On your pet's birthday, you can choose one out of 3 cupcakes which will give 5 points of strength, hp or defence depending on the color. When the birthday cupcakes were released, people started to adopt pets from the pound to get their birthday cupcake and feed their BD pet, then repound them (maybe making the pet happy and fed before that, just to be nice to the pixels you know?). Some dumbasses were creating thousands of pets for the cupcakes and abandoning them, and the king of the dumbasses decided to ask TNT if taking a bday cupcake from a pet and feeding another was okay. How the hell would remotely think this was okay???????? Now we have to resort back to the insane slow method of training pets in the schools...

Up until it was changed, Birthday Cupcakes came in 3 different colors and they gave +5 to Strength, Defense and HP respectively.

You could collect these birthday cupcakes from the pet lookups of any pets on their birthdays, then use the cakes to feed your BD pet for stats.

So people started making new pets just for their cupcakes and then pounded them.
Then they started adopting pets, taking the cupcakes and repounding them.
Then when birth dates of pets were removed from the pound listing, people started compiling a list of pets with birthdays on each day of the year.

So you could just adopt and repound pets everyday, collect their cupcakes and feed to your pet.

Imagine each cupcake being a +5.

I'm so sad I missed that period of the game.

Now, cupcakes can only be fed once a year to a pet. (But you can still feed one of each color, so +5 to strength, defense and hp per year)

They're also non-tradable.

You can't transfer a pet to another account to feed, the info is tagged to the pet itself.

LOL.
How long ago was this?
Also, silly question on my part, but how do you find out your pet's birthday? I only see my pet's age but no date.

Your pet's birthday is in its lookup; /petlookup.phtml?pet=PETSNAME
just under its age

It was a pretty big thing years ago... there where birthday lists here too... was a very quick n' cheap training method

I've seen a 25k lol

Omg...
I'd bet money she cheats for sure and then puts shit like that up on her lookup. I dont think anyone could have 11k + Kad feeds and all those game trophies with that little of site event trophies...

Someone created a similar thread many months ago, and I remember one of the first replies said something like "If you look at the people that actively post on the neoboards, then you would think a lot of users cheat. But there are many, many players that don't post on the boards at all or don't even know they exist. I know some people that still feeds their pets manually"

Something like that. And I agree. I'm sure there are lots of people who play quietly and never surface on the site. My answer to your question is: probably a lot, but not as much as you think

[DrSloth]

99%, only saying that because i want people to think my main account is part of that 1% LMAO

but jokes aside, i'd say like 30-40%, there's a lot of casual users who barely play, they are still regulars though

The date can be seen on your pet lookup.

I think it was properly patched back in early 2019.

They did patch it a few times throughout but people still found loopholes.
It officially all stopped in 2019.

I was actually active back in 2018 and I had no idea all these were happening hahahaha

[Enchantix]

Hard to say but I'd guess somewhere in the 30% range
I highly doubt the majority of the community cheats currently. I don't doubt that a majority has cheated at all though, especially if you would include 'multiple accounts' in the range of cheating

I just saw an account with less than 10 months, 300+ avatars, 30+ trophies, including shockwave games. Mmmh darling, how did you do it? Haha with a lot of dedication, right?

People who are this obvious make it seem like many more are cheating. And by cheating I mean the real cheat. Tell bad words or having more than 5 shells does not count for me.

I think that the majority doesn't cheat, but that there's much more cheaters than back then because it's way more accessible and because we're all old and have less time/patience for Neopets

Eh, I don't think there's anything fishy with that, 300 avatars in 10 months is absolutely possible if you're good at games and don't miss seasonals. Also shockwave games are easy and still work well.
