    HomuraAkemiTheHero reacted to ashleagh in If You Could Improve Anything About the Site   
    As many users have already mentioned, I would like to see  site glitches fixed before new content is released. Some things I'd like:
    ~ Defenders of Neopia...Finally have my pet trained to a point where I can progress and earn more tophies!
    ~ Keyquest...Had so much fun playing with my sister. I live in a different town and it was a great way for us to catch up :)
    ~ Broken games...Hannah and the Pirate Caves will not load for me...and I really want to try for the avvy!
    ~ Bring back Sloths Stamp Auctions or figure out a different way to release the retired ones into the economy. I have absolutely no hope of completing many of my pages, and it is very discouraging.
    ~ Figure out a way to make the Trophy and High Scores more fair...Things like the top stamp collectors and avatar collectors remaining at the top of the board eternally (due in part to retired stamps and avvies) is also very discouraging. The trophies are only awarded once, so maybe allow only people who haven't won the top trophy to be on the HS? Or ban previous winners from being on the board for a couple months just to give everyone else a shot? I don't know, but something could be done.

    I have a really simple fix, though it's not actually something on the site per se... Honestly, I think they need to work on their advertising! If they advertise better with well placed ads (like I've always said, during a show like Adventure Time when people of all ages are watching!) then they could draw in a lot of new customers. New customers means more players means more money going into the site, which in turn should ultimately solve all the other problems the site currently has.

    BURN!!!
     
    Just kidding.
     
    I think they are confused, to be honest. Like, they want to make money, which is good, because in order to neo to be successful business has to be good. But I think they underestimate the power of marketing. Not just marketing, but marketing to the right people. It seems like they wanted a clear and defined neopets identity that falls in line with the rest of the JS product. But they didn't account for they fact that the site has so many players who are adults. So they have a conflict of interest. Invest in site projects that market kids, as their "JS identity" suggests, or invest in site projects that market older folks, who may or may not spend money.
     
    All the things we want them to improve just aren't that high on their priority list right now. I agree with the above post that the NC is a big thing for them. But I don't entirely blame them. It's more a matter of finding that sweet balance of how important the NC is, compared to everything else. They may end up losing the interest of those folks who are most likely to spend money by ignoring other aspects of the site.

    It's probably because they aren't translating item names at the time or they quit translating that language (I highly doubt Deutsch would be discontinued) . Here's an editorial from awhile back about why it may be happening  http://home.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=704.  Also this was another not really recent thing but was the most relevant  http://pinkpt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=38030&p=828051.
    I guess they still haven't found translators for Italian from the looks of the forum post.
    Hope this helps you.

    HomuraAkemiTheHero reacted to Scoobert_Doo in What would YOU base a Charity Corner event on?   
    The Neopets PetPet Preservation - a place (land) to protect petpets. You could donate all of the petpets you get as Battledome prizes, etc. Plus, protect poor Warfs from Faeries - why do they need them for their spell quests? I know I could sell them in my shop, but I'd donate them for a chance of other items/rare items.
     
    EDIT: Neopets Recycling Center - I was thinking of a paper recycling center, as I have many TCG cards from the Battledome, too, but why not make the Recycling Center a permanent place where you could donate your items, like the Charity Corner, but any items in the same rarity range, like hrtbrk said. And why not have it where you could do it every day, instead of just once a year? You could have the machine there, as hrtbrk smartly suggested. I think it would benefit all and wouldn't cause crazy inflation, like the once a year events do. Heck, they could even make an event or plot out of it.

    I wouldn't pick a specific item pool, because I think that's what deters a lot of people from being able to participate since inflation happens 30 minutes after the event releases.
     
    How i would set it up, is have it be a machine that you chuck in 5 items of the same or similar rarity to get an item of that rarity back. The 5 items you put into the machine poops out a new item :D

    In the charity corner thread I jokingly said that the next one should be to help the Meridell farmers and we'll need to donate dung, just because that's a junk item that just about everyone gets rid of. Maybe it's a concept that really could work though, albeit for a totally douchebag charity corner, at least :laughingsmiley: Just consider the other kinds of things that are used to make fertiliser: seaweed, fish, bonemeal, wood that's breaking down, crops that are past their best...you see where I'm going here?  :shiftyeyes_anim: All the stuff that ends up on the money tree because no-one wants it. Imagine if you suddenly gained prizes for donating quantities of these things in an event, it'd be uproar  :laughingsmiley: 
     
    So yeah, what concept would you guys use for your own charity corner? Be it a nice one, or a totally passive aggressive one like mine :woot:

    So, anyone thinking about a costume to wear for Halloween? :)
     
    I've kinda already got one planned. Although the games and the fandom (especially the fandom...) have been getting kind of a bad rap lately, I've been thinking of going as The Puppet from Five Nights at Freddy's. :laughingsmiley: Already got the costume planned out and everything.

    I'd actually put time and effort into the items. Also, they wouldn't look like these poor excuses for "items"....

     

     

     



     

    I mean... they aren't even trying. I'm not a stellar artist in the slightest, but... still.

    I earned 20'000 neopoints from playing Ghoul Catchers on my kindle . It's the largest amount of endpoints I've earned in a day.... and then proceeded to spend them all on stamps without paying attention to how much I had left,now I'm broke again. Oh well I at least got new stamps. Back to Ghoul Catchers it is then!

    I'm not sure if I experienced it or not but there are some sounds that I find to be nice like certain sounds on some video game option menu's. I have used an ASMR video that was made to help people fall asleep before though. The video was only 16 minutes but I had fell asleep quickly so if I ever have problems with sleeping I use it. When using the video to help fall asleep I normally wake up feeling more wide-awake then when I don't use it.

    HomuraAkemiTheHero got a reaction from brynchilla in Criticism in the Art Community.   
    I don't think a greater artist should criticize a artist with lesser skills negatively. Because I'm sure that over time artists have gotten better at drawing then they were a year or 2 ago. The only time I think it would be ok if it was positive criticism meaning that they pointed out something wrong in the artwork but pointed out what they did good with and recommended ideas on how to improve and be a better artist. One of my English teachers had always have us write what was good and some negatives that we may have noticed in a another student's writing and also how they can improve so they can achieve a higher level in writing and she had told us it was the same with almost any sort of skill like drawing,cooking,painting etc. So really it depends on what someone says. To be honest I haven't seen a more skilled artist criticize a artist with lesser skills then them so I can't say much about that.
