Neopets Metaverse @NeopetsMeta

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on our recent announcements. I understand your concern, given the significant transition we are undergoing at Neopets. The move away from the Neopets Metaverse is not an abandonment of our commitments but a decision to better align our product with what the broader Neopets community has been asking for. We value all feedback, so if you would like to discuss further our DMs are open to address any specific concerns you might have.

Neopets Metaverse Transition: A Message from The Neopets Team Greetings, Neopians! Change is in the air, and Neopets is entering a new era! But what exactly does that mean? Well, for one, Neopets has new leadership, which is working as a new, cohesive unit with TNT to ensure that all Neopets products are in line with the values and community that have helped Neopets to thrive for nearly 25 years. Second, TNT has more resources, both in terms of funding and an expanded team. These new resources will help us hone our development tactics and put extra focus on the improved quality and new features in both Neopets.com and our other Neopets projects. This being said, TNT has taken a close look at every nook and cranny of Neopets, and after doing so, the decision has been made to transition away from the Neopets Metaverse game and redistribute those resources to the development of a game that we feel can better reflect our values and vision. This decision was not made lightly, but it was made for the best reason: we want to design a game that’s more in line with what the community has been asking for! Neopets leadership has made it their priority to listen to TNT and the community on how to move forward into the future with Neopians in mind. Together, we went back to the drawing board and came up with a fresh concept: World of Neopets. Since making this decision, we have repurposed some of the best assets from the Neopets Metaverse game while refocusing the core game loop and overall direction. We learned a tremendous amount while working on the Neopets Metaverse project, and we want to apply those lessons and progress in our future endeavours. For those of you who have supported the Neopets Metaverse project, we appreciate your loyalty and dedication. The Neopets - Genesis Collection, Neopets - Pizzaroo Collection and Neopets - Masterpiece collection are all still available on the open marketplace, and we will continue to support the community that has embraced ownership of these collections. The Neopets Metaverse discord will continue to exist as a place for digital collectable holders to connect with each other. We hope you will join us in embracing this new chapter in our company’s growth and development. We are so excited about the next chapter that World of Neopets represents, and we hope you are too. To learn more about World of Neopets and the other changes coming with this new chapter, head on over to our Medium: medium.com/@neopetsmetave…

Thank you for reaching out and voicing your concerns. The investors listed believe in the team's ability to build a brighter future for the whole Neopets IP. They are extremely supportive of our vision and what we have in store for all Neopians and new players. We value all our users, our digital collectible holders and their feedback, so if you would like to discuss in more detail, we are more than willing to have a conversation via DMs to address any specific concerns you might have.

Greetings Neopians, we have recently announced many changes and would like to clarify some points with our digital collectible holders. First and foremost, this is not a rugpull. Throughout last year, we launched two playable Alpha game builds exclusively for holders of our digital collectibles, namely our Neopets - Genesis Collection, Neopets - Pizzaroo Collection, Neopets - Masterpiece Collection, and selected invitees. Our first Alpha was live from Aug 26 to Sep 24, 2022 and included a re-imagined Neopia Central in 3D, along with playable 3D animated versions of some of our most popular Neopets species: Shoyru, Kougra and Xweetok. Core features such as dressing up and interacting with Neopets, decorating your Neohome, as well as battling against other Neopets in the new Battledome were, albeit in their basic form, available for our users to see and experience. We had also remade three nostalgic mini-games: Turmac Roll, Meerca Chase and Ultimate Bullseye, with new graphics and gameplay. Our second Alpha: Winter Edition, was live from Dec 20, 2022 to Jan 31, 2023. It showcased a new land, Terror Mountain, along with overall improvements to the UX/UI and a more complete game loop. Quest systems and rewards were linked to different features of the game and two additional mini-games: “Snowball Fight” and “Icy Islands” were re-imagined to fit the theme of Terror Mountain. Also added to the game was a new Neopet species, Uni, with new clothing and furniture items for the Neohome. As part of the Easter campaign on Mar 27 to Apr 17, 2023, we released a new mini game called Sundae Sweep and hosted a competition for our users to participate. During these times, we received valuable feedback from our users. We found that the results did not match the expectations of our broad Neopets community. Our audience, that we hold dear to our hearts, did not agree with the direction of the game. Listening to the voices of the community is paramount to the success of our brand and it is important to our team to listen to the needs and wants of our fans – to do what is best for Neopets overall. After the recent reviews by TNT (The Neopets Team) ahead of the leadership change, the decision has been made to transition away from the Neopets Metaverse, as we want to design a game that is more in line with what the community has been asking for. Since making this decision, we have repurposed some of the best assets from the Neopets Metaverse game while refocusing the core game loop and overall direction. We aim to build a game that engages our whole fan base, from our very first players in 1999 to our newest players. We will continue embracing any new technologies to improve our gameplay and user experience, as we believe it is the best way to revitalise our brand and attract a new generation of Neopets fans. We are so grateful for the community's support and want to emphasise the importance of building together to bring Neopets back to its glory days. Neopians who believe in web3 (i.e. our digital collectible holders) are a valuable and respected part of our community, and we will be announcing more details on future perks soon as a sign of our appreciation. These may include physical merch, NC items, NC, premium subscription, access to IRL events, and more across the brand. Please stay tuned to our future releases and announcements. Our investors believe in the team's ability to execute on building a brighter future for Neopets. They are extremely supportive of our vision for the IP and what we have in the pipeline, and we hope you are too. And as always, we’ll see you in Neopia.

We are so grateful for the support of the community that has sprung up around the Neopets digital collectable lines, and as a sign of our appreciation we will be announcing more details on future perks soon. These may include physical merch, NC items, NC, access to IRL events, and more. Thank you for being a part of the Neopets community. We appreciate your continued support as we work to build #Neopets back to its glory days.

@Blk_Shy_Guy We have repurposed some of the best assets from the Neopets Metaverse game, but we have refocused the core game loop and overall direction. We will continue to support the Web3 community that has embraced ownership of these collections.
