    JumpStart Q&A

    While we have a JumpStart representive on clraik, everyone who has concerns and comments they would like to share can post here
    I would like it to be visible and easier to find for everybody.l

    @(you need an account to see links) please respond here as I have closed the (you need an account to see links)

    As you can see, the general response has been positive and we're all hoping for some changes - with customer service (mainly tickets) and your current staff - and that's exciting for everyone who plays Neopets.

    I want to ask, is there a plan in place to promote Neopets to gain new members? Or is JumpStart's focus at the moment to maintain it's current player base?
    I made a thread almost a month back asking where and how people heard of neopets (you need an account to see links) and if you get a chance to read it, you'll see almost all of us grew up playing from a young age and I think for Neopets to thrive we need new blood. Are there any plans to promote Neo to the younger audience?

    Could Jumpstart itself, not TNT, speak to the player base frankly about the future of the site?

    JS bought a very strange site. What did they see in it?

    Edit: Oh, and yes, thanks for joining the community. We're not a bad bunch.

    We people on neopets enjoy good customer service and previously we haven't really gotten enough of it from the neopets support.

    First of all: awesome that JumpStart decided to sign up on here.
    I fully agree on communicating better with their players and indeed, paying customers for sure. Other then that, I truely hope we will be listened to much better aswell. Some situations are currently being shoved aside as unimportant and probably "not worthy of the staff's time" and being responded with a lame excuse such as, "we can't help you because -insert lie here-". I have had it happen a couple of times when I sent in a ticket, so I hope this will change in the near future.

    Previous management allowed customer inquiries about their frozen accounts to go unanswered for months and even up to 2 years. And this was a common occurrence, not a once in a while thing. Early in previous management, tickets were responded to within 3 days. So we went from 3 days to 2 years.

    Do you as a company see that as unacceptable customer service?

    they've already stated that they are in the process of improving their communication skills with their players.. :l Plus they just put a facebook post up about tickets.

    Hi there @(you need an account to see links)

    Are you a member of TNT, or are you a representative of JumpStart as a whole? I think that might take care of a lot of our questions.

    I think that's more of a TNT thing. There's a difference between the two- the JS rep we had show up likely wasn't (and likely won't be) concerned with Neopets specific content unless they specifically affect the direction of the site (in the mind of JS).

    This is my guess though. JS won't just tell TNT what to do in specific content cases, but rather guide their subsidiary as a whole.

    TL;DR: TNT is responsible for content. JS is less so.

    This is actually pretty cool to see, loving JS just a little bit more.

    I feel like neopets is going to take this a whole other way though
