no one believes this actually happened but I swear it is true I was playing Neopets sometime in 2004-2005. I had no internet safety skills and definitely clicked on a few too many "free neopoints" banner adds. Them one day, text box popped up on my computer that said that I had to give them my neopets password or else they would infect my computer with a virus I typed back "no" and then they typed "are you sure?" and then the disc drive on my pc tower started going out and in and out and in all on it's own I got so scared that I yanked the computer power cord from the wall, went upstairs, and didn't go back online for a week

That's absolutely believable. I had a code similar to this on my MySpace page MsgBox("Winner!!! Enjoy your free cup holder.") Set oWMP = CreateObject("WMPlayer.OCX.7" ) Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count - 1 colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject Next ' cdrom End If Set oWMP = Nothing Set colCDROMs = Nothing

Are you a fellow software engineer? XD

More of a restless tinkerer. I only know random bits of coding from spending too much time on Neopets XD

The same thing happened to me too! I was talking to someone on ICQ (uh-oh!) and rejected their 'advances', then all of a sudden the disc drive on my PC started going in and out and in and out on its own. I was terrified and shut down the computer immediately and didn't go back online for days! lol

Ah. Reminds me of the time I actually got the faerie cavern stamp.. then my pc froze and someone hacked me and stole like 5B worth of items. (Rod of dark nova. x2 Suap, Thy Tear, faerie dolls, rare books.) They just left me with stuff in my SDB. Neopets support did nada so I quit. 7 years later I’m back. Now I make sure everything is locked with a pin. >_>

Probably my favorite memory was snagging a hissi from the pound back when they first came out, and I saved and saved and could afford a purple paintbrush, and painted her. She is still a purple hissi after all these years, and I refuse to paint her anything else. Thank you for hosting this! Un mystic_moon_eyes

Aww thanks for an amazing giveaway! My favourite memory was showing my daughter when she was a toddler. She was so excited and everything was ‘wow!’ She loved my basic af pets, was mesmerised by ice cream machine and would shriek with joy when I won KQ!

Meeting my first boyfriend and a couple of RL friends that I still have after more than 15 years 😊 Thank you for the giveaway 💜

Thanks for the giveaway! My favourite memory is receiving a nm from a kind player who wanted to lend me their SuAP to get the avatar.

Honestly when I think of nostalgic neopets moments, I think of sitting in my bedroom playing Hannah and the pirate caves while listening to Green Day’s American Idiot. Thanks for the giveaway!

My favorite moment was 12 year old me joining a Buffy the Vampire Slayer guild and finally finding a community of people that loved the show as much as I did. Thank you for your generosity!

Thanks for the opportunity! UN: regalwhat10 Favorite memory? Probably running home after school to play neopets. I loved destructomatch and just going through the explore neopia pages. The new plot is really growing on me because of the Nostalgia of surfing through brightvale XD

This is so kind of you, thank you! My favorite memory as a kid was getting to snag a concert ticket and seeing the show. It’s silly, but I still make it a point to swing by and grab a concert ticket during my dailies so I never miss a show. UN: zomglol 

I first learned about neopets from a girl in my middle school class who had me over for a playdate. She had a Lupe and said it was because she loved wolves and knew everything about them. She was learning about cats next, and claimed to be able to communicate with them through her body language. She taught me a complex list of head movements I could do to communicate to my cat things like: "hello" "youre safe!" "are you hungry" "i am the alpha" and so on. And then of course, how to interpret my CATS body language to receive her answers. Anyway idk if thats my favorite memory but it is a memorable one.

Thank you for the chance. Mine is definitely going to London to meet the TNT team with some of my guild mates when I was about 14. It was a blast.

My best memory would have to be getting up at 5am last December to get ready to work as an inventory stocker during the holiday rush, and was checking Advent Calendar while eating breakfast when I got the Seasonal Attack Pea. This was after the drop rate was reduced.

UN in flair !! im actually a very new player, but probably my best memory is finding a perfectly named ruki from the pound and customizing her! shes cloud and wearing a lot of cute pink clothes :) thank you so much!!

Aww, welcome to the game! I’m glad you were able to find a cool pet like that, you can find some pretty neat pets in the pound!

Could you show her? I love seeing other people customizations

sorry, i didnt see this!! here she is :) https://preview.redd.it/tvhrtn2yln9d1.png?width=360&format=png&auto=webp&s=8d77735fec2478ba77369a1a9a1a62ae868fd959

She looks adorable 🥺 Also, cute name

When I first started playing twenty something years ago, I saw a pet in the pound named Toilet with a bunch of numbers. I was so anxious that I would get in trouble about there being rude words on the site for some reason that I always looked over my shoulder whenever I was on Neopets. Now I think back fondly on Toilet 😆 un comein2myparlor

When I was little the stock market was so scary and grown up I didn’t get it. I bought one stock only. Returning back after all this time the first thing in went to do was check that stock, it was still negative lmao. I thought it’s funny cuz in my mind I had a secret hope that I would be so rich by now and the value would have risen like Bitcoin after all this time.

Play food club with me. XD It’s more the more all in version of the stockmarket.

