The Top 10 Things I've Learned From Neopets
I am by no means a Neopets veteran. However, I am hardly a newbie. Ever since joining, I have logged countless hours on this site at the expense of my family, health, and social life. But hey, who needs friends when you have baby bruce plushies, nova furniture and a petpet who adores you? So, these are the top 10 things i've learned from Neopets:
1. I should've adopted. Why, oh why, did I go to "Create a new pet" instead of getting one from the pound? I'll tell you why, because I had no idea that I could have had a cloud kau, a rainbow quiggle or an equally gorgeous pet. A pet with higher stats, no less. Instead, I chose to have a non-painted pet and scrounge NP's for paintbrushes. I could've had it for cheap.
2. Guilds are great. I've only been a part of one guild. Well, one and a half (long story, not worth explaining). Neopets would be no fun if I wasn't a part of a guild. My guild is small, but very active. If you want to get the most out of your experience (especially since you'll eventually abandon your real friends), find a guild you enjoy!
3. People of many ages use this site! Do not be shocked when you get an neomail from a 9 year old telling you that you shouldn't put "You break it, you buy it" in your shop description because the items are not real and you can't hold them (Thank you for that brilliant insight, by the way). And do not be shocked when a 60 yr. old man won't sell you any of his paintbrushes for any price because he's helping his wife fill her gallery (good luck to you two)!
4. Your price does not have to be the lowest on the shop wizard! Starting out, I spent an enormous amount of time finding good deals, pricing items and putting them in my shop for the lowest price on the wizard. This is a good thing to do if you want to sell out your shop........ in 30 seconds. People will still buy it if you raise the price some. After learning this, you will no longer have to stock your shop 4 times a day.
5. The money tree is a waste of my time. Now, don't start neomailing me telling me about the great deal you got from the money tree that one time you got lucky and spent an hour sweating and clicking in utter abandonment and got a happiness negg that someone accidentaly donated while doing a quick stock. I donate junk items often though, so those of you who have recieved my sandals and keyrings, you are most welcome.
6. Don't spend all your NPs on codestones to train your pet. Unless all you want to do is fight in the battledome or in a war, you don't have to put your pet in training constantly. With Coltzan's Shrine and faerie quests, you will steadily gain hit points and strength. If you are that hungry for power anyway, apply to work at Neopets and put millions of users at your mercy.
7. REFRESH! Enough said.
8. I did a little bit of traveling and thought I would be leaving Neopets, because I was so busy with other things. I gave away everything in my shop, gallery, SDB, and my NP's. A few weeks later, while bored at home, I logged back on and started all over. You are never leaving!! You're caught in the sticky web weaved by Adam and Donna! Deal with it.
9. I don't know about you guys, but the Neopet shops are a scary place. Most of us who don't have the special super, DSL, satellite, broadband, cable, modem thingie can hardly get a thing out of the shops (and don't get me started on half price day). So, when you're pc is is moving fast and you get something in the shops, don't haggle it way down. Pay a price close to what they offer and take your item and move on. Otherwise, you'll never get anything.
10. I should have thought about a cool user name. Why didn't I think of a clever witty user name? With a relativity plain name like Luna, I not only feel boring but I feel like a walking contradiction since Luna means moon and I have a huge sun tattoo. I suppose Luna7801 is better than QTpie123 or sk8erboi007. But, I would've liked to be 00danger00 or eatmorerice81.
Now, these are just my opinions on what I've learned on Neopets so far. You don't have to listen or take my advice. I understand that being successful is not important to everyone. Good luck!
