It's actually kind of funny how many older people play it... if you go to the Premium Neoboards, especially, I'm one of the younger people there XD Also funny that I was 20 years old when I started playing it x_x But then, I seem to be older than most people online. XD
I keep trying to get my boyfriend and some of my other friends to play Neopets with me but they all think it's boring. xP I understand though, it took me like a year of only sporadically playing before it got interesting to me. You kind of have to... give it a while and get the hang of it before it becomes interesting... at least, that's how it was for me.
I'm such a dork :3