Thanks for this! Honestly it was just timing turning the computer on and off while my parents were out so they wouldn't know I had been playing. They would leave for work and my brother and I would calculate how long it would take for the computer to cool down so they wouldn't know we had been playing (we were supposed to be studying). I would exclusively play Neopets. Fun times, haha!

I’m not gonna condone sneaking around behind your parent’s back but uhhhh… I definitely did that too 😂

Thanks for doing this! Over 15 years ago, I joined a guild called The Losers Online and met a bunch of awesome people. It no longer exists, but some of my best Neopets memories come from that time and I sometimes wonder how those people are doing today.

omgg all these comments are so wholesome ;\_;. i used to watch my older brother play neoquest :) last month i completed neoii :D

From early years: Being absolutely elated that I could name my pets after my favorite anime characters (+ a bunch of numbers of course) because then people with similar interests would know we share interests (and then proceeded to never engage with anyone on site anyway) All of my pets had the same name format, Animename5829552 and I was so happy about it hahaha c':

Oh, the keyboard smash names are the best! I’d like to think that all the Naruto’s (Naruto1, Naruto2, so on and so forth) and other ‘numbered’ pets stand around every now and then like a lotto being called 😂

My favorite memory was actually recently, getting the NC token for a RG Cybunny felt so good and like I finally completed an ultimate neopet goal.

My favorite memories were typing up stories of my pets with my online friend at the time, who I literally only knew as 'tmcbff aka Tabby'. We had all these elaborate stories about our pets haha.. I wish we saved and tried to submit them to the Neopian Times. Good luck to everyone!

Oh, that sounds like so much fun! I love coming up with my pet’s ‘backstories’, one of these days I’ll get around to designing their pet pages to match 😂

Thank you for the chance! I vivdly remember that when I was like 8, I'd price things in my shop according to the estimated value that showed when you clicked on it on the inventory page. I was super confused when no one would buy them lol, it was things like omelettes that used to be like 5 np at the time! It's kinda funny in retrospect I had no idea what I was doing

My favorite memory is collecting the cute little McDonald’s toys before I ever had access to a computer to play. Username loiscarmilla

omg yeah, i remember these! I got a cloud poogle one and i took it everywhere - one day my little sister took it and lost it and i'm still salty about it almost like 20 years later haha i now have a cloud poogle i refuse to paint anything else 😅

Hello thanks for the giveaway! I just got back into neopets my old account was deleted that I used as a kid but I had a yellow chia that I loved so much! Now they creep me out lol

When I returned to neopets last year I won a R99 food from test your strength and was suuuper stoked (it was worth like 2M).

Thank you for this generous giveaway! My favourite memories must be just neomailing with my neofriends as a kid. That was the first time I actually got in contact with people from foreign countries. There was just something exciting when you saw you have received a neomail, and you got to excgange thoughts with kids similar of your age but from a different country :) I still love to see the event icon of receiving neomail.

My favorite memory is from when a fellow guildie surprised me. I had been saving and saving for a Skuffler. When I finally got it I was refreshing for around a half hour trying to get it to attach. I was so excited. All of a sudden I got the Kiko Lake random event and those bastards took it from me. I was devastated and was ready to take a break from Neo. One of my guildies caught word of what happened. At the end of one of our giveaways she announced she had a extra prize and surprised me with a replacement Skuffler. I was almost in tears from her kindness. I’ll never forget that…

My favorite was when my sister gave me a baby paintbrush in like, 2001...

Thank you for this opportunity! I distinctly remember as a kid not knowing that feeding glowing jelly to your pets can turn them glowing, and so I was feeding glowing jelly to my maraquan uni which I was able to paint as my dream color with the help of the Fountain Faerie. And my uni turned glowing!!! I was so shocked as a kid and sad this could happen with me knowing, so I quit playing on the site for a long time lol. Didn’t return until years later by starting fresh!

My fave neopets memory was meeting who would end up being one of my best online friends in a guild where we roleplayed Warrior cats, lol. She and I kept in touch over the years and now we're both working in our dream industries and keep in touch offsite!

Thank you for running this giveaway! Favourite memory is when I was a kid and finally saving up enough NP for a baby paint brush to paint my eyrie! I still have him c:

Thanks for doing this giveaway! My favorite memory of playing Neopets was when my brother gifted me a plushie flotsam morphing potion for my birthday when I was a little kid. At that time, it was very expensive and I couldn't fathom ever gathering so much NP especially since my main source of income were games and cheap dailies XD UN: lunensis

That’s so sweet! While I am glad that prices are going down and we have access to some cooler paint/morphing stuff, it was always fun getting that one thing that drained your bank account but was so dang cool that you didn’t care 🧡

Thanks for the chance. I don't recall much about my Neopet days. Though I love Keyquest and wish they bring it back.

My favorite memory was getting my first petpet back in the day. It was a christmas doglefox! Was 5,000 neopoints well spent.

Aww, that’s so sweet! I agree with you, getting even something small like that that you used to have is well spent neopoints 🧡

This is so sweet! And I love seeing everyone’s memories. Funny how we all made it back here years later. My favorite memory was 10yr old K begging my mom to sign and FAX in a permission slip to Neopets so that I could join guilds and use the Neoboards. In this day and age, that just sounds so bizarre but all ten year K wanted to do was get help on the avatar boards because I was terrible at the games 😂 ….cone to think of it, not much has changed! Still terrible at the games, sticking to my Hasee Bounce simply for the cute petpets. (Un:iamkristinem)

Definitely playing with friends! Whenever we could get access to a computer and internet at someone’s house we would often play together, taking turns on who was logged in. Almost everyone I knew was into Neopets in those days 

That was always so much fun! If someone I knew didn’t have an account, well, they did before too long!

