Neopets has always been a metaverse, says Dominic Law, CEO of The World of Neopia. If you were born prior to the 2000s, you'll remember how much Neopets took the internet world by storm. By 2011, Neopets had 35M unique users, amassed 1 trillion page views, and was responsible for compelling an entire generation of children to internet proficiency and adoption. Not only that, but Neopets was free to play (before free to play), UGC (before UGC), web3-esque (before the blockchain), and a product placement paradise containing immersive ads all the way back in 2005. The rise and fall (and hopeful rise again) of Neopets contains a treasure trove of knowledge around community management, social gaming adoption, digital identity, user generated content, and the life cycle of products and businesses. As Neopets approaches its 25 Year Anniversary, join your host, Alexandra Takei, Director at Ruckus Games, as she speaks with Dominic about the parallels between Neopets and Roblox today, the history of multiple management teams over the course 25 years, and what Neopets is doing to rebuild a long lost IP. We'd also like to thank Nexus for making this episode possible!

You might have played Tamagotchi before, but for some of us who grew up in the early 2000s, we went for Neopets. Founded in 1999, Neopets is an immersive, web-based pet game where we raise our virtual pets, collect free items under the Money Tree, and of course, haggle for goods with virtual shopkeepers and get chased off for making an unreasonable bargain.  The online game was a hit back then. According to Mashable, the game saw 25 million users at its peak. A lot has changed since, and Mashable said the firm saw daily active users worldwide shrunk to just 100,000 by 2017.  Some of the mini-games on the website have also become unplayable after the discontinuation of the Adobe Flash Software in 2020.  Internally, the firm has also seen multiple changes to its ownership, from being owned by Viacom, the parent company of Nickelodeon, in 2005, to JumpStart Games in 2014, and thereafter by NetDragon after it acquired JumpStart Games. And when JumpStart Games closed this June, the firm became independent after an undisclosed management buyout deal. Its new management now wants to change things up by restoring minigames and doubling down on the use of intellectual property in merchandise. It wants to bring lapsed players back into Neopia, and capitalise on the nostalgia former users had for Neopets.  But how sustainable is nostalgia as a value proposition, and will it be heyday again for Neopets? On Under the Radar, The Evening Runway's finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Dominic Law, CEO, Neopets.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We've got a new episode where we discuss the latest happenings in Neopia, including Skeith Day, Grarrl Day, the Gormball Championships, and of course, the Faerie Festival! Plus: healing your inner child, rent control in Kiko Lake, and some shady items!

The 8bA Podcast is a podcast bringing you the latest and greatest geeky news of the past week. NEWS ITEMS Blizzard. The Verge reports that Blizzard will start offering some of its games on Steam. The first title will be Overwatch 2 on August 10th. Other titles have not been announced, but Blizzard did say that more info will be shared, “when the time is right.” Corsair. The Verge reports that Corsair is acquiring Drop, an online retailer that currently focuses on mechanical keyboards and keyboard accessories.

Eurogamer reports that the Council of the European Union has passed regulations that portable electronic devices, such as gaming handhelds, must have batteries that are removable and replaceable by the user by 2027. The intent is to make it easier for consumers to replace batteries, while also make it easier to recycle them, reducing carbon emissions. Microsoft. IGN reports that a judge for the UK's Competition Appeal Tribunal has paused Microsoft's appeal against the Competition Markets Authority. This will allow both parties time to negotiate.

We've also got listener emails about their dream blunt rotations, spooky YA books, and Neopets divorce court.

In this episode, we discuss the recently released Neopets roadmap, this year's Advent Calendar, and a timely editorial question about AI generated art. We also attempt to answer some important questions: How do vampires work in Neopia? Are Aishas or Lennies smarter? And were we horse kids or wolf/Warrior Cat kids in school?

The Form Foundation, along with Société and Dublin City Council, are bringing the NEOPETS exhibition, by New York artist Bunny Rogers, to the streets of Dublin for eight weeks only. This special exhibition is part of a new, collaborative effort, led by The Form Foundation, to bring a selection of the most talked-about pieces of contemporary art to Ireland – introducing internationally recognised painting, sculpture and installation art to local audiences and making it accessible to everyone. The Bunny Rogers NEOPETS exhibition takes place on Dublin's Kildare Street, Dublin 2 for 4 weeks only ( 5th of October – 6th of November). About Bunny Rogers The artist, Bunny Rogers takes inspiration from online gaming and digital identities from her youth, to create brilliant, bold sculptures for this show-stopping NEOPETS exhibition. Rogers' towering bronze sculptures bear resemblance to ornate European gargoyles, but are brilliantly modernised in Rogers' whimsical and bold artistic style. Speaking about the installation, Caroline Conroy, The Lord Mayor of Dublin; said: “These playful NEOPETS sculptures by Bunny Rogers are not to be missed. I'm delighted to see them take up residence in Dublin as a playful animation. It is sure to be a great addition to our city's conversation-starting public art scene.” A major reference for Rogers is the world of online gaming and the malleable identities endemic to role-playing and fantasy communities. This interest was not born out of purely conceptual or aesthetic considerations, but instead developed seamlessly from Rogers' own fascination and involvement with these platforms in her youth. Her first forays into art can be traced to her experiments on the website Neopets.com: an immersive online universe popular in the early 2000s in which children created and tended to virtual pets. For Rogers, spending time on the internet as a child was equated with a freedom from isolation and her work thereby evinces an enchantment with online expressions of community. “My Neopets were real to me,” Rogers explains, “I wished that I could visit Neopia and didn't understand why I couldn't.” The all-consuming structure of neopets.com—with its branded games that allowed players to win neopoints, the virtual currency needed to navigate the land of Neopia and provide for their NeoPets—fascinated Rogers with its conflation of consumption, fantasy, and care. Rogers describes the process of logging into Neopets after school as “coming alive again.” The connection she felt with the game and its players alleviated the feelings of isolation and loneliness experienced away from the keyboard. “The participation in an online world made me aware of a bigger community,” Rogers says, “and (it) gave me hope that what I was doing wouldn't always go unnoticed.” Rogers has made a number of sculptural works inspired by the Neopets, which have become one of the most emblematic references in her artistic practice. Although previous works in this series were more modestly scaled, Rogers has recently begun to conceive of these works on a grand scale for public space. She created a towering Neopet sculpture for the 2021 edition of Art Basel Parcours. Enlarged to over three meters, these virtual creatures who left such an indelible mark on Rogers' consciousness now assume an outsized physical form to meet us away from the keyboard. Three of these Neopets (Techno Statue, Shoyru Statue and Chia Statue) will be on display as part of this exhibition. Rogers' Neopets all have different moods and characteristics. Her conceptual engagement with bridging private, inner-worlds with moments of collectivity. By situating one of Rogers' Neopet sculptures in the public, common space visitors tap into an intimate space of memory, fantasy, and identity. The Neopets conceptually emphasise community, collaboration, cooperation, and the power of inventiveness and innovation. Such qualities not only drive successful organisations and teams, but also are ...

Neopets, a kid-friendly site from the early 2000s that let users raise digital pets and play games with them, has fallen far from its peak popularity. The nostalgic luster of it also seems to be fading, following the site's recent failed attempt at Neopet NFTs—not to mention its years-old, mostly broken user interface. On today's show, Madison and Allegra look back at the happier times of Neopia past, discussing their early experiences on the site and exactly how it's grown, or not, with the times. Then they interview concept artist Claire Hummel about her teenage years interning at the site, the creative freedom the staff used to have, and why nobody could ever get enough Neopoints to buy all those cool items.
