congrats! it's the accomplishment rather than the NP that counts, right  

I'm aiming for #6 right now

oh my she has some nerve  I'm dreading to do this some time in the forseeable future for the ava...

how many times have you had to call it quits with her before, due to pricy items like this one? what would you estimate how much you have invested in her at this point?

good points all of you made.

I like to think of it like this: just because a game's prime time is over doesn't mean it's done and over with. while I think neo could still get popular again with today's kids if a serious overhaul would be made (not just a conversion to HTML5 but general declutter and refresh fot the whole site. probably pretty pricy too), it is just not living up to it's potential right now. and still - the core player base is there. it's insane how fast one of the NC items was sold out last year during some item pool renewal! as soon as it was restocked they were gone, it took me like a week to hunt one down, and those were hundreds of items everytime  so my point is, is neo still one of the most popular games out there? no. is there still countless players that have stuck around for decades and will gladly do so for many more? absolutely. is this the definition of a 'dead game'? don't think so  

a warm welcome from me too ennoshima  

social anxiety squad calling in whoo!  

hello there, nice to meet you 

you are right, the current situation is a good reason to get more active on neo  also make sure to catch the easter event and collect your daily negg!

I've heard of people getting old accounts back recently. If you know the email and birthday you used they may be willing to reinstate your old account. 

adding to this, I've heard that posting on the actual neoboards is more helpful and gets you a quicker reply than just opening a support ticket. "highway to help" or something like this the specific board is called I think? good luck, and welcome back of course  

looks all so DELICIOUS... loved the sassy and endulgent vibes from #1 and #8 the most though :D 

great ideas from everyone as always!

I find it kinda sad that there's all these items with outright wrong names. What if someone in the future wants an underwater background, so they search "underwater"? They won't be able to find that one, and it's a pretty background.

that's a really good point I haven't even thought about yet - with thousands of items on neo, this could cause an item to be forgotten about if it doesn't turn up in any relevant searches. bummer. they really should fix the wrong item names at least, weirdish descriptions I can live with.

my personal favorite from this years calendar has to be the Lava Bubbles, they are exactly what I would have wanted but never expected to actually show up :) it fits perfectly for one of my final customs so I'll definitely use it.

You haven't missed out on much. I have not missed even one day this month and all I've gotten is literal rotten food and other rubbish.

have to second that, nothing worth mentioning for me so far aswell.

I made sure to remember by adding both the calendar and snowy to my ist of clickable dailies on my pet page at the beginning of december, so it's a no-brainer. but since the drops are of so little worth, I basically just collect them - like most stuff from dailies - in order to dump it all out again during charity corner  gotta get some of these perks and the rubbish ava

are you actually not having a connection to the internet during that time? or is it just displayed but everything works as per usual?

I like how we always get lots of wearables from the Advent Calendar, but it's usually just trinkets (foreground items, backgrounds, etc) and not clothes you can actually put on your pets (shirts, jackets, shoes, gloves, etc). Hopefully this year we'll get at least a couple of clothes.

I gotta admit, since I'm not into customizing my pets in a humanoid style, I prefer getting trinkets and ornaments. However, none of them this year seem to be of any use for me so far... I mean come on, that floating bori arm with a beverage in its hand?!  oof

@Trea you can take a look at the TDN item database and check out the newest added items :)

EDIT: uhh nevermind this has been answered already... my chrome just glitched and didn't refresh properly oops  

yup what @hrtbrk said is the same I've heard before. switching your main is allowed as often as you like, but there has to be a 24 hour time period between doing any activities than generate money on one account before you can to them again on the other one, for example dailies or playing games. basically TNT doesn't want you to make any profit from having several accounts, but they don't care which one of your 5 (I think?) allowed accounts you use as your main one :) 

didn't even think of the programming side of this. definitely seems like a lot of effort for a slim chance of result. 

in any case, you're on the safe side with only using non-bookish pets for that pastime @Sciurus carolinensis

I'm in love with today's omelette themed book~ 

non-christmas-and-more-general-neo items are always my favorite :) 

oh wow, didn't know this was one of the possible outcomes. good question!

this is just a random guess but I'd say you still keep the ava, the reasoning being that you get it for reading the book, not remembering it... but I totally agree with @jellysundae, it's the kind of cruelty ingenuity TNT could be capable of

There's no Angelpuss this year; you have to click on the Santa Hat to get the bonus prize (which was on top of the stack of presents to the left).

oh okay THAT makes sense thanks :) I was already dreading clicking random things throughout the month lol

finally - best neo month of the year :)

oof, took me forever to get the bonus prize though. I'm still not sure what I clicked on, but what had worked for some people (clicking the stack of presents right of the stockings) didn't work for me - I had to click the presents to the left. not even sure WHAT I clicked on, I didn't see an angelpuss

have fun everybody!

