SOLVE MY RIDDLE :3

Help for the Puzzle From My Neopets Anniversary Video

Since I wasn't sure how straightforward my clues were, I wanted to provide some extra hints to help if needed. Each one is written below in white-on-white text, which should show up when highlighted.

I originally had a few more, but I wanted to give people a chance before spelling things out with more specificity. I'll wait until next week to update this post with a couple of more direct pointers, then continue adding them over the following few days.

(Sorry - I was going to update on Friday, but I'm also crossing my fingers and hoping that the algorithm might allow it to reach a few more people first.)

The cipher

MBTJD SHQ YIK W JOTNMYK YXHMQKS HB FUZEV. C TI ZFTZ B WHQEX VKGHXYM QBPA SHQ, XPXJ BZ GKM XBNXWMHR. C AKIY MDBM VKFGNJBNR XKCGCL SHQ TM FQVB CKR UL EM BTO ULHQZBM IX.

The clue

I can understand why a lot of people want to change their usernames, but I like how mine is a reminder of my childhood and the journey my life has taken me on since I first joined Neopets. I do struggle to keep track of Neopian years since they don't align with the real-world date, but I'll always remember the year I created my account because it's my favourite number! Neopets has a been an infinite source of wonder and surprise; it's incredible that I'm still creating lovely memories related to my favourite plot even today. I can still scarcely believe that I've achieved my biggest Neopets creative dream several times over, but I hope that that milestone on my adventure helps to cast the sparkle of possibility on your dreams. Even with all of that combined, there is still so much to discover!

Good luck figuring out the code! Every digit counts, unless it doesn't - if you find your key has a void within, perhaps you should take it out.

If you're wondering how many elements you should be looking for:

There are four numbers relevant to the key.

In case this leaves my circle and/or you don't know me that well, I wanted to provide some context for the more personal clues:

Some might see my favourite plot as the last of it's kind, marking the end of an era in more ways than one. Long have the creative forces behind Neopets inspired me, especially the users whose work I followed. At the end of each week I would rush home from school to refresh my browser in the hopes of seeing an update from one of my favourites, along with the possibility of being captivated by something entirely new.

If you think you've found everything and aren't sure what to do next:

The hint is in the final sentence of the clue's main paragraph.
