I
am 33 years old and live in the Netherlands. I first started playing
Neopets in 2001 (yes, you can call me a
neo-addict). and I never quit. For a while all I could do was zap
Malko, because my laptop was too slow to do anything else. Reading
and answering Neomails alone sometimes took me about 3 hours x.x
But now I have a fast one and can do whatever I want again. If you think I'm too
old to play a game like Neopets: it was first created for bored
college students, but after a while people of all ages started
playing.
~*Accounts*~
 My one and only
fed Kad (Happy Anniversary Negg)
My
main account is Crowprincess. It's still my first account and
aside from a few warnings, never got it frozen. I also have 4
additional accounts, namely: AngelDraven,
CrowieDraven,
Lupebankteller
and Dravenprincess.I used to have 6, but I selffroze that account (not with the
Neopets of course) to have the legal amount *lol* And before you start
neomailing me about my accounts:
|
You are allowed a maximum of five (5)
accounts.
One of these accounts, your main account, can do
everything on Neopets. The other four accounts (except if
one is a guild account) can adopt Neopets and maintain a
gallery but cannot have a store, play games or any other
activity that earns Neopoints or participate in any voting
activities. .

~*My Neopets*~
I
have 20 Neopets total [http://www.neopets.com/~Kangur]
and most of them are Lupes. I painted all
Neopets myself except Debonaere, Luhvica, Reyaila and Raintia. I don't poundsit, because I
think it's a waste of time getting a Neopet with the right name and
the right color. I also like to morph my Pets, because TNT just
releases way too many cool colors and/or species or redrawed
Neopets and I don't want to abandon them. Here are a few of
my unfortunate Neopets which got morphed or repainted (don't
remember all their basic colors):
Barky:

Skunk, Tyrannian, Brown, Spotted

Malkovichio (customized):

Aside
from my current Neopets, I used to own a Fire and Blue Tonu, Christmas Kougra,
Faerie Ixi, White, Pirate and Mutant Lupe, Baby Yurble, Uni, Pteri and Techo, Darigan
Draik, Rainbow Jubjub, Invisible/Halloween Flotsam, UC Grey and
Darigan Lupe,
UC Faerie Draik, UC Tyrannian Techo and a Spotted Gelert (TNT redid the color so didn't match his
Cadro anymore *lol*). Those Neopets either got traded/adopted by/transfered
to friends or by someone very lucky. I used to zap Pound Pets
for a while,
but all my accounts are full.
~*LupeMoneyCounter*~
For
those who don't know him, he's a Split Lupe who protects Neopia from
scammers. His Petpage is full with tips on how to recognise scams
and what to do when you come across one [http://www.neopets.com/~LupeMoneyCounter].
A friend fell for two scams
when we first started playing Neopets. The first time he lost an
account due to a fake login and the 2nd time he almost lost his best
battle Neopet (the new owner gave it back) and about 200k due to a
cookie grabber. That's when I decided to warn others, because who
would think that people would do such things on a GAME site? And
no, I don't work for Neopets, I'm just a user like you who wants to make Neopia a better
and safer place.
~*Making NP*~
When I first started
playing Neopets, it was quite easy to make NP. You could do
unlimited basic Jobs at the Employment Agency in Faerieland and play
unlimited games. So most NP to paint and train my Pets were made back then.
Plus I painted two of my Pets with Tickets from the Faerie Fountain
(not the recent one though, you need to complete a very rare Quest to paint a Neopet).
When you signed up with a sponsor you earned a Ticket:
-
1 Ticket: Paint
a Basic Color
-
2 Tickets:
Paint any Color
-
3 Tickets:
Change Species and Color
Now
I just make NP using the Super Shop Wiz (accessable when you're a Premium
User) or the regular Shop Wiz. My computer isn't fast enough to restock (plus I don't
even have a clue which items are worth restocking) and I don't like
playing games. I only make NP on my main account, because I don't
want my accounts to be frozen.
~*KeyQuest*~
I
love playing this game, it's fairly
easy and my main goal is to get free codestones to train Malko. You
can also win Books, Neopoints, wearables, Furniture and Paint
Brushes.