Hello there fellow 26 year old  nice to meet you sasha! I'm kate :)

I have a pit bull / dalmatian mix named Cookie--she's the best  

this sounds SO cute. I'd love to see cookie if you're willing to show them! I've been wanting to get a pit bull myself once I'm all set and ready for a dog life-wise, but dalmatians have also always been a favorite. don't think I've ever seen them mixed though

Right now I'm working on my avatar count, which is at a healthy 237 right now. My goal is to finish out all of the obtainable avatars by the end of next year. If you're working on avatars too, let's chat! I'd love to hear about any tips and tricks that you use to get your count higher.

I'm mainly working on my ava count ever since I came back from my last hiatus as well - TDN's lending program sure helped a lot with that my final goal is 333, since I  thought that I could realistically reach that and it simply looks nice. not sure what I'll do once I've reached that and ever go over it by accident lol... but that will take some time so it's a future-kate problem  

Unfortunately I don't really have any tips in particular... I'd say choose a specific bunch and focus on those for a while until you move on to the next batch, that's at least how I've been doing it. I also added all the date-specific avas to my regular calendar so I won't miss them on the next rotation  Lemme know how you're making progress!

oh wow thanks for reminding me of the discord channel. I've joined before but never actually hung out there to talk. gotta do that some time in the future, maybe during the advent calendar :) see probably you there soon, @Bingo

Is that what you did?

I'll admit I stayed fighting the Chia Clown WAY longer than I should have, because I'm a big chicken.

yep that's what I did!
and oh my, it's almost embarassing to admit how long I kept fighting that clown just to get those items for my pack rat ava instead of putting in any actual effort with training haha  funny to hear others were in the same boat   on a slightly different note, I was so disappointed once I got the hang of the BD to find out the punchbag ava is basically broken since the oponent hasn't been seen in years. one less ava I could get for my longterm goal...

it's just copying the info from his table there into the drop-downs on the betting page, simple as and doesn't take long. With a ten year old account you'd be able to bet quite a lot if you wished! So when things went well your returns would be great.

This is my winnings.

You can see I more than doubled my money.

holy smokes! it IS easier and way more profitable than I ever thought  I'll check it out as soon as december gets me back into the hardcore neo mood, thanks!

also about the battle training - I never bothered with battledome before earlier this year aswell. (you might be asking yourself what I DID do before on neo - I'm in love with all the pretty item artwork...  ) so I, too, have no idea how it would take me to get there. but good hint using the faerie quest event to get there, will do that!

hi kimoto -

welcome to the forum :) I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean by you lost your 'two days'? 
about what you could do here - TDN is a nice way to keep in touch with other neo players that are still active these days. for some people like me who get reaaally confused by the outdated layouts on the official neoboards this is a really helpful alternative

anyways, enjoy your stay :)

I just realized after being all hyped up - at strength 93 that walein is way beyond my capabilities :'D oh well maybe some day. 

@aleu1986 I have to admit, I was never able to wrap my head around the food club stuff. to be fair I lost interest shortly into the explanation because it seemed so complex. what profits exactly can you expect with a, let's say, 10 year old account? how much of a time sink is it as a daily activity?

Recently I've switched to the Giant Spectral Mutant Walein instead of the Koi Warrior. A fellow ninja on the Shenkuu board said she fights him rather than the Koi as you get more codestones. Ofc my ears perked up at that so I checked him out, and she's right!

 

oh wow, I need to check that out then! nice, thanks for the hint! ... I can't stand seeing that koi anymore anyways  
I'll join the GSMW testgroup and report back with my results.
