#fr was the worst because the devs kept nerfing everything so i stopped bothering because it was already boring

did neopets ever fix their economy tho? I grew up with Neopets (used to collect the plush and books even) but trying to get back to it in recent years has been hard)

okay so this is actually a difficult question for me to answer, because while i'm not jeff bezos neopets rich, i'm still pretty comfortably "drop several million on paintbrushes and morphing potions" neopets rich

i started my current account in 2012 and said "i'm gonna make a million neopoints", so i spent a couple hours every day playing games i could get the max payout (1k) on, and banked 20-30k a day depending on my energy levels

so by the end of the month i had about a million neopoints

i then started dumping all of that money 15k at a time into the neopets stock market, while also continuing to play games. i hit about 5mill before i stopped playing games

now i just periodically (yeah, not even daily) check my stocks, sell anything that hits 200% profit, and buy a new set of 1000 shares at 15 np each, and my total neopoints keeps climbing. i'm at roughly 16mil now after (relatively) recently dropping a bunch on a few dream pets i had

so yeah if the economy was broken/fixed i wouldn't know because i somehow magically lifted myself out of neopoverty by my bootstraps and nobody is as surprised that i did it as i am
