Started in 2004, when I got my very first computer. I was super excited to get it mainly because I wanted to play neopets.
Been on and off over the years. Still have access to my first acct and everything, but I'm on my second main acct.
I miss the old days a lot, customization still looks stupid as hell to me. When I see wigs on pets I cringe a bit haha. Usually I dress my pets up with a few bangles/wings/bgs/whatever though, but I'd rather have UCs. Unfortunately I wasn't around when the whole change happened
Neopets is pretty special to me though, so I guess thats why I keep coming back. It's basically whats responsible for me going into programming, and it sparked my art interest a lot as a kid. Sad to see that its not doing too well anymore :c
