Ukuba ungumsebenzisi wamashumi amabini anethoba we-Intanethi oqonda kakuhle i-HTML kunye nokungaqhelekanga kwe-omelets, amathuba okuba uthabathe zombini ezi mpawu ekudlaleni Neopets ngaxa lithile ebomini bakho. Ukuqala kokuqaliswa ngo-1999, indawo leyo yayifana nenguqulelo yenkomo yePokémon: unezilwanyana zasekhaya kunye nehlabathi liphela oza kuzihlola kunye nazo. Kwiminyaka elishumi elinesihlanu kamva, umdlalo usaqhubeka-kwaye uye waba nzima ngakumbi kunokuba nawuphi na oneminyaka elishumi ubudala enokucinga.
Imvelaphi encinci: I-Neopets yayiye yiprojekthi encinci yezilwanyana zasekhaya (i-pun eyenzelwe) ngabafundi beekholeji zaseBritane uAdam Powell, owaqala ukukhulelwa umbono ngo-'97 kwaye wasebenza kwinkqubo, kunye noDonna Williams, owayephethe uxwebhu loyilo kunye nemizobo . Bayila indawo yokugcina abafundi baseyunivesithi bonwabile, kwaye kunokwenzeka ukuba benze imali ezinkozo kwintengiso yebhanile, kwaye ngenxa yoko yayizele kukungqamana kunye neereferensi zalapha. Umzekelo, i-Neopet ekhangeleka ngo-penguin, uBruce, ekuqaleni yayingumfanekiso nje womzobi weNgesi uBruce Forsyth.
Bayitshintsha ngezizathu zomthetho.
Kwakukho i-Neopet ye-Macy Grey ekhwaza i-ray-gun. Ewe. Zizinto ezimbini ezenzekileyo kakhulu.
Ngapha koko, isiza sakhula ngokukhawuleza sathandwa, kwaye ngeKrisimesi ka-1999 babesele befumana ukubonwa kwamaphepha angama-600,000 ngosuku. Ukulawula ukungena kweendwendwe, uWilliam noPowell bathengise isiza kwiingcali zophando kwimithombo yeendaba (kunye Icawa yeScientologist ilungu ) UDoug Dohring, owahambisa ikomkhulu le-Neopets eSouthern California kwaye waqalisa ukusebenza ukwenza indawo ukuba ibe lilifa losapho elinobubele losasazo ngokusebenzisa intengiso yokuntywiliselwa-ngokusisiseko, ngokunyanzela iintengiso zeemveliso ezizezona zingene kwiindawo apho abantwana banokukhumbula ngakumbi kubo.
Kwakungeli xesha lokukhula endathi okokuqala ndabona isiza kwibanga lesine okanye lesihlanu. Kwangoko ndathandana neNeopia kwaye yonke into ibinokuyenza: bendizakuchitha iiyure ndifunda kwi Iziganeko eziyimfihlakalo zokubulala abasebenzi , ukugalela i-neoHTMLs yokufundisa ukwenza awona maphepha mahle esilwanyana, ukudlala indima kwi (kuncitshiswe kakhulu, kuhlolwe kakhulu) incoko nde Ndigqithile kwinqanaba xa bekufanele ukuba ndilele ubusuku ngabunye, kwaye ndibhala ngefusfiction eneenkcukacha malunga neefessies- hayi Fairies, kwaye ndikholelwe xa ndisithi kwathatha ixesha ukwahlukana nomkhwa wokusebenzisa isipelingi sesiNgesi emva kokuba uNeopets endifundise kakuhle-ukuzithoba kwi-Neopian Times.
(Kwakhona, ndineenkumbulo ezicacileyo zokuqhekeka kwinqanaba lam lesihlanu emva kokuzama ukuphazamisa INyanga yoLwandle Umxholo weNeopets umbutho ovela ngaphakathi ukuze uphume kum. Sasinzima, sisebenzisa i-dweebs encinci ngelo xesha.)
Ahh, iinkumbulo.
