Some of my friends got they virtual pet account stolen. But the big question is, is it real criminalism, or simply child joke?!

If you got your virtual dog account stolen, its probably that someone find out your password. Most of the browser games has almost no bugs that allow you to steal an other user’s account. They can’t use a method called brute force, which means they try all possibilities for password, because it would take ages to login.

Almost all cases the pure choise for the password was the problem. DON’T USE common keywords as dog, puppy or password. Also don’t user birth dates, nick or real name. Avoid using only numbers, 0123456789 is NOT a good password.

Virtualbark got its own password strength meter. Its an unique feature almost only this virtual pet site has. Try to find out a password that is at least “normal” strength. But remember the password, its no use to use a password like 4233jnkd1234 that you cannot remember.

Have fun with virtual pets.

Almost all kinds of virtual pet games allow you to choose from different kind of the same animal. Virtual dog sites have different races. Which race is the “best” in your opinion?

I put on a vote on this, my personal favourite is Golden retriver.

You can also add your own kind to the choises.

Lots of virtual pet sites allow you to order T-shirts. I don’t really understand this. Those t-shirts are only for advertising the site, lots of them look ugly and has pure quallity. Shipping also cost you a lot of money. I myself prefer to buy some own paper for T-shirts and than print some nice picture on it. Why don’t they give you some nice drawing, what you can put on your T-shirt?!

Let me include some example pictures, what i really want to wear, really want to put on my T-shirt. Pictures are for virtual dog category:

If you like them, feel free to print them and wear in a name of virtual dogs.

Today i found a really facinating video about how to draw a cartoon dog. Its the basic of all virtual dog sites.

Even if you are not an expert of drawing you can try to make drawings like this.

Looks easy, right? Well its not. Just check out the virtual dog page i mentioned before, it has a nice drawing of a cartoon dog on the top of the page.

Virtualbark is the best virtual pet game around, start playing now! I got 10 dogs there and i visit the page every day. Though not all the pictures are cartoon style, I still love them.

It’s an iteresting topic, i try to find out, why can people like me get addict with virtual pet games. Blizzard, a game creator company says: “The graphics doesn’t matter, only the feeling when you play a game”. But in a browser game its hard to create a nice feeling without great graphics. Most of these online games doesn’t have sounds, so your ears remain hungry. You cannot touch the virtual pet you’re playing with, so the only thing what remains is the graphics.

I’m not talking about Flash and video and so on, just some nice kind of graphics, what your willing to watch for hours, if the game is good. I myself prefer nicely drawn cartoons, but i hate if they move and flash and blinks. Somehow it annoys me. I think developers shoud find the “just enought” amount of graphics.

Today I set up a voting system, so i want to know what you’re thinking about virtual pet games and their graphics.

Hy everyone!

Today I decided to blog about popular games called virtual pet sites, i’m especially interested in virtual dog or someone may call it virtual puppy sites. I try to focus on social part of these so called browser games. I hope you will enjoy it, if you got any questions, feel free to comment on the blog.

First things first, what is a virtual pet?

Wikipedia comes up with this definition:

Virtual petsites or bbmmo’s (Browser Based MMO’s) are usually free to play and accessible to all who sign up. They can be accessed through web browsers and often include a virtual community, Neopia in Neopets, Ettaworld in Ettapets, Wytheria on Wytheria: The Mystic Island or tiki village in MrTiki. In these worlds, you can play games to earn virtual money; which is usually spent on items and food for your pets.

Some sites adopt out pets to put on your webpage and use for roleplaying in chat rooms. They often require the adoptee to have a page ready for their pet. Sometimes they have a setup for breeding one’s pets and then adopting them out.

Other sites that adopt out pets to put on a webpage are centered around writing for and breeding said pets to create newer, often ’showier’ creatures. Members are often encouraged to create their own species of draconic creatures, to adopt from other members, and to breed the various species together. Unlike with some adoption agencies for webpage based cyberpets, where the owner of the species is the only one that can breed said species, the Nexus encourages all of its members to share and interbreed their species together, and the resulting offspring are usually adopted out to story-based or stats page-based web-pages.

Some games also allow users to breed a pet for combat against other players.