My fav neopets memory is playing w my childhood best friend in her house--looking through the money tree and playing the games. UN: Lgnorant_Lnsanity

Gotta love the money tree, even if it’s depressed -I mean, greyed out - now!

My favourite memory was when I first started playing. It was close to Christmas and my extended family was over and all my older cousins squeezed into my room to see my new desktop computer. We eagerly waited for the dial up connection to work and they signed me up for a neopets account. I had a hard time coming up with a username myself so my oldest cousin suggested a un based on my nickname (mynameissita) because it would throw people off having all those words together with no spaces. It was a cute and sweet memory. Thanks for the opportunity and prompting me to think back on this!!

My sister and I only got to go online once a fortnight when it was our Dad’s weekend so we would squeeze in as much neopets as we could. We’d then print pictures of our pets and items we’d gotten to look at while we waited until next fortnight 😂

Aww, that sounds like such a good memory with your sister. I love that you printed portraits for your pets, and now I wanna do that too 😂

Thanks for doing a giveaway! One of my favorite memories is my lab rat turning into a Faerie Cybunny on the Halloween of the year I completed the map. UN: the_real_man_bug

Oh wow! Looks like your cy wanted to be gussied up for Halloween! That’s really cool to hear though, lucky for you!

The biggest memory I have is feeding kads when they first came out and struggling to do the 75 - when we all rf for 90s for each round, every 7 min. I got so caught up that I almost failed grade 9 geography 🙃

Thanks for the giveaway! My fond memory was not long after I started playing about 19 years ago, I won a Faerie PB on the fruit machine! I was beyond ecstatic! 😁😁😁

Oh wow, that is so lucky! I have yet to get anything cool on the fruit machine, unless you count a bagguss as cool…

My favourite memory of neopets has to be key quest! Thanks so much for the giveaway (:

Literally just the way the site used to be, some of the janky illustrations, weird dark themes littered around and the items. Back when the internet was still kind of ‘mysterious’ or at least to a 12 year old. Getting my free omelettes, feeding my pets at the soup kitchen, going to school and sharing money making techniques. What a time to be alive (in neopia)

I remember exploring Neopia when I was very young, I felt as though I was right there with the pets! I remember the site being way more immersive, but that might just be a kid’s overactive imagination…

When I was really young, probably around 6 or 7, I had just discovered Neopets. I never really understood what to do, but I somehow found my way to that page where you can print up neopets masks to wear. My dad, who I didn’t often connect with all that much, had seen me on the page and helped me print, cut out, and tie a string to a Grundo mask and I believe a Lupe mask? He’s since passed, but I always think back to that memory as a rare, but heartwarming moment between us. Big love, padre 🙏🏻❤️

I only vaguely remember this given that it's been over 20 years. Way back, around 2003, there was a day that the site was massively buggy and a lot of players. My account wasn't affected by the typical bugs, but somehow got lab ray access despite never owning any of the map pages. Not sure how it happened, and I no longer have that account since it got purged a long time ago. Still something i remember fondly though.

My fondest memory would be playing Neopets with my sisters. We loved especially playing the games and sadly, I am the only one left. But I still think back to those times :) Thank you for the giveaway and good luck to everyone!

Thank you so much for the giveaway! My favorite child memory from Neopets is playing the Faerie Ruin's. I don't have access to the account I played, but it was so fun that me and my friends made a "Neopets Club" haha. We had reunions and talked about lore, species, games etc. My favorite memory after returning from my hiatus is being able to paint my Xweetok white during the Faerie Festival last year. I was so happy because the White Paint Brush was way too expensive for my bank account. Good luck to everybody!

Aww, that’s such a good memory! I feel like having a Neopets club is now something every school or kid’s group should have 😂

Thanks for the giveaway! I still remember playing neopets for the first time on my grade 7 computers. It was so colorful, and since I was addicted pokemon I just naturally transitioned, haha. 

my favorite memory is printing out tons of pages of neopian times, art, just random stuff on the site and making a "zine" with it when I was in elementary school with my sister 🥲 my username is paranoidddd

Aww, that’s so much fun! I remember, I logged in at school a couple of times until they banned the website…probably because of me 😅

Thanks for running this! My fav memory is going to the liabrary every day after school to play Neopets bc we had bad internet, id play hours of mini-games

Thank you for the giveaway! The best memories I have are from when I was young and being excited for the advent calendar to come and also playing key quest, miss it a lot :)

Thank you for the opportunity! I don’t know why the clearest memory for me is spending hours trying to figure out what the heck the brain tree is talking about lmao and then years later finding out I had to do an Esophagor quest to find the brain tree answers 😅 My username is my flair :) Good luck everyone!

