limitatiion

Yeah, I'm pretty much on the same boat. I still remember the username for my account from 15 years ago, unfortunately it's gone. I was too young to really understand how the site worked so I remember mostly playing the games and such, didn't really get too into making friends or joining guilds (anything social). I also realize that this game is meant for kids, but it seems like most of the community is above 18 years of age so it makes me feel less ashamed of playing again (I'm 24). It's nice to go through the site and get that hit of nostalgia. I'm not that really into the plot-related stuff since I'm not interested and I'm only really playing neopets while I'm at work and there's downtime. I guess what got me back into neopets is that it's browser based and is pretty easy to navigate (when there's no lag). I don't regret going back to it though, I hope I can get more involved into the community this time around and hopefully make some friends!

Surprisingly as young as I was I was able to really be involved in the more social aspects of Neopets, probably not equivalent to my maturity now, since I'm older but I learned through guild stuff how to organize stuff and be social online (and learn html/css). But yeah I noticed a huge chunk of people are now college-aged as opposed to a while ago! It's as if all at once we decided to play again lol. I'm definitely hoping to get involved in the community now that I'm a little bit more aware of how to do everything.

I'm the same.

I've been on and off hiatus since 2006 - every time I leave and come back major stuff has changed.

It is lonelier ... like you said, all of my neofriends aside from two have quit or self iced. But it's still a cute little site.

I used to be really into the social aspect - guilds, roleplaying, etc - and now I focus more on my Neopets and avatars and such.

 

The nostalgia is what keeps me coming back, no matter how old and out of the loop I feel. c:

Yeah, so many things have changed, but I'm still super nostalgic so that's what keeps bringing me back as well. I'm definitely more of a hermit than I was way back when because I'm more like you, focusing more on my Neopets and avatars. Guilds were basically my life on Neo years ago :laughingsmiley:

After looking around more at the site I realized there's actually quite a few people who seem to have taken hiatuses/breaks and more recently return to Neo! I'm curious to hear how other people felt once they returned.

I know one thing was that it was kinda sad seeing that most if not all my former neofriend's accounts had been deleted and those who's accounts were still up hadn't been on in years. It's just weird knowing that I'm still back years later so much older than before lol. I remember vividly how much I was involved in my guild at the time and all that other stuff. :')

Also I definitely feel like I missed out on a lot of plot-related stuff while I was gone haha!

What about you guys?

Hey welcome to TDN! I'm actually new to the forums as well and also returning back to Neopets after a long hiatus:) I see you have an interest in succulents and coffee like me B) *highfives*

It's so much better now I'm so happy! I'm just hoping they'll be able to fix all the other bugs on the site asap :laughingsmiley:

I had a "mega grilled cheese" - cheddar, provolone, a bit of goat cheese, pesto roasted tomatoes, avocado, and garlic butter on sourdough.

It was deeeeelicious

Thank you everyone for your fabulous welcomes :)

howdy, howdy, welcome to the forums.. yeah, bad time to return to neopets, but i sticking to it, so far..

just wondering why you want to switch mains- your older account has rare never again to be earned trophies, and you can make more nps on food club with an older account.. just my two cents.

Nice to meet ya! I mostly changed because I wanted to switch it up. In all my years of playing Neopets I've always just stuck with the same account and accomplished getting a lot of avatars and other stuff but it was so many years ago that trying it all again would be as equally as fun. Also rare trophies don't matter to me as much and I don't play food club! Plus I'm still going to keep my old account anyway:)

Hi Katy!! did you draw your profile image? It's very cool :) I was attempting a double major in painting and art history for two years but then life happened and I had to unexpectedly transfer schools and now I'm an art management major.

 

The lag right now is terrible. ugh D: I hope you'll bear with it until they can get their act together

Hi there!!Unfortunately no I did not:( but it's pretty isn't it?! And I'm sorry about the transferring thing, I'm actually in the midst of transferring schools as well unfortunately.

I'm sure I can have the patience to stand by while they fix everything! The only thing that's frustrating is the lack of petpages to code because I really wanted to make some layouts hahaha but oh well.
