    It's mostly a habit tbh, my account is so older and i've done so many plots and stuff it feels a waste to not be on it.

    Mostly because I like running the au and seeing what I got. But I've recently gotten into avatar collecting and I am rather attached to finishing my gallery of lollypops.

    Yeah my first neopets account got frozen for no reason. I was pissed off. I tried to fight it but no use.

    Now i just play for the games when im board, and do the daily s to see if i get any neopoints. I dont have the time to play neopets anymore so I found this place to start cheating.

    edit: oh I also love collecting the stamps !!!

    I play neopets because it gives me a reason to draw 83; Sadly, I don't really have many friends there though..

    That's really about the only thing I have instore for this game. A collection is kinda safer because unless something major (like the new old-acct-perk) happens in order to demolish the prices of certain items... You can always re-sell and get something else, but then again, that happens with most BD gear too. Odds are you wont lose much on expensive items as they don't generally mass-stock or get Tarla'd.

    For me it's BD items and a strong pet. Currently my set is worth over 100 mil and I've only spent about 70 on it or so, but prices have since increased so... Bonus for me :p

    After being frozen unfairly many times, I might as well cheat if I'm going to get frozen anyways xD And hopefully make some money while I'm at it.

    I used to play it cause I was addicted to Neopets, a couple years ago. Now I do it just to relieve stress. But ever since my main got frozen unfairly, I started cheating. :) So far only 2 accounts iced since i was a newbie cheater back then. Now I'm smarter and I know what to do. ;D

    it sounds like most people end up cheating after being unfairly frozen. TNT is really shooting themselves in the foot

    Because I can't break old habits xD

    I guess it's to pimp out my neopets and to become rich enough to buy stuff I want? :lol:

    I have to admit though.. I'm still pretty addicted to Neopets. I still remember my main goal when I first started playing Neopets, which was to get the I-Staff. I was so close near the beginning (a couple years after Neopets was created), but then I was frozen unfairly. It's still my goal and I will get it whether it's legitimately or illegitimately =P

    I don't know, ever since my main that i worked extra hard on got frozen, I really lost the spark to actually play legitimately. Lol, Neopets did this to themselves. I'm thinking that they actually think it's funny to freeze people for no reason or because they believe this and that, just because they have the power to. Then they wonder why people cheat. o__o

    an interesting theory, to be sure. I wouldn't even put it past them, although it is unlikely

    I think I just like the cheating part tbh lol...there'd be no way I would still be playing if I wasn't making money through programs and such. I also like investing in items, just to see if I can get rich quick(never happens =P)

    I've actually stopped playing since my last freezing(s). At one point, I played because I really did have fun, and enjoyed the novelty of it. Then I went to greenland because I accidentally said a naughty word. Not a terrible loss, but for the sentimentality: it was my first account, I actually felt fondness for my pet, and most of the rare items I'd acquired had been gifts. So I quit for a year or so while I persued other pastimes, I got really into gaia while I was off of neo. Then I switched back again. Started up a replacement account and made it my ultimate goal to collect every item that took my fancy. About the time I got onto the cheating scene, my SDB was worth millions. And then I made the mistake of AB'ing on my main, and it all slipped through my fingers. I think it took that, then another two or three freezings to make me realize how much it's changed since back in the day. It used to be a fun time waster for bored college kids, with crudely drawn art, and a quaint charm that made it fun to play. Now that it's gone to Viacom, it's all about money, the pets aren't cute or charming anymore, and the whole site just oozes something...corporate. So yes, in my musings and black market dealings, I will occasionally see something I used to possess and yearn for an age gone by... but at the moment, seeing the direction it's gone, I don't spend a fraction of the time on Neopets as I used to.
