Neopets is like Lord of the Rings
By froggymiester
Have you ever read Lord of the Rings? You’ve probably seen the movies. But have you ever noticed that Neopets is a lot like it?
Well, although neo lacks awesome battle scenes and elves (SO much cooler than those lame “faeries”) it has a very similar effect to people as the Ring did to Frodo and Bilbo and Gollum. Please read the 3 different ways neopets can affect you. TIP: To better understand this article, read The Hobbit and the other LOTR books.
BILBO
If you are affected in a Bilbo-ish way, you discover the Ring, and are unaware of its powers. In other words, you first hear about neopets, and eagerly begin an account. Although you never fully comprehend the properties of the Ring, (or neopets), somehow, you can’t let go. And even when the wise members of your family members and friends (a.k.a. Gandalf) advise you to quit neopets (give the Ring to Frodo) you turn against them temporarily. You abandon neopets, but it never completely abandons you, as you have been playing it too long.
GOLLUM
Just as Smegol was born pure and innocent, so were you. A friend found the Ring, and you wished to take it for your own. (You saw a friend doing neo, and wanted to join.) Next, you fought with your friend over the Ring (you were more dedicated to neopets than your friendships) and your friend died. (Your friendship dies.) Rejected by society (shunned by people disgusted with your dedication to neopets), you crawl into a mountain, and begin your transformation into Gollum. (You begin to isolate yourself, and turn into a greedy and anti-social human) You live for over hundreds of years, though you weren’t meant to, and aid Sauron. (You stay with neo for a long time, and start being loyal to TNT, like clicking on their ads and becoming a Premium user.) Eventually, you become hunted (your friends and family try stopping you addiction to neo) and for a while, go against the Enemy. (quit neo for a little.) But the Enemy is your true friend, and you die withering. (You become a lost cause.)
FRODO
This time, at least you are armed with some knowledge. (You have seen people obsessed with neo.) You agree to help conquer the Enemy (revolt against TNT) and have many friends to help you. You begin your quest (begin revolting) and at first all seems well. Then, when the wraiths come and (users that suck-up to TNT) you put on the Ring (think neo is good.) But in the end, you manage to defeat Sauron. (You harm TNT. Not physically lol.)
WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