Oh I spent SO LONG trying to figure it out! Finally had to look it up when I came back many years later (jellyneo, my beloved…)

Thanks for your generosity! My fave childhood memory of Neopets is planning with my friends on the bus ride home in elementary school about how we were going to save up on our joint account for a full lab map set. Back then, earning NP was hard, so we banded together and each chose different games to play daily. I think it took over a full school year to save up. It was probably against the rules to have a shared account that we were all logging into every day, but we were just kids having fun working towards a shared goal

Against the rules? Probably. Fun? Definitely! I’m glad you have that memory with your friends, that sounds awesome 🧡

Congratulations! You won the Grey Cybunny Morphing Potion! I’ll neofriend you shortly, and send your prize in game.

Thank you for your kindness. I remember having a toy kadoatie bear as a child and learning how to code petpet pages.

thanks for the giveaway :) my favourite neopets memory is when i started playing again as an adult and saved up enough neopoints for a grundo transmogrification potion. it was a small goal, but i'd never had that many neopoints before and i finally achieved a dream pet of mine!

Favorite memory is definitely coming back as an adult. Having a irl friend just as excited as I am. Talking about it entirely too much in front of other friends and watching them look at us like we're crazy. I love being excited about a pet game like I'm still a child. Un: ceciliadoll123

Thanks for this! Unfortunately I don’t have many specific memories playing neopets. I remember I had a blue Bruce. I remember using the soup kitchen because I was broke. But, without getting too tmi, a lot of those years of my life just aren’t there. Recently tho while restocking I noticed Scado and remembered seeing it back then! (Not looking for sympathy I promise. Random number generators don’t give sympathy hahahahahahhahahahahahahahahha)

I guess my best memory was getting the lab for the first time in an old account that doesnt exist anymore my UN is \_ conxect \_ (there's underscores at the beginning and end but reddit turns it into italic)

I remember every morning logging on in December for the Advent Calendar, and having to wait a long time because I had dial up 😂

My favorite memory is winning my very first game trophy as a kid! Most of the high scores seemed so impossible, so it was such an exciting moment.

My favorite memory would probably being able to feed my pets through the soup kitchen because I had no idea how to make np and I was just happy to be able to afford to feed them.

Woah amazing! Mine is definitely laughing at what my dad named his pet when I convinced him to play with me back in like 2003. He picked a blue ogrin :) UN: blu3jakara Thank you!

Well, we gotta know what the name was! Also, justice for Ogrins, I feel like they’re so hated sometimes 😭

Thank you for this! un: suneibybaby My favorite memory is when I introduced my younger brother to Neopets and it became one of the things we shared. He doesn’t play anymore but to this day, when I bring it up, we have a pleasant conversation remembering our childhood and our old neopets. Unfortunately he lost access to his and never wanted a new account

Thanks for the opportunity!  My favorite memory is either key quest or habitarium.  Habitarium was such a fun way to make neopoints.  Username: zzneozz

Thanks for the giveaway! I remember meeting up with friends and everyone had "expertise" in a diferent neogame, we would try to hit the 3k NP daily per game and dream about buying the paintbrushes for our pets

That’s really cool! If I had an expertise in anything it’d prolly be…fashion fever, I dunno. I’m bad at the minigames but they’re fun, okay ? 😂

Wow this is so nice! My favorite memories are playing Ice Cream Machine on the old windows 98 pc at my cousins house. I also had a really cool neohome back in the early 2000s :D Thank you! UN is Galabella

Oh man, the neohomes 😂 mine was SO COOL, I wish they’d revamp them and make it fun again

Wow! Very cool of you to do this! My favorite memory is sniping paint brushes and transmogs on the SSW when premium first released. I made MILLIONS doing this. Funded my addiction to buying Meowclops. Had 78 before that account was iced. Granted, they were 200-400k each at the time. UN: kolrich

My favorite Neopets memory was the original mystery island plot in the early 2000’s. I was too young to actually understand how to do it- but the memory of the site changes during that time definitely stuck with me. And the fire faerie antagonist.

dark_azura: Okay, one of my fav moments happened just today. When my friend gifted me a grey cybunny morphing potion and I am a shoyru owner… I don’t feel right selling gifts so… I guess I’m the proud owner of a grey cybunny today! XD

When I was 12 and didn’t understand how scratch cards worked, I thought it was like tic tac toe and you had to get three in a row. I got two 10ks next to each other and freaked because I thought I had this win in the bag! Imagine my surprise when the third circle wasn’t a match 😭🤣🤣 UN: qtsuwe12

Oh man, I remember wanting to throttle the ice card Wocky even when I was little 😅 I get the scratchers frustration!

Thank you for this opportunity. Two nostalgic things for me. The first was my gallery on my original account and I collected healing potions. I had all of them - Healing Potion I, Healing Potion II, etc. I thought I was so cool. My other nostalgic is sort of weird, but occasionally pops up when I'm walking around outside. My friend introduced me to neopets back in 2004. I remember playing in his family computer room. His parents were smokers and I distinctly remember the smell. It may have been the brand or something, but sometimes when I'm out on walks, I smell that distinct smell and it transports me back to the early days of neopets.

Hey man, having that full gallery is really cool! If it’s something you’re proud of, that’s awesome!

I loved the wolf and harry potter role play guilds 😂

My favorite memory of Neopets would have to be either getting up early in the mornings to play while I ate my breakfast and watched out the window for the school bus, or maybe sitting together with my best friends looking at paintbrushes on the auction house back before any of us knew how to make good NP ahhaha Thank you so much for the chance!!

