i've been to a couple of completely different forums, and there's always a post about neopets!
i've been playing for about 68 months i think it is now, may 2001 i think i started.
i do the dailies every day, and i also have lab ray access, so i zap my lab rat daily. also play bullseye every day. i make my money by selling stuff i win from the dailies, and by selling a scratchcard that i buy every 6 hours (i manage 3 a day)
have also started again with the stock market. i buy the limit of 1000 whenever a stock is at minimum price of 15np (those who don't know, you can't buy any stocks that are less than 15np per share) and i sell them whenever they are above 20np. sometimes i hold out for more, though.
it can be quite addictive, especially since i found out about the avatars. i'd taken a break of a couple of years, and missed SO much! prices of everything had went up dramatically, mainly because of certain avatars.
i have done my best to collect the avatars, it's mostly the gaming avatars i'm stuck on. some of the scores needed for the avatar are just ridiculous.
so i reckon i'm only on neopets for about an hour a day. maybe it's not that addictive now! hahaha
