We eat big, not starving

Don’t you just love it when people tell you to close down when you’ve been at it for years? The virtual pet community has always been, virtual pet list and now since we had a couple outbursts, people believe we should close down. What kind of respect is that? Where is the pride at?

Give VPC the community.

We do not close and thank you for the content! We’ll go back to listening to ballin smashing by Trae’s little son…

We do not play games, we’re hungry for content and we will eat content because well, we’re a content king. Call us the boss, but we’re not the boss. We’re just virtual pet list.com doing what we love to do and do our best at it. Testing us makes us work harder and we strive to be the best.

Virtual pets and real life pets?

We all know that virtual pets are just like real life pets, which means you’re the owner of a pet as it is virtual – which means, you’re in charge of taking care of your virtual pet.

Here’s wikipedia’s definition of Digital pet:

A digital pet (also known as a virtual pet or artificial pet[1]), is a type of artificial human companion. They are usually kept for companionship or enjoyment. People may keep a digital pet in lieu of a real pet.

Digital pets are distinct in that they have no concrete physical form other than the hardware they run on. Interaction with virtual pets may or may not be goal oriented. If it is, then the user must keep it alive as long as possible and often help it to grow into higher forms. Keeping the pet alive and growing often requires ‘feeding’, grooming and playing with the pet. If the interaction is not goal oriented, the user can explore the character of the pet and enjoy the feeling of building a relationship with it. Often these games use realistic visual effects or interaction to make the pet appear alive and give a sense of reality to users.

See what we mean? We have to raise our virtual pets just like our real life pets.

Here’s wikipedia’s definition of “pet”:

A pet is an animal kept for companionship and enjoyment or a household animal, as opposed to livestock, laboratory animals, working animals or sport animals, which are kept for economic reasons. The most popular pets are noted for their loyal or playful characteristics, for their attractive appearance, or for their song. Pets also generally seem to provide their owners with non-trivial health benefits;[1] keeping pets has been shown to help relieve stress to those who like having animals around. There is now a medically-approved class of “therapy animals,” mostly dogs, that are brought to visit confined humans. Walking a dog can provide both the owner and the dog with exercise, fresh air, and social interaction.

See the difference? They’re basically the same thing, but less people take care of virtual pets.

Neopets cheating communities

We all know that Neopets has underground cheating communities – which means, supplying programs to surpass and excel on Neopets, but is it legal or is it illegal? I know Gaming Gutter, Neocodex and Slop dog strived over the years with being a neopets cheating community, but Neocodex recently changed their community around by allowing people to come discuss Neopets without exactly cheating….

Do you cheat? Why do you cheat? Is it fun to cheat Neopets? Lol, I’d do the same if I had the time since they iced me for no reason – and plus, the selling of neopoints and pets are also apart of the underground communities.

Why do you think neopets has so many underground cheating communities?

Virtualpetcommunity cheats the system?

Looks like they do not like when others spam their site and neither do we. Competition is nice, but cheating isn’t.

7. Competitor Sites
We do allow mentioning of other competitor sites; however, we do ask that you do not advertise these competitor sites. Warnings and bans will be given for this rule if broken.

You have been talking about VPL a lot on the community here, more then mentioning it but not blatantly advertising it, so I’ll offer you a warning to stop posting links to VPL.

I don’t mind minor chat about it but posting links, topics, etc. on it is considered a violation of this rule.

Please refrain from this in the future of a temp. ban will be issued.

Thank you for you’re time,

-Avro

Nicely done, Avro, but didn’t Kael just spam us about his virtual pet community?

I remember when Gaming gutter was for sale for Sitepoint. I wanted to buy it and make some major money, but I didn’t have $10,000 to drop on it – so you know what? Screw buying, let’s take him on.

Misticpets and Virtualpetlist.com

Misticpets is owned by two of our great friends, Zara and Shari. We understand hardwork when we see it – and we understand how hard it is to create a pet game – and you know what? Zara and Shari visioned of creating a pet game that could keep people coming back and being able to speak to the owners – which means, uniqueness to the game.

