Everything You Need to Know About the Purge

UFA = Up for Adoption. UFQA = Up for Quick Adoption. NTY = No thank you. RG = Royal Girl. IQ = Island Quiggle. If you surf illegitimately, COVER YOUR TRACKS If you have Neofriends, don’t leave your program running overnight! What is the name of the pet you want to adopt? This is case sensitive. Visit Dr Death at the abandon desk in the adoption center, (you don’t have to disown a pet, just visit the page) Aisha Defender Avatar The page may tell you to enter the Defenders Arena, enter then you will get the avatar. If you have entered the arena previously the link will take you directly to the avatar. Lupe Defender Avatar CLICK HERE. Only DSL or Cable, others are not fast enough. All neopets in the pound anyone can get it so it is your risk, and a faster a computer better chance so DSL or cable. You must know the quick adopt link, if not dont bother. I dont have enough time to explain the adopt link.

Okay, so for those who don’t know, there’s a purge going on in Neopets. Of course, we do not know the exact inner workings of the purge (only the TNT member who created the script knows, and they’ve been quiet about anything purge related). However, since it’s been going on for a while, we’ve been able to get some information. Most of this guide is legit, but some parts aren’t (like when I discuss the methods of creating purged pets, though I’ll include the legit ways as well.)

I. The Basics

What is the purge?
In order to clear space on the servers, TNT has decided to completely delete a bunch of inactive accounts.

What accounts will they purge?
3.5 extra dmg to casters. Not all accounts will be purged. Only those that have been inactive for 18+ months (1 year and a half) are eligible to be deleted.

Will frozen accounts purge?
The same rules apply for frozen accounts. If they were frozen 18+ months ago, they’ll purge. However, you can’t tell when they were frozen, so they’re a bit more difficult.

Do they purge in a specific order?
Yes, the accounts purge in alphabetical order. It goes by account, not pet name. So pet Zekehh on the account Anabananana will purge before pet Aviahsa on account Zeeesms.

Another important thing is to realize how TNT does their alphabetical order. It goes: #, letter, ___.
So Cutie5 will purge before cutiegirl2, which will both purge before cutie_pie_6.

How long will the purge be?
Given the sheer number of accounts that no one imagines will be created (like alexa21902398210), the purge goes pretty fast. But because we don’t know of these accounts, it seems to by very slow. It takes anywhere from a couple of weeks to a month to get through a letter. The purge won’t be finished until about a year from now, most likely.

Has a purge like this happened before?
Yes, it has. About two years ago a smaller-scale purge happened. But it was never followed as closely as this one because you couldn’t trade pets back then. So only those who were interested in real word (rw)/ real name (rn) pets created them.

Why has it changed now? I don’t like RW / RN pets, why should I care?
Simply put, TO TRADE. RW/RN pets are highly desired on the PC, whether its for sentimental/creative reasons. If you create a common real name, or a common real world (in its singular and most simplistic form), you can expect some really nice UC offers (and they’re legit!). Or, if BD is your thing, expect some pretty nice stats. More on the trading later, however.

II. How to Find Purged Pets/Usernames

How do I find good names?
Well, what you consider a “good name” is relative. But what you want to do is use the following two links to search:
USERNAME: http://www.neopets.com/userlookup.phtml … ERNAMEHERE
PETNAME: http://www.neopets.com/~PETNAMEHERE

Just know that if you search a pet name, you’ll need to do the username search as well for the account to make sure that it’s eligible to purge.

But wait! The age just says “Last Spotted: A long, long time ago”! How do I know it’s been inactive for 18+ months?!
Well, you don’t. But there are hints, such as number of avatars, games played, if the pets have customization, etc. If you want to be legit, you just have to guess.

The account’s frozen! How do I tell its age?
http://www.neopets.com/show_user.phtml? … ERNAMEHERE
You can see from that link.

Hey! I went on to the pet name link you sent me, but the pet’s owner isn’t listed on the page?
Well, you can always search the pet in the main search bar and find the account there. If the account name is frozen, here’s what you do. First, go to the petpage. Then, look at the very top of the page and you’ll see a beige bar with a black box for a neopets referral link. Hover over the link, and it should say this: http://www.neopets.com/refer.phtml?username=USERNAMEHERE. There you go, the username!

I want to find out the pet names on a frozen account, what should I do?
Go here: http://www.neopets.com/pound/transfer.phtml. Click a random pet of yours, and a box should pop up. Type in the name of the account you want to check, and press OK. You should see a page with your pet on it. Right below your pet’s picture, it should say:

If you would like to exchange PETNAME for one of ACCOUNTNAME’s Neopets, please Click here.

Click that, and it’ll show up.

Okay, I found the names. What should I do?
Here’s my method. I create a large spreadsheet, once column with the pet names and the other column with usernames. Then, because of the alphabetical order, I sort the list by username.

III. Keeping Track of the Purge

A short section on how we keep track of the purge.

I’ve found the pet, now how do I find where we are in the purge?
There’s two handy boards on the PC that can help you with this. Go to the Neopian Pound Chat here: http://www.neopets.com/neoboards/boardl … l?board=34. You’ll see a board like this, it’s usually on the top page due to how active it is:

{*some symbol*} UNTAKEN UN + PN {Chat/Discuss/Drama} Board ####

Go there. It’s a chatting board that displays what the last purged account was. If you can’t stand the chatter, then there is a NO-CHAT Board (NCB) that posts only markers/purged accounts. Because of this, its not bumped as often. The chatting board will usually give a link to the NCB either in the introductory post or somewhere on the first page, so go there if you want some quiet.

How do they know where the purge is?
Purge chatters keep track of the purge using “markers”, or accounts that they believe will purge as a way to monitor the speed of the purge. For instance, if someone created a pet off of the account “Alyssa”, they would have windows open of the userlookups of Alyssa1, Alyssa2, Alyssaa, Alyssaab, Alyssabb, Alyssb, etc. It shows you more indepth detail on the purge.

If you’re at the boards, feel free to jump in and help out. They’ll really appreciate it!

IV. How To Create a Purged Name

Neopets Quick Adopt Link

I’ll go over three methods when creating a purged pet (or any pet for that matter, but speed is key here.) Very nice names have been created in all three methods. However, I’ve only created a common RN using the first method here. [EDIT: I’ve created multiple common RN’s with both methods now, they both work nicely depending upon the situation!] Some methods are better for certain times.

A. The Standard Create-a-Pet

Most users do this, and the answer is to go here: http://www.neopets.com/reg/page4.phtml . Fill out the all of the boxes, and just spam the “Create” button as fast as you possibly can. However, this gets tiring. So the clicking rate isn’t constant at all, and you need to take pauses because you get tired pretty quickly. But it’s probably the quickest legit way if you click at the right time.

B. Grundo-A-Pet

This MUST BE USED IF YOU ARE CREATING A PET WITH 1-2 LETTERS! Basically, you g
