environmental customization, but my neopets don't really wear clothes.

    I also think its shitty that people think an account looks illegit just because the pets aren't customized. A lot of people 1. Don't enjoy it and 2. Dont want to spend money/np on it. That doesn't make them illegit.

    I love the older, edgier stuff the site had. There was some weird, wacky and gross stuff back in the day, and I liked that contrast with all the cute stuff. Case in point, the old mutant chia and kiko (couldn't find one without a water mark):



    The original, unreleased mutant aisha was just disgusting, and I love it.

    It is! I don't know what the real name is, but me and my friends always called it Lucky Bastard, but apparently most people call it Shithead. I was so excited when my friends taught me how to play because I could finally get the trophy on neopets lmao

    Yes! You understand me. I almost forgot about that Aisha - I actually like the current mutant Aisha a lot, too, but there's no denying the absolutely terrifying glory of that concept design. Mutants that go further off-model are great. NeoQuest had some cool enemies that I'd like to have seen replicated for player pets as well.

    Oh, that Mutant Chia brings back memories.

    Honestly, I'm also not too keen on customization. At least, when it comes to stuff you directly attach to your Neopet-- I love backgrounds and foregrounds, but clothes just seem.. weird? Wings are alright too, because everyone loves wings and they can add some flair where there wasn't before, but just putting clothes on non-anthropomorphic animals strikes me as odd. Especially on the quadrupeds like Eyries and Aishas and Chombies (Chombys?), it just looks weird. I'd rather have UC art than clothes. :p

    Also jumping on the "I wish Mutants were more gnarly" train. I love body horror and monsters, and these really deliver.
    All of the post-customization Mutants are fantastic, like the Poogle and Pteri, those are delightfully funky and colorful (might actually get a Pteri as a permanent pet idk), but a lot of the pre-customization ones that haven't changed just... pale in comparison. I get it, they don't want to change the old stuff because it'd upset players, but can't the Mutant Grundo or Zafara get some funky facelifts? What about the Usul, can it go back to how it once was, so very long ago?

    There's a lot of potential with colors like Mutant and Tyrannian and Maraquan, and I wish that older species could get revamped to be more Out There [tm] in that sense.


    edit: did backreading, and YES to the Almost Abandoned Attic returning + ancient impossibly rare stamps being put back into circulation.
    While some stuff deserves to stay rare, elusive and collector-worthy, like one-of-a-kind items made for this reason or that, things like stamps should absolutely be brought back in some form or another. Keep them difficult to obtain just to preserve their value, but not impossible to get.
    Flight Rising did this with 2013 festival items by putting them into the on-site raffle feature, and Neopets doing something similar for stamps and other high-value ridiculous-rarity items could be great.

    Also, more NP sinks please. The Hidden Tower already functions decently as one, especially since a lot of the weapons and items in there are great, but I'd like to see more of them? (The Lever of Doom doesn't count lol)

    Agreed on customization
    I've never been a fan of putting clothing or wigs on my pets. I do enjoy looking for different backgrounds, foregrounds and other miscellaneous things just never could get into clothing. Wings look pretty awful on most pets, wish there was more effort put into wings

    YES! Big yes on making mutants more gnarly. I do adore what they have done with most mutants, but they really do need to revamp some of them. I adore mutants but you can see the difference in ones that an effort was made on or not.

    The Zafara is awful


    This is just boring


    Just a beefier monkey


    These two just feel like an extremely low effort was made

    I do enjoy the mutant grundo though, makes me giggle whenever I see one


    Then you see mutants like this and are like wtf TNT give me more like this

    Agreed, but I don't really have a problem with mutant Grundos, except that they are a bit simple to look at - I like the idea, but feel the concept was better executed with older art, specifically Sloth's Grundos.

    They're more defined, more threatening, and at times, more bestial in their visage - much better than the softer, almost teddy bearish mutant Grundos we have now. That meaner sort of depiction would make Gargarox a cooler, more interesting character as well, imo.