So what happened to Mistic? Well, it was created by Super_james[owner of Ichumon], then it was sold to Impulse Communications – well Impulse saw the potential in Zara, which means, they wanted her to grow the community, however; one day Impulse asked Zara and Shari if they’d like to buy the game – they agreed and now they’re doing what a lot of people wanted to do, but couldn’t do.

So, if you have dreams, be sure to chase them and one day you can be like Zara and Shari!

Here are some pictures from Misticpets.

Does Verpets deserve an apology?

We just talked to “Joe” regarding this whole incident – and the only reason we launched our explosive content on them is because “Bubbles” laughed in our face.

We do not apologize to anyone – but we do throw free publicity their way!

As per request, MSN chat log.

(6:24:03 AM) Joe: well I’m sorry if you feel that way, I don’t think there was any intent behind it
(6:24:13 AM) Joe: she was trying to be light hearted, it’s her way
(6:24:13 AM) Cpvr: There’s no apologies
(6:24:19 AM) Cpvr: In this case
(6:24:21 AM) Cpvr: for the sole fact
(6:24:28 AM) Cpvr: You’re co-owner thought it was funny.

(6:24:52 AM) Cpvr: I dont play childish games
(6:24:53 AM) Joe: yeah that’s great
(6:25:00 AM) Cpvr: I launch attacks on those who laugh at us
(6:25:05 AM) Cpvr: Which, bubbles did.
(6:25:07 AM) Cpvr: Not cool.
(6:25:16 AM) Joe: I apologise on her behalf if you took it so badly
(6:25:20 AM) Cpvr: nah man

(6:25:25 AM) Cpvr: There’s no apologies

(6:25:49 AM) Cpvr: Which, you guys did
(6:26:00 AM) Cpvr: So, basically, I can put you involved on it too
(6:26:07 AM) Cpvr: I’ll be fucking damned if I get laughed on

(6:29:20 AM) Cpvr: Ya.
(6:29:28 AM) Joe: so will you stop targetting ver/me?
(6:29:34 AM) Cpvr: no?
(6:29:38 AM) Joe: no?
(6:29:41 AM) Cpvr: The problem is with Bubbles.
(6:29:49 AM) Cpvr: Thats why I addressed the situation.
(6:29:59 AM) Joe: ok, look, I’m not interested in discussing this anymore
(6:30:03 AM) Joe: you’re just showing yourself up here
(6:30:06 AM) Cpvr: and
(6:30:12 AM) Joe: either you post your apology and we move on
(6:30:18 AM) Cpvr: It’s war.
(6:30:21 AM) Cpvr: Bubbles declared it.

(6:30:28 AM) Joe: no she didn’t
(6:30:31 AM) Cpvr: man
(6:30:32 AM) Joe: no, absolutely not
(6:30:38 AM) Cpvr: Now you want to defend her?
(6:30:43 AM) Cpvr: I dont play childish acts.
(6:30:49 AM) Joe: you’re playing one now
(6:30:57 AM) Cpvr: You guys did.
(6:31:01 AM) Joe: this conversation is over and unless I see a public apology I will take this further
(6:31:02 AM) Cpvr: Also
(6:31:04 AM) Joe: read up on libel
(6:31:15 AM) Cpvr: read about freedom of speech
(6:31:16 AM) Cpvr: :)
(6:31:17 AM) Joe: I will have legal action against you going faster than you can type up your next load of rubbish
(6:31:22 AM) Joe: no, there’s a difference
(6:31:23 AM) Cpvr: My blog is protected

(6:31:43 AM) Joe: libel is trying to lump me in one criminal actions
(6:31:44 AM) Cpvr: go ahead
(6:31:46 AM) Cpvr: call her.
(6:31:51 AM) Joe: I absolutely will if this carries on
(6:31:58 AM) Joe: and furthermore I will post this conversation log
(6:32:01 AM) Joe: we’ll see how that makes you look
(6:32:05 AM) Joe: thanks for your time
(6:32:18 AM) Cpvr: nah

(6:32:44 AM) Cpvr: I dont play games.
(6:32:45 AM) Joe: no you don’t
(6:32:51 AM) Joe: you promised me a full apology
(6:32:58 AM) Joe: i’m still waiting for it

So, our little “parade” for Verpets is simple. Bubbles laughed and we called upon her actions. Now, they expect us to say “I’m sorry?”
Nah.
