Koralis Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 So far, I seem to be the only one who is actually around the age the site is aimed at :P I'm 13 and have been playing since I was 8 or 9 years old. Well I think for a lot of people they did start playing at the age "the site is aimed at" but they never stopped and since Neo has been around for over a decade many are well into their 20s now. As is the case for me, I started playing at 11/12 and now I'm 24. However, I heard somewhere that the site was created with the target of 'bored college kids' in mind, so if they latched on to that demographic initially as well, those people would be in their 30s by now. And with young kids (who maybe weren't even born when Neo was launched) discovering it all the time, there's going to be players of all ages for years to come.

haedder Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I discovered neopets when I was really young and it first came out. I remember the morbid little sky lodge mystery. I lost interest and didn't play again until university during the time I shoud have been studying for exams :rolleyes_anim: I'm 25 and my boyfriend definitely teases me about it, but affectionately. I played it way too much for awhile (some of you may remember my great neopoint give away on here). I usually only play now while I watch tv or during events.

Neomancer Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 24, played since I was 13. If one of my classmates had not introduced me to it I might have never signed up. Too bad I am stuck with a old nickname though :D Had a hiatus for years but always came back. Now I am a regular active player again :) This post has been edited by a member of staff (Spritzie) because of a violation of the forum rules. Please do not use curse words in your posts.

Guesticles Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'm 21 but mostly played when I was 9-10 and didn't know what I was doing, I only started playing religiously about 2 month ago since having my son as I spend alot more time in the house. I love it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zahhlee Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I'm 16, almost 17, and I've been playing since I was around 9-10? I remember when the 'cool' thing to do in elementary school was go hang out on neopets with your friends after school. Eventually, my friends grew out of it and I guess I just never did. My mom always tells me that I'm too old to be playing, but then I show her things like this thread and she stops bothering me for awhile, haha.

AJ11 Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 seems most people are in their 20's here then, still looking to see if anyone is as old as I am ... I might confess later just how old that is lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pwnator Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 19. Played it when I was 13-14, but I stopped when my account got frozen for no apparent reason. Too lazy to appeal at that time because my grades were average. Used to play it mainly for BD purposes, right now I just derp around in stocks.

Zafie Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I'm currently 23, and I've been playing Neopets since I was 11. Geez, thinking about it now makes me feel old. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deanxcas Posted June 6, 2013 Share Posted June 6, 2013 I'm 19 (20 in 3 months), and I've been playing Neopets since somewhere in the 1st few months after the site opened. I stopped playing for a couple years in high school, but made a new account almost 2 years ago and started up again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurokiwina Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I started when I was 12 and had break between 15 and 16. I recently just came back and am 17 now. I can see a lot more to the site now that I'm even only a little older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgennaraene Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 *sigh*.. Just turned 38 yesterday, been playing off and on for about 12 years.. My Mom actually got me into it, she'll be 60 this year and still plays; her boyfriend does as well.. My boyfriend teases the heck outta me for still playing, but since Neopets classifies themselves as an all ages site now, I tell him to just stuff it :P feeble_iq 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrystar Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 I'm 22 going on 23 in a few days' time and I've been on neopets since I was 11. I've taken a few long breaks away from Neopets due to other commitments and distractions haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannah_abdash Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 I'm 18 and have been playing since 11.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missjustina Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'm under 18 and have been playing since 5th grade. I used to think I was too old for the site, but after finding out how many people over 18 play I feel a lot better about it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuffinDaemon13 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I'm 22 now, going on 23, and I've been playing for about 10 years or so, so I guess I was around 12 when I started. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raichi Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 personally I think the majority is 18+ because they grew up with it and can't let go :O after all it's too much fun to let go :) Plots, altador cup, making up stories and personalities for our pets andaraen and Duskitty 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueberrykiwi141 Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I am 26 and I have been playing on and off for about 12 years :rock: I loved it then and love it now! As someone else said earlier ... NEOPETS FOREVER!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russ Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 I'm seventeen. I've been playing ever since I was seven or eight.. it's kind of crazy to think about, since there's one girl I met on there way back when I was a kid and we still keep in touch on Facebook nowadays, so I've known her over half my life because of this site - I've known her longer than any other friend I have.

Storm Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 im 24, I started playing when neopets was released more or less, played for around 2 years and quit. I came back around a year ago. Nostalgia ftw, and I think neopets is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtopaz Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Been playing off and on since right before HS. Same acct and all that.I even keep my shop super emo. >.> I'm 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolatea Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I started when I was 8 or 9, but my accounts kept getting frozen and I gave up and totally forgot about the site when I started middle school. I got back into it when a classmate of mine mentioned it about a year ago. I'm 16 (almost 17) now and I spend way too much time on Neopets. It's all a secret from my friends/family though, they'd make fun of me if they knew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chill Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 interesting to hear that the majority of the people on here are around my age.I'm 23. I'm a masculine rugged kind of dude and nobody in-person knows I go on Neopets.I know that if any of my friends found out I would never hear the last of it.
