In the world of Neopets, you are faced with a wide array of Neopians. Some of them are good, others not so much, some new, some old and wise, and some, just plain annoying. This is the original article by NeoGuide on the difference between a Newbie and a n00b.
You run into quite a lot of newbies and n00bs on the boards. Here are the keys to being able to notice the differences between them!
Newbies
Newbies are new to Neopets. They have never had an account before. Their questions are innocent. They ask things like:
+What are Neopoints?
+How can I get Neopoints?
+How do I feed my pet?
+I just got a quest. How do I get the item?
A newbie will never try to scam you into giving them items or neopoints. They just want to learn the basics.
n00bs
n00bs are everywhere. They are the ultimate scammer, annoyance, and begger. They ask for neopoints and items all the time. They often say things like:
+my dad died can i have ur paintbrush
+i lost all my nps can i have urs
They also create non-neopet-related boards.
+I just broke up with my boyfriend!
+I am looking for a girlfriend
They have no respect for Neopets rules. They brake them all the time. Watch out for them. Don't reply to their boards. Just report them!
I hope this helped you!
