Most of us have gotten frozen for truly inane reasons more than once. The boards are overflowing with inane chatter. There's practically nothing to do but play flash games. Your mail is monitored. Even the slightest swear is ban-worthy. You get talked down to as if you were three. You can't say poop. You can't automate even the simplest tasks. They want our real life dollahs and bombard us with infuriating ads. People get frozen for mentioning Marapets in private mail.

I could go on.

And yet I find myself coming back to this stupid game time after time. This time it took 5 years, but I came back for my punishment all the same and I love it. I honestly wantt o know why people keep coming back to Neopets.

It fills a small part of the void in my life, and it's something to do, that's probably why.

Besides, it's not like I do much else with my life.

It's a hobby to me. I don't invest enough time to play the game itself like how it is meant to be, so I keep to myself. Make neopoints, and through these neopoints I can get items I think are cool, make pets that are cool, and hoard them. Other than that I have no other reason to play. If I do get iced, then I find a new hobby.

I met a lot of nice people there. Neopets introduced me to the cyber world... to say it like that. That's the only reason why I keep playing.

Ah, yes. Me too. But those days are long gone, my man. Same reason I stopped playing WoW :crybaby:

I use to play neopets when it started. I lost that account years ago. But I use to remember when Faerie and Baby were THE colors for pets and draiks were creatable.

I play now as sort of a economy sim like a bigger version of the game Lemonade Stand (or am I the only one who remembers that game??). I like getting trophies, but mainly love having a store and RSing. I use to legit RS way back in the beginning and then it was easier. So now I just AB it and enjoy it.

As for WoW I use to like it before there was a huge emphasis on raiding and not so many 11 year olds thinking they can 'pwn' anything.

I still play WoW, but on a private server. I actually only started playing toward the end of BC, though.

I started playing Neo about 8 years ago, before Draiks and Ixis were even created. :)

Call me an old fashioned sentimentalist, but I actually like my pets. They're cool colors, and I enjoy putting clothes on them.
I have a classic neohome I fill with a bunch of crap.
I've recently completed my seashell collection.

I don't think you're old fashioned or a sentimentalist. I genuinely adored my pets before my main was unfairly iced. Now I cheat. ^_^

I don't like customization, but that's just me.

I've been playing since 1999!!! They say once you do something for 30 days it becomes a habit. I've been doing it for... 3600 days!!

For me now, I mainly play Neopets for hoarding neopoints, in hopes of one day starting up a neopets selling site. (got a domain already) but no use for it. so figured I might as well work for something for it.

Wouldn't say if it wasn't true, and why do you care with what I do with my life?

Because of my friends there.

I fucking hate TNT and the retards that run amok on the site, but my ePals and the pet I spent years training mean a lot to me.

the feeling of hoarding virtual credits that have little worth IRL makes me feel so happy...

Because I've been playing since 2000 and it's one of my strongest habits.
Because pets are cuter than on other sites and I wouldn't have the patience to start any other game at this age, but I do need some daily means of wasting time.

Because its something to do in between classes, or at the moment, winter break. There is always something that could be done while on like play games or RS, so its a time killer.

I'll second that one; it's the biggest time-suck I've ever found... Well, legal, anyway. LOL
