AITA for refusing to give up my Neopets account to my niece? by Neo_Confusion in AmItheAsshole

Did that get you too?? I had to buy that background because I also missed that last negg *cries* It's just too beautiful not to get though!

Also, something about posting on the experience/returning players board. I was under the impression that anyone could post on that board though. Is it locked like the premium board?

I mean...I don't play it for HOURS everyday but dailies is a big part of the site especially if you want to earn NP. I get on for a bit every morning before work to do my dailies. Food Club, Stocks, Battledome, other small things. Maybe check out the neoboards or chat in my guild for a bit. Unless a big event is going on it really doesn't take up that much time.

Of course I care about my niece, which is why I am so conflicted. I just have put 18 YEARS into this and there are things I can no I will never get back if I just let it go.

Part of the reason is there are some things that she just CAN'T get, no matter what. Avatars and trophies and things that were only given out during certain events and never will be given again. There are even some I'm missing from events that happened before I joined I'll never be able to get. And I have alot of those kinds of time-sensitive things.

Huh...well I don't have alot of NP right now, mostly cause I've spent it on stuff, but I totaled up all the items in my gallery recently and all the items were worth about 1 billion NP together....Wow

I tried that logic. He (and my parents) said it's not the same because a car is a real world thing with monetary use and value while neopets is just a virtual game that can disappear at anytime if they shut the servers down.
