The PETSP (People for the ethical treatment of Subeta Pets) have lobbied for days that various area's of the site require that your pets be fed and happy. Remember that the Lakeview Resort is always open and ready to take pets who's owners can't handle the task of feeding/playing with them. :)

all I can say is BOO!!!<br />
<br />
One of the things I enjoyed about this site was NOT having to feed/play with my pets. I do that on other sites, or else lock my acct to keep from having to do that.<br />
<br />
I'm very disappointed in Subeta for making this change without any discussion or polls.

It isn't -hard- to put pets in the resort, of course, but it can get expensive. Every two weeks, I put all ten of my pets into the resort at the Basic level - as cheap as I can get it, for as long as I can get it. That would be about 14,000sP each two-week period. 28,000sP in four weeks. 42,000sP in six weeks. You get the idea.<br />
<br />
Which is okay with me, I guess, but that's because I feel obligated somehow to keep my pets fed and happy. They're all characters I've created, and they're very real to me... not real in the way my three cats, rabbit, and dwarf hamster are real, but real in the way that they're very special to me and I'm very proud of them.<br />
<br />
Anyhow... I guess I can't expect to change anyone's mind, but I'll try to express my opinion on this one. I think that it ought to be a choice, whether a person feeds and cares for their pets or doesn't. I can't explain why I think so, but... well... the pets are pixels. Is it honestly hurting much if there's a Demi-shaped cluster of pixels somewhere starving and their owner hasn't spent 10k or so feeding them more pixels? I just think this site is what individuals make of it, not what the staff want it to be. For me, yeah, it's a petsite, and my pets are important to me, almost alive in their own sense. (I hope that doesn't sound as childish and as stupid to you people as it does to me in my head.) But for other people, it's a place where they can get away from the stress of responsibility, or create characters and write stories, or sMail with friends, or whatever. And there shouldn't be any of this... obligatory pet-care stuff, and spraypaint on human avatars. Which, by the way... if I somehow ended up with spraypaint on my human avatar and some sign above it saying I don't feed my pets, I would be absolutely mortified. I already feel I'm constantly being judged and have... paranoia issues, so I don't really need such things hanging over my head (er, literally o_o).<br />
<br />

Why's everybody so cranky? Get over it. I never feed or play with my pets, but even I know that it's not that hard putting them in the damn resort.

tfsr, it seems that for some users pets don't get hungry/sad at all. I left subeta for over a year before and when I came back my pet was fed and happy. But for the ones that get hungry properly, yes, they get hungry as often as several times a day and require long feeding/playing sessions.

Uh, well.<br />
I've paid my pets no attention for at least a month, but I still have wardrobe access, and they're all "Not Hungry". <br />
<br />
So, I guess I've no problem with it?<br />
(Also, I'm not really a wardrobe addict, either, so I suppose it's not really that huge of a deal to me.)<br />
<br />
But I like the idea, to a certain extent.<br />
It is a <strong>pet</strong>site, after all. <br />
And those of you complaining that we should use that time to feed our "real life" pets, that's essentially the lamest excuse ever. If you honestly think you could use that time to feed your real life pet, and there is <i>no other time</i> you could feed your real-life Sparky or Rex or whatever other than the five minutes it takes to feed these online things, then you spend way too much time in front of your computer.

Blah. I take care of my real-world pets, why should I have to take care of the ones online, too? That's not why I come to play. If I want to feed a pet daily I go feed my cat upstairs or my dogs when they scratch at the food container.

im here to play. and now i will play "care for your pet". this is just another aspect of playing, not "childish". btw i got much fun chosing food for my pets, even if i most likely will always throw them into the resort. and hell did i laugh about the "painted" HAs! though i have to agree that "petsp" had to cry more about expereiment pets and the pet-fur/sepparated body parts/food made out of pets. what about "I DIDNT FEED MY PET EXEPT WITH OTHER PETS CRUELY KILLED"?

Well, Cyn, I was going by what the site owner has been saying. I've seen him say that it's not a pet site many times. I can't help it if the official definition of the site changes to favor every new implemented feature. <br /><br /><b>Quote:</b><blockquote style="padding:5px; line-height:15px; background-color: #FAFFFF; border: 1px solid #000000; font-family: georgia; font-size: 10;">Really, atleast you'll never be confronted with the possibility of -losing- them, no matter how scarcely they are cared for. </blockquote><br />
YET. I never thought I'd be forced to feed and play with my pet just to access features on a seemingly laid-back and mature site, but here we are.

I know this is a pet site and that we are to take great care of them as we would our real pets, but my only problem is when playing with them, that item disappears. Could you fix that, maybe? I mean some of the items they can play with are expensive, to those that aren't, but they shouldn't disappear. When we play fetch with our dogs, that toy just don't up and disappear, we keep throwing it, LOL.

Subeta IS!!!!!!!!!!!! a pet site it hasn't always had the avies i was here fro years with out them i think adding them has made people forget about there pets. having your avy spraypainted is a little overdoing it though. just a smige. I think that when your pet is starving or like magerly unhappy you should get like a random event tip of thing with your pet and in a bubble say feed me or play with me.

I saw an HA with a bunch of red 'paint' splashed all over it, and a sign above it that says "I DON'T FEED MY PETS" ... this was hilarious. But I really don't like being punished for not feeding or playing with. Perhaps you can readjust the rates of the emotions and hunger are at. They go down so fast, perhaps if you slowed it down just a bit... just a bit... It's so hard to keep up with 10 pets and you're not home all the time.

