Choosing Your Neopet: More Important Than You Might Think by Justin

Do you have a neopet? If you don’t you should.

Neopets offer companionship and loyalty, something humans aren’t 100% capable of.

Owning a Neopet gives a person a sense of respect for all the non-human critters out there, regardless of what they own.

If you live alone, playing with your neopet is a great way to unwind at the end of the day or if you have a family, owning a neopet sets guidelines of responsibility for the young.

At the end of the day, having a neopet is always fulfilling.

Choosing a neopet can be a difficult process.

By choosing a neopet, one must have the appropriate amount of time, a strong budget, and be able to spend enough time with the neopet.

Neopets: How Much is Too Much? by Shoyru_Lover

The eternal question no doubt (actually not really, but it makes good conversation!!). How much Neopets is too much and is it really good for you?

I once chatted with a lovely girl called Kaorichan and, after a while, the topic of “How much time do you spend on Neopets” popped up. After careful prodding and prying, Kaorichan mentioned once speaking to a man who told her he spent on average about 13 hours a day on it. The response, “Hello! Wake up, have a shave and brush your teeth!” seemed to be on both our minds.

While the example above is an example of someone who clearly spends too much time on Neopets to the point where it is unhealthy, I’ve witnessed some people who are absolute fanatics about the game to the point that it scares me, even more than Cruella Devil on 101 Dalmatians (she did a real good job of terrifying me).

Memoirs of a Kadoatie by Gracekiggs

As you all know, I am a Kadoatie. Yes, I am one of those cat-like animals that people dote on just to get dumb sparkly trophies or shiny avatars. I am not really loved, except for the day my life began!

Squeals, pokes, screams, laughter, resonated throughout the room the day I was bought. “How cute is he!!” blurted out from my foster mom. Rhythmic noises soothed me while I was glared at. I was only given attention to until I was assigned to this giant creature. As I listened, I learned more and more. When I was 30 days old, I found out that the creature’s foster mom was a human, that the being was a Chia, I learned how to talk and understand mouth motions and sounds, and how to survive off of what little we were fed.

Give Your Common Neopet a Chance by Cameron

In a growing trend that has been around since the early days of Neopia, we seem to have lost our memories or experiences of our very first neopet.

You know? The ones we created, The ones we named, The ones we just knew were the ‘coolest’. Needless to say these pets were probably among the most common.

Of course in life we are always left wanting more, this time fueled by the beautiful, elite and stronger looking neopets badged ‘limited edition’ and ‘restricted’. At the time we weren’t even really sure what this meant, We did know, however that we had to get our hands on them.

Going For What You Want by Kayla

I have been on Neopets for five years and have had many accounts hacked into and things like that. Neopets has frozen my accounts and little things like that. It is tough to get through it all, really you just have to brush it off your shoulders and make a new account. Make it the best there is if you really want to show how much you love and are mad at Neopets, if that makes any sense. For the people out there with goals on Neopets, fulfill them. Don’t take like five years to do it. Go on every day and earn over 10,000 neopoints a day! It is really easy if you set your mind to it. Neopets is fun, and it should be REALLY fun, but when the newbies or NOOBS come in, it is still fun because they are just trying to figure out WHAT to do.
