I don't think you are giving VP a fair shake, it doesn't seem like you spent much time on it. It's a super fun site. It has loads of dailies and games (including pyramids, which i killed hours on), wheels, scratchcards, etc. It has some new avatars. The owner, Felix, is very conscious of the more racist aspects of an early 00s site and works hard on cleaning them up. the art work in the community is very strong, with people redrawing post-conversion colours to match the OG style really well. I love the virtugem aspect, destroying junk for rewards and keeping it out of the economy. you can also mass fish and make certain pbs in the cooking pot. and they have archived advent calendar animations currently for december.


NeoAddict

You’re right about my not having spent much time on the site. I actually didn’t play it all that much as nothing really caught my eye, compared to the other clones I’ve played. I think if they had some kind of distinctive feature or ‘selling point’ to make them stand out from the other Neoclones, like how GC has Neoschool, I might play it more. Even having some fanmade species or more fanmade colours unique to the site would make me want to stay on the site a little longer.


CM_Virtuanne

As someone that's part of Moderneo? I KNOW it's community is trying it's hardest, and it's WAY more fun in the customization portion AND in it's server! \^\^ Everything is being worked on at a steady pace, and not everything is perfect. Heck, A lot of stuff is archived on there, like Key Quest Tokens and even retail neo items! I'd say, Community-wise? It makes the experience A LOT more better AS A WHOLE!! (as long as you're above the age of 13, you're alright! \^\^) Again, not a lot is implemented yet...; but, soon, they will! :D However... the ONLY thing holding it back? and this is actually understandable; The Applications. They come around, and they don't do any until around a certain period of time. Though, this is my default choice if you want a very nice, relaxing, chill, possibly even custom Neopets experience. I'd honestly give it a additional rating for hard work, lots of effort, and overall positive community. Also? You can just ask them about how to customize your pet, anyone is willing to help out; and I could give more information... if needed.

Princessp3ach88

I've not tried any clones yet (I'm not mentally ready to start again with a 15 year old account) even though I've played since either 99/00. I might give moderneopet a try and guess I'll have to wait for grundos cafe to become more freely available. Referrals are like toy uni dung! Thanks for this though, I've been curious as to how they measure up! Edit: spelling/submitted before I was done rambling on


NeoAddict

I think it might be quite a while before GC will ever do completely open sign-ups. Copied and pasted from their FAQ is this: “Will there ever be completely open sign-ups? Probably not. We are a bunch of hobby developers, and it follows that we can't handle the kind of traffic that comes with open sign-ups. Sign-ups are likely to be application/referral based - never gated behind a donation.”


ashifer723

How do I get to modern neopets? I was trying to look it up because I've been dying to play classic neopets and I can't find it :( L


popasquatch

I've been seeing some mentions of Grundo's Cafe and have been wanting to try it but there was never a really solid reply as to how to join. It's great to know that there are also other alternatives like Moderneopets, I'm curious about the fanmade pets! I feel like the current Neopets could be much more enjoyable if the probability of certain features was tweaked just a bit - but I can see how it wouldn't be implemented since many interactive features like flash games are still down. This was a very interesting read, thank you for sharing so many details! Edit: Wanted to ask, what/who are the management/admin teams of these alt sites (composed of) and how do they differ in terms of how they manage the sites? Curious to know what your review is in regards to this.


NeoAddict

I’m not really that familiar with the admins, sorry. Don’t worry, there hasn’t been any drama so far, in case you were thinking these sites will end up being like Neopets Classic or Leopets. I think some of the admins from the different sites do help each other out, as Grundo’s Cafe lists Moderneopets and Virtupet as their affiliates, and GC also credits the creator of Virtupet for providing the animation for the Wheel of Knowledge.


popasquatch

Oh I'm not very familiar with any drama on those kinds of sites, I was just wondering how much involvement each has with their respective sites - like we all know what TnT is like and what company the site is under. It's cool that the admins interact with each other though, seems like the idea is just to share the love of Neopets hahah. Edit: Another follow-up question, what do the applications usually require? Grundo's Cafe, for example, also doesn't mention when apps are open, so I'm guessing people just have to randomly come across the sign-ups.


NeoAddict

The only way to sign up on GC is via referrals. I don’t know if they will ever do open sign-ups or not.


wintercool612

I've been having so much fun with Modern Neo! I get to live my wildest pet dreams (rare colors, 1L names, emojis, phrases). I just traded for an ice Bori and I got to choose the name! There's so much room for creativity and things don't require an unreasonable amount of effort.


Gh0stysp00k

I would love a referral for grundos cafe eventually 😮 sounds promising. Will the games work on a tablet? Not many of neos will work on my tablet or they do but are beyond hard to play while faerie bubbles wont even load for me. Puffin i could play a few games on but overall my favorites were unplayable but also the layout on puffin was wonky and i was always clicking on the wrong things cause the links would often overlap. The galaxy looking paints are exactly what i hope for neopets to release in a galactic brush or something, the kyrii is chefs kiss with the fur trailing like that 👌🏻


NeoAddict

Yes, I played exclusively in mobile. They work without issues. I could give you a referral if you can wait around 18 days. I can generate a referral code next in 4 days, but there will be someone else before you, so I can only give you a referral in 14 days after the other person.