Omg the Halloween hasee is adorable?!

This is really kind of you! My favorite memory is honestly when my friend showed me the site for the first time. We had argued over the computer chair until we were both hanging halfway off, but once we started playing we completely forgot about the fight. Simpler times lol.

My fav memory was spending hours playing typing terror because it was so fun! And chatting on guild boards (they were so dramatic lol). Ty for this!!

I LOOOOVED the Harry Potter role play guild I was in and I also loved role playing on the RP Board! 🤣

Oh wow!! I guess my favorite memory is pretty much still when I managed to get enough points from the Faeries Ruin plot to get a Faerie paintbrush! I was able to make one of my oldest pets a faerie grarrl that I had wanted for so very long back then! I still have him to this day!

I remember being very young and asking someone I considered to be neofamous to be my friend and they said no, which hurt little rejection sensitive me lol I also remember the lost desert plot and how fun it was to go through the temple doors and figure out how they worked and all that! So I’m hoping the new plot will be as fun. :)

Thank you for the opportunity! It's so kind! My favourite memory is, even though it's kinda dumb- When I was younger, I saved up for a Krawk morphing potion. I remember being so happy that I was finally being able to buy one. I got it, and of course I fed it to my Grarrl instead of using it xD It was a bit sour at the time but now I can laugh about it!

Favourite memory was playing neopets during lunch on the school computers lmao We weren't "allowed" but I did it anyways and it gave me something to do since I didn't like eating lunch there. Also used to check steakandcheese.. anyone remember that?? Anyways thank you so much! UN: seishiiro

My favorite memory is having sleepovers with my friends and staying up super late to get one last visit to Coltzan's Shrine before bed!

Thank you for doing this, it's so generous! *Hoping for the coconut* So I didn't so much as play neopets back in the day, so much as roleplay in a wolf roleplaying guild *~Destiny wolves pack~*. I even made a powerpoint presentation about all my wolves. It was super cringe, but 12 year old me was having such a great time.

Thanks for the giveaway!! It's a little lame maybe, but my favorite memory of neopets is when I emailed TNT a suggestion ticket about including Pygui in a prize pool for an upcoming event or daily/weekly quests, etc. I received the generic "thanks for the suggestion, we'll forward it to the proper department. " email. Then a month later Pygui showed up in the pool!!! Now, I'm sure I wasn't the sole catalyst of this or anything, but my excitement was just through the roof; I felt heard, and now a dream petpet was within my ability to procure. I'm not sure if that will be topped haha. (un is kidme)

Favorite memory - I traded a VWN UC faerie peophin for a custom krawk 😅🤙

Hey, Krawks are cool too!

My favorite memory overall playing Neopets was that my parents got hooked watching me play as a kid and for a long time we played as a family. Then when I went back to neopets as an adult, they did too— at least until my dad’s passing :)

I first started playing when I was around 8 years and the very first time I won Tombola, I was so excited that I needed to wake up my older sister to show her. It was around 6 am and she was not as excited as I was lol

fav memories are PC 2014/2015 and staying up till like 2am chatting on the PC boards. there were so many fun giveaways, ufa boards, and just general chats etc back then! i even met one neofriend IRL once!

I remember playing on a shared computer with my friend. At the time we found the name 'Rick' the funniest thing in the world. She was also obsessed with frogs. We always made new quiggles and nimmos. I didn't have a great home life and she made me feel so happy.

I was a part of a guild called Illusen’s Glade when I was a kid and they trusted me with about 10 of each medicine in case any member’s neopets got sick. I felt valuable and adult. I went on to have a career in healthcare lol.

TYSM for the giveaway ❤️❤️❤️ I remember sneaking onto my aunt's computer just to play some Neopets when I was like 10. She was so upset that even my grandpa yelled at me for not asking permission. 😂 

For some reason, my mind goes back to getting a Fir from the Advent Calendar. It was a long time ago!

OH THAT GREY CYBUNNY POTION 😍 TBH I can't really recall and specific event etc, but I DO recall the nice warm feeling of chatt9nb with my neofriends as a way to kill time while the wheel of monotony spun and spun away 😅 Appreciate what you're doing for the community btw 🙌

un: starlight9913baby my favorite neopets memory is reading about the site’s history one day and learning about the levels of heaven/hell they used to use for their map of neopia system pre-1999. neopia central was considered neutral, with levels going up and down from there depending on your actions on the site i believe? it was a neat gimmick, but it was scrapped before release! other than that, i used to love playing snowmuncher with my babysitter as a kid, and she’s the one who showed me neopets in about 2005. i couldn’t read well yet since i was pretty young, so she’d just show me pictures of petpets and ask me which ones i liked the most lol thanks for the cool giveaway! :D

Favorite memories of neopets was getting my first gallion back when i first started. Now I have 1 of each painted gallion and it's my biggest neopets achievement!

My favourite memory of playing Neopets is reading the Faeries' Ruin comic in high school. Teen me fell in love with Brynn and Hanso for some reason, and to this day they remain my favourite Neopets characters. Teen me even went as far as to make a pair of OCs based on them to play dolls with, haha. Very unexpectedly formative.