I don't like it. T.T I tried to get to my wardrobe when Sumora, one of my pets, was unhappy but full. I got spray-painted. And it didn't leave until five or six hours later, I think. Good for the PETSP for lobbying, but could you just say "You can't go there because..." Spray painting someone is a rather annoying and insulting way to get the point across.

I... don't like this idea at all. I think this should have been voted on with a poll.<br />

But I'm not going to complain and make a big deal out of it. It isn't a big deal. It's just annoying.

I just don't have the SP to spend on food and toys, I only come for the HA and the pet colors. <br />
Seriously, all of the items in my wardrobe, even the ones I'm not wearing added all up together would probably be over 20 or so mil, not that much to some people, but it is to me. Hell, after buying my serpent I'm having a hard time recovering from the loss of sp. <br />
I don't know if this is a you need to feed your pet thing right now, because it has been hungry for a few days or like...as soon as it gets hungry or whatever you can't get to the wardrobe. Honestly I haven't fed my pets since I've joined, i haven't seen a real reason to. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/smiley_sadface.gif" border="0" />Its not like they die or run away or whatever, they are just pixels.

I don't feed my pets that often I just throw them into the hotel, feeding regularly and the normal way is too tedious for my tastes and I'm rather impatient. <br />
<br />
Besides feeding them isen't realy much fun and besides filling there bellys theres no advantage to it. I think if there was some sort of reward for feeding by hand or feeding more regularly I may feed them more.

This all just cracks me up....but one suggestion I would love to see implemented is that you can send all your pets to the resort all at once, instead of individually, oh I guess another one along the same lines of the resort is that it be for longer periods of time.<br />
A suggestion that I also have along with putting them in all at the same time is a group rate..Ranging from groups of two to 12 ...I know some people have more than 10.<br />
Seems it would save on the repetivness of steps if you had more than two or more pets. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

hmm I spotted an HA that was all red with embarrassment and had a banner over head saying that the user hadn't fed their pet, is that from this thing or is that a HA item?<br />
<br />
I thought it was pretty funny to see personally, I scarecly play the minion feeding game but when I do and I am too slow and miss the bubble my item of food would have fed, I give it to one of my pets, Both my pets are named after nicknames of a close friend of mine so I always try to keep them both happy and well fed, it really isn't that hard to do and they are laping it up in the inn thingy.

Anothing thing as well, everyone should be thankful that the neglection of your Subeta pets only rescricts access to certain -pages-..it could be far worse, I know that on Kenopets your animals will -run away- if left unattended . .' Really, atleast you'll never be confronted with the possibility of -losing- them, no matter how scarcely they are cared for.

<br />
In real life, my dogs tend to get overzealous with a new toy, and many times after the first time they play with it, it is missing pieces. Maybe I buy cheap toys, but anyways... still, gone after one play.<br />
<br />
Also, it is a way to have toys keep their value. If you had a ball, and could play with it over and over and over, you wouldn't buy another ball, would you? So once everyone has a ball, it would become a totally worthless item. <br />
<br />
If Keith wanted to make it interesting/more realistic, he could add a chance that the toy would survive... but I seriously don't see the point.<br />
<br />
Plus, if you are feeling lazy, there is always the lodge. Put them all in at basic, or one as I have heard it is active pet, and in a few hours they are very bloated and happy.<br />
<br />
Note to those who are complaining this isn't instantaneous: Again, in real life, if you are depressed and starving to death, are you instantly very happy and bloated when you enter a hotel? I doubt it.<br />

I like how this has made actually taking care of your pets more important on the site. After all, Subeta isn't just an avatar site or a millionaire fantasy life site, it's first and foremost a pet site and lots of people have forgotten that while saving up for hot HA items or trying to breach 50 mil Sp.<br />
<br />
And it isn't that expensive to feed and entertain your pets. Put them in the resort for one day a week on the 100 Sp a day package. For 10 pets, that's only 1k a week. From there, you can use some of the cheap toys and foods you have rotting in your shops or forgotten in your vaults. This shouldn't be a biggie for people with 10 pages of stuff in their vaults since at least half of it must be food and/or toys. Some people are making a bigger deal of this than it is. So you have to feed your pets now and it'll take a bit longer to save for X HA item. Oooh, sad...

I'd love the idea of being able to put them all in the inn instead of one by one, saves on lag... but seriously ppl, wow, how old is everyone? So you have to feed them now, the world is going to end! What is the big deal? It 'is' a petsite, lo and behold, look, digital pets sitting right there, pixals and all. Be thankful they don't get sick with cures that you can't buy because of markups in usershops.

I can no longer sit here and say nothing about this.<br />
As an active member of PETA I take offense to this.. Not ALL members of peta act that way.. I for one would NEVER throw paint on someone just cause they wore fur or didn't feed their pet.<br />
Going by the new subeta pet standard then wouldn't it be fair to throw red paint on HA that wear fur like the kumos fur etc..??<br />
Also I think that people should have the option to put their pets in the lodge for more then just 14 days (heck even neo gives the option of 28 days) due to people whom have certain circumstances like jobs or sickness or whatever the case is where they are unable to get online for a month or so (example would be Debilee).<br />
I like the fact that the focus is brought back to the pets on the site but still it needs to be fair to everyone.

Well you know what? None of us would have a problem with it I'm sure if this was a feature implemented in the beginning. At least then we could have chosen if we wanted to stay at such a site without losing too much. I've been here for over a year, it will be 2 years in a few months, so I have too much invested to just leave. Also, my pets, I have had most of them since my first few months on here, and have gotten them the way I like them both physically and personality-wise. I'm not going to throw them in the pound because I hate this feature, and I'm not going to "get over it." <br /><br />This is just a baby's feature really.. I thought this site was more mature than to force us to feed fake pets as if they were real. Sorry, I grew out of that phase soon after joining Neopets 7 years ago. You have to laugh at the irony: we can talk about how items on this site resemble phalluses, but we must pretend like children that our pixels are real pets that need constant attention. Meh, I just don't like where this is heading...

