patricebee

From the Faerie Caverns I got 25000 and the Beautiful Glowing Wings!!

 

So excited!

 

 

"I was doing my dailies and went to Anchor Management expecting to get my usual two dubloon coin or a forgotten shore map piece, but instead I got a pirate draik morphing potion!! The best surprises are when you expect junk but get treasure!"

 

I am excited for you and for others who get this. My only selfish concern is that TNT is trying to deflate draiks. I wonder why? I would say that they are trying to make the new pet more desired but then why not make it LE?

Only the pets that I named:

lonibee - my dog is named "Kaloni" and her nickname is "bee" so just a combo of the two

luluhead - I thought "lulu" was cute but taken. For some reason the "head" part just stuck (my favorite neopet and my BD pet)

Pearljay - named after my favorite band but their name was taken and I must say wasted on a pet that is rotting :(

gabrie11a - I just love that name but the correct form was taken

Tyrannius_Maximus - it fits my darigan grarrl

Kalohni - again, the proper version was taken and is on a rotting pet. This one is a skunk lupe to reflect my dog (see avatar)

chat_des_bois - in French "cat of the woods" for my woodland wocky

lulabellita - my pretty female lenny - lula and luluhead must be related. :D

Auriennee - an extended version of the French name "Aurienne,", which I love

Nikkika - my baby lenny and named after a family member

Mattax - my stealth draik - just liked the name

Catrienne - again with the French names

Zilza - Just liked it

Zizzelle - was originally a female, yellow chia and the second cousin to a Brazillian supermodel. Now zapped into a snot yurble. Yuck

Qyzy- a phonetic version of "Kizzy".

 

I like your names and the origins. Love our pets!!

Okay, I thought today would have nothing special, and then I redeemed my gold KQ key:

 

 

I FREAKED OUT! I am so rich now, woo!

 

If anyone wants it, I will put it on the trading post for 415,000 NP :)

I got that piece of the lab map from a RE! Today was a good day. :D

Hmmm... I had the same issue with a lightmite. One day I got one from a RE and it was going for well over 4M on the TP. I was going to list it two days later and it dropped by 3M. I really believe that a lot of shady stuff goes on on the TP. I try to avoid it as much as I can.

I can't get on at all. When I try to log on, it just refreshes repeatedly. Maybe I should do something else. :woot:

Oh - sigh..... I may have to take a big risk with the pound then. Gulp.

Thanks very much for your help

I am trying to transfer my draik that I hatched on a side account to another account. The account that the draik is currently on is just 1 month old so I thought that I could do the transfer today. However when I attempt the transfer, it says "your account is not old enough to transfer this pet". Does the account have to be 4 months old to transfer the pet? The account that I am trying to transfer it to is almost 5 years old so that's not the problem.

Yeah - that really is the only way to do it. Get into restocking/Food Club/Stocks/Habitarium to make some NPs so that you can buy the pieces.

If you have an older account, I highly recommend Food Club. You can make tens of thousands if not hundreds of thousands of NPs a day.

I've made a side account, but I still am not able to send in a ticket. On one internet browser, it comes up blank after I click on 'submit a ticket' on another browser, it says 'this page is no longer available.'

I had the same issue and discovered that you HAVE to accept third party cookies in order for the Help/Submit A Ticket page to work. Also ensure that you use IE or Chrome.

 

Good luck! I think it's the "necro" part of the name that they have an issue with.

Okay you guys have convinced me NOT to contact TNT!! Lol.... Which is sad because you would think that they would appreciate honesty and people trying to do the right thing. I won't mention it anywhere else but here. I'm sorry about your old account, minniemeggie. That truly is sad.

 

Yeah, a few were expensive, a few not so much but none are worth getting frozen over so I think I'll just dump 'em. Sigh... I'm more upset that my friend didn't tell me the truth from the beginning. We are supposed to see each other later this summer. That will be interesting!! Thanks everyone - I appreciate all the input.

Yeah - do it. You'll get a couple of gift boxes too so you can trade items if you want to.

 

I do buy online from gametimezone and have never had an issue. They actually called me to make sure that it was me who bought from them (good service!). There are no physical cards in my area (checked all the stores) so this is my only option for these cards.

Yay for San Francisco!! :D Sorry about your boring friend. I guess we can't click with everyone.

 

Yeah - I met a woman who I clicked with and I found out that she played NP. We became NFs and then I just found out that she's a cheater. Ugh!!

So a friend of mine (one I've met in real life) had her account frozen. I was shocked when I found out and then this morning she admitted to me that she had done some things that were against the rules. Included in that was buying (using real money) items from sellers. I am really disappointed. She apologized to me because honestly I feel like she may have put me in jeopardy. She has given me items and now I question whether they were obtained legally or not. She said that they were and that she never gave me anything that she bought but of course I am doubtful.

 

Would you keep these items? Dump them? Ask TNT about it (I'm wary of that too - I have heard that they are very freeze happy)? I haven't done anything wrong but I don't know if I trust her word now since she hid this from me.

 

I should have known. I asked her why the name on the account was different from her name and she said that it was a knickname. :sad01_anim: I'm so stupid.

