The reason i started back up playing neopets is diablo 3 is coming out and with a huge trading system in the game im totally out of the loop. I didnt get into beta so i need to brush up on some trading. And it came to me that neopets has a wicked trading system kinda like d3 will. Soo here i am brushing up on trading skills. watching learning yadyadya.

but im curious to know why other people still play???

    You don't trade, it's an Auction House, you bid on stuff like any other Auction House, I don't think you need Neopets to help you with that. Posted Image

    Also, I don't play Neopets.

    I don't have a spesific reason, i just enjoy playing it. If i feel that i don't enjoy, i just don't play. Simple, isn't it?

    its more or less of just getting back into Auction trading yes sorry my bad, But quick buying/selling for a profit is what ive been messing around with. Plus i have fun just posting trades aswell.
    and actually yes it does take time to learn. if it was so easy we wouldnt need Neocodex for everyone. im assuming d3 will be much harder to use autobuyers. but if one come around Im IN

    It makes me feel adequate although in retrospect the opposite occurs. Truth.

    Real reason: I must master the art of trolling with the challenge of filters.

    Considering the only benefit of using the Auction House is to earn a few bucks, it really isn't worth it when Blizzard and Paypal throw so many fees in your face during your transfer process that you're left with a small fraction of what you actually earned.

    Because I like seeing big numbers in the bank, whether it's virtual or real currency.

    In this case, it's virtual. Posted Image

    Because I made some friends there and learned HTML and other online stuff thanks to the site. I feel I should stay for some reason. :p

    Also I like to collect avatars.

    I actually have no idea why the Hell I play Neopets. It's a pointless, complete waste of time.. But it's got me! It's sucked me in! I don't even have any goals on it anymore.. *feels pathetic now :(*

    I'm like a mix of all you guys. I play to wait for Diablo 3, to procrastinate, and to fulfill and old childhood dream.

    Because if I would not play neopets I would still not know how to tell someone my age or name in English. In other words basically to practice English a lot.

    Avg. night on the town: $20-50.

    Avg night on neopets: free.

    Plus my favorite club in providence just shut down, and the only local clubs are hit or miss. I end up hitting the bar on average once or twice a month.

    Also, I started playing a few years after it came out, so I'm something of a lifelong player. My childhood goal was to have kickass pet/BD set, which now-a-days is a lot more expensive than it used to be....

    Procrastination, time waster at work, obsession with drawing neopets, I find ABing and playing the market interesting.

    I also really love playing pterattack and meerca chase. o 3o
