I played for several years, luckily finding my way here and merging my love of cheesy games and poking stuff. I recently logged into one of my close-to-legit accounts, to fool around, and didn't find much to hold my sway. I asked myself, "Is this growing up? Do I need some Zoloft?" No desire: to raise a pet, play the market, make a house, certainly to play a Flash game, or really much of anything. Perhaps, the guilds or the community would offer something, but I feel jaded; after social networks appeared, most internet communities became pretty bleak to me.
Anyway, while fun, the question isn't about existential crisis, the meaning of play, etc. Why do you play Neopets? What all do you get out of it?