I think the whining and complaining about it is utterly amusing myself, if you didnt want to have to deal with a pixel pet then you shouldnt have created one, pretty simple logic there lol. Anyhow I agree I think its a great rule, and I like that focus is being brought to the pets because they seemed to slip into the shadows of wearables.

This is nice in a way, it does bring the focus back to your pets, which is kind of the main reason for the site. It seems that Human Avatars took over, I know it did for me.... guilty as charged here. But what I don't understand about one aspect of the pets is why when you play with your pets using a toy item, that item is gone. I know in real life if I play with a toy it doesn't go poof. I would love to see that changed and I am sure others would as well, the item should stay in your inventory so you can keep playing with it.

So how come on the first screen bronze costs 250 per day, but on the second pages you get charged 350 a day?

ALL of my pets are in the resort...but when I look them up, several are still famished or starving. The food must be terrible there. LOL

I dunno about anyone else but lately I've found it extremely hard to keep my pets happy. I play with them loads but it takes several tries to even make them from depressed to just bored. Then when I finally get them contented, I come on the next day and they're depressed again. I don't get it so I gave up with them until its fixed.

Nnngh, I enjoyed not needing to worry about feeding. Using items causes lag for me, and it can take over fifteen minutes to feed all 10 of my pets once each.

I keep my pets in the lodge because of my medical problems (MS) keeping me in and out all the time. For those of us with medical issues the lodge is a must. I try to be here as much as I can but there are times that I can't because of hospital stays, internet outages, ect. Using the lodge doesn't mean that we don't care what happens to our pets. The lodge is used for different reasons. I'm thankful the lodge is an option because I know my pets are being cared for on days that I can't be here. I'm okay with the new changes because I enjoy working with my pets and doing quests here <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />.

I don't mind this change, seeing as I... don't really care about this site as much as I used to? Haha. I do agree that certain foods should have certain filling values, and that since this rule has been implemented, toys need to be able to be used more than once.<br />

I think that different food items should satiate your pet's hunger to different levels. Like, if you feed it a pie, it would be more full than if you fed it a candy.<br />
<br />
I also think that your HA should have hunger or something.<br />
I'unno, it would make it more interesting than just standing there looking nice.

Hrm. I wouldn't mind keeping my pets fed and happy if I didn't lag horribly every time I click an item in my inventory... Also, would it be possible to reduce the steps on the resort (wondering if that's one of the changes you mentioned)? Again, a lag issue. It takes forever to submit requests = I definitely like the idea of needing to keep your pets happy, but it's rather frustrating when it takes so long.

And I am very pleased to see a site where not feeding your pets has a consequence (but not to the extent of actually losing your pet).

Interesting... I kinda like it. :3 It'll make food and toys sell more. Also they ARE pets and this IS a pet site so it makes sense that we should keep them fed and happy, not let them rot and be colored, named trophies.<br />
This might be a pain to people that have a lot of pets, but I have 10 but I don't mind this at all.<br />
At least now I have another reason to keep my pets happy on subeta so that people won't annoy me with 'Oh they're just pixels, you're being stupid and wasting sP'. :3<br />
I've never seen something like this on a pet site before, so that's what really interests me. :3<br />

I guess I'm just a sucker, but I've always used the resort. I rather fancy it, helps me keep up on my pets joy/tummies.<br />
I'm not going through every post to see if this has been said, but many moons ago-when the hunger glitch had not yet been repaired-there was talk that starving/depressed pets would be grounds for either minions being eaten or loss of special coloring. (a much worse fate to someone who's paid high sP for either feature)<br />
If all it is now is denied access to certain areas of the site until you feed/play with your pets...what's the harm?<br />
I say, good for you, Keith! I always knew this site and it's staff had a conscience. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> (don't worry, I won't tell anyone!) XD

I disowned the pet the DAY the Lain species came out. He's not mine, and I can't access go to my wardrobe because he's hungry. He's not mine, and he shouldn't be my problem anymore.<br />
When can we expect this to be fixed? 'Cuz the wardrobe is something I use almost every day.

This is annoying in the extreme. It wouldn't bug me if putting the pets in the resort were easier, instead of requiring 3 slow-loading screens per pet (=30 slow-loading screens every 2 weeks). If there were a fast, easy way to put the pets in the lodge, then it wouldn't be so annoying.

hmm anyhow, it's not expensive at all to let them stay at the resort for a while. And this should teach people that you get the benefits (going certain places)from you pet's happiness. fun!

Cheh, I'm sure some of you (Keith) are expecting me to be ranting and raving about this change but to be honest it doesn't concern me. I try to keep on top of my babies happiness/hunger levels, I hardly ever restock, I rarely ever change my avatar.<br />
<br />
As for putting the <i>pet</i> back in <i>pet</i>site, I think it's the right way to go. I mean, come on, doesn't it make just a hint of sense doesn't it? When Subeta started it wasn't another Gaia. <br />
<br />
However, I'm getting a little tired of going back and fourth between petsite and "online community." Keith, I hope this decision means you're leaning more towards Petsite. If not, pick one already. XP You're driving the populace crazy.

