Gameplay
Neopets is set in the fantasy lands of the virtual world of Neopia, which has its own calendar and timezone running concurrent with the real-world Pacific Time. It also has its own economy and stock market based on the Neopoint. Players earn Neopoints through various means including playing games and selling items. Once earned, they can be invested or used to buy various goods and services.
Site visitors can create up to five accounts per email address but only one can earn Neopoints. A user then creates a Neopet out of the available 54 and chooses its unique name, its physical characteristics, and its personality and may own up to four per account (five if the user in question is subscribed to Premium Portal). When creating a Neopet, users may pick between three sets of randomly generated stats used for battling in the Battledome. Players are expected to feed and care for their Neopets when they grow hungry or ill, although they will not die if they are neglected. New users start out with a newbie pack consisting of various items that introduce basic features of the site, such as food for feeding a pet. More items can be bought from other users' or from non-player characters' shops.
Users can play Neopets in any way they choose by collecting items, battling other Neopets, doing quests, playing games and more. Users can interact with their Neopets by reading books to them, caring for them, and playing with them. They can train their Neopets to fight against another player's Neopets or against non-player characters in the Battledome. Wearable items, such as certain clothing, can be used to customise a Neopet. Players can build a customisable Neohome for their Neopets and furnish it with furniture, wallpaper, and flooring.
Users violating the Terms and Conditions may be warned or their accounts penalized.
