Not by choice?

Me, its been about 3 weeks (ugh) my computer crashed, then I got it fixed, and the next day I had to go on vacation :(

Now I'm in arizona for another week in a half, then back to illinois and back to neo yay, its not like I'm on neo 24/7 (only on some days haha) but I'm on it for a little bit each day atleast, and I'm dyingg, plus my stocks have prbbaly went crazy by now, can't exactly check them :/ haha


And if ur wondering how I'm posting this, I have a sidekick (its a type of phone for the confused one) it only loads some sites, I mean neo loads, but I can't do much on it so I just avoid it


Sooo what's the longest you've ben away from neo? Storys? What did u do too cure your craving? Haha

just the occasional potty break... :oops:

Actually I'm not away from a computer all that often. Even when I escape up to a friends place high in the Sierras I can connect so... :oops: I even occasionally sneak a login when I do things like go and help my mom's friends with computer stuff. There are computers everywhere I go, lol.

Well, your not counting by choice (which was pretty long break) soo.. hmm. I would have to say a while back I wasn't able to use neo because my laptop fried (I accidently left it on over night and it just died :( I think it overheated. All my files. *poof* gone.)

But anyway, I wasn't able to get it up and running so I had no neo for about 1-2 months (couldn't manage enough time using anyone elses computer). And to pass away the time? Well, I did have a few neopets notepads & plushies from ltd store... eh I wrote in em a bit but really I had other outlets (movies, books, and stuff..)

I hope you find your way back to neo soon, sorry to hear that you are having withdrawls :P . Don't feel too bad about stocks though, they haven't been good at ALL for mostly everyone in the past few weeks anyway. :)

Two weeks due to a vacation last summer and leaving for 2 weeks this friday. The first thing when returing was to rush up to my room and log in to see what I missed :oops: sad I know

I was away from it for about 2 1/2 - 3 years, figuring I wouldn't have time while in college. I logged in every once in a blue moon just to see if things had changed much, which I guess saved my account from the bye-bye land. Then my roommate got me hooked again, and I think the trip I was just on was the longest break I've had in a while (5 days). Of course, even as tired as I was, the first thing I did coming back was check the news and results from the Cup before going to bed. ;)

I don't remember clearly but it was somewhere between 2 to 3 years. I did come back for a couple of weeks at a time in between. It wasn't until I discovered fan forums that the game became interesting enough for me to stay on permanently. I don't post much, but the feeling of community is nice.

a few months when my computer died, the repairmen wiped everything, fixed nothing, and still charged for it. What an inconvenient time too...I missed CoM war signups and so couldnt participate when I came back. Im still so bitter x)