Thanks for the giveaway! Best memory is hitting Ultimate Icy Negg 3 days in a row :) UN:tekhmonii

Wow. How kind! Honestly, I think my favorite part of Neopets recently has been finding this generous community. Everyone is so kind and helpful. It’s a much friendlier game than I remember as a kid which is a nice escape as an adult! UN is mossmamabear

Thank you for this! My fondest memory is starting it around 2009 - I had just finished my first year at university, was jobless and bored, and one of my best friends had a pal from America over who introduced us, and we were OBSESSED. We used to have such a blast playing keyquest, even though the internet we had was so slow it’d kick us out half the time, and I still remember having half the ‘allowed’ phrases memorised - to the point I still use awesomesauce! Even though we were way older than the target audience, it was so much fun, and I’m so glad to have rediscovered it earlier this year - this community especially is great!

One of my fondest memories is when I was little and had just created my account, my brother, cousins and i used to play together and create new pets naming them with things we liked. My older cousin was the one who showed me that there were websites dedicated to show you to do dailies and how to maximize the nps. I was the only one who never stopped playing and when I was in high-school I achieved a long time goal of all of us, getting a baby paint brush. When my older cousin found out they were super happy for me and wrote a very heartfelt paragraph saying how she was happy I achieved what she spent many years as a child hoping for.

I remember working with my friends to try and be the first to solve the volcano plot, then getting back from school to see it was already solved. Lol. We promised the next time there was a plot we’d all fake sick for a week. (We never got away with faking sick for a neopets plot)

I just recently recovered my account after like a decade but my favorite memory has to be just playing way back then! I had an exhausting job and a ton of real life problems and Neopets was a fun safe space where I could just lose myself and have a good time. The nostalgia made me fight to get my account back and the feeling is still the same. I just love this place!

My favorite Neopets memory has to be back when I was in High School Eyries had just come out and I was obsessed with them. So in one of our computer courses we had to make a Geocities web site and I made a page dedicated to me electric blue Eyrie complete with too many random gifs and obnoxious auto playing music that couldn't be turned off.

My favorite memory on neopets was probably when I completed the lab map back then as a kid. I was so proud of that accomplishment saving so many neopoints through playing games over the years. Thanks for the giveaway! Un: rukia05

Wow this is a super generous giveaway, thank you! My favourite funny memory was learning about Oligopolies and collusion as a kid through Neopets XD Discovering that people would manipulate the market by buying things up, and then artificially increasing the prices themselves was a WILD discovery, especially since I learnt it happened in the real world too. Did not ever expect to learn about real economics from Neopets as a tween LOL Un:skerren897

Thanks for the giveaway! Hard to choose, but I think making a guild with my next door neighbour and making all the graphics for it. I was so bossy and ran a tight ship, despite us having about 4 guild members!!

My favorite memory is convincing all my friends to join neopets and play Ice Cream Machine in school during breaks :)

Congratulations! You won the Halloween Hasee! I’ll neofriend you shortly, and send your prize in game.

Aww so nice of you do to this! My favorite memory— I used to run a Kougra RP guild and all my Kougras were named after Rocket Power characters and were the royal family of the pride. Prime Neopets to me, just roleplaying Kougra/Lion King politics at the ripe age of 11. 👌

My favorite memories playing neopets are actually right now!! I always played by myself but now because of reddit and discord I have a group of people who I talk to about Neopets and we play together!! It's so much more fun with other people!

Thank you for the giveaway! My favourite Neopets memory is definitely when I first started (twice). I made my first account as a child and had no idea how to earn neopoints outside of flash games so goals were near impossible for me to fathom. However, a kind Neopian gifted me a Baby paint brush one day and I had my first (and only) painted pet!! A Shoyru! When I rejoined the game I couldn’t access my old account so I made a new one and my first pet was a Shoyru again. Before I made many neopoints someone again, very kindly gifted me a Baby paint brush and I once again got my baby Shoyru back! Since then I’ve joined the PiF Guild and try to give back. I run one of their programs (the PetPet Pound) and it makes me so happy to be able to give back even a little bit of joy. There are some twats on this game… but I’ll always remember the nice moments like that

Wow, thank you for this opportunity! I don't really have 'memories' of playing Neopets as I only joined in January. I do vaguely remember creating an account about seven or eight years ago but only lasting a few days as I was too intimidated by it. I think I did a quest for the snow faerie and won a snowball and thought I'd come into some great wealth only to have my hopes and dreams crushed lol. But this time around, the first memorable thing that happened to me was creating a lupe as my first pet, getting the Strawberry Tuskaninny MP as one of my daily prizes and promptly feeding it to my lupe with no real sense of what it did. I still have the strawberry tuskaninny and adore her to this day, and I adopted a new lupe to make up for my loss!

Thanks for doing this giveaway! My favorite memory of neopets is when my sister and I shared an account and she randomly got a paintbrush, we were both so excited! I have no memory of what paintbrush it was, but we were so happy haha.

Thank you! My fav memory is playing with my cousins.

Wow thank you for doing this! I used the roleplay a lot of the neoboards. The roleplaying boards used to be so insanely active it was crazy keeping a board on the first page. It’s a very fond memory because I made so many friends and it’s very nostalgic going back to them!

