Trivia

  • Mr. Insane looks remarkably like The Architect (Matrix).
  • "Live in your world, Get eaten by a vampire bearog in mine". There are no vampire bearogs in NeoQuest II (or NeoQuest, for that matter).
  • "Live in your world, Get eaten by a vampire bearog in mine". Or was it "Live in your world, play in ours" (PS2 slogan).
  • NeoQuest II Characters are named after characters on an EverQuest Test Server. To quote Mr. Insane's shop: "Rohane was named after my level 60 Halfling rogue on Test Server in EverQuest. Mipsy, Talinia, and Velm were fellow members of my guild -- Balance -- on that server."
  • In Neoquest II all of the neopets that are married (!) and have kids (!!) that are different species (!!!). An acara and a wocky can have a child that's a cybunny? Huh?

There are quite a lot of incoherences in the game:

  • Mipsy's red robe appears in the Terror Mountain, Lost Desert (background) and Haunted Woods cut scenes. In the game, however, she has no such robe (dressing up for the occasion, huh?).
  • Velm, like Mipsy, has a fancy outfit in the third cut scene we don't see in the game itself.
  • "I wish I didn't need these stupid shoes." Mipsy says that throughout the whole game, but does not have any shoes untill very close to the end of the game.
  • Rohane says "We emerge victorious!" regardless of whether there's really a "we" or not.
  • The Circuit Boards: in Act 1, the circuit board tiles periodically appear. They're clues that indicate that the game is actually a simulation inside a spaceship.
  • "En taro adun!" It seems that the phrase for Phorofor "ad ro un ta en" is made up of syllables from "En taro adun", which happens to be from the Protoss race in Starcraft.

The lost city of Phorofor: Phorofor sounds a bit like 404 (which is the HTTP error code for "not found").

  • Buildings in the centre of Phorofor form the letter P.
  • Chiaoscuro is spelled remarkably like chiarocuro, a technique of using light and dark in a work of art.

It can also be translated from italian as Dark Chia. Alternatively, in The Tale of Despereaux, a rather lonely rat is named Chiaroscuro.

  • The Chias in Chiaoscuro don't actually "talk" -- they spew out random letters that repalce the actual letters in the words.
  • Cave Scorpions lack the defining feature of a scorpion: a "tail tipped with a venomous sting".
  • Who is Candar?: No, really, who is he?
  • Scuzzy is the widest-spread pronounciation of SCSI (Small Computer System Interface).
  • The Royal Bedchambers: Neopets refuses to aknowledge that there's no way to get in there.
  • Selasa's words "I fell victim to one of the classic blunders, right after the ones about land wars in Tyrannia and going in against Skeiths when death is on the line--never buy land in the desert." are a reference to Vizzini's dialog in the Princess Bride: "You fell victim to one of the classic blunders. The most famous is: "Never get involved in a land war in Asia." But, only slightly less well known is this: "Never go in against a Sicilian, when death is on the line!""
  • The hermit's password, Alpha-three-seven-tango-echo-nine, translates to A37TE9 (phonetic alphabet).
  • Anubits serves both as a reference to Anubis, the egyption god, and bit, 1/8th of a byte (a single 0-or-1 switch).
  • Zakharukh's Pyramid, Level 1 was changed after the game was released. There used to be a shortcut in the south-west corner of the middle maze, so you could skip the long hall at the south side.
  • "The next time something bites me, it's going to get set on fire" -- apparently, the Enormous grundocerous bites, and is also on fire. Go Mipsy!
  • Nox's Tower: Various tiles (pillars / walls / boxes) on the 9 maps of Nox's Tower spell HUBRID NOX (one letter per level, without the space).
  • Vilaria, a dark faerie, says that she's not evil, but more chaotic neutral. The D&D alignment system, giving in short your moral and ethical outlook in there, consists of two axises: Good vs Evil, and Chaotic vs Lawful, with neutral being in between with both. Chaotic Neutral is, indeed, the alignment of rebels, those not following rules and who are neither good nor evil.
  • Cumulonimbus is a type of cloud, associated with heavy rains, thunderstorms, or hailstorms.
  • Cirrus is another type of cloud, composed of narrow bands or patches of thin, generally white, fleecy parts.
  • The Faerie Thief falls through a hole in the clouds... in a city. No clouds in sight :).
  • Faerie Palace, Level 1 has a very high number of staircases leading up, but there's only one downward staircase on level two.
  • Terask's name is somewhat similar to Tarrasque (well, minus the fancy spelling), a powerful monster in Dungeons and Dragons.
  • In the ending, The crews' uniforms bear a very striking resemblance to the ones from the original star trek, while the mysterious green skinned figure could have been part of Neopets' way of introducing the Return-of-Doctor-Sloth plot?
