...how on earth do you philter a real life pet?

Eheheh with a glass of water DX

*pours water on you*

Not sure what you meant by "you play Sylestia at least twice a day". I played it once and never got off.

the only good part about my long hiatus from here was that when i came back, i had to learn everything from scratch more or less, so i don't fumble with account/explore controls OTL sad i never got to top Cliest on the breeding leaderboard, that was my main goal back in the day.

but man, i remember when there were no Lupora.
*shakes cane and complains about back pain*

...oh god but i actually am having back pain

I guess I'm not addicted but I definitely fit the description as old!!! xD

You know when your addicted when...

You constantly end up exploring cuz u have nothinelse to do

Yo wish instances or festivals could happen in RL

You know over half the people in the CB and know at leat 3 with the unlimited GTK and try to bribe the to test your pets.

You bought 100 pets each at 1g and throw them in breeding generator just to see what the babies would look like and then Breed the best looiking just b cuz your bored and curious even though ur stables are running out of space.

When some one calls u in RL ant u don't know it until an hour later

Oh gawd... I'm an addicted fool...

(And sorta old.. i make the inventory/generator/breeding mistake all the friggin' time)

i have a new one for addiction.

--you got so involved in a fest that you forgot to log in on other sites and now they're legitimately not sure if you're dead or alive
--you wish new pings made the old ones slide off the 5-ping viewing limit because you were saving all those old ones to reply to for when the fest ended
--the fest is over but you still haven't replied to anything anywhere and you're still in the zone chat even though there's only like 5 people there who ever respond
--maybe i'm just incredibly lazy and direct social interactions make me nervous
