A year later, I'm still religiously doing my dailies and playing actively.


Whoaaa...that's how I started Neopets too! (...except I was in middle school and didn't have work)

Likewise, I was part of a Sailor Moon community near the end of elementary/beginning of middle school and I loved invading the chatrooms. One day, there was this chat about Neopets, and I checked it out and got hooked. I WOULD have a 6+ year old account by now, but I got scammed last year and had to start a new account.

Hmm back when I was 11 years old, my older cousin showed me her account, and then I signed up myself not long after :)

I was playing Cartoon Orbit (if anyone remembers that / played that) in middle school and was part of a group that also played Neo.. so they got me hooked. Orbit then went bye-bye so I just devoted my time to continue playing this instead :)

My old next door neighbour used to play, alongside my brother. We didn't have the internet back then, but erm, eventually, when we did, on one boring weekend, I got hooked. I don't play regularly these days, but am happy I joined. :)

In 2002 (when I was 4 and living in Singapore,) I went over to my friend's house. I saw his sister playing on this 'colourful site' and decided to insist to her to sign me up. I've been playing Neopets ever since although I have had breaks.

I was doing work study in my College Library and one of the students who was working with me was playing it on her computer. I thought it looked interesting and made an account myself. I think that happened somewhere like 2001 maybe even 2000. I have a pretty old account.

I remember they didn't even have maps for all the areas and you could even draw one up and send it in. I made up a cloud faerie realm pic lol I still wonder if that's why they put the faerie's in the clouds to this day.

Anyway I don't play as much as I use to but I still collect interest every now and again and keep my pets fed. I just take my spells :)

Why did you type Neopets out of the blue, if you don't mind me asking? I just find reading all the different storys very interesting, and I admit yours puzzles me.

As for me, a friend told me over ICQ. I asked her what she was doing, and she said playing Neopets. I had already read about the Neopets TCG in a magazine, but it had not impressed me back then. I just figured I would give it a try, though, because I thought that it couldn't be that childish if she was playing it :)

i got a spammity mail from somebody that i went to check out. it seemed like an intresting site so i tried to find a way to join without crediting the spammer. once i figured that out i found the site pretty bare... just the carnival thing and a shelf with like 2 games on it. XD i left for a while then came back and played. left again came back again. i do my dailies now but mainly just play on subeta or facebook. XD

I cannot for the life of me remember. It's been so long I've forgotten.
