I took a hiatus a few months ago, and I'm trying to get back into subeta. Long story short, I have motivational and attention issues, and I want to know what keeps you playing subeta. I make HAs a lot, but other than that, and the occasional chat with a friend, I'm at a loss for what to do to keep myself active.
I do some of the quests, I enjoy browsing the forums and occasionally posting. I'm working on improving my pet's stats (very slowly cause I forget sometimes/often) and hope in the coming year to actually try my hand at doing pet pages. I've friends on here that I enjoy chatting with and playing some of the games.
One of the main things that keeps me busy in the site is setting certain goals. I enjoy collecting Achievements, so doing that has a lot of my attention.
Mostly I just do quests and dailies. Sometimes I talk on the forum but it doesn't really move fast enough to keep my attention most of the time, since I'm used to instant messaging. What keeps me here is that it's something to do and it's better than Neopets, haha
I'm going to move this to General Discussion. :)
And to add, the site as a whole keeps me playing! I didn't have internet for a whole year at one point and I would always find a way to get on every day or so... go to a friend's house, sit somewhere with free wifi connection, that sort of thing.
i can't leave lol......or take a hiatus i LOVE this site and i am an adult i think it's everything about this site that keeps me coming back.........
WL: http://subeta.net/wishlists.php/283291 1.1.2018 FINALLY MY BIGGEST ACHIEVEMENT ON SUBETA , since stickers came out and now it's all complete
Achievements
You've earned the Sticker Master achievement!
PLEASE FREE TO: TOT [tot=erinh]..OCTOBER dance kiss [Kiss=erinh] flower [Flower=erinh] tree
Trying to fulfill the achievements (feeding my gourmand pet, adding to my hoarding gallery, etc) and training my battle pet usually keeps me coming back at least a few minutes a day. If you've never battled I recommend it!
I also make HAs a lot but other than that only dabble in things here and there on site. I like to quest and to autoprice things.
I go through spurts with my hobbies. I will do one thing at a time very intensely for a few months and then rotate.
Usually it is Subeta, Animal Crossing, and Pokemon for me. Right now I am in a Subeta spurt. In a month or two I'm sure I will be doing one of the other two more. It is just how it's always been with me.
Subeta is just something I will never leave for more than a few months at a time. Events and Holidays are good ways to keep me coming back. And just the HA making. Love making HAs so much.
I also like seeing what is going on with the site. Been here so long, I feel very connected. :) I feel like I've played my role in big site-wide things and it gives me a deep connection here.
Right now it's the Luminaire activities. Every year for the last couple of years, I've always missed 1 day. This year I am determined not too! But I'm on and off throughout the year - two jobs and full time college doesn't give me much time to come on until one of them winds down a bit.

[egg=hypospray] [tp=hypospray]I like dressing my HA and talking to friends. I like making goals too, and keeping up with holidays is fun too.
mentioned that she has spurts in hobbies - I do too! But I find more and more that Subeta is the main pet site or gaming site that I spend time on. I like how there is a lot of variety of things to do and try.

The HA customizing is mainly what I like doing, posting on the forums, taking part in quests and the holiday events. I also took a hiatus for months but started to miss being on here.
I want to use my art as a weapon

Customizing my HA, quests, events, plots, gift giving at Luminaire, Melody's Cottage, collecting things (plushies, beanbags, stickers, etc.).
I love questing. Gift giving. HAs. Collecting things. Achievements.
Mostly? I stick around to do restocking so that I can earn SP for Luminaire XD (Next year I have a goal of being able to spend at least 1mil a day throughout the holiday, so that should keep me busy here =))
And Masquerade. God do I love Masquerade!
I am an on/off user for the most part. I lurk a lot on the sight mostly when I am bored. I get random moments where i am REALLY into Subeta and become more active with different communities, ie. SB or art community. Its just hard for me to stay active because of school and I easily become bored with anything.
However, I am still here. I don't think I would ever quit Subeta because it is such an AWESOME community :D Love it.

I'm pretty on/off - I'll get really invested in the site for a month or so, and then drop off for long periods of time. I really like the quests, and also collecting clothes + achievements.
my wishlist looking to buy and
My pets, my pets, my pets, my friends, and my friends' pets :)

The site as a whole. I love collecting the items, dressing my HA, and gift giving to friends, working on pets, taking part in the events.
the pets and events keep me playing.
My account is very character-driven, so I guess that's really the core of what keeps me here. Most of my pets are my OCs and I like to buy wearables to better create representations of my characters so I have to come do quests to pay for all the stuff I want, and I want to work on their treasures and stories and get art for them, etc etc.
