You become premium user. You become NP. That is not a gift that is a one-time reward for becoming premium user. If it is a gift, then please give me the gift as well. Won't happen, unless [...].
To the GP who thinks this is a major issue. Its a game. GAME. Not life. Even if it were life, thats not always fair either nor are the rules in it. Live with it and whenever you feel being threated unfairly i suggest you learn from it. I played MTG and spend countless of time and money on it until i had a debt and a problem at school. You maybe heard stories about people playing RPGs all their life as well. Don't make a similar mistake.

They age I assume as we age, so the oldest I do believe a Neopet could be would be 7, and I don't think many parents would want their seven year old canoodleing with another kid that age or younger.
Why do you "assume as we do"? A kadoatie seems like a cat and a cat (or dog) doesn't get old. In order to get more cats or dogs magic things happen. Its typical American to care about such things, while all kind of violence (on Neopets, yes) is accepted to not hurt kids. I find it hilarious, laugh at it, but i hardly express the hypocracy and i am not saying it should be vice versa or sth. Then again a kadoatie isn't a cat, so you may indeed be right. The answer lies open for interpration.