Paintbrushes I won so far:
~*My
Galleries*~
I
have three active Galleries, namely:
-
Altador
Cup (on AngelDraven): Changed the theme,
which is more about the Altador Cup itself.
-
100%
Pure Petpet (on CrowieDraven):
This Gallery contains Halloween and Spooky Petpets or Items made
with Petpets which can be eaten *mwhuahaha*
-
Mummified
(on Dravenprincess):
Everything which is mummified can be found in this Gallery. Not
including posters or any other "fake"-item.
Besides
those I have 2 other Galleries, but hardly anything gets added
on those. Some Items have already been sold so I could paint more
Pets hehe.
~*Avatars*~
Showing
off my collected avatars:
             
             
             
             
             
             
             
             
             
             
             
             
             
             
             
          
On
additional accounts:
       
As you can see
I mostly collect the easy-to-get Avatars, because I'm not so good in
playing games. Plus I only use one Avatar anyway: Free
Jhuidah,
which I got during the Mystery Island Volcano Mystery Plot.
It lasted from mid September through October in 2003.
I went to the Rock Pool to free Jhuidah with a Tagobo Potion.
This item was originally made by mixing a Green Uni Morphing Potion, Peach Jelly, and a Slugroot in Jhuidah's Cooking Pot to produce a Botago Plant. That was then mixed with a Tagobo Plant to make the Tagobo Potion. Jhuidah
was trapped in a fish bowl, hence the fish bowl on her head.
~*Help Chat*~
When
I first started playing, you could just chat on the Boards [example: http://petpages.neopets.com/~ShrewFred].
I made many friends back then, too bad most of them quit playing when
the boards changed. I miss the days when I
knew all the people who chatted there and people had a sense of humor
and the drama... oh the drama *lol* We were a close group of friends
and started all kinds of weird things, like HC Blinkies, HC Directory
(run by Divisor),
HC Dictionary, HC Mental Hospital (my cell was number 11 *mwhuahaha* [http://www.neopets.com/~sanity_deprived]
) and the many, many, many usernames which started with hc_. I used to
run a HC Guild with Halien, but he got frozen unfortunately. So I
recreated the Help Chat Guild on my main account and the members rejoined
til the day that TNT decided to change the Chat into what is now the
Help Board.
~*Premium NC Chat Board*~
Ive had Premium
for quite a few years, but I hardly ever went to the Boards. After
the release of the customization feature and the NC Mall I started
hanging out at Charter, I met some wonderful people there who I
consider my friends. If I ever felt blue, I just have to enter the
board and they cheer me up with their comments and jokes.
And thanks to the NC Mall I now have an addiction which is called
Face Paints *runs around screaming*
See... Thats what I mean... Just check out my
collection so far...
~*Petpets showing on your Lookup*~
People
keep asking me how I got my Petpets to show on my Lookup, well
here's the coding:
You also need a Paint program like
Paintshop Pro or Adobe Paintshop to make the background.
I also resized the images of the Petpets to 60x60 pixels instead of
their normal 80x80 pixels.
Size background with a
neohome on your lookup:
width: 710 pixels
heigth: 340 pixels
Size background without a neohome on your lookup:
width: 920 pixels
heigth: 340 pixels
Upload that picture to an image
hosting site and "replace your image here" with the url of your
background. Then go to
my account -
modify account information and put the coding in the About Me
section. Don't forget to save it.
Have a lot of fun
making those backgrounds, I know I did :D
~*Larger picture on Pet Lookup*~
Don't you hate
those small pictures of your Neopets on their Pet Lookup? If the
answer is yes, then go to
Rased petpage. It easily
explains how to make the picture bigger so you can enjoy your
Neopets even more.
~*If
you want to know more about me, or just want some help, feel free to
neomail me*~