Ekugqibeleni ndaya ndisiba mdala kwaye ndaqala ukuzibona iintengiso ngokucacileyo ngakumbi njengoko zazisiya zisanda ukubonakala, kwaye ngamanye amaxesha malunga no-2003 ndayeka kulo mkhwa kwaye andinakukwazi ukuwubuyisa nokuba ndizame kangaphi. Kodwa indawo yayiqhubeka yomelele: ngoJuni 2005, UViacom uthenge inkampani nge-160 yezigidi zeedola . Ngelo xesha, indawo yayiqhayisa ngeakhawunti eyi-92 yezigidi kunye nabasebenzisi abazizigidi ezingama-30, i-39% yabo yayingama-13 nangaphantsi, kwaye i-57% yabo yayingabafazi. Kwakukho amakhadi okuthengisa, ii-plushies, imidlalo yevidiyo yexabiso eliphantsi yePS1, iintengiso kwiNickelodeon, kunye neentetho zebhanyabhanya kwimisebenzi. I-Neopets yayisele iyinyani yenkomo. Okanye uKau. Nokuba yeyiphi.
Ewe indawo yayinayo neyayo Ngokwenyani imali kwiiNeopoints, ezithi zisetyenziswe ngabathengi ukuthenga nokuthengisa izinto ezibonakalayo ezinje ngebrashi yokupeyinta yokuguqula izilwanyana zakho ezinemibala eyahlukeneyo, iikhowudi zokuziqeqesha, amaqanda kunye nemifuno yokuzalela izilwanyana zasekhaya ezinqabileyo, iziqwenga zobuncwane, izinto zeFaerie Quests; ngokusisiseko nantoni na onokuyicinga. Unokukhetha ukuthengisa, ukuthengisa, ukuthenga kunye nefandesi ezo zinto kunye nabanye abasebenzisi. Ufumana iingubo ngokudlala iisayithi kumakhulu emidlalo kwinto engaphezulu okanye engaphantsi kweeNeopets ezilinganayo zokugaya; Okukhona udlala, kokukhona urhola. Kodwa akukhathaleki ukuba ndenze ntoni ngelo xesha, ayizange ive ngathi yanele ukuthenga izinto endifuna ukuzithenga. Ixabiso lokucela izinto ezinqabileyo lalisoloko lingaphaya kokufikelela kwam.
Njengoko kuvela, oku kungenzeka ukuba yayingengombono wengcinga yam yokubawela ngaphambili. Endaweni yokuba isenokuba sisalathiso sokunyuka kwamaxabiso ngokukhawuleza kuqoqosho lwaseNeopiya. Ngaphezulu kwembali yomdlalo, kwaba kubi kakhulu ngaphambi kokuba ibe ngcono.
Yonke imidlalo ekwi-Intanethi yolu hlobo inendlela yayo yemali ebonakalayo, ewe, kunye neengxaki zazo zokunyuka kwamaxabiso kunye nokusasazwa kobutyebi. Emva kwayo yonke loo nto, xa ufumana isixa esithile segolide sokuqala njengomdlali weMMO kwaye nkqu Kaninzi kuyo yonke imfuno oyigqibileyo, ekugqibeleni amawaka abadlali abatsha abafika yonke imihla ukuya kule mibuzo iya kwenza igolide eninzi kakhulu kwinkqubo. Kuya kusiba kubi ngakumbi xa abadlali bemenyiwe ukuba bananiselane kwaye bathengise izinto ezibonakalayo komnye nomnye; amaxabiso ezinto ezinqabileyo okanye zexabiso ahlala enyuka de kube nzima kakhulu kubadlala umdlalo oqhelekileyo ukuba baqhubeke nabantu abalima kwaye besila igolide ngokungaguquguqukiyo. Nkqu Eva kwi-Intanethi unengxaki yokugcina ngamanye amaxesha, kwaye ukuba umdlalo inezoqoqosho yayo oqeqeshiweyo kubasebenzi .
Kwi-Neopets, izinga lokunyuka kwe-neopoints libi kakhulu njengoko lisanda. Umkhwa awuzange uphawulwe, nokuba; kwangoJuni 2001, ezininzi kwezoqoqosho Ngobuchule Abasebenzisi baqatshelwe kwi-Neopian Times ukuba ukunyuka kwamaxabiso kuyenzeka kwaye banokufuna ungenelelo ukuzilinganisela. (Abanye bazamile ukusebenzisa imarike njengendlela yokufundisa uqoqosho lokwenyani kubafundi, njenge eli nqaku lisuka kunyaka ophelileyo ). Iposi elidumileyo leTumblr elibhalwe kulo nyaka ngumsebenzisi ICobrall Ucebise ukuba indawo ngoku iyothusa kwaye iyaphazamisa uphume kwinqanaba elisezantsi.
