GoPets reside not only on their owner's computer, but also visit GoPets members around the world when sent, invited, or when they decide to travel on their own.

To provide a means of communication among users who speak different languages, GoPets also has a universal iconic language called \"IKU.\" The GoPets service also contains limited email, chat services, and a forum.

Basics

Pets

Players on GoPets have the ability to create a pet. Presently, the only \"pets\" available are cats, dogs, and pandas, but more, including a pony, and a monkey are in development. After selecting which animal they desire, they have the opportunity to customize their new GoPet by selecting from a list of pre-set colors and patterns. Once the initial creation process is complete, the GoPet will be brought into existence to reside on the player's desktop.

If players desire further customization, they can dress their pet up with unique clothing items, and equip different transportation vehicles such as cars or planes. Many equippable items hold trainable animations that GoPets can be taught to use when their stats are at a decent level.

GoPets are social, and enjoy interacting with other GoPets. These interactions include conversations, games, and professions of love and friendship which may result in a communal dance. GoPets love to travel around desktops of players all around the world in search of other places where there are treated politely and affectionately.

GoPets never die or become sick, despite the lack of care or how low their status may become. However, GoPets will respond negatively to ill care and leave their owners' desktop frequently. For example, when very tired, Gopets will fall asleep often.

GoLand

GoLand is GoPets term meaning a players desktop. New users are taken to a community desktop where books, food and clothing are able to be purchased. A user may purchase their own piece of GoLand by using the GoLand Map and searching for either a camping site or a tier 1 land. Camping sites are shown by a green paw, and only cost 1000 green shells; while the tier 1 lands are shown by an orange paw and cost 75 gold shells. Camping sites only allow 75 items to be placed onto the desktop, while a tier 1 land allows 250 items for non-subscribers, and 400 items for premium subscribers.

Players can decorate their desktop with countless objects and toys for GoPets to play and interact with. GoPets can use many of the items by themselves. One popular item is a bathtub, which GoPets utilize when their cleanliness status is low. In addition to toys and food, GoPets owners can place decorative items on the desktop, such as trees, shrubs or ponds. They can also mark items for sale, allowing visitors to their desktop to purchase these items at will. A feature to make friend's desktops able to be watched has now been added.
