History YMMV / Neopets

* ScrappyMechanic: The new Yooyuball controls. ALL the new Yooyuball controls. Now the computer decides when to switch players, meaning that when you're playing a defender it will randomly switch to the goalie, and while you're still unaware that you're playing the goalie, the ball goes in. Charging your shots is also extremely annoying, as if you simply press space to shoot the ball barely moves at all. The opposing team doesn't even seem to need [[TheComputerIsaCheatingBastard to charge that long]]. Though TNT has said they're working on it, the new keyboard controls are also extremely hard to use if you're a leftie, and for people with wrist, hand, or arm problems, the game is now unplayable. The dash is almost uncontrollable, though somehow the other team can use it perfectly. The speed powerup makes my player run laps around the ball before actually picking the ball up. My wrist is sore from pressing the keys down so much, and I don't even have any problems with my wrist otherwise. People with slower computers are also completely exiled from the game, as the new game requires a very fast computer to run at all. The clock is stopped for cutscenes and extra time is added every goal made, thus making the games drag on and on, and making All-Star extremely hard to get. TNT decided to fix something that wasn't broken, and they [[GoneHorriblyRight succeeded]].

** There also have been a lot of complains from members about the changes TNT made to Yooyuball for Altador Cup VI, mainly because the controls were changed from the mouse to the arrow keys and space bar.

** The new Yooyuball... Has not been well recieved thanks to the controls being un-necessarily simplified.

* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: There have been a lot of complains from members about the changes TNT made to Yooyuball for Altador Cup VI, mainly because the controls were changed from the mouse to the arrow keys and space bar.

* TrueNeutral: While many count, few are so famous for it as the Zafara Double Agent of the Meridell vs. Kass War. Her loyalty was already ambiguous when she double-crossed Meridell and gave Kass information on King Skarl's army. When it was found out that she had fed him ''false'' information, and considering how no confirmation was ever explicity given on ''how much'' of her info had been false, it's generally been decided that it's useless to try and call her "good" or "evil".
** Ambiguity, deception, and keeping no permanent alliances are typically what a good spy does, after all.

* UnpleasableFanbase: The general rule is that every color, pet, site feature, and flash game that Neopets will release will have a sizable chunk of the users complaining about it or complaining that The Neopets Team should be working on other things like releasing new Avatars or working on a new plot.
** And if it's a plot, a sizable chunk of the users will either be complaining that it features too much puzzling and not enough fighting, or too much fighting and not enough puzzling.
*** And if it does have enough of the above, people will start complaining that it's story is lame. And so on...
** Now, users with young accounts seem to complain about all the perks "loyal users" receive, such as new shops, more neoboard titles, more neopet transfers per month, and such.
** Back in the good old days, everyone wanted to dress their pets. Now you can, and everyone is whining about it.
*** [[JustifiedTrope Slightly justified]]- most of the older clothes are still unwearable, most clothes [[AllegedlyFreeGame have to be literally bought with Neocash]], and all of the pets underwent a redesign to allow the option to clothe them. It also creates friction between the average users and the richer users a la the paint brushes. Of course, they have less value now too thanks to some being categorized as clothes (i.e. Royal).
*** This troper disagrees that it's justified. While what you state is true, people should've expected such. It would be too difficult for pets to be clothed in their old designs. Plus, there are many nice wearables that can be bought with neopoints and as for the friction between users regarding paint brushes...well...there's always been friction with that.

* CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming: YMMV on this. It's not from any of the plots, however. Any Pound Chat regular should know the story of Gwen, a blue Uni, who was being transferred between accounts. The transfer was canceled, but Gwen's owner's account had been deactivated, so she was stuck in limbo until the admins got around to solving her problem. Many a PC-er wanted to adopt her, many of which only did so because of her plight. This troper isn't too sure about the details, but Gwen is now happily adopted, morphed into a Gold Draik, and it's clear her new owner loves her very much.

