Aaaah 1 year, but after that I played like many hours a day. But now I am just checking my shop and stocks and stuff

Probably a couple of months, I guess.

I've taken one three-and-a-bit year break... along with many week long breaks...

I joined in October 2000, played for a bit (was new to the whole interweb thing). Then I drifted away.
In November 2003 I spy someone in the IT room at school playing Neopets during the lunch hour, the bells of memory start a-tolling. I bring up the page and type in what I thought might be my username and password (it was the same as another site I was a member of)... BAM one 3 year-old account with some tasty things sitting in my inventory. :)

The only times I 'stop' playing is when on vacation and had no computer access.

Me too!! :roflol:

I've drifted a few times.

First time that I left Neopets on break (though it was unplanned... it just sort of happened) was after my first account got frozen for no reason. I was too angry to even consider being a part of Neopets still. The freezing happened when Neopets was on the Salem Freezing Trials, where they were just getting freeze-happy and abusing their power. Froze alot of good people. I stayed away for a good year.

Second break was another unplanned one, but not due to the action of Neopets. It was more like I just had other stuff I had to do that took priority. I was gone from neopets for about another year or so.

And I'm just returning to Neopets once more after being away/forgetting about it in the past six months, from which I've been busy with school and work. I'm not sure how I got the urge, but I was sitting today and just though, "Hm... I wonder how my Neopets account is doing."

Logged in, and remembered my account here so I returned to PPT as well, and am slowly bringing it all back together again. :-)

Been a member since August 6, 2000. So my account's nearing the 6 year mark. I played for maaaybe 1 year while I was still in elementary school. Then I moved north and left it for a long time. I just came back in January/February. So ..nearly 5 years break.

I've only taken "breaks" that were due to vacationing.

Fri Mar 31, 2006 4:32 am

I tend to drift away from time to time. Longest was about 11 months or so..from the end of an advent to the start of the other ;)

I started playing in 2002 when my friend introduced Neopets to me ... after three months, took a break and went to study. In 2004, when it was the streaming year to get into good schools ... I went back to Neopets and drove my mom nuts. Been on NP ever since.

With demands from school and other things, I really lost the time to play, so I've had a few breaks that were about a year or so.

Sun Apr 09, 2006 1:10 am

I started playing in 2001, but I know I've taken about a year or so break this past year, simply because it was getting boring and there were too many changes. (It's becoming too corporate now x_x)
