What is Neopets?
If you've stumbled across this site without knowing what NeoPets
is, here's an introduction to the game that has attracted millions
of users around the world. NeoPets can refer to the game or the pets which are virtual critters
you adopt.
As quoted from the NeoPets website, "Neopets® is the greatest Virtual Pet Site on the Internet. With your help, we have built a community of over 60 million virtual pet owners across the world! Neopets has many things to offer including over 140 games, trading, auctions, greetings, messaging, and a giant whirlpool. Best of all, it's completely FREE! "
How do people (like us) spend all their waking hours (save for
eating and toilet breaks) on NeoPets? It's not that difficult.
