I don't actually 'play' anymore. It's just not the same as it used to be. But I've been inspired to try and get back all the stuff I used to have, which is something to pass the time. But then it'll just be a bunch of stuff for me to hoard and look and and be all, mmmm stuff.
Spend my time in something "not bad", and also some kind of nostalgic feeling because i've played since 2006
Basically for me, I've played ever since I was a little kid, and I was always drawn to games like such. I got addicted, and the addiction never went away, haha!
Sometimes i become bored of stuff and then i "play" Neo. I think the concept of "hack" like me. Is interesting.
Honestly, neopets doesn't take up that much time. The first reason to play is that there is very little reason *not* to.
I've been on and off. Before a few months ago I didn't go on my account for like 4 years. I guess the fun of making NP keeps bringing me back... I also love how the site has a GIANT variety of items that you can collect.
I play because I want to build an account with 4 really nice expensive pets, great customization, a cool petpet gallery and awesome battledome items plus some trophy rows.
