I guess technically they are working on the currency imbalance by giving us more pebble sinks, but I was kind of hoping it would also/instead include making moonstones a little easier to get.

[dapperbees]

Like don't get me wrong, I appreciate that they did a couple little updates that had been requested (auto fishing and bulk bone paste). But the biggest issue on Lorwolf right now is the currency imbalance and trying to move to the next big feature without addressing that or at least saying "Yes, we know this needs to change," makes me feel bad.

[dapperbees]

Not Lorwolf releasing a poll asking what big shiny new feature people want next without acknowledging the balancing issues the userbase is asking about ...

[dapperbees]

Rotating in my mind the concept of a Lorwolf nuzlocke.

I've started logging onto Dappervolk again just for the schadenfreude of watching people who still care about that site suffer its awful staff and wow, the "winter" event does not disappoint in that regard.

I also have the deranged desire to sign up for either gaiaonline or everskies even though I don't think I'll actually like either.

[dapperbees]

Getting started on Lorwolf and I quite like it.

I did the math and all the pets I want on Neopets are so expensive that I don’t think it’s even worth trying to get them, considering that I don’t want to put a lot of my time into Neopets in 2023 ... :/

[dapperbees]

Refreshing Neopets tonight, thinking about morphing/repainting my Pirate Peophin and/or getting another pet but IDK what colors I like. As an adult I find most of the converted pets pretty unappealing ...

So here’s me making a list of the pets that do appeal to me.

Robot Grundo (had one of these, adopted him out, they immediately traded him, now I miss him)

Robot Gnorbu

Pastel Bori (would be a nice base to customize, though I haven’t customized a pet in 8 years)

Transparent Jubjub

Burlap Kau

Candy or Maraquan Korbat

Faerie Peophin

Mutant Poogle

Mutant Pteri

Transparent Ruki

Wraith or Royal Shoyru

Maraquan Tonu

Spotted Vandagyre

That’s a lot ... I’ll see if I want to narrow down this list and act on it or if I’d rather just stop logging into Neopets, lol.

Pixel Cat's End is a virtual pet site where you collect and manage a village of cat-like creatures. You can dress them up, give them jobs, build and decorate their homes, and take them on tabletop-rpg-style adventures.

Come down and get yourself some small, round little kitty not-cats! Features:

The tiniest baby kittens you have ever seen in your entire life.

A very slow/casual-paced game that you can easily keep up with even if busy with work or school.

Say goodbye to the gender binary.

Giant (friendly) magical moose with hundreds of eyes, if that sweetens the deal for you.

Some future features:

Ascend your cats to their final form and give them antlers, wings, and spare eyes.

Mercats. Yes, you heard me. Mermaid kitties with little fishie tails and fluffy kitty pawsies. They will be yours.

Magical kitty cat powers (and terrible consequences for unlocking the secrets of the universe).

Official Launch Plans and Development Timeline

It’s finally happening, after nearly 4 years of development, a successful Kickstarter, and multiple testing phases, we are super duper excited to announce that Lorwolf is officially launching on Thursday, April 6th 2023! 

On our list of things to tackle are player suggestions, including the puppy predictor and many other QoL improvements. Even with the game launching soon, development is ongoing and will continue even after the full launch. As always, thank you for your patience as we continue tinkering behind the scenes. 

Shown below is our Development Timeline including important dates to be aware of. Specific launch times will be determined as we get closer to April. Please note: all info shown in the graphic is subject to change! 

Early Access Closing Information

Early Access will be closing on Thursday, March 9, 2023. All early access player accounts will be wiped (including all inventories, wolves, etc.) and the game will be reset. 

Listed below are other important details to be aware of: 

Players will not be able to log back in to their accounts until official launch on April 6, 2023. 

Cross-site trade deals must take place on April 6 or later. 

Moonstone purchases will be restored to player accounts in the form of a game credit. 

Item codes (from the Kickstarter, Shopify purchases, Alpha/Beta testing, etc.) can be re-used during official launch. 

Custom apparel items that were accepted during early access will need to be resubmitted during official launch.

New Hunting NPCs - Stella and Coco

Ahoy there! A pair of sea dogs have just landed upon the shores of Loria. Captain Stella and her rambunctious little sister Coco come from far away lands in search of riches and new adventures. Their close ties with each of the packs means they always have the latest news on beast, monster, and treasure hunting locations. Check back daily to see what new missions are available! 

[dapperbees]

Ah, it looks like signups at most of the Neoclones are closed anyway.

[dapperbees]

I’ve been hanging out on Neopets over the last couple days but it’s pretty hellish ... Wondering if I should sign up for Neopets Classic and/or Virtu.pet instead.

There are so many issues with Neopets but I think the thing that makes it most miserable to play is that 98% of the items are absolutely worthless, and I’m not sure if either clone would fix that.