** The Xweetok also used to sell without any merch or characters to help promote it, but this thinned out gradually. [[spoiler:[[WellIntentionedExtremist Xandra]]]] also helped give the species a boost. There's also Lillian Fairwether from the ''Journey ot the Lost Isle'' plot.

* HighOctaneNightmareFuel: The transparent Color. [[http://pets.neopets.com/cp/6l88vgkc/1/4.png This]] is what happens. Sure, Invisible was literal... but this is what happens when your pet is stuck in an X-ray.

** In the pre-Viacom days, Chias were a Wesley species; Adam and Donna LOVED Chias, and they got two holidays "Chocolate Chia Day and Celebrate the Birth of the First Chia) to every other pet's one. Along with their rather poor design and having the much better designed [[BigBadassWolf Lupe]] as their "rival" species, they remain TheScrappy to this day.

** mr.coconut. When both him and his "GOOD NIGHT!" were removed from the Editorial, tons of users sent letters demanding his return.

** Most plot villains jump over the MoralEventHorizon [[FridgeHorror somehow]]; Galem jumps over it when he's willing to cause an entire species to die out of his own {{Greed}}; Scarblade is actually attempting to destroy a land and commit genocide out of [[FantasticRacism]]; Razul cursed his own city - and his own SON - so he could achieve eternal life as a fiery demon; [[MagnificentBastard Krawley]] manipulated EVERYONE into furthering his whims so [[ItGotWorse Neovia got worse]]; and Kass... Well, anything Kass does, but ESPECIALLY when he seemignly kills [[TheHero Jeran]].

** Or when they sold the site and started putting ads ''everywhere''. [[supersecretspoiler: Adblock]].

* FreudWasRight: [[http://images.neopets.com/images/nf/zafara_gdayclothes10.png Zafara chest fur]] seems to [[MostCommonSuperpower fill out their clothes quite well.]] And yes, [[DroppedABridgetOnHim this also applies to males]].

** Or when they sold the site and started putting ads ''everywhere''. [[supersecretspoiler: Adblock.]]

* CreepyAwesome: [[spoiler:Probably the reason Xandra has a fanbase.]]

** Hannah and the Pirate Caves was so popular, the titular Usul adventuress appeared in her own plot, which introduced another Darkhorse, [[DracoInLeatherPants Kanrik]].

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler:Xandra may be scary, but let's face it-[[CrowningMomentOfAwesome manipulating you into crashing Farieland in a scene that would make a Final Fantasy villain proud was pretty damn cool.]]]]

* WinBACKTheCrowd: The Faerie's Ruin has been a smash hit upon old-school Neopets fans from the pre-Viacom years, and among newer fans.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: Moltara. YourMileageMayVary, of course, but not many people were expecting a ''SteamPunk''-themed world, of all things!

* MoralEventHorizon: While most villainss often fall in the HarmlessVillain territory [[spoiler:Xandra falls in the CompleteMonster territory]][[http://www.drsloth.com/p/view/162912/ as it can be seen here]]. Actually doing something not even the BigBad Dr sloth was able to do.

**** [[YourMileageMayVary YMMV]]; this troper just finished reading the comic and was sorely disappointed. WellIntentionedExtremist tries to bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt and recreate the world in their image [[ForHappiness "for the greater good"]], or all because of some slight, perceived or otherwise, committed against them and/or their kind in the past? Sorry, [[PokemonRubyAndSapphire but]] [[PokemonDiamondAndPearl it's]] [[PhoenixWrightAceAttorney al]][[FinalFantasy rea]][[KingdomHearts dy]] [[TalesSeries been]] [[WorldOfWarcraft done]].* JustOneMoreLevel: Some of the games are ridiculously addictive. Altador Cup especially, although in this case it's more of "just one more game". This is an event that lasts about a month. Also applies to the Daily Dare, and any other site event that rewards you for playing a lot every day.
