LillytheGrundo Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 So I hit ten years on Neopets this week. :-) All I did was click on a banner ad ten years ago and tell some friends who also still play. If someone had told me when I first started that I would become totally addicted and play for years and years I would not have believed them. But here I am! lol And better for it I think. Woo!! Sorry if this doesn't make sense. I have a wicked bad cold and the Dayquil has made me a little loopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrtbrk Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Many congrats on reaching 10 years!? What has been your favourite moment on Neopets?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillytheGrundo Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Thanks! I would have to say the day I finally had over one million Neopoints was the best. Closely followed by changing my Blumaroo into a Faerie Xweetok just last week or so. :-) I never really had enough time t participate in plots and things.

bhaal_ Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Congratulations! :D Incidentally, I am down with the flu as I'm reaching 10 years, myself. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillytheGrundo Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Thanks! And ya... I've been sick for over a week now. But, YAY ten years! So insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhaal_ Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Hey, I've been sick for a week now, too - this must surely be a conspiracy! :O Seriously though, I do hope you get well soon. As for me, I'm only up at this hour because my coughing kept me awake. ^^; Ten years! :D It is pretty crazy, isn't it? I just wish I'd understood plots and stuff earlier than I did - honestly, I didn't get seriously into Neopets until my eighth year or so? So I've missed SO MUCH stuff! Ah, if only one could go back in time... Only ten days off from exactly ten years, btw. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillytheGrundo Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 I wish I had been more involved in Neopets back in the day too! Or just threw everything I ever got in my SDB so I could sell in now! lol So many things that I sold back then are worth loads now. I kick myself sometimes... Boo hiss to being sick and not being able to sleep. That is SO miserable! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhaal_ Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Ah yes, absolutely. So much we could've earned! xD Yeah, I'm up again, still haven't slept a wink, and now it's actually early morning here. Night's almost over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppetelle Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Wow 10 years! Wow! I am nearly 6 years on neopets, I was sitting in my office one day and a colleague said, oh there's this site you will like, he doesn't play much anymore, but here I still am 6 years later! It's a very addictive game. Here's to another ten years for you :party: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngrace Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 been 'playing' since april 2001, but truthfully have gone on LONG (3-4+ year) hiatuses throughout. can't imagine actively playing for 10 years! big congrats! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tedhaun Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 My account is almost 10 years as well (same with Spritzie's as well, though I started a little under a month before she did). Also, congrats on having a 10 year account! You will be able to do more transfers (6 incoming, and 6 outcoming). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxen Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Wooo congrats!! :D I've been playing on and off for 11 years but my current account is only almost 6. I love the 10 year shield, so purdy <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillytheGrundo Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Haha! Thanks guys! Um, is there seriously no party smiley? :party: That guy will have to do! Yeah, I'm up again, still haven't slept a wink, and now it's actually early morning here. Night's almost over. I've decided the best part about Neopets and TDN is talking to people from all over the world. Hope you feel better soon! Here's to another ten years for you :party: Another ten years!? I can't even fathom that! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Wow. Congratulations! :) That's quite an achievement. I'm about 2 weeks off from the 7 year mark- and I can't believe my account is that old. I was pretty young when I started playing as well, probably had just gotten an email account! My oldest account will be 8 in about 3 months- but I no longer have access. I feel like I had an account prior to that one as well- but I'm not sure. I sympathize with wishing I understood the plots and got into things sooner- there are many avatars and expensive items I can't have now! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leedom111 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Congrats! :D I had no idea I'd be here for this long either XD It really is an addiction, I think... I can't even rationally explain why I love Neopets so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Congrats! :D I had no idea I'd be here for this long either XD It really is an addiction, I think... I can't even rationally explain why I love Neopets so much! Yes. Yes. Yes. It's like...I procrastinate on doing other leisurely activities by playing on Neopets! I just love it so much and I'm not sure why! #addiction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LillytheGrundo Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 It is indeed and addiction! And when I try to explain it to people they just don't understand. Thankfully TDN exists so we cam all chat about our daily routines and goals. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrystar Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Wow congratulations! A decade is a really long time and congrats on the new shield! I can't wait until I hit the 10-year mark in 3 months' time myself. It is indeed and addiction! And when I try to explain it to people they just don't understand. Thankfully TDN exists so we cam all chat about our daily routines and goals. :-) I agree with the fact that most people don't seem to understand us Neopets addicts. I've heard so many comments along the lines of "Oh that's so childish!" that I don't really tell anyone that I play Neopets anymore, unless they are my close friends.

CrazyBiscuit Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Congratulations on reaching the 10 year mark! Like some of you I'm a bit of an old timer (although I have taken breaks here and there), but I also wish I'd got more involved with things while they were around. Ah well, we live and learn!
