    i remeber believeing playing games all day and earning 20k in a week was awsum and probably the quickest way to get an amazing paintbrush... that was back before the autobuying revolution and the birth of au XD

    The 1 that got me is the wishing well... I know people do actually get stuff, but it is a waste of time donating to it.

    I always edited the address bar to change the amount I donated. Too bad it never worked :(

    I think I used to believe that. I don't quite remember. But I did used to think using the Wishing Well would actually give me something.

    Lol. Not quite on topic, but: I remember having that RE of having lost everything but it being only a dream for the first time. I only read the first few words and started freaking out. xD;

    I believed other players when they said they would send me an expensive item if I donated np to them XD

    I wish I had known about the wishing well thing before they changed it.

    I thought that you just had to wait for the Fountain Faerie to get back her magic. I also thought that you had a chance to get a paint brush in the paint brush stalls/tyrannian styles/darigan minions places.

    OHH.
    I got chain mail once, you know, the 'send this message to 10 people and get 10 Paintbrushes!!!'.
    I actually believed it, and did it. Luckily I only got a warning. ;D

    I actually fed my neopets and healed them, no matter how expensive the medicine was. Also, in the beginning I bought expensive stuff for the snow faerie etc..

    I used to believe that the higher the amount of NPs you donated to the Money Tree/Wishing Well, the better the items you would get xD

    I believed the "Paste this message on blah blah blah and you'll find 10 different expensive PBs in your inventory" rofl..
    And I believed the Fountain Faerie was open at random times too.. Everytime I'd come online, I'd keep checking back & forth waiting for it to open xD

    i really believed that coltzan gave out 1 million nps at mid night and i would stay up and actually refresh for the time constantly to try and visit coltzan at exactly 12am.. (this was before when the time was in 'text' and you could only see it update when you refresh the page, im not sure when they actually switched the time to the current one though)

    Haha, I believed in the Coltzan thing too, but my timezone allowed to me stay up at 12am NST because it would be dinnertime in my country.

    Lol, I believed in pretty much everything that everyone posted above.
    The whole 1m in Coltzan's Shrine & the Fountain Faerie. I would literally sit in front of my computer for about 10 minutes refreshing at the Fountain wondering when the magic would go back to it.

    Hahaha :p This topic is hilarious!
    I also believed that whenever you got over 500 points from meerca chase (not II), you got a magical meerca plushie
    And I also believed that not playing/feeding your pets will kill them lol
