Neopets NFTs are here!

[Synth Salazzle]

i was wondering why so many people were coming to subeta bc it's like mass fucking exodus from neo to there lmao

They're everywhere. Even ichumon has people playing it again and that was averaging like 5 players a day. It's up to 20 and growing now. People are so pissed at neopets that they're turning to a game that hasn't been updated much in the past decade. That's how bad this is.

All (or most) of the anti-nft bc images were deleted this week


"Hi,

Sadly, we cannot allow controversial topics to be highlighted in site contests. Yes, there were a few that slipped through the past couple weeks but that is being corrected.

Okay new update: protest images are allowed again...

I'm laughing so hard what is this team doing???? Do they not communicate with each other at all?

[morecoffeepls]

At this point, this is how I'm expecting TNT to address any of this dumpster fire ...

Every time I get a new piece of news about this I'm just like

From Jellyneo:



"Hi, Yes, these will now be allowed. If you entered prior to today please re-enter so they can be accepted!"

[Buizel]

"This is a scam" to officially announcing partnership with Metaverse

"Controversial entries are not allowed" to allowing said entries

This rapid flop flopping has me like

So can the first place winner of last week get their 15 minutes of glory in the news proper then and unblurred?

Hi everyone,

We would like to apologize to the Neopets community, our community of advocates, and our newfound supporters. As we embark on the exploration of a new frontier through the release of Neopets NFTs, it is important that we at JumpStart remain mindful of the impact such a massive change can have on a fanbase that has been as dedicated as you all have been, for as long as you all have been. Recently, our communication has fallen well short of showing that we have that awareness, and the result has been communication or content that many considered to be disrespectful at best. We are deeply sorry about that.

As the stewards of a brand that is beloved by thousands of people, it is our duty to cultivate an environment that is as welcoming and inclusive as we can manage to make it. We have significant improvements to make on this front as it pertains to our NFT partnerships, so we would like to take this opportunity to clarify a few points:

- Neopets.com is not going away, nor is it being replaced by the Neopets Metaverse. As stated in a previous announcement, our involvement in the NFT project is happening independent of the support we provide to the Neopets site and will not interfere with our development plans.

- Cherrypicks, Moonvault, Raydium, and Solana are our NFT partners who work separately from the Neopets Team (TNT) who support the Neopets.com site.

- Please know that our partner's social media accounts are managed independently and do not reflect the views of The Neopets Team (TNT) or JumpStart Games. To help ensure an experience that better aligns with our product's values, we will be assisting with management of these in the future.

-The Neopets Metaverse Discord has been the subject of much controversy on the site due to the content allowed on the channel by a third party. In the near future, JumpStart will be present and assisting with moderation.

- Many of you have wondered about where staff from TNT have been during this turbulent time, in particular, TNT Petrichor. Petra has moved away from Community Management and is now assisting the company with other critical tasks, hence their absence. Our apologies for not being able to announce this sooner. Don't worry, Petra is still with JumpStart and may even pop in from time to time to say hi! As for the rest of the team, we are working on finding ways to engage with you all more frequently and clearly while being mindful of our obligations to partners.

- After consideration, we have decided to allow NFT related entries into the Beauty Contest.

Please know we remain dedicated to improving the Neopets site and will have more site conversions, updates, and new features for you soon. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

TNT have acknowledged and now apologized about their lack of communication in a very informative post today on the Neoboards.
