I play because I've known about Neopets for about 10 years of my life, but I haven't played consistently.

About a month ago or so the fan on my GPU (video card) ceased to function. As a result, whenever I try to run a graphically intensive program, my GPU overheats and causes my computer to restart.

This is actually quite a bitch because I can't play the minigames in Keyquest because my video card is not running at its capacity.

What's your reason?

    Why is there a cat smoking weed while giving the finger in your avatar?


    I'm glad you asked! This is in fact my favourite image!

    I love cats... I really love them! Favourite animal.

    I love weed... I really love it. Getting baked is my favourite activity.

    Now, I was thinking one day: what's the perfect image to represent myself to the world on msn, forums, games, etc.

    A weed smoking cat, great idea!

    So I went looking around for the perfect picture and I found this in less than 5 minutes.

    I love it, best picture ever. Been using it everywhere for over a year now.

    Nostalgia I guess, played it back in '01. Losing the password to an acc with an H4k helm is currently driving me to replace it. I loved that weapon. ):

    Out of bordum I guess.
    Brings back memories too.
    Too bad I can't remember my old account, even though it was hacked.

    This is one of the reasons I returned to Neopets after my GPU fan stopped functioning.

    I know the game through and through, I enjoy what it was even if things have moved on. I enjoy the fact that I can in fact do well legit, while having a rather large number of cheating resources available to me.

    Mostly it's the first one though. I enjoy it because it's familiar, and I know the ins and outs without even trying most of the time. I dislike learning new games, going to maplestory took a long time tongue.gif


    Yeh, I am the same way, I'd rather play something I know. I knew Neopets so this is why I chose it once more.

    I am not that familiar with the game though I found out, there's still so much I don't know.

    Some of these things include: auction sniping, avatar items, restocking, etc.

    So many things I have yet to learn.

    I don't really play anymore. Initially I played just to pass some time. Then I only played because I learned to cheat my ass off pretty efffectively.

    Because I have unresolved issues and feelings of insecurity stemming from my childhood. I use Neopets.com to resolve those issues.

    I like playing it because I like "taking care" of things. (Motherly instinct.) And uh.. I like working toward a goal and the sense of accomplishment (however pathetic it is) that I get from it.

    Some very interesting replies.

    @Will - That's pretty deep if it's true.

    @Amour - Lol, that's not very pathetic. I get the same feeling of self satisfaction.

    There's only one reason why I play neopets.

    It's because I can't quit it for more than 2 days. No clue why.
