Welcome to Old Neopia!

"Neopia is shaped like a giant disc, with goodness on the top, and evil below. Inside, the disc is split up into many many sublevels, each of them hundreds of miles high, and thousands of miles wide in every direction. In fact these levels can be considered worlds in their own right. Generally, pets who are good will travel upwards in search of goodness, and pets who are evil will travel downwards. There are many others ranging from pure evil and nastiness to purity and goodness which your pet will be able to travel to in the future. The farther away from Neopia Central you travel, the more powerful, and older creatures you will encounter."

Originally there was planned to be a type of karmic system which would move you into a different plane.
