    How could three people downvote this important technology news?!

    The truly sad thing is this is before I standardized my email and username for gaming so there’s no telling what email I used in order to be able to recover my account. My golden Drake with over 2000 magic power is forever lost ✊😞

      From this Kotaku article:

      But fixing Flash-based games isn’t all the team plans to do. It also “took a long, hard look at community feedback on Neopets Metaverse” and NFTs, two recent initiatives which Neopets fans almost uniformly hated. “It quickly became clear that the game just didn’t line up with everything that made Neopets…well…Neopets,” the team wrote. Instead, the team is abandoning that venture (thank god), and focusing instead on an upcoming mobile game called World of Neopets, “a social life-simulation game in which you live your ideal Neopian life from the perspective of a Neopet.”

      and

      The devs promised that World of Neopets will not just be a rebranding of the maligned Neopets Metaverse. “There are no NFTs in World of Neopets, and the game is NOT built on a crypto model,” they wrote. Blessings!
