History Fridge / Neopets

* For most of the site's lifespan, most of Neopia was in MedievalStasis. The staff said when asked about this in one editorial that while {{Hand Wav|e}}ing more advanced technology by saying it was from Virtupets would be ''possible'', it wouldn't be ''advisable'' because most other pets would be highly suspicious of someone using something so connected with a dictator like Dr. Sloth. In 2022 and 2023 though, the tech restrictions started considerably lessening, and modern tech has been popping up more and more. Dr. Sloth's invasion was in early 2000... [[Recap/SouthParkS6E1JaredHasAides about 22.3 years prior. Enough time has passed for the global trauma to wear off]].

* The [[https://items.jellyneo.net/item/72422/ Beelzebug]] -- an obvious play on {{Beelzebub}} -- is notable for having a ''much larger'' item image than other petpetpets, appearing a comparable size to whatever petpet it's attached to. It's not an [[OffModel art style consistency error]]; it really is the largest petpetpet, that's why they named it [[BilingualBonus the lord of the flies]].

* Faeries are regularly shoved into bottles and sold like chattel, and this is apparently considered acceptable by the entirety of Neopia. Buying one is considered no different than buying a Green Apple or Orange Chicken, and you can throw them in your Safety Deposit Box and leave them in there for as long as you like, [[AndIMustScream which can be years or even decades]] (and come to think of it, you can do this to Petpets, too). Balthazar isn't even the only one who bottles Faeries; one of the companies on the Stock Market is Balthazar's Faerie Bottling Inc.--an entire ''company'' exists solely to kidnap Faeries, shove them into bottles and sell them for a profit. Their description even says, "Why anybody lets these people on the Stock Exchange is beyond most people!"

* Petpets and Bottled Faeries are both living things. They are also items that you can throw into your Safety Deposit Box and leave in there for as long as you like, [[AndIMustScream which can be years or even decades]].

* Petpetpets have become one of the most desired items on the site, as they are absurdly expensive and difficult to acquire. But many of their descriptions say that they have unpleasant effects on your Petpet. For example, the Cooty causes rashes, the Flankin causes burns, the Greevix secrets a slime that irritates the skin, the Lightmite bites, the Moquot likes to drink blood and the Veespa causes red lumps. Does that mean that when you are giving your Petpet a Petpetpet, you are basically making them suffer for the sake of having a status symbol on your pet's page?

* Every so often, TNT decides to carry out an account purge to clear space on the Neopets servers, deleting a certain number of accounts that have not been active for at least a year and a half (although one has not occurred since October 2012, and it is unknown if another will ever be carried out). Neopets are sapient in-universe, so [[RetGone when an account is purged]]...
