In a lengthy blog post, The Neopets Team (TNT) announced that Neopets is once more in the hands of an independent company–after years of mismanagement from various parent companies–and ready to start a new era.

The new company is called World of Neopia, Inc, and will run under the leadership of Dominic Law, the former head of the unpopular crypto-centric spinoff, Neopets Meta. The new team is made up of employees from across Neopets and Neopets Metaverse, with Law named as the person who bargained with parent company NetDragon to save Neopets through a management buyout deal.
