brandongamer Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 So, we all mistakes sometimes, but what are some of your biggest mistakes you've made on Neopets? Was it getting scammed? How about CGed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_gnorbu Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Investing in items to resell it later for a higher price, but de price dropped dramaticly. Loss about 300K, so not really a big deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Octopus Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Going on hiatus for two years. I thought I was quitting Neopets for good and spent all 2M of my Neopoints on gifts for my NFs. If I hadn't left I would've gotten 10M by now, not to mention I have to trade for a bunch of NC mall items that retired while I was gone :P.

StarryEyed502 Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Selling my MSPP card for 200k 7 years ago (is it really that long?!) :( I could be loaded now! lol I also took a break and if I hadn't I could have a very different account.

Manta Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 I lost a darigan petpet PB by accepting an offer of 150 nps when i asked for 150k...other than that I haven't done anything too awful on Neo other than taking hiatuses and missing cool things. Trading away my faerie xwee might've been a mistake though, as he was one of my favorite characters...But now the value of faerie pets are way down, and I have a RG kacheek, so i guess it turned out ok :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornflakes Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Giving away my old account. It's 9 years old now, and no one is using it. It's just sitting there, rotting, with retired avatars. Sigh...it's like, derp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmichael Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Self-freezing my biggest/oldest account :grrr: :sad01_anim: I only froze it because I told on the boards I was giving away 30k but then I didn't want to. I was so guilty I did it. I was 9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alice ☮ Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I sold a 100 Dubloon Coin for 100NP on trade, I accidentally accepted the stupid offer >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was so guilty I did it. I was 9. lol..i miss being a child and feeling guilty about weird things like that when i was really young on my old account, i really wanted this petpet but it was like 25k and i was REALLY bad at games (and on dialup)..so after awhile i saved up like 50k and wanted to get it but i got so discouraged because i had saved up for so long and was going to spend half of it that i quit and never got back onto neopets until like ..7 years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spirit_ofyour_soul Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Biggest mistake would be when I quit playing back in 2004 and I gave away all my paint brushes, had a whole arm load of them, and I random neofriended a bunch of people and put them up in 1 NP auctions for NF's. Now all those players are inactive and I don't have any PB's and hardly any NP, so I have to start all over again... pfft, silly decision but at least this is only a game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

picky_nut Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 Stopping playing for a year and a half, then getting a mail about my account was going to get purged, and not knowing what it meant... I though it was a bug and ignored it... And I lost my account... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parry Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I sometimes get a bit too over-confident in the stock market, and I end up loosing big money. Once, on my old account, AAVL went up to 72NP per share, but I risked it and held on, and the price dropped to 68NP =( I wasn't taking any more risks so I sold some of my shares, and then as it turns out, the stock went up again to about 74NP. That's only one of the many times I've made a stupid risk *headdesk* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yozora Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 1) When I first played neopets, I was cheating kid and helped raid accounts of people. Some Guy would use the log in trick and then give away people's account info in that chat. While I wasn't exactly the one stealing the account, i was just as guilty for pillaging it. 2) Never changing my password. I think this was just desserts here. Someone a few weeks ago guessed my easy password and I haven't been able to access my account since. I send Neopets a ticket but lol if they'll ever respond. Not too torn up about it, it just is one of those "man that stinks" moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitheXweetok Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 I have not made big mistakes. Biggest one: Sold an Eo Codestone that I got for free for only 7k instead of 8-10k. Lol no really big mistakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_gnorbu Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 What items were you investing in? Mainly items from the advent calender. I expected a low price (big supply of people selling soon) in the and an increase of price in the years aftwards, but somehow the opposite happened. Probably because a lot of people had the same thoughts (big supply, but an even bigger demand)... :P Learned my lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haedder Posted February 4, 2011 Share Posted February 4, 2011 On my old account when I played at about age 12 I left myself logged in on the family computer. My horrible little sister raided me and my parents were all "So, it's just a game." She loved the risky games and lost all my hard earned neopoints (I'm a MAJOR neopoint hoarder too).

Raku Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 My friend and I didn't bother to read the rules when we first came to Neopets... And we both got our accounts frozen. :P I think we helped each other a bit too much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angeló Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 i made the mistake of refreshing a bit too much for the Snow Beast Battledome challenger ... and TNT froze my account ... which had a werelupe (before the Neopets 2.0 so that makes it UC) and a ring of the lost worth 13 millions .. amongst other amazing items that break my heart to even remember however, it wasn't entirely my fault .. TNT were on one of thier freezing frenzies ... and that made me lose it and leave neo for 2 and a half yrs ... and i missed 2 plots (the dr sloth one and the tale of woe) some other mistakes include losing NP's stupidly .. like bidding 100k on a plushie baby pb bcz the seller tricked me into believing it's a baby pb (i was able to resell it for 60k so my total loss was 40k) .. selling some codestones for 1np when i thought i was removing them from my shop while actually i was pricing them ... buying some false-inflated wearables etc. ........ but nothing too big ...

I never knew refreshing was a problem on Neopets - we used to do it all the time when we were in the shops, sometimes we got RS banned too.

Tank Girl Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 Giving away my old account. It's 9 years old now, and no one is using it. It's just sitting there, rotting, with retired avatars. Sigh...it's like, derp. Can't you do that thing where you send them an e-mail like you said on a different page?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornflakes Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 haha, tried that -- I have no idea what old email address I used on that old account, and I'll bet a shiny quarter that it's an email account that I don't even have access to anymore anyway. :sad02: But thanks for the idea.

Tank Girl Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 :( that's a shame. I've got an old account with loooads of stuff on it. I tried to access it a little while ago but hotmail had deactivated the e-mail I was using so it was pretty much impossible to get the account back. Neopets weren't the biggest help in the world either. I recreated the exact same e-mail but they wouldn't send me my info again. I bought a Robo Acara to get the 'Robo' avatar then realised I didn't have a classic neohome anymore so it was a waste of money. If anyone wants it it's still in my trades, taunting me :angry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
