    For me it is the virtual economy that keeps me into the Neopets world. Plus there is so much more to do when making neopoints isn't much fun anymore.

    I haven't played in well over a year but then a buddy starts talking about this "war" so it peaked my interest. I always played to put a big gallery together and train pets in case there ever was a good war.

    I come from a land down under! (Maaaate!)
    I HAVE NO FREAKIN CLUE!

    I don't really "play" anymore - however while i still have my main, I'll continue to look and linger. I keep coming back when there are events, or I'm curious about something.

    Going to either have to sell my account, or get it frozen to call it quits :p

    I'm starting grad school in a few months, so I'm just trying to build up my account as much as possible and then sell all my assets for some extra money when I start school.

    checked in one day and found out there was an upcoming war so I started to play again :p
    Neo's always been that game I never seem to get tired of even after all these years. It's mostly the fact that it's so easy to cheat on Neo that makes me keep playing it. I never get bothered when one of my accounts get iced since it's so easy to start over.

    EDIT and Off-Topic:
    Someone should probably edit bejizzle's post and delete his username.

    For me it is an on and off thing. I will play when I am bored. But some things that do bring me back would be buying stuff with the autobuyer. See what expensive items I could buy. :p I also love playing the stock market on Neopets.

    I personally like the lore, and stuff like that. I like reading about past plots and stories.

    Not sure :/ hadn't been on in a good 2.5 yrs except every 6ish months to put my pets in the neolodge and make sure everything was as I left it in case I ever went back. Now I'm only on again cos I'm procrastinating from uni work lol just getting a feel for it again. I used to be really into it back when I was at school, don't think I'll ever be that keen again, but now and then its a distraction!

    It's a good time dump too if you have nothing to do, being free to play and manipulating economies is always fun

    I just come back every now and then. Stock Market, Trading Post and Restocking are my 3 favourite things. Restocking mostly as it takes skill, almost like a multiplayer game I guess. Also enjoy the battledome from time to time.
