    I haven't played in YEARS, where do I start?

    Everything is so different! I think the last time I actively played, habitarium had just been removed -- I tried a couple of times to play again over the years but only lasted about a week, life kinda got in the way.

    So with games basically out of commission, what do most people do for np these days? Is restocking still the main legit way?

    I'm half-arsing some NQ2 at the moment because I don't really know what to do on the site at the moment, and waiting for Plushie Tycoon to restart so I can see if I still remember how to play it. What do people generally do on Neopets these days?

    I think a lot of people do Food Club bets for money and stocks. Life has been kind of slow on Neo but you came back at the perfect time since the Altador Cup is returning soon! Everyone is awfully interested in how it will be this year since flash poofed.

    UC pets are coming back in one form or another via the NC mall as of a news update a few days ago. Additional pet slots are on the horizon as well!

    Edit: Also...I freaking love your sassy dinos in your signature lol.

    Hi trinket, for me it's still playing the games actually (you can still find the games via the games room (i usually start from an old layout page and select the "popular" section from the dropdown but (you need an account to see links)

    That is if you're feeling up to actually still using flash of course. multiple ways to still get it working but the one i abide by is described (you need an account to see links)

    that being said, games won't make that much np's so for that i resort to FC bets mainly (just following others using the FCNC string

    HOLY SHIT is that BECA?! Idk if you remember me but you're one of the few people I remember from years ago wow!! Lovely to see you again, hope you have been well!

    For sure Food Club and getting your Neopian universal income handout from Trudy + selling any stocks you have that get to a good point are your basis for NP grinding. Extremely slow for the most part but you can still play games as Mario pointed out, if you still have access to flash! And RSing can still be profitable if you know your way around. Most people might be focused on the AC in the coming weeks so perhaps there will be more opportunities to snipe items haha!

    I didn't know there were ways to still use flash :o thank you! I'd try food club, but I'm on a brand new account and iirc you only start making a good amount with older accs right?

    You can still make some money on newer accounts. Yea it's not a HUGE amount but better than nothing I'd think
    So cK Team Sign Ups JUST opened a few hours ago. So really you came back at the absolute perfect time if you're thinking of doing the AC. So the forum will have a cK AC team to support but only chosen members can be on the team and know which team cK is supporting if that makes sense. Let me find the links for ya.

    Sign ups:

    @(you need an account to see links) aww man /I/ forgot about my wild hair past as a youngin LMAO I feel so old now XD

    Doritos got you covered for all the juicy AC news, but if you want to try to get Flash working on your PC this is the guide I followed, personally, to download an old Chrome browser with Flash enabled. (Other people use a 3rd party browser called Pale Moon) (you want to read the video desc on YT because it has links to the downloads)

    I'm actually unsure how many positions there are since I wasn't able to make the team last year lol. You could always apply and be up front about your availability though, right? Then they'd know going in what to expect if they decide to bring you on
