Neopets Recession or worse, Depression--you decide
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.

Double post on purpose. My theory is, we have had one giveaway after another--so who needs to buy anything 51 planet whatever, advent calendar, games challenge, the neopies, neopets birthday, ednas spooky surprise and who knows what I overlooked. With all that stuff given away, it has given enough stuff away that no one really needs/wants to buy things now. Books! Reasonable Prices!! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=kermat13&misc

I also tend to think that Neopets has gotten too large. I know if I didn't have someone guide me when I was new I wouldn't have tried to figure it out. Books! Reasonable Prices!! http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=kermat13&misc

Ok I have been wondering this for awhile - kinda related to the topic, more to Dmitri's post - do you guys ever think they will shut down Neopets? I mean, with the NC Mall I feel like it's given them more incentive to keep it open. But I worry b/c (yes as silly as it sounds), this is my #1 hobby. I would be SO upset if it closed. I just feel like Neopets is just not as popular as it used to be...and those stats Dmitri just posted, as well as our sales, shows it...

[center] I think it's all lack of members on the site, because as dmitri said... over the years the "neopian population" is deflating which makes sales deflate .. but you'd think.. would items be more expensive? Edition: Also, does anyone have the need to take breaks.. because of the boringness + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Shop Size Goal : 650 Current Size: 237 Help me? : http://www.neopets.com/browseshop.phtml?owner=obsolete_soldier [/center]

Litrell, can you you imagine how pissed people who pay for Premium and those who have dumped a couple grand into the NC mall would be if neo closed. o-o Scary thought though We weren't born to follow ♥

It's going to be a slow and painful death. Thank you Viacom for ruining Neopets!!! ____________________________________ Looking for a new mall? The Lucky Mega Mall is the answer!