I have always kept my Pets fed and happy on Subeta...I guess I thought everyone did, as it was never that hard to begin with.<br />
<br />
What -does- bother me is that I see food prices increasing even more now, as the Minion Feeding alone has already made Rarity 60+ items (many at nearly a million sP) far too overpriced for Pete's Quests.<br />
<br />
I would like to see Questing kept at an even par with restocking...as many prefer one over the other. Pete's Quests -used- to one of the best, and that is not the case now with many foods reaching astronomical prices in relation to their rarity.

I think what some people are missing is that (for now at least) it is only your active pet that needs to be happy and fed for you to fully access the site and all its features. If you have 15 pets and you want to let the other 14 starve then so be it. All that Keith and staff are asking is that you keep 1...that's right ONE...pet happy and fed. Not too terribly difficult as it will cost you 100 sP per day to chuck that one pet in the resort with no extra options. Really...if you can't afford 100sP per day then there isn't a whole lot you can do on the site anyhow.

A lot of members often just toss their pets a minion and fill up their treasure, get them colored all spiffy, and then never spare them a second glance. They're like trophies sometimes...<br />
<br />
This kindof makes you pay attention to your pets, even if it is just taking a few minutes out of your time to put them in the resort. I always thought, y'know.. the /pets/ were the point of a /pet/ site.

Hey I'm cool with this idea. For people who complain about it, there's two options for you:<br />
<br />
1) Get rid of or cut down on your pets so you don't have to feed them.<br />

2) FEED THEM.<br />

Seems pretty simple to me.

No offense, really, but if you don't want to have to feed your pets then don't have any. O---x It just makes sense, anyway. You're saying pets are pushed in your face? Inconvenient now? I'm just saying, they weren't pushed in your face, or anything because you adopted them. You put them in your own business. xP I don't want to have to remember to feed them, but I still think it's a good idea to get pets reincorperated into the site, and everything tied together. x)

Nightflame - that's because whoever is in charge can't seem to make up their mind about what Subeta actually is. It goes from petsite (whenever it needs to appeal to Neopets' demographic) to a community site (to appeal to Gaia's) to whatever else randomly. That's why people who came here for the avatars are going to be annoyed when pets get shoved in their face, and ones that are here for the pets will be annoyed when the pets are neglected.

The fact that you have to feed and play with your pet, as more humane to PIXELS as that is, it's utter crap. Other sites show when you've been a horrible owner and paste you to public ridicule when they see it on your pets profiles. This site restricts access to simple places? Wouldn't it make more sense to stop places that actually have to do with pets?<br />
<br />
It can get ungodly pricey after a while, not to mention the price of food may freak the hell out.<br />
<br />
But there are god sides. It brings the focus back to the word PET SITE. It's a great idea, but you need a more stable feeding system. I stopped feeding them, when they wouldn't get full, and wouldn't stay happy. Maybe you should make it so toys don't vanish after a single use. Really wasteful.<br />
<br />
The whole idea of items should be revised. Toys shouldn't vanish, certain food should be able to be eaten more then once. It's a good idea, but it doesn't seem like someone thought ahead when planning it.<br />
<br />
I'm all for it, as long as I can feed my pets once every DAY and not have to once every HOUR.

I know this is a petsite, but like, it's always been more about the community? I DUNNO'. I'm rambling. And I realize this isn't a big deal.<br />
<br />
Murp, those are just my two cents on this matter | D

I usually feed and play with my pets once a day, and they stay bloated and very happy. But today they are 'happy,' 'unhappy,' and 'unhungry' every time I look at them. COME ON. Feeding them once a day is fun, feeding them once an hour is not.

You know, people would actually consider playing with and feeding their pets if there was a cheap, easy option that would make it easier for your pets. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" /> Neopets has a Merry-go-round that makes your pet happy, so Subeta should put Pina Park to use. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

There should be something that tells you which pets you have in the resort and how much longer they are in there! And fewer steps! DX The resort is rather annoying...

The fact that you complain about feeding pixels is almost as funny as complaining about not being able to dress up pixels- in the same post. Hillarious stuff. xD

I would love an "all pets" option at the resort. I ususally keep my pets in there because I find feeding them tedious. It cost me 14,000sp though which is a lot for new people. Keith mentioned something the other day about people not using food to feed their pets (when the vending machine prices went up) so I'm not surprised this step has been implemented.<br />
I used to keep my pets fed on Neo because of the threat they could change colour to blue if you didnt.

Anywho, I don't really see why people are blowing blood vessels over this since it appears to only apply to the active pet. But then again, it doesn't affect me in the least since I never modify my wardrobe anyway. My pets will continue to be malnourished and I will be just as satisfied with my Subetian experience as I was before this feature was implemented.<br />

Just thought I'd point something out: It is NOT too expensive or time consuming to put your pets in the resort. I just put all 11 of my pets in for 14 days at 100 sp per day, and it cost me a total of 15,400 sp. 15k is chump change and, really, extremely cheap consider that's a payment that need to be made only every two weeks. And as for time, it took me less than 5 minutes, which really isn't too long.

huh. thats a different idea. HEY. I have an idea. How about, if we try to acess a page of the site without feeding our pets angry PETSP like, do something to our HA? Like, tape an "animal hater" sign to their forheads lol. That'd be funny.

I wish you could just shove them all in there permanently (until they're taken out for example). To be honest the resort is a bit of a bother to use since you have to click three thousand times for each pet and they only stay in for 2 weeks.

....o.o; saddly I have to take the side of the peoples who don't like this. I know the fairs aren't expensive but they can be for users with very little sP and alot of pets. And for users who don't get much of a chance to come online.

