Well i know a good friend trying to quit and i dont understand why they find it so hard...
what are your views on it?

[Kido]

there's nothing better to do. Hard to find a large, good, active virtual pet community like neo provides

[rizler]

yes but most people find it hard because of the social network right? and due to that they run off collecting avatars RSing etc so why not just get your friends who youd like to add you on MSN Facebook or what not and then you can quit neo even freeze your account and then just talk to them on there?

[Boggart]

I would've quit ages ago if it weren't for neocodex.

I keep hearing people talk about it, so I just get back into it.

[Scot]

I wish I could quit you

hmm... i was hoping for suggestions on how to quit rather then why its so hard to quit lol

[onlyme]

+rep for this masterpiece lmao!

well, neopets is a timeeating shit game without sense, so just delete your acc, cry a day or two and never start again. (hope that's what you wanted to hear, you're welcome!)

Oh lawd. hahahaha Next time TNT blames the meepits for something, it'll feel homophobic to me.

[zevrom]

Neopets is like the most addictive website, I also tryed quiting before but I didnt last more than 2 weeks

[Kuraz]

basically neopets has become a reason for me to go to the Internet everyday
it's hard to part with something you have been doing for ages

Not really. A lot of people avoid the boards and guilds and what not. I think what draws people in is that there's such a variety of things to do so you never really get bored of it. You could be collecting plushies one month and training your pet the other

because matthew perry is in my dreams tellling me to keep on keepin on.

[TokenFembot]

Why would I need to quit? Neo only takes up like 15 minutes of my time every morning. Or maybe a couple hours, if I feel like snarking the trolls on the HC for a bit. (Catharsis!)
Maybe if I didn't use Abrosia, Neo would actually take up more of my time. But legit RSing is for lesser beings, who do not see the beauty in not having to manually refresh ten million times a day.

And, once again: if you have the knack of it, Neoboards trolls are so much fun to toy with.

i "quit" playing for almost 1 year... then one day decided to look back into my account.. and saw how many plot events i missed.... and the rest was history...

[HeavenNEarth]

Would have quit if not for neocodex.

[CJames]

Would have quit if not for neocodex.

lol.. most of us are due to this...

The hardest part of quitting neopets is that.... You can't win no matter how hard you try or cheat. It's a constantly evolving clusterfuck.

[CJames]

i think its just the same as facebook games... first you start with one game.. after a while you get bored and you continue with another.. the difference is.. neopets consist of a whole lot of activities... maybe you aim to get lots of np.. then at one point you feel bored.. then you decide to spend it.. and then you feel broke and missed having billions.... and the cycle repeats!...

[rizler]

well i do spend more time on Codex then on neopets
I quit world of warcraft never thought id do that, was quite hard but randomly one day i just didnt play and it followed been about over a year now
hope the same hapens with neo tbh
