Does anyone have "Neopets revival" on their 2024 bingo card?

cross-posted from: programming.dev/post/12852381

With efforts to resuscitate Neopets ramping up, monthly users have nearly tripled to 300,000 in the past six months, and the company is on track to be profitable by the end of 2024, [current Neopets Team CEO] Law said.

Also notable:

Law said that rather than cracking down on fan-created components, the company is embracing them. It launched a “Neopass” login system that allows users to access games across the Neopets system, including third-party and fan-made games.

My wife occasionally jumps back on, and it’s always interesting to see how little it’s changed.

Zahille7,

I like it. Like a time capsule for the internet.

jsomae,

Article mentions the death of flash was a nail in Neopets’ coffin, but they don’t mention the open source Ruffle project which resuscitated Neopets’ flash content.

Cool, I still have my pw but haven't been there in years. Will go and feed my immortal pets.

jsomae,

I had it on my bingo card for 20 years and just took it off :(

caseyweederman,

We’re getting a Magi Nation revival too. It’s a good year.
