Lesson of the day? Don't get attached to virtual pets that live on someone else's servers. It feels a bit like someone snuck in and replaced Spike and Squish with badly-made poseable plastic dolls while I was sleeping. And then expected me to be pleased about it.

And the lupe is getting more and more catlike with each change...

There's this, from the News page: "We would also like to mention that if you aren't happy with the change to any of your Neopets, don't go hunting for a morphing potion just yet! You may find justice early next week. ;)"
I am really hoping that means we may yet have the option to revert to the old artwork. It's still on the servers. Because if not, I don't see myself staying. I can't look at those ghastly caricatures every day.

It's really unfair.
They should make a few poses perhaps that one can choose from for their pet's specific coloring to represent, but I -hate- how they do things like this.
And I dont' even get what that little message means...it's not april fools or anything, what are they even doing? Ohhhhh, Neopets.

Also, do you remember the little personality quirks they asked for when you create a pet? Those are now displayed on the pet lookup - BUT they are all the same. "Captain_Snarkwing likes gathering food.
When meeting others, Captain_Snarkwing would act very friendly."
When I created him he liked hunting (I think) and taunting others from a distance. Hate, hate, hate, hate.
(I just realised that I don't even know your Neo username. Or did you tell me and I'm so upset it's gone out of my mind?)

I created my pets forever ago, so I didn't get to choose the personality things for them, I wonder if that is an option now...
My username is piratescrap, I dont' think I ever told you before. I'll have to get on there and add you as a neofriend (if that's still what they are called.)
I feel so disconnected from the Neoworld, I used to be consumed...it's a black void!

My kougra looks ridiculous!!
I may have to get consumed by Neopets instead of Sims Pets on my two week break from school, tough call.

To be fair to TNT, I approve of the changes generally, except for the changes to the pets themselves. They've stripped all the life, grace and character from them. It makes me wince to look at them now, and I loved them so.

They want to turn my beautifugly, egomaniac world-ruler-to-be mutant Hissi:

I always loved Desert Kaus - also, one of the few pets that hasn't been transformed into a loathsome travesty of itself. Lucky Minnata.
I never got a lab map for my main account because I already had them all the way I wanted them. My poor Grarrls on my side account, though - they look like balloon animals now. And one of them is missing his mouth.
I can quite easily see myself leaving neo over this, and just keeping my pets alive in their true incarnations over at my Neopets RP community... that's where they really live. They're a bit too inclined to behave in ways unsuitable for the Neopets site itself.

The site updates were extremely inconsiderate and not for the best.
