NC UCs coming in 2024!

[I_royalty_I]

I watched the AMA live, and yes, this is what was said. They said they made this decision based on the user requests for trophies for UC pets, and they extended it to older pets so they are also not forgotten about.

I want to know who tf gave them that feedback then. People without UC? People who don’t even play the game? Did they ask chatGPT for its opinion? Confused.

How embarrassing for all the routine beggars

A few people even declined once being picked after they realized.
I could NOT backpedal like that, the embarrassment and shame would drown me lmfao.

"Sorry you're going! But like can I have literally anything I am only here for free stuff and to take advantage of you? "
Literally those are the most disgusting boards on the site at any given time, and acting like they feel anything for the OP is so backhanded.
And there's only going to be more coming I'm sure.

the thing that made me lol the most was pikachu guy asking 'are all those ucs??' dead

rip the instant depreciation of all the USD I spent.. lmao

To everyone upset (which is understandable)

Your perception of your neopets has changed because of factors outside your control

But they are still your neopets. Majority of you upset over this "loss of status" never had the pets in the public eye in the first place


We can finally buy the little assholes freely.

So a couple questions about these trophies:

Old pets get their own? Or it's the same as the UC Trophy.

What if your UC is also old? Will it get 2 trophies.

And will there be different trophies for years?

Will there be Y1 & UC Trophies
Y2 & UC Trophies and so on?

What is the cut off for old pets?

Y5? Y10?

I'm just so confused and have so many questions.

Also I am not ready to see all my beautiful UCs as ugly converted pets that I have to pay money to get them looking back to normal... or a new version of normal?

Well see how this goes.

This is the best single line I've seen all week

I'm interested to see the average price of buying a low tier faerie/darigan pet vs the price of the ncuc item when it's anounced, just to see if it looks like they took black market prices into consideration

I'm going to seem mean but this is such a copout. A lot of people like their pets because there is some reason to like them or otherwise regard them as valuable or an accomplishment. If you legitimately traded up to a UC, and then TNT waved a magic wand with a little fart noise, and it stopped being UC, then are you really going to just go "well at least I can fondly remember working hard to get this thing"? It's like if I took your shiny golf trophy off the shelf and replaced it with a used gas station toilet.

The fact that existing UCs don't get anything unique at all is crazy. This is the sort of stunt companies pull when the line on their graph won't stop going down so they make up a scheme to make a lot of money fast. Also, who is going to buy UCs if they have no status anymore? Half the people on the boards think the redone UC art is butt ugly.

One of my initial thoughts was that the targets on our backs didn't just fall off but they DISINTEGRATED with this news.

The effect it has for me personally: it shows that things on the site can be removed willy nilly, which is totally obvious, BUT now that it's been waved in my face, it has me apprehensive of putting effort/time into the site knowing it can just be Thanos snapped away like it was never a thing.
