Website based virtual pet

Web-based digital pets: 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, Etta world in Ettapets, Wytheria in Wytheria, The Mystic Island or tiki village in MrTiki, Anatheria in Anatheria. 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 role-playing 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.
