This is what I'm doing with my summer. Playing neopets.

And trying to make my formerly dimwitted Grundo into the smartest neopet EVAR!!  

[chickajasmine]

I use to like neopets but then i got into gaia.
+ gaia is better than neopets,
I never really go on there. 3nodding  

[Stars_Tears]

I go on there every once and a while but I like Gaia so much better. I still do like my pets though!  

[ringwraith10]

I played it for a while... about 7 years ago. O.O

You have no choice in your poll for "I played it but then got tired of it"...  

[Jigoku_Shoujo1348]

Wow! I haven't been on Neopets in a long time! 3nodding It's cool to hear about it again.  

[IY_and_MCR]

I usualy check up once every five months (and the advent calender. Free s**t FTW)
But I haven't been able since they added the birthdate option to signing in.
I lied about my age for my account and no idea wat I said it was XD

Fun fact:
Neopets is how I found out about quizzilla
Quizzilla is how I found out about gaia  

[Suicide Lollies]

First of all, anyone know any good active goth guilds on there? I had a search and can only seem to find unactive ones.

Also my user is zyxi. Feel free to neofriend me. smile

Yeah, yeah. It's one of the most un-gothic things you can imagine: Neopets. Most of the virtual critters on that site are cute and cuddly, the fodder of eight-year-old female dreams. However, given the proper treatments, some species could be painted black, changed into mutants, given Halloween costumes, or become ghosties or evil-looking denizens of that virtual community called Neopia. I was once I Neopian myself; in fact, if it weren't for Neopets I wouldn't be on Gaia; a few friends of mine from a Neopets guild told me, "YOU HAVE TO JOIN GAIA IT'S AWESOME," and so I did. Not once have I regretted that decision.

I was, in fact, going to submit a piece to the Neopian Times on being a Neopian goth. To this day, it is unfinished, but the part of it that I have saved on Notepad stands thus:

Quote:

"HOW TO BE A NEOPIAN GOTH - PART 1"

Remember that time your little sister followed you into Hot Topic, screaming, "BUT YOU NEVER GAVE ME MY BABY PAINT BRUSH!! YOU PROMISED ME LAST WEEK!" You weren't real happy with her when the cashier gave you that "you're such a poser" look, were you? Or how about the time your sister's pink Meerca keychain ended up on your backpack, and all your goth friends rolled their eyes at you and laughed. That was so embarrassing, wasn't it? Because Neopets is generally thought of as a "children's website," being a Neopian can sometimes take some points away from your goth credentials. But you CAN restore those lost credentials with my easy-to-use guide on being a Neopian Goth!

- Section 1: Your Username
If your account is not already well-established and you want to start a brand new Neopian life, you'll have to think about what your username should be. Of course, you want to make it look goth, but not overused. In fact, if you're planing to use "manson", "slipknot", "goth", or "666" in your username... Don't. It's overused and uber-stereotypical, and you might even be called the dreaded "p" word for it. *gaspshockdoom* Yes, that's right, it might make you seem like a... dare I say it?... a poser! Bah, who am I to use such cruel language! *rinses mouth with soap* And besides, a lot of bands that are considered goth bands might not be too kid-friendly, and we all know how many kids are on this site... If you want something that sounds goth just by saying it aloud or reading it, try something like "mortismorta" or "candleshadow". However, if you want something exotic and gothic, maybe you could be "poison_peach" or "snow_white_darkness". If being goth has given you a twisted sense of humour, try "blackenedfromage" or "doomstick_xx100". Whatever. Feel free to go kinda crazy with it.


- Section 2: Your User Lookup
First impressions are crucial to establishing yourself as... well, anything. What's one of the first things someone will look at when they check out your account? Your user lookup! Thus, it is important to make your user lookup reflect your gothness. If you're not into fancy-schmancy and overly gaudy HTML/CSS, you can simply install a black background and make the text color white or red, and that will do. However, if you would really like to show your gothic stuff, then you can grab a nifty background. A Neopian theme, like the Haunted Woods, Dark Faeries, or the Twisted Roses would be nice, but for those who'd like to venture outside of Neopia, the possibilities are not limited, not at all. Many sites with premade lookups include themes from Halloween to Nightmare Before Christmas to Buffy the Vampire Slayer to maybe even your favourite band or horror movie. Just make sure it's not gory. Many sites also carry song codes to stick in your user lookup. These range from your MIDI of "This Is Halloween" (from Nightmare Before Christmas, of course) to your favourite rock song, but with keyboard notes replacing the lyrics. So go ahead, make it hardcore! (Just please, watch the language/content of the song.) What's that you say? You want something more somber for your lookup? Oh, I see, it's because your pet bat died last week, isn't it? I'm terribly sorry to hear that. Perhaps a background of your dearly departed Wednesday's night sky and a mournful tune such as "My Immortal" by Evanescence would be for you, with a little tribute to your pet would be nice. Rest in peace, night-flyer. *tear*

- Section 3: Your Shop/Gallery
Another easy way to make Neopoints (besides the sometimes-challenging games) is selling your items in a shop. When creating or editing a shop, you need to keep a lot of things in mind. For instance, what will you call your shop? Where will it be located? How will you describe your shop? Will you put in a background? What shopkeeper will you choose? What will your shopkeeper's name be, and how will he/she/it greet the customers?
In answer to the first question, try choosing something that doesn't have "Death" or "Despair" in it, because that is sooo cliche. Try something kinda catchy like "Nightshop Number Nine" or "Bundles of Bats, Inc." Really, it's up to you. You're the one trying to prove your gothness here. And speaking of goth, most of us who live on the dark side like to be kinda spooky. Placing your shop or gallery in the Haunted Woods is certainly spooky, isn't it? Keeping things spooky, you can spiffy up your shop with a spooky background or blog. As for shopkeepers... if you really want the avatar, you can use the Gothic Usul avatar, but any Halloween, Ghost, or Darigan pet would work, as would a Dark Faerie. If you reeeeeally want to name it Dracula or Mr. Hot Topic, go ahead. Here's the one time I'll let you do something cliche. As for what to stock in your shop/gallery... That's pretty much up to you. If you want to keep berries and battle items in your gothic gallery, go ahead. It's not like you're obliged to keep 99 Headless Vonroo Plushies in there...

I'm actually quite proud of that article. 4laugh Unfortunately, I never got to the fun part: the pets!

I used to go on neopets all the time  

[Gothic Muffin of Doom]

I'm still on Neopets. but it tires me some time, because it has become even more expensive. But i like it. I already painted my Gelert Halloween and my blumaroo fire. two more to go.
