Only my roommate that decided out of the blue to play neopets for the first time and ended up sucking me back in after being clean for 3 years. And my boyfriend who i force to do all the events with me xD Other than that no one, and its definitely staying that way.

[revolverex]

lmao that made me lol, only a few of my peeps know i do this xD

I am on for about 12 hours a day. They have no idea. I live with my girlfriend and she has no idea. Last week, a friend of mine brought up Neopets saying he used to play alot when he was a kid, and he was rich (almost 100k). I just wanted to lay him out for being a n00b. I feel like a super hero hiding my identity. Who am I?

You neogot, come out of the closet!

I got my 19 year old brother to play.

I don't even really play Neopets. lol Just something to do when I have absolutely nothing else to do. I'm on the Codex forums more than on Neopets. The programs take care of everything. ^^

[Epidote]

I only play neopets when im bored and have nothing else to do. Everyone has something they do to kill time, no reason to share that guilty pleasure with friends. I'm sure my friends do things that I deem "stupid" so who cares.

[Turnip]

Heheh, all of my (five) in real life friends know I go on Neopets. And they all play too! Just not as frequently hehehh. I even got my fiance to start playing again B)

You should get your girlfriend to play as well! Chicks love cute little talking animals :3

[rraven]

heh! my friends know about it. at first some of them were mocking me and some others were like, 'yeah..they have loads of flash games', and then i made a couple of them join me. playing KQ with IRL friends is THE BEST EVER especially if you do it in the school library. lmao

[lluvia]

I live in a dorm and my entire floor knows I play a TON. XP One of my floormates showed me her old account. (Didn't have much but a mutant ixi.)
Some of them come in to tell me to get off and do my homework. I really should.

My parents blocked Neo again yesterday. Maybe I'll take a short couple-day hiatus and then go back. XP

[edichuela]

I used to think that my friends would laugh at me if they knew that I play neopets, but I told them and some of them joined me. My boyfriend know that I've been playing since 2005 every now and then he gains me some NP or buys me NC. Just tell them it could e a good thing

[Juize]

My best friend and baby mom know lol

[sLAUGHTER]

It is a very thriving relationship... maybe I could get her to play Neopets, then sell her my NP at ¥10000 per million.

...You want to sell YOUR GIRLFRIEND neopoints at what would be around 127 american dollars for one million neopoints?



Are you SURE you're not on drugs?

[ShinaDutchAD]

LOL everyone knows I play on Neopets.

Why should it be something that you're ashamed of? X3

[Tomo]

I'd honestly never tell my friends. It was hard enough telling them when I started playing MAPLESTORY again last year.

Oh gosh.

[netus]

I really am the only one who knows.

[yeah]

If somebody brings it up I usually say something along the lines of "oh yeah I played that game a lot when I was little. sometimes I still check on them, the baby pets sure are cute." That way if somebody there plays Neopets they've been given the alert I do too.
If it's a close/nerdy friend I'll admit I'm still on at least an hour a day
Just depends on the crowd you're with. Above all, have confidence when "coming out" lol. If they tease you and won't let it go, they're an insecure bag of dicks.
edit: I actually got caught playing it at school a couple weeks back. the reaction was actually "omg you play neopets?? I remember that game! woah, you're rich!" etc.

I go on Neocodex at school. My friend is always like "Oh my goodness, you're ADDICTED to your Neo whachamacallit site!!" xD

[Ladida]

My friends tell me I'm addicted all the time.. And I respond with a "YEAH!"

They don't bug me about it. They played Neopets at some point in their lives too, so it wasn't a big deal. But they think it's just one of my quirks to continue to play

[yeah]

I don't know why I keep coming back for more. It's all so repetitive and restricted. Maybe because I kinda feel like my pets are my kids x) Neofriends, too.

Yeah, I wonder why I'm somewhat addicted to it, too. I think it's for the Battledome AND I love the plots!

[March]

I say only tell them if they actually ask, or if its seriously bothering you. What's it to them anyway?

I started playing neopets again recently and I'm a sophmore in college, and I've actually convinced a lot of my friends to start playing with me again, LOL! Of course this is an art school so I guess "weird" things like that are way more common here...

[blacktar]

12 hours a day? thats a little bit much, i only do 2-3 hours per day on the internet at all. i dunno,

[Ilere]

Sounds like a thriving relationship.

LOL this!

[Formaldehyde]

Me neither. But I'm not really ashamed, it's just never popped up. If it does come out then I'll tell them, I wouldn't deny it.

[HuskySiberiano]

After I told my friends that with 18 years I watch MLP FiM, I seriously have no shame of telling anything.
Also, Neopets has a few really nice flash games

[baby0firefly]

haha i don't really care if anyone knows what games i play, i got a couple of friends that started playing round the same as me and they still do, one has the same guild she's made still up and running since then.
