* The Pound is a place where you can go to abandon a pet if you don't want it anymore. Going to the adoption section of the Pound shows all the ownerless pets--the vast majority of them with basic colors and misspelled names with underscores and numbers--looking sad and dejected. There's no way to tell exactly how long a pet has been in the Pound, but if you look at how old they are after adopting them, it's a safe bet that a lot of them have been in there for many years, possibly even decades.

* Really thinking about what happened to Old Maraqua. It wasn't an InferredHolocaust -- it was an ''explicit'' holocaust. [[https://www.neopets.com/pirates/excavation.phtml As this news report states]], they tried sending in rescue teams, ''but there was nobody left to rescue''. Nearly everything was destroyed. All hope of finding survivors had been given up. And just in case it didn't sink into the playerbase enough, [[PlayerPunch it takes care to linger on who the players actually interacted with]] -- the shops, all but confirming that the shopkeepers were among the dead. Not to mention that two species of Neopet were nearly wiped out; the Koi and Jetsam population never recovered, becoming Limited Edition from that point on.