Ukuba ufumana i-16k ngosuku (malunga ne-avareji ukuba uqhelekile), kungakuthatha iminyaka engama-59 ukugcina i-faerie wand emnyama, iposti nayo iyafundeka.
Kuninzi kakhulu ngaloo nto, ngoko.
Asinguye wonke umntu ongenathemba malunga noqoqosho lomdlalo, nangona kunjalo. Iqela le-Neopets lazisa izinto ezininzi ukunceda ukwehlisa [ukunyuka kwamaxabiso] okanye ukwenza izinto zibe lula ebantwini ukuba bafezekise, umsebenzisi wexesha elide weNeopets okhethe ukungaziwa wandixelela. Iakhawunti yakhe yangoku ikule ndawo iinyanga ezili-156, kwaye kule mihla ugxile ekuthengiseni izilwanyana zasekhaya ezinqabileyo, kubandakanya nezingaguqukanga ezigcine ubugcisa bazo bokwenyani emva kokuphinda kwenziwe indawo ngo-2007-endizakuyivuma, ayiyondawo yentengiso Ndikhulelwe ngaphambi kokubhala eli qhekeza.
Ukwenza i-NP ngoku kulula kakhulu emva koko kuxa ndandiqala, waqhubeka. Kukho iindlela ngoku zokuphumelela amaqanda eDraik kunye neekrawk morphing potions ezenze ukuba ezi zilwanyana zifumaneke ngakumbi kuwo wonke umntu. Kwaye i-NC mall inee-cookies ze-Faerie Quest kwaye [iiFountain Faerie Quests] aziqhelekanga kubo ngoko ke akufuneki ukuba ugcine ibrashi yepeyinti.
Amanye amanyathelo iqela le-Neopets-i-TNT ngokufutshane-ayenzileyo ukujongana nenqanaba lokunyuka kwamaxabiso kuye kwahlangatyezwana nawo ngamanqanaba okuphumelela. Okokuqala, isiza sisongela ukubanda kwamagama abasebenzisi nabani na obanjiweyo benza iiakhawunti ezininzi ngenjongo enye yokufumana ii-neopoints ezininzi ngosuku. Ukudlala kwiiakhawunti ezininzi kuzisa iiNeopoints kunye nezinto kuqoqosho, ezibangela ukunyuka kwamaxabiso, batsho ngonyaka we-2010 Amaxesha eNeopian yokuhlela. Kwaye akuvumelekanga kubasebenzisi ukuba bathengise okanye bathengise neopoints (okanye i-Neocash, eyiyo unayo Ixabiso lemali) kwimali yehlabathi yokwenyani.
Kukho ezininzi isinki endaweni yokurhwebesha abasebenzisi ukuba balahle imali eninzi, ngaloo ndlela besusa loo mali kwintengiso ngokupheleleyo. Ezinye izinto zikhohlisa abasebenzisi ngethemba lokufumana umvuzo Kaninzi imali, kodwa eneneni bagqibela ngokuqokelela ngaphezulu kunokuba bebehambisa; abanye bavuza abadlali ngee-avatata zencoko kunye nezinto ezinqabileyo. Kwaye okothusayo (kum, ubuncinci), qho emva kwexesha kukho Ukucoca iakhawunti , ngeli xesha Iqela leNeopets licoca iiseva zalo ngokukhubaza iiakhawunti ezindala kakhulu, ezingasebenziyo okanye ezinqabileyo. Zonke izilwanyana zasekhaya, izinto, kunye neopoints ezinxulumene neeakhawunti ziyanyamalala, kwaye abadlali abatsha bavunyelwe ukwenza iiakhawunti ezintsha kunye nezilwanyana zasekhaya ezinamagama asuswe ngoku. Oku kugcina abasebenzisi bangabuyeli kwizigidi zabo ze-neopoints kunye nezinto ezinqabileyo emva kokuphulukana nomdla kule ndawo. Yintoni enkulu. Ngokwenene. Andiphambani ngokuba enye intombazana evela eCanada engakhange ingene kwiinyanga ezingama-35 yathatha igama lam lomsebenzisi ukusukela xa ndandineminyaka elishumi elinanye. Ngokuqinisekileyo akunjalo .
