Neopets Recession or worse, Depression--you decide

Submitted by kermat13 on Mon, 18/01/2010 - 6:23pm
Low shop sales seem to be a common thread right now. So would you say that we are in a recession or depression. Sales seemed to have tanked and no category has been spared. Share your thoughts and what do you think it will take to break the dry spell.

I even lowered a ton of prices last night--thinking it would drive sales--the results were not very noticeable. I could probably just sell the quest books and forget about the other 700 books and do just as good. Books! Reasonable Prices!! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=kermat13&misc

That and scratchcards--sure would be alot less work. Go from over 900 items down to like no more than 200. I'd really like to sell jelly too--had a nice jelly shop at one point. Books! Reasonable Prices!! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=kermat13&misc

Besides just the number of people online decreasing every year think about what time period we are in. It's the time where kids are going back to school and I would say a majority of the users on Neopets are in some sort of schooling so of course that has something to do with it. One thing I would love to see though is number of new players vs. old players leaving. http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=evilbluemunkeyz

Well, take the sales from any mall. I would guess over 50% are from 3 week old accounts or less. I'm thinking the newbs are there, they are just overwhelmed by how much there is to learn about neopia and they give up. Also, if I hadn't upgraded my internet, I wouldn't be able to play at all on dial-up. I REALLY think the main reasons are overwhelmed newbs who quit before even getting started good, and dial-up users having to quit because nothing will load.