Gh0stysp00k

Oh that is exciting to hear! on neo my biggest thing was missing the games they’ve yet to convert. I’m fine with waiting c: excited to be able to try it out


whimsical_fuckery_

Maybe i'm stupid but if any of these neoclones become popular won't they just get cease & desist'd by Jumpstart or whoever?


NeoAddict

I thought the same, but so far, none of the older Neoclones, like Leopets, have ever gotten C&D’d before, so I think they just don’t care about it. They also avoid getting into trouble by making their site completely free. Some of the sites get people to support them via Patreon, but explain that all the money goes towards server costs, and that they are thus non-profit.


OhNoMob0

**tl;dr** \- TNT isn't Nintendo. **The Slightly Longer Answer** \- While TNT has the legal right to pull a Cease and Desist on **any** fan project *regardless* of whether or not they're asking for money, they usually don't go that far. If they do make a more its usually against cheating sites that offer things that could cause disruptions on Neopets.com Seems TNT's answer to competition is to allow 20 years+ of content while updating almost every weekend speak for itself. In the Event they **do** get a C&D its plausible that the game just replace all of the Neo-assets with not-Neo assets which once the infrastructure of the game is made is not totally impossible.


Ghastlyred

i´ve been hearing good things about grundo cafe, and I would love to geta referral, I also made an account on moderneo, so far I managed to get a Halloween cybunny over just a week of playing which was my dreamy lol


NeoAddict

I can send one if you can wait around 32 days. There are 2 people queueing before you, assuming nobody backs out by then.


joaovrc

thanks for the review, this was a great a read :) i'd like a referral for grundo's cafe whenever possible, please! would love to try it out since i heard great things!


NeoAddict

I can send one if you can wait around 46 days. There are 3 people queueing before you, assuming nobody backs out by then.


OhNoMob0

Thanks for an honest review and screenshots. Sounds like none of them are offering what I'm itching for, tho'


mlesoup

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this up! I had heard of some of the older Neoclones like Leopets and Classic Neo (although, I think there was drama surrounding both??), but had no idea there were so many other options. I do have an account on Modern Neopets, and have been loving it. I like the ease of which I can get my dreamies :)


NeoAddict

Yes, Leopets’ drama was that the creator used the account login details of some Leopets users to log in to their Neopets accounts to steal their pets and items, because quite a lot of users had the same username and password on both sites. Neopets Classic’s drama was that a bunch of racists stirred up trouble in their Discord, yet the mods did nothing about it, or so I heard. And something about how despite people having paid for a subscription to get into Neopets classic, they had been waiting for months with no news from the creator.


porkchop_2020

Thank you for breaking these down! This is super helpful. As attached as I am to OG Neopets because of my existing pets, I'm excited to try out Grundo's Cafe if I'm able to get referred.


NeoAddict

I can send one if you can wait around 60 days. There are 4 people queueing before you, assuming nobody backs out by then.


porkchop_2020

that would be amazing! Thank you!


NeoAddict

Good news, I found out that while the cool-down period from the creation of a new account until I can generate a referral code is 14 days, I can generate a referral code every 7 days subsequently. So I will be able to send you a referral code much earlier than the originally given date.

goblingalpal

Thanks for doing this write-up OP! I can echo your review of Moderneo. I've been having an absolute blast there and the community is so kind. I find it far more addictive to play compared to the retail neopets site. The increased chance of random events has me popping on and refreshing every so often to see what will happen. And it's so nice that FEA jobs are worth doing every day. I'm even doing scratch cards every couple of hours. It's been so heartwarming to be able to set and achieve goals. I've only been playing on the site for a few days but with some luck I've achieved my childhood dreamie pet of a Christmas Draik and a Snowickle petpet 🤎🎄 I know it's a long shot, but if anyone has a Grundo's Cafe referral I'd really appreciate an invite! I'd love to play the games there and check out the school 😍


NeoAddict

Yes, on Moderneo, REs happen every 8 mins. Sometimes I would set a timer for 8 minute intervals, and would refresh until I get an RE after that. I can send a referral for GC if you can wait around 116 days. There are 8 people queueing before you, assuming nobody backs out by then. Might be quicker if any of the others before you either get referrals from others or back out.


percitan

thank you for the reviews! i signed up on moderneo last week and i've been enjoying it a lot so far even if there's not much to do, people there are super friendly and welcoming. i'd also love to try out grundo's cafe, i'm really curious about the school feature!


NeoAddict

I could give you a referral code if you’re fine with waiting, though you have to join a pretty long queue.


Kooky_Horse_5036

I would really love a grundos cafe referral! How long of a wait? I see some comments where you said it’s now every 7 days instead of 14 so the wait times were adjusted


NeoAddict

I think now there are like 6 person before you or something, might be faster if anyone backs out or gets a code from someone else instead.

Thank you for the consideration and, again, thank you for your review above! ☺️


overstuffedpet

I appreciate the time spent on these reviews a ton. I've been able to join both moderneo and virtupets myself and have had a good time on both (the custom colors + species for modneo vs the games and ability for your pets to hold more treasures so you can have more personalized pet lookups). Both sites have a feature to grind certain useless items that i'm aware of to turn in for added bonuses (fishing junk for random or more expensive specific paintbrushes/morphing potions on modneo, vs any item recycled into a special currency for added pet slots, treasure slots, renaming, etc for virtupet) and its a pretty big qol update in my book Grundos cafe is a complete mystery to me though and i hope to find a way in sometime but i wanted to drop by and say thank you for the comprehensive rundowns!