I really think all the arguments need to be taken to PMs and left out of the comments. Get over it. It's a feature that has been implemented, and I doubt it will affect your sP collections in a drastic way that necessitates whining and complaining and fighting with other users. So you don't like it. Hey, that's life. I repeat - Get over it.

The fact that I can't go to my WARDROBE until I feed my pixels is retarded, at best.

I don't mind feeding and playing with my pets. I keep them bloated and very happy anyway. But so far today my pets don't seem to be staying bloated and very happy for long. I feed my one pet to bloated about 3 hours ago and now she's back to unhungry. Please tell me I not going to have to keep feeding my pets constantly through out the day. At this rate they will be starving by the time I wake up in the morning even if they were maxed before I signed off for the night.

Great <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> I have a very bizzy real life and feeding all my pets all the time is a lot of work. (It was easier when I had only one pet <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> ) So I always use the resort.

also, i don't think there should be an all pets at once option for the resort...i think you should be able to put them in 1 at a time, 3 at a time, or 5 at a time, just as an example. don't outright encourage the laziness of the players who chose to have 5 to 10 to 15 pets.

jeez, i thought people here were supposed to be generally older and more mature? i was told that and that was half the reason i joined. i got tired of the whiny 7 year olds and the overwhelming kid themes at neopets, so i came here believing people here were generally 18+ or at least 16+ (knowing there'd be younger people too, i'm not stupid), and this is how all of you people act?<br />
<br />
i always have tried to care for my online pets, i keep a close eye on them and try to keep them fed and happy. here its much easier than it ever was on neopets, and it was very frustrating there because all your hard work would be gone after a day or two (They'd be starving and dying and depressed again, ugh) and if i wanted to put THAT much work into a pet, i'd have real pets. and i do. i have five cats that i love and adore and feed and play with all day long, but i don't have to do nearly as much with my real pets as i did on neopets, so to speak (its just clicking, but if you thought of it as real actions, its way more than i need to do with my real pets). i never had to do ANYTHING to my pets here on subeta to keep them happy and healthy at least during my first month. i had been wondering just when the hell they would start getting hungry XD and even though the toys currently disappear, its still so much easier to care for your pets here. earning money is so easy, i mean jeez, subeta even has the Random game that gives you sP or even a toy for FREE, no work required! you'll never be too poor to care for your pets here, and if you can't spare mere pocket change to take care of them every once in a while, then don't have pets!<br />
<br />
personally, i like the idea of consequences. in some ways i think you should get some sort of reward, too! i think it would be awesome to have a lil badge or something for your profile to show that you're a PETS all star or PETSP preferred player or something like that. if you had something like that, and maybe had prizes involved, people would probably whine less about having to take care of their pets. make a playground or some other special places you can take your pets and hang out. maybe make an interactive resort! users could go in with their pets and do stuff like play at the pool/lake/beach, play various games, eat together, take naps together, get spa treatment together, the works, man! and something that would be really awesome is to be able to interact with other players and their pets, like say you want to play volleyball, it can be you and your pet against someone else and their pet. i don't know if you guys could do that, but its a suggestion <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" /> and when you check out of the interactive resort, you could get a prize if you were super awesome. but...if you wanted to keep it strictly a "you want pets, you take care of them" thing, then maybe no reward for taking care of your pets would be best. after all, most people don't get rewarded for taking care of their real life pets, except by having a happy, healthy pet that isn't dead XD<br />
<br />
i don't think the resort time should be increased to one month. two weeks is plenty of time. if you're going on vacation for longer than two weeks, its as simple and throwing them back in the resort when you get home (if they're hungry/depressed) and within a day or so they'll be fine again. it's NOT that big of a deal to do your CLICKING every two weeks or so. it takes a couple minutes, five or so at the most if you have a lot of pets, and really, you spend hours playing games, wardrobing, collecting items, questing, whathaveyou, and its too much hassle to do a few extra clicks to put your pets in the resort? certainly not a reflection on how you treat your real life pets, but dang, are you THAT lazy? i DO, however, wish you could tell who's in the resort or not. whether by a list on the resort page, or an icon on the pet information page next to the pets (an icon if they're in, nothing at all if they're not)<br />
<br />
the one thing i do miss about neopets, is that you were closer to your pets somehow. you could hardly do anything without your pet with you. they expressed emotion, pain, happiness, everything. the pets here on subeta are a bit too realistic and pretty and complicated to do the same amount of expressions neopets did, but i wonder if the artists are willing to try? they've already done an amazing job making differences between common and angelic and the other special ones...why not implement some of the various poses and faces into the recode for having emotional pets? i can tell you i would LOVE that -huggles my dear little pets i already love to pieces-<br />
<br />
i just find it sad that this is a VIRTUAL PET SITE and people are all up in arms because -gasp- they're being told they need to take care of their pets! if you wanted a human avatar and rp site, go to gaia online, and there are probably others i haven't heard of. and personally, i like it better in that aspect over at gaia anyhow. though i wish their layering system were as nice as subeta's XD<br />

And for the sake of on-topic substance... I'm fine with this rule. Caring for PETS on a PETsite should be a no-brainer. Not like it's a huge wad of cash out of your pocket to visit Ikumoradeekanox every day or save up those Oofa Fruits and make sure your active pet is fed. As for happiness, heck, I've constantly got half a dozen worthless toys in my inventory that I can never seem to get rid of; I'm glad they'll finally have a use now.

