After acquiring Neopets in a $4 million takeover, Dominic Law, CEO of World of Neopia, has plans to revive the 24-year-old web browser game. His strategy includes leveraging the game’s intellectual property to create merchandise and open new revenue streams, as well as developing more games under the Neopets brand. Law and his team have been actively working to draw players back to the game by modernizing and restoring features and engaging in a “reactivation campaign.” Neopets, which had a peak of 35 million monthly active users in 2005, still has over a million active users today. Despite the challenges of evolving gaming industry trends and competition, Law believes that Neopets’ nostalgic appeal and unique gaming experience will set it apart from other games. The company aims to capitalize on brand awareness and lower the cost of acquiring players through targeted reactivation campaigns and leveraging email addresses associated with Neopets accounts. Law is confident that the efforts of his team will lead to increased user engagement, activity, and revenue, and plans to further strengthen Neopets’ financial stability through licensing intellectual property for merchandise and developing new games. This includes partnerships with brands like Monopoly and Upper Deck. The ultimate goal is to bring back players and introduce the Neopets brand to a new generation of potential players.
