Giving my first pet (a peophin) a name I'd always wanted to use for a story-character. I could never seem to fit the name in to my stories, though I thought it was exceptionally beautiful...to this day I still haven't used it for anything other than a Neopet.

Playing Scorchy Slots for hours and hours (and hours) on end.

Being broke after the purchase of my first petpet (a doglefox).

Playing Kacheek Seek and feeling all proud because I knew someone who'd contributed one of the puzzles (the puzzle's long gone, but the account's still active...I should neomail her and see if she remembers me XD)..

I also remember when paint brushes were common REs. I got at least four that way.

And yes, I still remember when Macy Gray was a pet. I was shocked and appalled.

Mmmm back to where I was a newbie....I didn't know I had to give them food evry day.

I remember spending a long time just deciding what pet I wanted, and an even longer time thinking up a name. (And still doing an awful job.) I still have my first pet on my main account - don't think I can get rid of any of them no matter how ugly the names are.

I also remember getting a Blue Aisha plushie, a copy of The Magic Paw, and a mint chocolate coated candy bar (which I promptly fed to my Acara) in a newbie pack. None of these cute cardboard petpets and starter brushes you kids get today. *waves cane*

Ah, yes, one more - I also remember thinking for some reason that I had to buy every item that the pet wanted on its default web page. Fortunately I found out that the Acara Battledome items were useless before buying them.

Lol me exactly! I bought duplicates of my newbie pack (all the items you said, plus a wooden blocking shield) and they're now in my gallery. I had an acara too... and I thought that baby paint brushes could paint any colour lol. Plus, when I bought a purple acara balloon, I gave it to my acara... and she hated it

It's fun reading all yeh memories

I remember going to the pound to adopt my first pet because I liked the adoption bruces tattered bow and thought I could adopt one like it

What I wound up with was a Usul who is still with me three years later.

I can also remember not knowing about user shops and buying everything from the main ones. I wasted alot of NP in the beginning

Noticing that I had just missed a plot, then going to the money tree and actually getting stuff.

I have missed every plot since for some reason...except Altador...maybe that's why there are no prizes...

I remember when you needed a totem to get to mystery island and when Bruce was still that ugly little man.

I remember buying a studded collar thinking my eyrie could actually wear it. XD

I remember getting my newbie pack and seeing (rare) under my Blue Ixi Plushie and thinking that things in the newbie pack were random, and that I had gotten something actually rare, and quite possibly valuable.

I also distinctly recall thinking "I'm not gonna really get into this. I'm just gonna play a little bit when I'm bored. I'm not going to become obsessed."

Creating three Macy Gray pets and getting really annoyed when they changed to Kaus.

I got some neopoints from the Money Tree, and then played a couple games, then explored a bit. Did the wheel of excitement like 5 times until I realized there was a 2 hour limit. Then spending forever trying to figure out my Neopian Address and other stuff for my bank account.

I remember seeing that

"Do you have your activation code" at the top of all the pages

My computer used to be really slow and so when it was loading a game it took it ages for the text "Game Loading" to come up so I thought that animation/picture was the game and not the loading part!

I also remeber thinking, Wow, I will never get bored.

Ahh, the good old days...

two words: meerca. chase.

I remember thinking that the Wooden Blocking Shield was a good item and putting it in my shop saying that even though it was expensive (1000np) it was good stuff.

Good ol' times.

I remember playing cheat and getting the gold trophy for it

Me?

Each item in the Snow Faerie quests seldom cost over 100np.

Having 100K automatically made you wealthy.
We were that poor way back when. XD
