I think neopets is about 12 times better than tamagotchi.
No offense, but I think Tamagotchis are way, way, better than Neopets.
The reasons I don't like it:
1. WAAAAAY too many people. I like smaller sites where you can find your friends easily, like AMZ. And TamaTalk :furawatchi: .
2. Too merchandised. It would've been better without all the playstation games, magazines, trading cards, plushies, etc, etc.
3. It gets boring. Really boring. There are tons of games, I know, but not a lot of them are all that stimulating.
4. There aren't any exciting, fun updates. They said they'd have a virtual school up and running. How long has it been... a year? Two years? Now it's all "new caption contest, new pet spotlight winner, new cave of the month, new plushies at the Market..."
It used to be OK, when there were only a few thousand people.
