yeah see the thing is its all about percentages, right now you interest is minute, and that's why its not that big of a deal, adn if you have a billion np then what is even the point of collecting interest? Im pretty sure you can just buy everything you want anyway, and the amount you get from interest is still the exact same percentage you were getting before so it is just as minute, if not more because now the number is completely insignificant compared to what you have already

I found out that the more you have the less things you think there are to spend your NP on.
When I had just a few millions all I used to think about was to complete my stamp albums, get my dream pets, build an avatar/MP, PB gallery. When I finally looked at my bank account I realized I could have everything I lost interest in getting it, because I made tons of accounts to get quest cookies to win FFQ and make my dreamies, in those accounts I won tons of PB/MP to put on my main gallery, several years of ABing and RE gave me the stamps... Nowadays, and despite the fact I still need tons of stamps, I have way too many NP but no urge at all to spend them. I just like to look at my bank thinking about the times I was newbie and had less than the interest I collect today.
So, you see, having millions and millions is not that amazing.

 

 

 

I remember clearly that in the past.... everyone was fight to SHOW-OFF their stuffs but now did they still doing ah? Hahaha!

 

 

In the epic thread last Sept/Oct, I mentioned this fact. Many will get frozen trying to sell dupes asap. Clever users will survive if they ignore dupes for 6months ~ 1 year. Half of these survivors will quit shortly after the safe period, because there isn't anything to work for anymore.  Got too rich, too quick.

 

 

Yea.... most of them leaving this forum after DUPE DAY....... sighs!

I tried to understand what you meant by that, but I failed.

Sorry. I got drunk now..... what i meant is once dupe day is over.... alot of members are leaving this forum.

This is true. And this was the case for me since 6 ~ 7 years ago. ^^ Back then only 3 items were out of reach for me, other than those one of a kind and NFS obviously. I started towering Baby PB every few days with my bank interest. The amount I currently have in my SDB is ridiculous, lol.

I held onto my dupes until a couple of months ago when I started moving them around. Still not iced and I believe I won't be because of it, unless I decide to do something stupid like flaunting it on the neoboards or put them in TP/AH, which I will never do.

Do you get drunk often? And I was referring about your answer to my post, but nevermind, it's not important

Wouldn't it be cool if you had enough interest to just regularly splurge on random stuff such as the WoE and random donations for giggles? I mean, its easy to make nps with abers, but it can be hard sometimes due to dry seasons. I can definitely have some fun with a 100k interest, for instance.

I agree to this, I have all my dream pets and bd set on my old account and I became so bored of neo that I decided to quit a few years back. Came back after a few years and decided to start over on a fresh account instead. Though it can be frustrating sometimes, at least I still have goals to achieve

[Coops]

It was. Basically you just go along with everything TNT says. If someone on the boards says they did something wrong, you defend them, and I guess then report that user for "spreading lies about TNT". (I actually got a warning about that once when I mentioned on the boards that neopets has been hacked before). You try and tell everyone on the boards about the rules if you think they broke one. Basically, you pretend to love TNT and become their public defender. Or something like that. 

 

There was a user called "featheralley" at one point who was a TNT favorite.

That article also explains about Ad0 and how he hacked neopets once upon a time. 

Featheralley wasn't actually a favorite. She was a moderator for TNT. She abused the fuck out of the admin panel and gave herself shit. As confirmed, in Donna's Reddit AMA. By the time Donna and Adam realized, it was too late. She and other moderators had abused it. Not sure the rest of the details, as Donna didn't really explain it all.

It's the expectation that we build up in our minds. Once we actually get there, it's not that great because we built our expectation up to be far greater than reality. The key is to try to be mindful and aware of your expectations about something. Not just digital currency.

WOW! I don't know featheralley is a MOD for TNT till now.... i thought he/she was just a person who play for neopets only. Hahaha!!

I think it would be boring to have that much to spend, but a few millions would be fun. After all, we all seem to persue infinite NP but once we obtain that, it gets boring
