    Remember when you couldn't get anything from the Money Tree at all growing up. Because everyone else was online and jumping on grabbing things from it before you. Now you are much more likely to get rare items from it!

    your videos inspired me to start a neopets account this year 😂 I've enjoyed exploring around and discovering which games I enjoy (I'm playing thru the Waterfox browser which seems to be working pretty well for flash) (also the bash game doesnt seem to work for me? the wind is ALWAYS blowing the wrong way lol).
    I've had trouble figuring out estimated item values compared to market values - doesn't make much sense to me. also god I've spent too much time on gaia cause I really want it to show me ABP when I'm listing an item in my shop instead of me having to look up every item individually on the shop wizard to figure out what people are selling stuff for.
    its been pretty fun so far though! I like that it's more focused on exploring the site and the art is pretty cute!

    I've got the full collection of PatienceOfWrath, DiligenceOfSloth, TemperenceOfGluttony, KindnessOfEnvy, HumilityOfPride, and GenerocityOfGreed. Sadly, ChasityOfLust will forever be excluded.
    Now I just need to save enough to get a Krawk Morphing potion and Draik Morphing potion for Gluttony and Greed respectively.