Okay, my understanding is it just needs to be the active pet.. that would be okay and maybe fun.. I wouldnt mind buying food and toys for her.. I hope it just stays with one pet... If not, I would hate to say it but I would have to pet dump.. I really really do choice to play here for the HA thats the draw for me.. and the ONLY reason I go GOLD is for the 3 items a layer option.. please remember that some of us really are in love with the HAs more.. and thats a okay thing too.. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" />

I have to say the primary reason I don't feed my pets as often as I should is because it's tedious. They drop even one level off bloated, you have to feed them like four things to bring them back up. Happiness is even worse; sometimes it doesn't seem to budge at all. And it's what, 3-4 screens to feed? Now multiply by 5, 10, 15 pets... <br />
<br />
I know the recode uses a drag and drop interface. Could we drag-and-drop food/toys to our pets? I'd definitely keep them fed if it were that simple.

I don't mind this new addition, I love to see that my pets are happy and full. I do love the Idea of a Play Area for our pets that would be amazing. We have a park already now if our pets could get something out of visiting there. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" /> The only thing I would love to see change at the at the Resort would be the checking in procedure (sp). Don't need the time extended just not so many steps to check in each pet. Not sure how I feel about the quickstock suggestion though. I don't mind checking them in one at a time. Since I adore my little Pixels, they are way better pets then my RL pet.. LOL they don't tear the trash up.

A good idea in my opinion. (I often forget to check if my pets are happy or hungry since I rarely go to the status page.) My one complaint is that the resort only goes up to 14 days.<br />

I was thinking about this a few days ago... the difference between this place and Neopets it's that in Neo, pets are a little more important. (that, and the fact that Neopets sucks... XD).<br />
In here, almost all the people, it's worried about collecting clothes and stuff. <br />
Don't get me wrong: I like to collect stuff too, but I also feed, play, train and read to my pets, because I don't want to have a pet that it's dying, even if that pet it's just a buch of pixels.<br />
<br />
I really like the Resort over the Neolodge because it keeps the pet happy too. (may be because toys in Neo doesn't disappear after playing...).<br />
<br />
I like the idea of having happy and well feed pets, it helps to the Subeta economy, and helps to teach responsability to the little ones.<br />
<br />
But I would like too an option for a month in the Resort. =^__^=UUU<br />

You know, I actually think this is an excellent idea. It brings the focus back to the pets, and also forces users to care for them. It causes me no end of frustration to see hungry or depressed pets, even if they are merely pixels.<br />
<br />
To those who say it takes too much time to put them in the resort, or think it's too much work to buy some food or a toy... Get off the computer, get some exercise, or even play with a real pet.<br />
<br />
Ok, done ranting, carry on.

It's so funny how people are actually whining about this. All of these users complain that they actually have to spend SP on food, toys, or lodging, and then they forget the hoardes of crap in their galleries and vaults that just SITS there. <br /> If you dont want to feed them, don't feed them. But you're going to get punished. Simple as that.

It's kind of funny how people are overreacting to this. Just think of it as another task, such as doing wizard quests. So what if it's forced, don't have a friggen cow over it :c (and also, sometimes pets become spontaniously full, so you won't always have to feed them all...or, atleast to my observation)

Seriously, Subeta started as a petsite. And they have finally enforced that you take care of them, and you whine? Seriously. It is time that the pets became more than just trophies. I have the full 15, so it will take me as many, if not more clicks to put them in the resort, but I do it, and did it before this requirement. If you don't want to take care of them, get rid of them pure and simple.

To those that are talking about the price and not wanting to spend the sP on food/toys.... it is only 1400sp per pet to put them in the resort for 2 weeks. And for those saying they will forget every 2 weeks, you actually get a notice saying when your pet is out - so then you just put them right back in and voila ~ another two weeks where you can go on doing what you do. ;D

The only time I put my pets in my Lodge is when I know I'm not going to be around to feed 'em... ie, when I'm on vacation. They seem to like to go on a vacation every now and then, so I doubt that whatever happens at the Lodge is gonna be that bad for me at least.<br />
<br />
And yea, most of you guys should quit complaining about this "pets must be happy/fed to do certain stuff" rule. Heck, it could be like on Neo where they also have diseases and stuff... My poor pets there had to suffer because the treatments were so expensive, and I didn't have the money to get the medicines for 'em.<br />
<br />
Still, this is a very excellent idea.

"You may feed your real life pets, but chances are their quality of life isn't wonderful if all you do is feed them and then walk over to the computer." So, we should spend those five minutes it takes to shove all the pets in the resort neglecting out pets to try and feed our pixelated pets to prove that we can take care of pets? That makes little sense. This is making you spend more time doing one thing to care for things and take away time from our own. Why should everyone else have to comply to this new rule for the little kids who want to get a pet this way? Get them a tamagotchi if they want to prove they can care for a pixel thing, I like my subeta as a way to contact friends once I'm done with caring for my real pets who actually will die if you don't feed them. Just because I don't click a few extra buttons on subeta doesn't mean I don't care for my fish and dog. I nearly broke down when I heard that my fish was more than likely to loose his eye from an illness, but I kept on medicating him and he's getting much better after I went nuts looking for the right medications to put in his bowl. I even use a turkey baster to get his poo out of the bowl because it would stress him out too much to take him out of the bowl to clean it while he is sick. On the other hand, I let my subeta pets starve because they are not real and have no effect on how I care or do not care for my real pets, now on how much I love them.

ANYWAYS. I agree with the idea. Keith said they're fixing the Resort up so hopefully they increase the amount of time your pet can stay and maybe make an option to add all pets at once. I think it's a great idea. If you don't want to feed them you can just...have access to some parts of the site restricted! Whatever floats your boat.

