When animals were first created, we had dogs and cats and birds and fish to keep us company as our pets. And after the evolution
of the Internet, we now have NeoPets.Com to play with everyday.
NeoPets.Com (www.neopets.com)
is no ordinary virtual pet site. Launched in early November 1999, the site has more than 9 million members and 13 million pets
existing to date. And it's not only for small kids either. Big kids, as old as 20 to 30 years of age, also enjoy the thrills of caring for
their very own virtual pet.
What's interesting about NeoPets.Com is that members get to create theirs from a wide variety of pets - mine was a
Flotsam but later morphed into a Poogle. The pets need to be fed, groomed, played with and trained just like real animals.
Neopians (people who own Neopets) have cash called Neopoints, used for the purchase of food items, toys and other necessities.
Don't worry if they run out though, they can be replenished by playing the many fun and exciting Flash and Java games littered
everywhere in the World of Neopia, with exciting places to go to like Tyrannia, the prehistoric land, or Terror Mountain, home to a
beautiful Winter wonderland.
Playing at NeoPets.Com makes you feel like you're playing Pok�mon, but truly, this is far more exciting than yellow,
electric Pikachus. The pets' looks are enough to keep you locked on to the screen for hours, and not forgetting that there are
surprises lurking in every single page you go to, thousands of items to discover, beautiful towns to visit, fun games to play, and a
very challenging Battledome, where pets come to pit their skills against other pets using a wide array of skills and weapons. No
wonder the adults are playing it too.
NeoPets.Com is highly addictive, and definitely very worth the time interacting with those lovable creatures.