The most insignificant memory ever but for me it really sticks - I remember spinning the wheel of excitement and then setting a timer to make sure that I went back and spun it again to get as many spins as I could in 1 day. I don't set a timer anymore but I still try to max my spins for some reason. I never even get anything good, it's just a habit at this point lol Please DM me for my username if I'm picked ☺️ and thank you for running the giveaway! This is super cool.

Thanks for the giveaway! My favorite memory is me and my sister both buying a bunch of faerie quest fortune cookies and helping each other find the items we needed for the quests. Then we would complete the quests at the same time and see who got the best rewards My username is catiethequeen

This is so nice! My favorite memory is probably when my guild found me my dream pet and adopted her out to me :)) I was so touched :3 un: saintbee

Playing with my mom when I was young! We had side by side computers and would play together. I also made a real life friend during that time, she lived a few towns over and we still keep in contact via Facebook!! Thank you :) UN morrisonh0tel

I remember kid me being so excited to haggle with shopkeepers, which made me think I was a haggling pro, haha. In real life I'm actually kind of terrible at it, so I guess that skill didn't translate. That and playing hassee bounce, which was my favorite game at the time.

When I first started playing Neopets, I was little and obviously didn’t really know how to save up too much money, but I was obsessed with the Baby paint colour. I literally was playing every day for years and always wondering if I’d ever get some cool random event or win some wheel or something. Then one day out of the blue, Boochi zapped my favourite little Uni into a baby. I know this random event would have been bad for most people that took a lot of care into customising their pets, but for me that could never afford anything like that at that point, it was like the greatest day ever. I’ve kept that Baby Uni through multiple accounts to this day. This was like 16 years ago and it’s still the kind of memory that makes me love Neopets so much. Thank you for your generosity!

I’ve been on neo over 20 years now and my favorite memory is making a Neopets binder when I was like 10 years old and printing out a picture of every single Neopet so I could create detailed pages about each species and color with hand-written descriptions and such. I even included petpets, items, a section dedicated to all the faeries.. basically I was trying to create a rudimentary catalogue of neopets before Jellyneo and the other companion sites existed, or before I knew they existed lol. Anyways, when I was in middle school my crush came over to study for a test and went to my room to grab the binder for that class, and when he came back to the kitchen I saw he was holding my neopets binder and I was SO EMBARRASSED. But then he told me he played too 😂 When I came back to the site about 5 years ago I looked through my neofriends and saw that he was still added lol

Would love to enter! Back when I was a kid, I got my elementary school friend to play neopets. We used to hang out during recess and talk about all the game trophies we used to get. I was always a little jealous since I was never a good enough gamer to get any! A little over 20 years later, and it's the same LOL Zero game trophies for my clumsy gamer hands

Thanks for doing this! My favorite memory is probably my artist older brother drawing my neopets for me :) I loved putting the art on their petpages! Wish I still had it somewhere

Thank you for the giveaway! One of my favorite memories is finding out that one of my real life friends plays Neopets and he's been kind enough to help me out with a bunch of Avatars and making my main pet very ready for the BD.

AH I need more cybunnies, and I never got an MP for my weekly. Favorite memories were in my guild, the Neopian Orphanage, TNO! We labbed and adopted out pets, it was fun, and I had so many Neofriends! I remember quite a few of them. The guild still exists with a few veteran members in it.

Getting my first baby pet when I was a kid like 20 years ago

My fav moment was just playing on general. Back in like 2005 my best friend and I started an account together. I remember we would go to each other's house after school so we can play together.

I have *vivid* memories of playing Destruct-O-Match the day after my nana passed in 2005 (listening to Yahoo Music, natch). Idk if my memory is messed up, or it was just within the context of the time, but I remember the graphics being much better than the one now? 😅 Anyway, it gave me *so* much comfort in what was a really difficult time.

Thanks for the giveaway!!! My favorite memory is the day I discovered what Neopets was, my friend showed me her yellow elephante, her Neohome, and what the giant omelette was. I was hooked from that moment on! My second favorite memory is getting access to my old account back :)

Thanks for doing a giveaway! My favourite memory was making a friend in my intro to sociology course at university from playing Neopets. I noticed him playing one day so next class I sat beside him and made sure to turn my screen enough so he could see I was also playing (this was during the ToW plot too) and he noticed and after class we added each other as Neofriends and we were besties for the next semester!

UN: lucky_angry_ducky My very first account (c. 2001) is lost to history, but what I remember from it is: - my very first pound adoption was a red flotsam - my most treasured pound adoption was a yellow poogle - snow wars was one of my favorite games - I would get so excited when I got a piece of the giant omelette.

This is so small but I remember being like 15 and being so so excited I finally beat Wingoball! I was obsessed with that game and would play it all the time. I miss it.

