We're to be using html coding, correct? Not CSS? My style tags haven't been showing up once published

When I used to play this on our old, slow computer, there was enough lag so that I always got scores over 2000. Not so much now lol. Never thought I'd miss that old computer.... :ohno:

I got it on my old account. It took a couple months playing 3 times per day. Sometimes you get good powerups, sometimes you don't. It's like Meerca Chase. Sometimes you get good neggs, sometimes you don't. It's annoying, but makes it really satisfying when you finally get it.

What collateral are people typically asking for those kinds of things? Sadly I don't have much for being a member for so long...

 

Depending on what you're looking for and WHEN you're looking, it could be anything from a couple million to over a hundred million. Some people are more trusting and require less collat. Some will take into account your account age and current avatar count. Sometimes there's a combination of the two. If you've been neofriends for awhile, it might be less. On my old account, I was lucky to get ZDAP lent for free after I emailed asking about the collat. I replied that I didn't have enough and, without any collat at all, she sent it over. I was stunned. mind you this was on a 7.5 year old account with around 280 avatars, many stamps and site themes.

 

So I guess to answer your question, it's going to very depending on market state, how many people are currently lending/trading the items, how "seasoned" your account is and who you're borrowing from. For a good estimate, message a couple of people that are lending to get a good idea of what you'll be expected to have for collat.

I don't know if you could even calculate it. Supposedly, it's completely random

I think a KQ one for a certain number of games played would be cool. It might help to deter quitters. Some kind of book avatar for reading a certain number of books to your pet would be fun.

I got it on my old account. I took about 150k out of the bank and was determined to pull until I got it. I think I got it when I had a few hundred np left out of the original 150k.. X.x

Congrats! That's sweet. I too had to pay for mine to get the avatar (about 600k). Getting avatar items (especially expensive ones) in REs or as prizes is always exciting :)

I just realized, it's probably because of item use. Chocolate can be used, making it in greater demand than clothing items that currently cannot be worn, no matter how rare. Hmmm *duh*

Mine's the day after Koi day (May 26). They're kind of cool. Also share a b-day with Lenny Kravitz, Shaweet

Good luck to all of you on the Chocolate! avvie :) Sometimes, all it takes is a lucky click at the right time I guess.

ah ha ha ha ha. It is SO much easier. I went to the shop and without even having to refresh, there was an avvie item. total time? 2 seconds.

I FINALLY got the Chocolate! avvie today after what feels like months refreshing in the chocolate shop. Now I'm going to start trying for the Uni Faboo avatar. Did the peopole who have both find one easier than the other? If so, which one?

I'm one of the lucky people that apparently has inexpensive taste lol. Any pet I find I really like can be attained with fairly inexpensive paintbrushes, so I would definately go for the avvie

Anything that's free is worth doing, I think. Even if I get junk, I usually save it and put it up with the jellies and omlettes I don't use for free trades on the TP. Sometimes you get some good offers. And then there's always the chance you could get something awesome or the avatar

The items she asks for are pretty random, so the prices are too. I've heard of people getting all 50 levels without getting asked for any UBs. But this could be for a number of reasons.

 

The items could have been rare at one point, but (like the recent Faerie Paint Brush boom) had recently been given out in site events.

 

Or they could have been new and hard to find at the time they were programmed into the quests, but at the time you needed to buy them, more had been introduced into the economy, deflating the price.

 

As soon as I get the Judorah avvie, I plan to go back and work on Illusen and see how high I can get without getting asked for UBs.

 

I would say set a limit for yourself on how much you're willing to spend. If you get asked for something over that, then stop. You may get lucky and the things she asks for may be reasonably priced. Good luck :)

I bought mine in late October after the prices had deflated from August. I paid about 35k for it

That's insane. We had a couple false alarms in high school. That was bad enough, but I can't imagine the real thing. Good to know you're ok. The sad thing is, many of these types of situations could be avoided if people were a little kinder to one another. All our love goes out to you and your classmates :wub_anim:

Got Florg today! So looking forward to NEVER playing that again lol

Best idea ever. Usually topics I post are bumped so fast, I never get a response. This time, i got 4 within 5 minutes of posting. I am now the proud owner of a Festive Basket Background! Thanks for the suggestions. I guess this topic can be locked/deleted lol

Ok thanks. So I guess if anyone does have it and is willing to trade, let me know which NC items you would accept in trade. The background was originally 200 NC. I would be willing to overpay to a maximum of 400 NC in trade.

It was an item available from the NC Mall a few years ago. According to jellyneo, it was no longer available after April 2009. If anyone has, or knows someone who has, this backgorund and is willing so sell, please PM or NM me with trade options you would accept. I could trade for other NC Mall items or regular neopoints items (if this is allowed).

 

 

 

 

Also, I wasn't sure which forum to put this in so mods, if it's in the wrong place, feel free to move it :)

That avatar is driving me crazy. my old account had over 3000 games played and my best streak was 6. I guess the more you play, the better chance you have of getting it <_<

I don't know if being able to move ALL of one group would be a good idea (houses/barracks/hospitals can only hold so many at a time), but having some kind of ctrl+click type deal where you could move multiples at once would be awesome. I seperate my P3s by type in the houses, so being able to select multiples to sort them (along with the handy "identification" button that highlights the different kinds) would save time. Currently I only have 40 P3s and it takes awhile to get them all in their houses when they're all tired and hungry. I can't imagine trying to do this with 100+ P3s O.o

The profession toggle is pretty cool. I used to always have to sort through my workers to find stray nesters to put on the nests when my other ones died. It would be cool if they could also implement a mouse-over on the buttons to show how many of each profession you have at a quick glance. once you get up to 40+ P3s, it's hard to know how many you have of each without soring them into structures and counting them.
