Kids say that while the website was once a fun and charming virtual world for children, it has severely changed since the introduction of a membership system, which many users feel is too costly and limits accessibility for non-paying players. Concerns about safety, including instances of bullying and inappropriate behavior, are also frequently mentioned, leading parents to be cautious about their children's interactions on the platform.

Is It Any Good?
This is a colorful, cheerful, fun virtual world with solid safety mechanisms in place that'll surely keep kids engaged. With its collection of fun games, activities, and scripted or filtered chat, kids with adequate reading and computer skills will be able to navigate the site easily. Neocash used to play some games and buy some items at the virtual mall requires real money (via credit card or gift card).
Online interaction: Easy (scripted) chat and standard chat are both built-in ways to keep online interaction positive.
