Neopets vs YoWorld
Neopets
Neopets is rather old yet entertaining simulation/virtual world game that lets you adopt and take care of magical and unique pets. This means that you'll be expected to build them a home, buy them food, clothes and other cool stuff. Set in a cartoonish and immense world, you can even set off on exciting adventures with your pet. Best part is that thepets in this game can grow alongside you and they have different looks for different stages of growth, much like the Pokemon in a Pokemon game. There are plenty of fun mini-games to keep you engaged for hours on end as well.
Although the game is a bit on the old side (being released in 1997 and all), the game still holds its charm for players who want a game that's a combination of a usual pet simulation/collection game with a virtual world game. It's free to play and you can play it directly from your browser!
YoWorld
YoWorld , formerly known as YoVille, was purchased and revived by Big Viking Games after Zynga have deemed the game to be a loss to maintain. This is a move hugely supported by the large player base and it has brought us here today - to YoWorld, the newly reinstated virtual world game "YoVille". Like the old game, YoWorld lets you create your avatar, customize him or her to your liking, and meet and chat with your new friends in the many venues in the game. There are also a ton of fun mini-games for you to enjoy as well as an online casino containing games like Dice Poker, Dominoes and Lucky Wheel for you to potentially double your money.There isn't a lot of improvement done to YoWorld that really sets it apart from YoVille, but whatever's there is enough to keep its existing fans and player base happy, and give these players a place to return to whenever they'd like to chat or simply to satisfy their nostalgia.
