I did, how do you get them to live? I used to be good at plants, but I stink now, I never tried any of those. Outside things grow great, inside, a dead pool of leaves :(

 
Nepenthes usually like a lot of humidity and bright light especially if you want reddish displays of color such as in the pitchers, and you have to give them distilled water or rainwater cuz they don't tolerate the minerals and chlorine and such in tap water. I know there are differences in the Highland and Lowland Nepenthes plants, such as which temperatures and conditions they prefer. I have a Nep that I bought from Walmart once (it says Nepenthes Alata on it but might be some cheapo hybrid) and it grows well without me messing with it much. I just leave it in a lit window now for the winter and water it occasionally.

 
I keep 'em in my greenhouse, which is about 6' tall and 5' long/wide. Like moosashi said, basically just bright light, humidity, clean water and peat/perlite/sphagnum/vermiculite or any mixture of those for soil. Temperature depends on whether you've got a highland or lowland plant. Low for high, high for low.
