    Thinking of starting neopets again !

    So I haven't played in years. Like a lot of years. My old account and side accounts got banned for reasons I don't even remember? There was a point in time I tried to get them back but thats never going to happen sadly. The email tied to them has long since been purged and TnT never really wanted to help despite allll my information about each account. RIP

    I don't really have the cash to buy an account with anything fancy on it but what would be the downside of starting over fresh?
    I know there used to be a ton of things that you couldn't do with a new account not sure if thats changed at all.

    I'm mainly interested in just having fun playing games/collecting avatars again and just chatting/dressing up my pets. I do want to get into UC's as it seeems easier now to get the than it used to be but thats a dream xD

    Any tips/Tricks are welcome c:

    If you're interested in collecting avatars, starting a new account will sadly lock you out of 20+ avatars (off the top of my head, maybe more). As for UC's if you intend on buying them and still going on the boards afterwards, this is super dangerous on a new account, the PC is full of narcs who hate fun and will report you for no reason.

    If you're interested in spending a little money on an account you can get a "starter account" as they're often called, which is usually an aged account with some older avatars, maybe a couple of trophies...but nothing huge, for pretty cheap. That would be my personal recommendation, just because of how awful the Neo community can be to newbies. (even though you're not technically new, new accounts really go through the wringer)

    have you tried IM'ing them on social media with your ticket number? They will respond faster and if you remember the e-mail associated with the account, they may help you get it back so you can update it

    Nah its been soooo long now that i feel it isnt worth the time and effort. Alot of the things i knew then like the names of neopets i made/names of items i had are lost on me lol.
    So I feel like it would be useless to try.

    You can get really nice starter accounts for like 30 dollars here. I did that just so I could have 2 mains and I love the account i got.
    The account also looks more legit, far less suspicious if you have an UC

    First up, welcome back!! I remember when I decided to come back

    Other than what the rest have mentioned about newer accounts, there are a few more disadvantages.

    - Unable to see r95 ~ r99 items from shops until 3 months old
    - Only able to have 1 pet transfer until you're 2 years old
    - Can't adopt colored/painted pets till you're 4 months old
    - Can't win as much neopoints as older accounts in games such as Grarrl Keno and Food Club

    There're just a ton of disadvantages with newer accounts on top of people being dicks to newbies.
    It really would be better to buy a starter account from a reputable member of this community and start off from there.

    Neopets is a looooooong and grindy game that will take a long time to progress. Being able to start maybe halfway in would make the game a lot more fun for you.

    Good luck to you! I enjoyed starting a new account, as I like building things up from the bottom. People here are super helpful and there are some great and experienced sellers on cK too.

    Welcome to Ck and back to neopets.

    I always say I'm going to quit, but I'm still around... so no real advice from me x)

    If you buy VIP you have more access to scripts which can help generate np, get avatars, and get trophies!

    Welcome back! +1 to getting VIP to use scripts. They're literally a livesaver, I can't imagine playing without them now (who wants to enter food club bets by hand???). It would be more cost effective for your budget by buying a cheap aged account and building it up with the resources VIP gives you. Also more fun imo.
    Not to mention autobuying is a bit addicting.