Rachel~ I don't care who says what. If it's said intelligently and with good reason, that's all that matters. You're upset because I think there should be a limit to something for multiple reasons. The only reason there shouldn't be a limit according to many is "it's just a game, can't help being faster/better, deal." This new feeding/happiness thing is great because Subeta started as a PET site. Not a HA/minion feeding/chatting site. Those that follow the basic idea get rewarded for it.

The good news for me is that I've been keeping up with all of my pets and making sure that they're all fed and happy. Heck, that's the first thing I do before I go searching out stuff in Chase's quests or talk with the Wiz. I only change up my HA maybe once or twice in the entire year (yup, that's the truth!), so I think that this is a very excellent idea.<br />
<br />
Maybe Keith can give us a part in the site where we can go on vacation with our pets to a cool new place if we've been feeding and taking care of our pets properly? That would be pretty cool.

I'm really happy with this change. o-o Then again, I've always taken care of my pets, so it doesn't affect me at all. XD When I had 10 or less I cared for them all by hand, but with 15, I've started using the resort constantly. I take the time to train them all and raise their INT scores (all over 130 currently) now that I don't feed and play with them, though. I get bored easily and I feel bad if I don't do <i>something</i> with them. XD

I'm glad to see the site leaning back in the direction of being a pet site, but would it be possible to make hunger/happiness decreases a bit less erratic in the recode? Sometimes my pets will go for almost a week without decreasing from max happiness/max fullness, but sometimes they'll drop several levels in less than a day.

Rachel~ Keep your personal thoughts of me out of it. I called users that hoard minion feeding jerks. If you took offense than it's because you agree. My opinion shouldn't mean anything to you.

Soundly agree wih Lyzette. I was on Subeta far before the HA's existed, and I had [and have] always considered Subeta to be a "virtual pet" website. Let's keep in mind that Human Avatars are -optional-, while having a -pet-, atleast to do most events, is not [pumpkin patch, games, etc. etc.]. I personally have used the resort to me exposal for a very long time - just stick your pets in there for the 2 week period, and vuala - happy, well fed pets guaranteed. I'm glad to see this change - I think it'll start drawing people back to the true heart of Subeta, as I think it's somewhat sad to think that some users might not give a flying thought about their pets anymore, thanks to the HA system. But again, Subeta -is-, and always has been, a virtual pet site, and doubt that will ever change.

Lyz, I think the only reason people care there is because it's so much harder to get pets the way you want them. Then a simple event can ruin it all. That and pets show emotions there. XD <br />

Many are viewing this as a punishment, but it's not. Those that take care of their pets get to do more.

Sp4ade - until now I have never fed or played with my Subeta pets. I HIGHLY resent the implication that what I do on a GAME with pixels has ANY effect on how I treat my real pets. My cat is fed a grain-free diet that is home made for her from ingredients I buy at the grocery store, I won't even *consider* feeding her commercial pet food because in my opinion the quality is very poor (and cats were never meant to eat dehydrated food). Now I'm not trying to start a debate on how to best feed cats, that was just to illustrate that I take VERY good care of my real pet. She is at my side about 90% of the day. <br />
<br />
This is just one more illustration of the problems I see with separating real life from fantasy. Anyway, I've had my say and now I have to... yes, feed my real life cat before she claws my leg open <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />

I have no problem keeping my pets fed, but sometimes I have to go through three or four toys before their happiness even goes up a level. I also think toys shouldn't break quite as easily as they do. <br />
<br />
Overall though, I like this idea. And LadyBee's playground idea, too. (:

I feel odd, saying that I've never used the resort. o-o;; I've always just fed and played with my pets like normal. I haven't witnessed any problems so far with my wardrobe yet either.<br />
<br />
To be honest, this doesn't affect me much at all. I do think however it was something that needed to be done. For the simple reason that this is a pet based site. I mean, really I rarely post in the forums even. I came here because my little sister told me it'd be fun to have a HA and pets, and that's what it's going to continue to mean to me.

It's OK to "love your pets" but that can mean different things to different people. Some people just like the art. Some like to have the newest thing. It's not OK to get real pets and then get bored and dump them. But these are NOT real pets. They are pictures on a computer screen. It's fun to imagine personalities for them, make art for them, roleplay with them if those are things you enjoy. But comparing the "treatment" of pixels to the treatment of real, living, breathing animals who CAN suffer... well I think that's just a little off, personally.

Zlitchy~ As I said, it's a pet site. If users don't want to/can't take care of their pets, they shouldn't own them. I'm sick of the "they're just pixels" comments. If you want to dress a little pixel person, chat with others, or battle then there are sites for those things. Nothing can justify it not being able to take 5 minutes to shove your pets into an Inn. <br />
Many parents tell their kids if they can't take care of a pixel then they will never get a real pet. Believe it or not, how someone acts in a game does reflect their real life self. You may feed your real life pets, but chances are their quality of life isn't wonderful if all you do is feed them and then walk over to the computer.

Oh and those whining about not knowing when their pets are starving, It takes 5 minutes to click on the pet link and look at their status. <br />
<br />
If you don't have alot of sp, there is the free food place.<br />
<br />
And even thought putting them in a resort may seem like the easy way out, you are still caring for them buy earning the sp and remembering to put them in there. <br />
<br />
I still train and read books to my pets even if the resort feeds them and plays with them.

