    Are any of you pretty much done with neo because of this new site layout?

    I know its still under construction and what not, but this is the first time I've looked at it and it seems awful.
    You click explore and its just links, same with the shops.
    Everything looks so plain and uninspired. I really hope its just because its incomplete , but it looks to me like this may ruin their website.
    So plain:
    (you need an account to see links)
    Uninspired:
    (you need an account to see links)

    I'm pretty sad about this, a 20 year hobby of mine is now gone to me

    The way TNT are currently running the site.

    I can't see it lasting to be honest.

    They're literally riding on Nostalgia at the moment and they even manage to mess that up

    Yeah, I'm kind of scratching my head.... What are they doing, they could have done something much better with this conversion.
    I don't get it, they did a focus group a few years ago, no?
    I doubt this is what they asked for, people have been very vocal about what they want and this is the response. It's gross. And the whole NC card thing... Yikes.

    Literally nothing is wrong with the current website.

    Sure its needs updating in certain areas but not an entire rebuild.

    The maps will be brought back in once they've been converted into HTML5 - for now, they put the table of links in so people can still get where they need to go.

    Map Quick Links
    Not all of the maps of Neopia will be fully HTML5 ready and in the beta by the end of the year. To make sure that you can still find your way around in the meantime, 38 map pages now include direct links to all regularly visible locations on the map. Seasonal/special map links will be added in a future update, and you'll have to access any secret links using the direct URL until its map has been brought over into the beta.
    I have some pretty major problems with it, but they've been receptive to user feedback so far, on the boards and on Discord (which isn't really official, but that's an issue for another day...)

    It's slow, but getting there. I'm not giving up on them yet.

    Thank you for the detailed response, I'm still pretty much done. I know I'm probably a minority in it, but this site conversion has just ruined it all for me. I guess to me it's just sad.
    I really hope the site doesnt die though.

    Yes, it is awful and TNT definitely don't know what they are doing. I wouldn't say I'm done with Neo but I surely haven't invested much time and (even worse) money with anything neo related for a long while now
    I'll probably keep playing for dailies/events but eh, they certainly aren't going in a good direction in my view

    I honestly don't like what I see so far, and now with the shit they're pulling with the NC cards and they're freeze-first-ask-later nonsense, I can't really say how long I see myself playing even if it's for the nostalgia factor. I'd be really upset if the site went down the crapper because they're too stubborn and refuse to listen to their userbase. I honestly don't see the site thriving all that much within the next few years. I'm gonna just enjoy it while I can.
