    Holy cow! Is that a special Petpet? It surely is. You're quite the lucky one.

    Don't come back tomorrow... keep that Petpet for eternity! Or not.
     
    ...... now I have two! :upsidedown: This was quite a surprise, considering I got my dream chocolate turmac for __Ms_Chocolate__ just last august! Pity this zap wasn't on my trade fodder, since want giovannai's petpet to be a gold petpet, so the zapping shall continue!

    to show their bosses how much traffic we are REALLY capable of

    Neopets isn't owned by a parent company any more, so there are no bosses and they don't need to compete/apply for funding.

    If they want to upgrade the servers, they need to raise that money directly through NC/premium/merch sales, although it's weird because I would have assumed that casual players would spend less money on average. 🤷‍♀️

    Second edit:  BE CAREFUL ACCEPTING REWARDS!  It appears (unless it's a glitch) that you have the same list for daily and weekly, but can only claim it for one of those.  So if you do all the quests and claim them on daily, you do not get any progress towards the weekly prize.  Cheers, NP team.  Much appreciated.

    It would appear that that's been fixed.

    I like whale sharks, but that one is seriously disturbing.  It looks like some mad scientist's hybrid between a dolphin and a whale shark.

    how my friend and I grin at each other whenever one of us makes a truly atrocious pun

    that rainbow outfit is gorgeous, though!!

  5. I mean RE: the account ages, that's kind of unavoidable with any online game that has events? I've joined games mid- or post-events (or missed events because of hiatuses) and generally just thought, oh well, I'll join in for the next one then! But I also go into online game like this one knowing that I will not be able to be a completionist about it, that there will always be stuff I'll miss out on.

    Ideally, if CC happened every year, then they could just run the events with the assumption that everyone had been stocking up for a year, and then even if new/returning players couldn't participate fully, they would only have to wait a year for the next one (and be motivated to return daily to stock up!)

    For food club, though, I personally think the bets should be capped after ~10 years or so. New players will still have a reason to stick around, but they can eventually 'catch up' and won't be endlessly behind older players

  6. Yeah I don't know what's going on with that hat. I'm very disappointed by the lack of fanciness. :hmmph:

    The huge wings are cool, but I hope that they don't clip like that when they're actually being worn!

    The water one is very nice, however it should've matched the more teal color of the Water Eyrie.

    I don't think any of the recent water wearables have matched the Water PB colour. Which is disappointing, I'd love to upgrade my water kyrii, but the differing shades irritate me too much! :crying_anim:

    I decided to join Jhudora based solely on gallery options. I have all the food Illusen is offering as prizes, but i don't have Container of Purple Liquid. Even though my favorite color is green and I like the Woodland Mortog better than the corresponding Jhudora petpet being hinted at. Ah well. Better get to donating.

    Same re: the petpet, that was the tipping point to joining illusen. Going to try and get it attached to one of my pets at release. :P

    But has the charity corner started?

    It is due to start on Monday.

    I see that they've changed the cap from 10 to 30 which is... better, I suppose, but I would much prefer no cap at all so that I can truly clean out my SDB.

  9. The ray is fired at __Ms_Chocolate__...

    The ray is fired at SUGARRUSH235...

    ... and she changes colour to Burlap!!

    WOW. Okay, this is the first time I've zapped this particular pet, because I'm painting my old labbie with a FFQ. This is also the second time I've gotten a burlap zap on one of my VBN pets! xD I do honestly LOVE burlap quiggles, though, so.... I'm kinda tempted to keep him like this for a while? Not permenantly, jelly is my endgame goal, but.... :laugh: that's hilarious nonetheless

    The ray is fired at CUPCAKEXOX...

    ... and she changes colour to Fire!!

    Quite a day of zapping, all things considered!

    The NC element should be in a completely seperate part. Like previous years. Otherwise it's pay NC to get NP which goes against the rules of the site itself!

    I have 75,000 items. If I collect dailies for the full 14 days that's another 500 items odd. I will be able to donate about 1/4 of the random junk I accumulate during the event itself. 

    There's the whole 'more fair to newbies' argument. But how? r200 are worth 15 points. Cheapest is a baby paint brush at 600,000. So 6,000,000np a day for 150 points. Or 150 Shiny Obsidians for more grind but what? 10np each? So 1500np a day. But you can't get 150 points through Obsidians if there's a 10 a day cap. 

    It screws everyone - the old players who spent hours over the last three years prepping. The new players who can't afford 15 point items to donate. And any player who can't afford NC. TNT have outdone themselves on the ridiculousness here.

    It seems they removed it now, but originally the point spread listed r200-500 as worth 15 points. I agree that the NC items should be kept to a seperate system.

    The 'fairer to newbies' argument is, idk, like yeah maybe it's a little unfair but that's just part of being a new player, you're not going to be able to participate in stuff to the same extent that older players can. I've been there myself lol, and I just waited for the next event. Which I suppose only works if they do these events more regularly than they have been over the past few years!

    I really hope that if they're willing to remove the r500s from the general prize pool (assuming that they were meant to be included and that wasn't just a typo) that they lift the cap.

  11. The pay to win aspect is ridiculous. I have a decent amount of NC junk in my bank luckily, but not enough for the entire event, and I'm sure not giving them any more money after the NQ fiasco, so I'll probably be out of luck for whatever the top prize is. On top of still having mountains of worthless junk in my SDB.

    Just disappointing really. Even for my usual expectations for TNT.
