Downloading it now...I'm not sure how I feel about this...

[Siouxper]

This makes my computer lag a LOT All the items in the game appear in your inventory and count against your 50 item limit

[Pink]

I can't get the transfer to work. I "transferred" through the website, but nothing will show up in my transfer bag, even after logging out and logging back in.

EDIT:
Er...I think it did work, but the transfer bag never showed anything. The items are in my boxes now, though.

[Daze]

My computer lags with the new game as well.

I was never good at this type of game - I am hopelessly lost in how to build my habitat.

[Pink]

My computer doesn't lag, but this isn't really my kind of game. It's really SimAnt/SimCity-esque...It seems like they put a lot of hard work into it. I think people who like this kind of game will really enjoy it.

[Lee]

I'm pretty indifferent to it. I am getting some lag, but it's really not that bad. It is very Simish and I don't think it's something I could play for a while. If it's out for premium beta testing I'm wondering how early this will debut to all of Neopia.

[Meer]

I'm interested in this, I kinda wish I had premium so I could play around with it. Sounds like its life simulator game kind of like Creatures or (the very old) SimLife? If so I may like it.

[Pink]

Yeah. It very much has a Sim kind of feel to it. If you like those, you'll like this. I, however, do not like Sim, and while it's obvious they have put a lot of work into the game, I'm not very interested in it.

[Ange]

I have some lag, but it could be worse. It reminds me of a really slow sim-type game. I'm still trying to figure it out though, hehe. I'm keeping it open to see if I can get anything interesting to happen.

We've cleared out your Petpetpet Habitats inventory and granted you some great new items to use in the new build.

A couple of notes:


* We may be adding more items to your Petpetpet inventories over the next week or so, so look out for those!
