J-Max Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 Okay.... I have something I wanted to bring into the open about myself.... I used to have a horrible Neopets Addiction. I was first introduced to Neopets about 7 years ago and was instantly hooked, At first it was all Harmless Fun! Buying a few Items for my Neopet, Playing some games, But then the Addictiveness turned to obsession.... I couldn't spend more then a hour away from my Neopet, It slowly got worse, I would shun my best friend just to get a few more Neopoints. Then my Friend introduced me to a Forum Devoted to Online Game Addicts.... I lost it... I punched my friend square in the face for even trying to get me off of Neopets! Life fell apart even more as I sold Real World Items to make more money to use the Internet Cafe..... Soon after that my Neopets account was frozen... I had lost the will to live.... Only through sheer determination I managed to break the Addiction. I just want to say to you guys that I was a horrible person.... Not so Innocent as I make myself out to be.... I'm so sorry to bring this up but now my Brother is addicted... And it's tempting me too..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Slime Lord Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 I always knew there was something wrong with Neopets!!!!!!!! :evil: Anyway, just don't think about it. If you want to ease your mind, lie down in your bed and blast some music and just try to relax. It works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Max Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Well I often fire up my DS and play some Mario World. But every so often my Brother goes "James! Come and take a look at this cool item!" I don't want to look like i'm avoiding it to upset my Bro. Then I Scream into a pillow soon afterwards... It really gets on my nerves! It's the same with most MMORPG's once they grab you they won't let go.... I did attend a Gambling Addiction meeting once, They laughed at the Neopets thing though... They thought I was a Big Baby...

The Slime Lord Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I just wouldn't get involved with MMOs in the first place. But I did play WoW for about 30 minutes. It wasn't as good as everyone says. Anyway, do you have an iPod or something that plays music? Use it and lie down. Before you know it, you won't be thinking of anything. (until you realize you're not thinking of anything :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 My DS is Modded so it has a Music Player built in! When I get home from work Tonight i'll listen to some Music. I think Death Metal will do me nicely :D TSL, did you ever get in my situation? An addiction which was just too much? I hope i'm not alone....

The Slime Lord Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I don't think so. (Unless you count the time where I would kick my sister of the computer so I could go on facebook for the first 2 or 3 days I joined.) I know that it isn't too uncommon.

J-Max Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 True. Thanks for talking with me on here about this, It makes me feel better. When I get home i'm going to sit down with my Bro and have a nice Friendly Chat, He always pesters me about my DS, I could let him play that instead. Seriously you're a huge help.

SushiTheLegend Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I was never really addicted to Neopets...it was something to do and nothing more, but I've heard how dangerous WoW can be, seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorious eXcess Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 WoW is a game with hardly any addiction for me.....Neopets does have something that addicts you....its....SCARY [insert 'The Grudge' Music] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Max Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Not the Grudge Music.... More the Halloween theme tune! I swear some of those creatures are evil!

J-Max Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Word of advice.... Don't! I've relised that all you are doing is taking care of a Mass of Pixels.... It doesn't matter if Jimbo dies. (He can't he can only "Run Away") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SushiTheLegend Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 I had my Habbo Hotel account hacked because I fell for a stupid trick, pretty much said my password when some guy said if you did it would come out as stars. Now that was one hell of an addictive game, trust me on that one. ¬¬ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Max Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 Either Ran Away or Starving! :P! Don't fall for the Trap! No-one can save you! NOOOOOO!!!! Well I guess it's alright in short doses. Just remember, Your Life is more important then the Pixels. Addiciction is a very serious Issue. Wasn't Habbo Hotel the Virtual Chat room where you could buy Items with real money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dryad Posted March 6, 2008 Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 4 years ago, when I was younger I used to have fun with that game but only for a couple hours.. my mom's friend on the other hand though... she would insist on trading with me for some items while I got this neat "Happy New Years!" stuff which I did trade but was not very happy on the inside so I slowly began after that to slip away from neopets. That very happiness I had contained while playing the game just vanished on its own after that moment as I couldn't stand how people wanted things from me so badly..
