missuninvited

I've officially struck out with "nothing of interest" on the shore for FOUR DAYS IN A ROW. rip.

I'm reviving this thread because I've just started thinking about this again! Four dream pets:

1. Faerie Eyrie. And guess what? I have one!! She started out Blue, I morphed her Faerie when I realized that prices had changed a lot since I was a wee'un, and I have not regretted it for a moment. She's probably my top dreamie, and her current custom/design is my favorite that I've ever done. 
2. Brown Uni. It sounds boring, but the Brown Uni design is so appealingly... realistic? I feel like I could do almost any sort of custom on her - from ba warrior to flowery forest spirit - and she'd still look stunning. I'd also settle for White, but Brown is my dream-dream. She's currently Red, which is... well, it's a color. That's about all I have to say about that.
3. Transparent Peophin. Y'ALLLLL! This is my favorite transparent design. I have this sort of warrior-femme thing going on with my (Red) Peophin right now, and I would LOVE to see her become some sort of Transparent avenging elemental with glass skin and a giant sword. I guess I'm halfway there. 
4. Halloween Kougra - I used to have a Kougra, way way back, but I don't know what happened to her!! I had transferred my old Peophin to a side and recently brought her back to my main, but I don't know what happened to my Kougra. I fear an accidental (... how?) abandonment occurred. Regardless, I am a sucker sucker sucker for black cats, so I would probably pee my pants for a Halloween Kougra. Can you imagine??

Runner-up is just about anything Woodland... Woodland Eyrie, Woodland Grundo, and Woodland Koi are imo some of the most beautiful designs the team has ever created. I guess I'm just a bit more attached to the "older" colors than anything else. 

This was a really fun topic to answer! Great idea!

Hey, it's back for me now! A little laggy but now the page is actually loading and I am not longer receiving the server error message from my browser. Guess it's just spotty today.  

Hey, Trudy's Surprise, as I'm sure we all know, is intended to raise it's payout everyday that you play it, until day 25, then reset. However my Trudy's Surprise seems to be stuck in time. Every day that I get on and roll 2 of a kind, I get 19000. The days don't progress for me for some reason.
Is this happening for anyone else?

Wow, what a difference!   Yesterday it had seemed a little slow.  Now after today's lag has finally disappeared, pages are loading much faster!  :happydance:

It is totally down for me right now. So I guess I'll wait until tomorrow (if it is fixed by then), I wanted to try playing some games to see if I can get any trophy so I hope they work on that  :worried: 

I love that dress! Pets with an upright body just look so much cuter in clothes than quadruped pets.

I would like to see old avatars brought back for those who COULD have been around for them, if that makes sense. I really like that older accounts are privy to more features of the site, as it does reflect our commitment. If we were at least around when the avvie was available, I would love to see a way to unlock it! I hope that makes sense.

Does anyone else find this topic slightly ironic with the rerelease of the "neopocalypse" avatar?
 
Personally I think what hrtbrk said sums it up pretty well. I love collecting avatars. Would I like to have them all? Yes. Do I get a pang of jealousy when I see someone with one that I know I can't have because it's retired? Yes.
 
But that's what makes it fun...if everyone could have every single avatar that was ever released, there wouldn't really be a point to them...it's nice to have "special" ones in your collection (even if you never plan on using them)

I vote we put missuninvited in charge of our Neo daily prizes and random events once they're back online ;)

Whew, this is quite the post! Here we go!
 
 
hehe (; I'm just too much of a softie to give out negative random events!! and I try to give at least one really cool/valuable prize each time... once again, I am a softie! (But maybe I'll try my hand at some random events...)

- You gasp as you enter a room filled with candles. You've found the treasure!! Inside is a Patamoose!

- Click the wheel to collect your prize... A Scorcie Plushie!
 
- Click the wheel to collect your prize... A Wheel of Extravagance Stamp!
Something has happened! The Jelly Keeper approaches you and says, "Remember... Only one helping per day!" he then winks at you at passes you a Picnic Blobikins!

 
- "Oh, well done! Let me grab that ticket and see what you've won!" ... A Playful Ink Frame!

- You draw your ticket... 325! You are a winner! You win 200 neopoints, plus a Heavenly Roast Turkey and The Holiday Sand!
 
 
 
- "Fiddlesticks!", you yell out in disappointment. This room is the treasure chamber you've been looking for but you discover that someone has gotten to the treasure before you. You could devote the rest of your life to finding this person and writing them a stern letter, but you have to get out of here first.

I'm generally against re-releasing old avatars. While I get the frustration about not being able to try for them if you weren't a part of Neopets at the time (or just weren't aware), the point of the retired avatars is to commemorate an event. The avatars no longer have any purpose other than being another notch in your count if they are no longer tied to a specific solution. Looking forward, re-releasing retired avatars might lower site participation in events. A lot of people participate for themes, prizes, and an avatar. If the avatar will just be released later on, I imagine most of the avatar-collecting community won't bother to join in site events.
 
I've missed out on avatars, too, because I didn't do something on Neopets even though I had an account. Several years in a row I missed the negg faerie avatars because my family always went on vacation right in the middle of the quests and I'd have no internet to do them. Sure, it'd be nice to have those avatars, and to an extent it's unfair that outside circumstances affected my ability to earn them, but that's just it: I didn't earn them, so I don't get them.

I don't know...I wouldn't even consider them all to be a sign of loyalty necessarily, considering someone could have signed up, played for like 6 months and gotten one of those avatars if they happened to be there at the right time. I've been playing basically since the site was launched and just used the site like a kid would - played games, bought toys for my pets, etc, not realizing there would be stuff that would only exist for so long and then be unavailable forever. Not that I knew how long I'd still be using the site anyway...
 
I'm still annoyed about some of the retired ones, because TNT froze me "for my own protection" and didn't respond to the multiple tickets I sent in for over a year and a half and I missed out on I think 3 of them.
 
I personally like the idea of some avatars being really rare or hard to get, but you could if you put in the work. That's loyalty, too. Or, if they were going to make them available for just a short window, they could do it more than once, on rare occasions, rather than just a few days then they're gone forever.