Kulawo abasebenzisi beNeopets abonwabela nje imidlalo, ukwakhiwa kwehlabathi, kunye nezilwanyana ezithandekayo, akukho nanye kwezi edla ngokubangela umdlalo wabo wemihla ngemihla kakhulu. Amaxabiso ahlala enyuselwa kakuhle nokuba kungo-2005 okanye u-2014, omnye umsebenzisi weNeopets, u-DB, undixelele, kodwa ecaleni kwezinye iintlobo ezithile zabaqokeleli, Wonke umntu usathengisa okanye athengise ngendlela efanayo.
Ewe uyavuma ukuba kukho izinto ongekhe uzithenge nokuba ungarhola malini. Andiyonwabisi nembono yokuzama ibrashi yepeyinti kwakhona, kodwa isenokwenzeka ngakumbi kwiminyaka eli-9 eyadlulayo. Ngoku baya malunga ne-1.3 yezigidi zeepoints kwindawo yokuthengisa.
Zonke ezi zilwanyana zixabiseke ngaphezu kokuba unokuzenza.
Nangona kunzima kubadlali abatsha abanokuba nexesha elincinci kunye nokufikelela kwiintlobo ezifanayo zezinto kunye nolwazi njengabo bahlala ixesha elide, oko akuthethi ukuba ukugqobhoza akunakwenzeka kwaphela. Njengoko D.B. amanqaku, kuhlala kukho imisitho emitsha yokuhamba ngebhayisikile enika abasebenzisi abatsha ithuba lokufumana izinto ezicocekileyo, kwaye abasebenzisi abancinci abaqhelene kakhulu nokufaka iikhowudi okanye ezinye iintlobo zokuyila umxholo banokufumana ukutsiba kwabadala ngendawo. umxholo wokhuphiswano .
Kodwa bangaphi abasebenzisi abatsha abeza kule ndawo yonke imihla, kunjalo? Akukho kangangexesha langaphambili kwiminyaka elishumi eyadlulayo, ngelishwa; apho kwakukade kukho abasebenzisi abangama-40,000 nangawuphi na umzuzu, ngoku ungalindela ukubona kuphela i-10 okanye i-11,000 endaweni yoko. Abanye abasebenzisi banoluvo lokuba oku kungabikho kokukhula kule minyaka mithathu okanye minne idlulileyo kuyenzile ingxaki ukungqinisisa Iimpahla ezikhoyo ukunyuka kwamaxabiso Ngokwemvelo (njengebrashi yomhlala-phantsi), kusekho, kunjalo, kodwa kwizinto ezinqabileyo kancinci, amanye amaxabiso aqala ukwehla.
Njengoko abantu abaninzi beyeka iiNeopets, izinto ezimbalwa ziyathengiswa, umdlali omnye, uColin Straka, ubhale ngalo mbandela . Njengoko izinto ezimbalwa zithengiswa, ixabiso lazo liyehla. Njengoko ixabiso lazo lihla, izinto ezimbalwa zithengiswa. Isiphumo ngumjikelo okhohlakeleyo oqhuba abasebenzisi kude nesiza.
Kodwa kunokubakho ithemba kwabo bantu baseNeopiya bafuna ukubona umdlalo wabo usiya kwelinye icala: ngoMatshi, uViacom wathengisa iiNeopets ngesixa esingachazwanga Inkampani ebizwa ngokuba yiJumpstart ngeyoKwindla kulo nyaka . Ewe, lonto JumpStart : le ibikade ikufundisa ukuba ungawadibanisa njani amanani kwakhona kwibanga lesithathu kunye nomgca wemidlalo yePC yokufunda. Kuxelwe ukuba banomdla kwisiseko sabasebenzisi abadala, ngokukodwa abo badlali baqala ukungena kwiiNeopets besebancinci kwaye bengazange bashiye njengam. Ngayo nayiphi na ithamsanqa, umgaqo-nkqubo omtsha wokuphatha (uninzi lwe-TNT lusekhona ebhodini, ewe) kwaye ukubambelela ngamandla kwimikhosi yemali yesiza kunokubarhwebesha abanye abadlali abakhulileyo abakhathazekileyo ngakumbi emva kwilizwe le-Neopia, kwaye yenze kube lula entsha abo ukuba bangene ebhodini, nabo. Hayi, ucinga ukuba banalo uhlobo oluthile IMathematics Blaster: Uqoqosho Banokukwazi ukuphuma kwenye indawo?
