[Hi!]

Just curious to know.

Because I was bored and wanted to kill time.

Because I was bored and wanted to kill time.

same same ^^ && the fact that i was 13 and had no life

[Nine]

My brother introduced it to me when I was 11 and for some reason I just like it. It kills time and stuff I guess.

[Hi!]

I started playing it because of those days the sun is so hot you can't do anything else except to immerse in your computer. Then I get addicted to it just like I get addicted to ALMOST anything else.

Ditto.

It was my first year of college, and I needed something to do. I'd left all my video game systems at home, you see. ;;

A friend on a Pokémon forum I used to frequent seven years ago showed me Neopets and made me sign up.

Took me a few months to figure out what everything did and where everything was, but now it's one of my addictions. xD

[Blizzard]

But the way I herd of it was in 5th grade, like when everyone played it and like I would get now and then, till like I grew up and really got into it.

[Hi!]

Cool. Nice to see all of you posting

[Sweeney]

I discovered it in 1999, the year after it came out. New gamez r funz.

[chalupabatman]

I started playing like 5 years ago. I didn't really know what to do so I got bored most of the time. Then I started to cheat like a year ago. It's funner than playing the old fashion way beacause you are constantly finding ways to outsmart the system.

[Blizzard]

Same here, I played in 5th grade but not as much as I got into neopets as in the 7th grade.

[footee]

Sad but true for me aswell

[phalkon]

i stumbled on it totally randomly... i wasn't really even that board.

one day, i had school off (i think i was in 10th grade?) and i just thought to myself "i wonder if there's anything called 'neopets'?"

turns out there was.

(yeah... anticlimactic)

[iNextGenWarrior]

I saw an ad on a website and stuff and then I started playing... I used to just play for the games but then I got introduced to RSing... How great it was... Then I found out about proggys... The best day of my life. Neocodex was actually the very first site that I found out about proggys. xD

[Sunset]

How: I typed up virtual pets for my cousins VERY STUPID project
Why: Clicked on neopets and started playing games when I was bored!

[Aerowyn]

I started playing neopets again after several years (I know lol)... I don't know how I got started on my VERY FIRST account... it was around for awhile but I got it frozen. >__< I am still a little sore over that.

I remember I started out, went to the pound, and adopted like, 4 pteris. I could never feed them and I didn't know anything about making money at the time so they were always dying. Ha.

Now I keep my pets nice and bloated all the time. :3

[tastyphoxette]

Do you feed them to excess? Or throw them in the Lodge like I do?

[phalkon]

i usually just feed them jellies and whatever shit i get from coltzan or the fruit machine.

i save my omelets for the next neo plot that has a famine sweep over the land.


IT'S COMING! STOCKPILE YOUR FOODS!!!

*runs away*

[Hazard]

Everyone in my school at the time was playing and i found it intresting lol

I don't believe you. Has that happened in the past?

[phalkon]

I don't believe you. Has that happened in the past?

no... but it would be a brilliant idea.

what if whatever was eating the giant jelly moved to the omelets too? and then it's offspring started eating other random foods from shops, and dice-a-roo, and all that shit... IT'S COMING I TELL YOU!! BE PREPARED!

[iargue]

Yeah. I needed to kill time as well, and this was the easiest way. I could go days without playing and not get messed up.

[Black Flame]

My friend got me into it about 4 years ago. I thought it was cool so I kept playing. Then he stopped, so I 'stopped'. In reality though, I kept playing, took a 6 month break after I was frozen, then came back to it.

[Gen]

I started 4 years ago, in my birthday, my cousin introduced it to me Played for 1 year, stopped, than I came back months later, stuck for 6 months byeeee!. Than I stopped for 6 months. Came back on 2006 and found codex, got frozen, but I didn't lost the will to play. Back at the start of 2007 I got frozen in a good account, I created another one and this got REALLY better, I had FQD,zdap, chokato, a draik, a royal/halloween/darigan krawk *O*. Yea I was all good. But than I overused one thing and got frozen, lost the will to play and came back now because of the Sloth Plot . No one but codex's members knows that Im playing again xD