 

Btw - she obtained two UC pets within the last few months and I thought it was weird that she could get a UC with the pets she had but now I'm thinking that they were probably bought too. :(

I do have the SSW and so it's pretty simple (except for lab pieces, PBs, etc.). And here's a gripe about all this. I understand people wanting to be the lowest and get their items sold so if I put an item at 80,000NPs (lowest at the moment) and someone else comes along and puts their item slightly lower than mine (say a couple thousand), then I understand. I may or may not go lower depending on if I think the item will sell anyway. What irritates me is when someone puts the item at tens of thousands of NPs lower - say 50000 or something like that. Why?? Why are they undercutting by so much? They are hurting themselves and other sellers. They make less NPs and then the item depreciates so that people expect that as the price now. You want to sell fast? Fine - put it a few thousand less and wait 12 hours. If it's still not sold, go a few thousand lower. It WILL sell but there is no sense in losing tens of thousands of NPs.

Probably the fact that KQ, which could be a good way to earn some NPs, is soooo glitchy! Coco and I can't even start a game without it glitching up!

 

Also, I really dislike the fact that we can't convert back our pets to UC if we originally didn't have a choice in the matter. I remember not logging into one of my side accounts for a long time, and they automatically converted my pets. :(

Ugh - that's not right! I was on hiatus at that point and so I had to start all over again anyway (old account had been purged) so I had no idea that they did that without people's permission.

 

My frustrations: the games do bore me. With the AC - I detest Slushie Slinger!! Ugh!! The others are just tiresome too so I don't play much. Maybe I'll get a "Participation" medal or something. Whoopee!

 

I agree with the lack of items for Maraquan/Mutant pets. I just got a Maraquan Wocky and there is not much for her to wear. Also if you trade NC at all, you know that the whole GBC and lack of boxes is a nightmare. I think it's really unfair that if I buy an item and later want to transfer it to a side account, that I then need to buy a GBC to get a box to transfer the item. It's very expensive and honestly I think TNT would make more money if they did away with the boxes. People could then afford to buy more items!! It also would be better for customer relations as we would be happier. Just my opinion.

Yeah - it could have been a glitch.

Curly - consider playing with someone from this forum. They are really cool and there is a thread where you can meet other people to play and decide HOW you are going to play prior to beginning.

Really nice, original type of gallery. Great job!

Is that the account - Artesy? If so, I think it's Premium - correct? If it is or if you've ever bought anything through the NC Mall, tell TNT in your ticket this information. That is VERY important because they really pay attention to tickets from Premium members. Also you could prove it's your account with a credit card number (unless the person who compromised your account has that too?? which would mean that you have bigger problems!). Tell them all the NC purchases you have made (as much as you can remember) and if you have receipts in your e-mail, then give them the transaction numbers. The more info you remember, the better. What are the big items in your SDB (if they haven't been stolen), your gallery and what auctions or TP lots did you last have. Anything that there may be a record of, let them know about. Who were your NFs? VIPs? Let me think. If you go to the Neo boards and look under Games, there is a thread there for people whose accounts have been stolen/compromised. They have a lot of info there. GL to you!

Thanks - I thought it was strange too. I went ahead and created the grarrl tonight. Now I just need to save up for the PB.

 

Oh my goodness...you gave a high-end pet away without a direct trade?! I wouldn't blame you for never trading again (save moving between your accounts.) UGH!

Yeah - that was pretty goofy on my part actually. I was new to trading (although I'm still new since I haven't really done it but once). It does make me a little more wary about things or as they say, live and learn.

Well it turns out they don't exist (a Tyrannian grarrl) but she was going to give me a faerie grarrl. I already have my other dream pet - a faerie lenny (a UC is impossible).

 

I did try to remind her but then she came back with "well if you had a draik... j/k!! XD". Hmm... not sure she was kidding. Anyway, I still blame myself but I'm just a little disappointed. C'est la vie!

Oh - and her other pet she that wants is a krawk - which is what I gave her. Really strange.

You're right. Although I'm not mad or anything because in the beginning I was just trying to give someone their dream pet. Then I think she got caught up in the moment and offered her pet to me. So it wasn't really an expected 1:1 trade and I would never expect TNT to get involved. It's just that she doesn't remember saying this and if I had saved the NMs, then I could point it out to her.

Stealth and RoyalGirl with Royalboy colors.

Awesome. So Neopets is good for us! :D

So I made a mistake of not keeping my Neomails regarding a pet trade and now I am paying for it. I gave this person a higher end pet not long ago and she was so excited that she said that she would give me her middle of the road pet (not as desired by trading standards) but a pet that I do want. I said great! Thanks so much but I have to wait until my side account is 4 months old to accept her pet. So that is coming up very soon. I wrote her and said "so excited to get Xxxxxxx next week!". She wrote back "Great! What are you offering?". I scratched my head and realized that she had no recollection of it. I reminded her but she truly didn't remember. She said it was so long ago (about three months) and that she had already traded the pet that I gave to her. :/ I don't think she remembered that it was me who even gave her that pet.

 

Sigh.... so now I will create my own and buy a PB for it. I don't blame her because she really doesn't remember and I should have saved the NMs. Sigh....

My friend JUST sold their Virtupets. Soooo jealous!
