*sniff* *sniff* Ugh, the flu is worse now. My ears are blocked and my nose is blocked. *sniff*
Hehe… It’s good to know that someone is reading and commenting on my silly posts. Thanks, Atlas. n_n Dean Koontz is my favourite author since secondary school. I love all his writings. It’s suspenseful and thrilling. "Door to December" is my favourite! It’s all about imagination and believing the impossible, because the impossible is really not far from logic.. -_- Okay, what am I saying here? ~_~
Oh well… Let’s talk about Neopets ^_^ Erm… well… I don’t know why it is addictive, but it’s just is. Hehe. For a beginner, it is always advisable to start off with just 1 pet (you can have a maximum of 4 in an account)… But when I first started, I had 3 pets. lol… It’s like taking care of your own pet in real world, but with lots more fun things to do. Hehe.
Well, you can choose the pet’s species that you want by browsing for more neopets or just click the view all button… Then, you are ready to start. Remember to click on your inventory to get your newbie packs. I think there are starter paint brushes included in the newbie packs, but it can’t be sold or trade, or give away. Paint brushes are very special in Neopets… Mostly everyone would want to have their favourite pet painted in their favourite colour. Well, eversince I first started, I always dream of a Faerie Wocky. But a Faerie Paint Brush is so expensive! It’s around 700,000 np. (np= neo point @ the currency used in Neopets)
To make np, there are a lot of ways - easy and hard, you decide… Usually, people will start with playing games. Oh, I love the games there. There are over 200 flash and non-flash games there. For each score sent, you earn yourself neopoints. Not only that, but if you manage to get a high score, you may even win yourself a trophy. The glittering trophy would look so pretty in anyone’s lookup. Then, with the starting neopoints in your hand, open up a shop, and restock from the main shop. Restocking and reselling is a very competitive business in Neopets. It’s the same like doing a real business in a real world, only with less hassle and easier profit.
Then, invest your neopoints in the bank to get your daily interest. Or even better, invest it in the Stock Market. ^_^ Lots of patience is needed here though. People can make millions out of one stock if they’re just patience enough n_n
Other things to do in Neopets is of course, to feed your pet, to groom them and to play with them… Another alternative is to put your pet/s in the NeoLodge (something like a hotel) and there… You don’t have to worry about their food anymore. ^_^
Collecting avatars is another obsession is Neopets. lol… I just don’t know why, but it is rather addictive… lol.. Avatars are cute, and it represents you when you’re posting or chatting in the Main Board or in the Guild Board. Some avatars are very expensive, some may cost up to 25 million np. But that’s what keep people saving for more np…
Other interesting things in Neopets are NeoQuest and the BattleDome. NeoQuest is like any quest games - like Ragnorak Online (RO) but a lot simpler and different graphic of course. ~_~ The BattleDome is a fun place too. You can train your pets to be very, very strong and let them fight the villain in the BattleDome and earn yourself a trophy. Or you can have a friendly battle with your friends to see who’s stronger or more skillful ~_~ Mwahaha… Again, prior warning, good weapons are very expensive.
Currently a war is coming soon. A war between the Maraqua and the Pirates. So, there’s going to be so much fun and excitement in the BattleDome. The downside is… Weapons and codestones used to train pets are getting much, much more expensive. Yup, inflation is evading. Just like in the real world… When the wants is so much and the supply is limited, that’s when the prices skyrocketted.
Well, enough ramblings for now. Hehe. I could go on and on about Neopets… *hmm.. I wish I can do so in exams too* -_-
