Yet Another Neopet NFTs Update

aka “this shit will be out of date within hours because things keep happening”

Anyways, the official NFT token sale (did I mention you have to buy tokens for these NFTs so you can actually mint them? You don’t buy them directly, for some reason) ended early this morning, and right after that people were able to mint their Neopet NFTs.

The actual sale was botched - the sale began a few minutes before the official start time of 9 UTC, so quite predictably all the cheapest NFTs were sold out within seconds (i.e. bought out by bots)

(chart made by CaptainP on the r/Neopets Discord server)

In the end only 4,233 out of 10,500 NFT tokens sold. So not even half.

Anyways with the token sale ended, people were finally able to actually mint their Neopets NFTs, and not everyone was happy.

The actual NFTs, predictably, look like shit!

In the end only 10 out of 55 Neopets species were used, in only 20 out of dozens of potential colors. Also they did not tell anyone that the species and colors would be this limited, so there’s that.

But wait! There’s more!

Dress to Impress, a Neopets fansite where users can preview clothes on different Neopets, may very well have had its assets stolen for the second time by the Metaverse team. DTI has now put a disclaimer on their site about it:

BUT WAIT, THERE’S EVEN MORE!

People found out, by looking through the transaction history, that 100 more of the NFT tokens were created out of thin air, bringing the total possible NFT count up to 10,600.

When this was brought up in the Metaverse server, a mod finally responded after the second or third time.

(awfully long and stupid way to say “we’ll look into it”)

The tokens will be able to be minted til the 18th. What else will happen between now and then? Who even knows.

bonuses:

This idiot didn’t even know there wasn’t an NFT game to go with the NFTs (Metaverse still hasn’t done anything with the vague ‘roadmap’ they put up before the sale).

But like. Neopets is still very much a game you can play. On the internet. For free.

THEY’RE CALLED GRARRLS. THESE GUYS BOUGHT NEOPETS NFTS WITHOUT KNOWING ANY OF THE SPECIES.

and Grarrls aren’t within the 10 species included in the NFTs so no, no one got a t-rex.

#jfc this situation just keeps getting worse and worse #nft drama

i just can't understand, besides them simply not understanding or caring about the userbase, why they keep launching these doomed side projects instead of putting that money and effort into the site itself. early 2000s nostalgia is HUUUUGE right now and if they'd fixed the site and launched like, a tiktok account, we could be experiencing a neopets renaissance. but instead we get NFTs for the second time. fuck jumpstart

mallarchy

so let me get this straight... jumpstaff is willingly alienating the player base that's stuck with them for years out of faith and loyalty, because they want to get money from NFT fans who might be nostalgic for neopets... who will either never open the site or will find it in it's current broken, pathetic, borderline-unenjoyable state and not stick around... all while poisoning the fucking earth. i encourage everyone to cancel their premium, stop buying NC, and either raise hell on the boards or just log off forever.