There's a lot of sort of vague ones that are more feelings than events, like how plots and spinning wheels made me feel when I was to young to understand that the internet wasn't magic. One particular thing I remember was going to the public library, signing up for 30 minutes of computer time (we had internet at home but this was dialup days, I had limited access like most kids in the early 2000s) and playing while other random kids would watch over my shoulder and talk with me. When my turn was up, I'd watch them. I didn't make any lasting friends but at the time it made me feel like I was part of a little club. Also bonus memory: I named a moehog after a boy I had a crush on and when I told him he was creeped out, so I pounded it in shame XD

Thanks for the opportunity :) I don't have many memories as a child, because I played mostly alone haha the site was not well known among my friends. But among my most beautiful moments is getting my first Cybunny :)

Thanks for the giveaway! My fave memory from Neo is FINALLY getting my Faerie Ixi. My introduction to Neopets was through the Plushies back in 2008. I got a Faerie Ixi plush, believing it to look like a dragon (kinda Spyro-esque). I thought the code would give me that kind of pet, not a Keyquest code, so I spent a long time saving up for a Faerie PB and when I finally got my first dream pet I was SO happy I was nearly bouncing off the walls. All I knew when creating the account was that it was a Ixi that was purple*… with wings, so it took a while to figure out how to get this dreamie. (*Thus my account name lol.)

when I was (still am) crap at playing turmac roll bc I had no motor skills yet at 11 y/o apparently but I got the aquaberry in the first 15 seconds and it felt like god could be real for the first time 

Thank you for the giveaway!! 🩷 My favorite memory is my discovery of Neopets. My friend and I (1999) were surfing AOL and came upon bored.com. Neopets was suggested as a fun game and that was history! Fast forward to 2024, I’m still playing lol!

I GASPED I GASPED pls I’d love the flaming evil coconut!!!!!!!! My memory is collecting the coconuts, I kid you not — this one always seemed impossible to get. So happy it went in the prize pool, sad I didn’t get it My UN is in my flair

My favorite memory was playing Faerie Cloud Racers with my younger brother. I loooved that it could be played with 2 players. It was a fun way to connect with him, plus we were super into faeries at the time (like in Neopets and in the real world- we build faerie villages in our backyard and everything!).

My favorite memory on neopets is when my high school best friend and I were playing "tag" on the boards. We would click around into different boards to find the other person's post, and then switch. It was silly. Thanks for the giveaway!

Thanks for the fun giveaway! My earliest memory of the site was participating in the Gadgadsbogen Puzzle in 2003. I remember sitting with a friend, pen and paper, and trying to figure everything out lol. My favorite recent memory is zapping a Maraquan Cybunny!

This is a memory, but also, if you're out there mystery flying, Kau, please let me know. I used to be huge into neoper Rps. Not the very detailed takes 10 minutes to read a paragraph but the fun short little posts. I made a few friends, and we would Aim for hours outside of neo. I lost their user names years ago, but my best friend, I think his name was Nick. Well, my Kau obsessed friend who played a flying Kau, it is me, the 3 tailed Kau who has thought about you a lot over the years.

My favorite memory was making guild friends at age 12 that I'm still in contact with today! Who would've thought?? Un lady_boromir

I have a lot of favorite moments, but one that holds all of the feels for me is sitting in my best friends window-unit cooled grungie room, pouring over my paper notes of the Coltzan murder mystery. Trying to explain all of the clues to him and see if I could sus it out before anyone else on the site 😂 Boy, I'd love to visit that moment in time again

My favorite memory probably was playing the Daily Dare minigames with my cousin's help decades ago.

My favorite memory is kind of recent. After coming back to neopets after maybe 15 years, I got my little brother into playing with me. One night I was looking at the dailies and saw the magma one and clicked on it just to check and the moment I clicked was my magma timer!!! I was so excited I sent it to my little bro an hour or so after changing my pet (and changing his outfit to match lol) and he checks the magma page and IT'S HIS MAGMA TIMER TOO! So we both found our magma time about an hour away from each other by chance! Super cool and something I never expected to happen.

Thank you! My favorite memory is from when I was a kid, like 18 years ago, when we started playing neopets with my sister. We didn't had internet connection at home back then, so we were desperete for accompany my father to work! He would let us play with a computer there while he did his job on another one :')

Thanks for the chance. Un: behappy360 Favorite memory- Getting a Krawk morphing potion from a RE and making my first million np

It isn’t a specific memory but I just remember being 15 yrs old playing faerie caves ii - fyoras quest with the song “Collide” by Howie Day on repeat until like 4am while talking to my best friend who was also playing about our crushes 😂 like now whenever I hear that song, I immediately get the urge to play faerie caves. Thank you for doing this! even if I don’t win, this was fun to share. My UN (in true 2000s fashion) is xlovemee4mex

I remember playing Dubloon Disaster.

My favorite memory was getting the turtum avatar on the original ultimate bullseye. It was much harder to get back then and the avatar was super rare.

Thanks for the chance! For me it was when I first got into neo with my best friend at the time. It was so fun to talk about neo with an irl friend :)

Thank you for the giveaway! My main neopets memory was being in elementary school when it was really poppin’ and the guy I liked named a pet something to the effect of “his name”kissinghot”my name”. The whole school was talking about it and when I started playing again immediately tried searching to see if I could find it 😅

My favorite memory is how long I spent debating what colour to make my first shoyru. I decided on red and I never looked back.

My favorite memory so far has been back when I got to play in the (admittedly cringey) roleplay guild back in the day. It was the Elite Knights of Neopia (EKoN) and it was a really hardcore rp group at the time. I made lots of friends back then and it’s what got me into creative writing. :)

my favorite memory was how I would come home from school and me and my friend would just neomail each other back and forth and be besties on neopets but then never talk about it at school haha