Legeica - I admit it's a personal thing. I never understood playing a pet site, creating pet after pet after pet, especially the newest latest prettiest pet released THAT DAY. And then abandoning pet after pet, etc. Just to have the coolest new thing. It happens far to often in real life and I appreciate the site taking steps to stop it here at least, lol. I think carefully about each pet I choose which is why to this day I still only have four. Yes they are pixels, but I love them. Why play a pet site if you don't care about the pets????? ('Course the wardrobe system is a big distraction around here! <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_grin.gif" border="0" /> ) I collect a lot of things myself, but keep your pets fed and happy at least!<br />
<br />
I WOULD like to see more cool things to do with your pet. And, how about a way to join?? You know, for us crazy people out here.

But you still can't do much with your pets really. Now we're just forced to keep them not on the edge of death. And only th active one too.<br />
<br />
I think it would be cool to do more with them. Maybe in the recode? =3

I don't understand why you would "hate" status pet collectors. This is a game site, everyone has different goals and things they like to do. If another player enjoys collecting expensive pets, good on 'em. Some people like collecting expensive clothes, some like expensive weapons. Yes, the point is to suspend disbelief so that we can have fun with our pet pixels, but I get a little concerned sometimes when some users don't seem able to comprehend the line between what's real and what isn't. They ARE pixels. They do NOT suffer.<br />
<br />
In all seriousness, whether we have to feed & play with our pets doesn't matter that much to me. It doesn't take that much SP or effort to put them into the resort, and it lasts for two weeks.

Just one question.....how is sticking your pets into the resort considered "taking care of your pets"??? That, to me, is the lazy way out.

=O Could it be??! Is subeta a petsite again? Rejoice!!<br />
<br /><br />
I was actually starting to think that this site wasn't a petsite anymore. Considering you dont have to do squat with your pets, and the only reason people have them is to make them pretty colours and roleplay with them. It turned more into a gaia online for awhile with the avatar system being the primary reason people play here, rather than the pets. <br /><br />
<br />
Hooray for PETSP. <br /><br />
And whoever's complaining about this simple task of feeding and playing with your pets, just be glad they don't let your pets die if they arent fed, or you get punished (losing sP, items, etc)for not taking care of them. <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_sigh.gif" border="0" />

I thought that Subeta wasn't meant to be a pet site, and that that was just one aspect of things that can be done here. I'm sure I read that somewhere... Not that I'm complaining, woo for happy poets.

With this being necessary now, it would be nice if there was some indication of whether or not your pet is in the Resort. Especially with having ten pets, I worry that I might have accidentally skipped one, thinking I had put them in the resort.

I get the whole this is a petsite thing but I just don't like playing with my pets anymore. I just have nothing to do with them that I want to do.<br />
<br />
It's a tad inconvenient because I know I won't remember until I get blocked out of my wardrobe. Right when this was put in place I had reset my clothing. I was locked out of my wardrobe lacking clothes. xD<br />
<br />
That's bound to happen like 20 times now. <br />
<br />
Hopefully it will help the economy, though. At the very least it will get some more sP out of the system.

Well, I don't personally want to neglect my real pets just to stuff some random bunch of pixels. I don't see how getting rid of one bundle of pixels and data should dictate who can and can't play on the site... I also see this directly affecting Pete's Quests. With the new minion bubble thing and the new rule that you have to feed your pets to play, I see the prices of food going far up and directly affecting the game.

And if only the active pet needs to be fed and played with, just *think* what this will do to the tender psyches of the poor pets that aren't active and get left out. I hope the recode has a psychiatrist that we can take all of our maladjusted pets to because of this... *shakes head*

Sp4de; thats was a bit immature of them yeah... but you comment about how we should take care of your pets was... well overreacting. I don't feed and play with mine because it's too long and well was giving me noting before. Also... they are virtual and have no feeling...

lol I hope the resort won't change much... like not raise so much! But being able to put all your pets and set the things in one shot could be nice.<br />

Well I can't wait to know more... surely if it raise too much I will hate having 15 pets... but I doubt I would get rid of my pets since I've spend so much getting them...

i never get event notices though that they are done their stay at the resort - i just have to check on them now and then. i guess my "event notice" will be that i can't get into my wardrobe <img src="http://images.subeta.org/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />

I don't mind the change but I would have preferred to see it after the recode, since the lag makes it unbearable sometimes to feed/play with each pet individually. I guess we can always use the resort but I'm afraid that it will be changed for the worst :/

This is probably to help boost the economy. Get rid of some of the 'useless' items here on Subeta. I dont see how making the stay in the lodge will make things better. I also think the minion feeding was ingenious way to help get rid of some food. I am sure it is also to make the site more intricate in design.<br />
I havent ever fed or played with my pets...shhhhh...but i will happily do so if it means I will be making more sp selling food and toys. I look at everything from the perspective of what is good for the site overall, guess thats what happens when you get old lol.<br />
Thanks XD

good idea. however, we should be able to put all pets in the resort with ONE click, because it's a pain in the a×× to put em in separately S: also, the resort should last for at least 1 month. but this is just my opinion ^^ sorry for my bad english!

I hope the glitches get worked out fast. I check my pets often, trying to keep them happy and fed. After doing it when I logged on today, I got some new clothes, but couldn't dress my avatar in them, kept saying a certain pet should be played with and fed first. This pet was happy and bloated, as where the rest of them. It drove me nuts. Finally did get in

I agree Frozenz. It's disgusting seeing users on PET sites making a big deal out of taking care of their PETS. Pets aren't status symbols or trophies. If you don't want to take care of them then don't get any. It's a simple concept. I think all pet sites should do this. You shouldn't be able to play with a miserable/starving pet.

I noticed the plural of "pets". It worked for me with only my active pet happy. Well, not even happy but at least bored. I stuffed that one in the hotel. <br />
<br />
Is the active one the only one that counts? Anyone know? It seems like it but it could be another bug.
