I know Neopets is a pretty good game - and some people have quit and moved on, but what makes you continue to play Neopets? Is it the games? The plots, or?

[shadow7452]

The Battledome, The Battledome Chat, my guild, and my friends.

[Information]

The Battledome... (I really like the plots too - my girlfriend got me into Neopets, and it is really fun competing with her)!
The Boards, just to laugh at folk.
...AND to make lots of neopoints!

[Sammiantha]

At this moment in time I'm not really sure... it used to be customisation but now I've discovered UC pets I may well need new focus!

[AyoForYayo]

It's more entertaining than watching tv imo.
I just play when I'm home instead of watching Jersey Shore like some other people do or playing CoD

idk~

[Islane]

I don't know. I like the site, collecting neopoints, collecting pretty items that are just pixels. A lot of games available for when you are bored

[jcrdude]

One important reason: Codex and all the people I have met here.

[Kido]

^ What he said. Plus neo is good in that there's all sorts of things to do. I can collect pets, stamps, cards, gallery items and train my pets so I don't really get bored of it as fast as other sites

[Connery]

I've been asking myself that question for years. I've been playing this game on-and-off for ten years and don't really know why I still play. Old habits die hard, I guess. I'm sure I'll quit again for months or a year eventually, but having Abrosia definitely makes it easier to continue playing.

[Yac]

Mmm... well...before I used other to get a Krawk, it was the ultimate goal of getting a Krawk.

Now it's the ultimate goal of training him!

[MistressMezvers]

I really don't know. My hubby wonders the same thing. I've been playing on and off for 8 years. I don't know what keeps me there, but I like the site.

[Poptart]

I used to actually enjoy it a few years back. When it was easier to make neopoints and all the pets were so pretty (I loooove old greys). Now I just play it because I have way too much free time and I get bored really easily.

[Pirates]

I always enjoyed collecting neopoints just for the sake of having them. I like big bank accounts

[Frank12]

the game becomes so addictive because it allows for the possibility to continually succeed past a certain point, unlike most games in which you cap out or finish after a relatively short amount of time. In addition, it is difficult to succeed because you are pitted against others, not computers, which makes us want to win more

[ShinaDutchAD]

It's, honestly, a way for me to escape life.

I try to leave for a while, but I always seem to be drawn back.

Maybe it's just a comforting thing...since I've known this site it's whole life *sage nod*

[srtm]

the only reason I still play is to get more items for my gallery.
if a new fuzzle items comes out, I must have it!
childhood nostalgia.

How big is your gallery?

^^This. I love movies but I hate most of what's on tv.

Earning neopoiiinntsss~ *greedy greedy*
Naw, but there's always something that keeps me.. Whether it be earning neopoints for some far away goal, trading pets, battling, customizing..
There's always some big goal I can set and accomplish, which I love. (:

[Roxi]

1. It's addictive 2. Great escape from responsibility 3. You're never a nobody on neopets 4. I love playing with my boyfriend!!

[Dichromate]

Collect neopoints.
It's really all I'm here at all for.

[mysterybat]

I agree with Roxi XD that is addictive and I nearly play neo everyday ,except during my exams .

and meet lots of friends there that are from my same city ,we can communicate with each other even outside the site

[Dreww]

After all this time, it serves as a nice hobby when I'm not out taking photos. I find daily activities like rsing, battling and such to be relaxing.

[Perseus]

For the most part I've grown out of it, but I used to really enjoy the boards, avatar collecting, and especially the really difficult, puzzling plots ( like the Mystery Island one - that was seriously the coolest thing).

Now, just the stock market and the appeal of cheating, haha.

time killer / get away from the sad real life.
