8ahamut Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hi I'm fairly new on the forums, but not so much on Neopets. i was around when it near enough first started but then got on with my life. (ive done a search and im pritty sure no one else has posted this here, but sorry if someone already has :() so ive missed out on alot of plots that have already been and gone. also missing out on site layouts and trophey's. wouldn't it be great if TNT staff allowed users to re-do these plots again ? not for new memebers who have just joined NP, but those who have been around for a while like myself, who missed out on plots since they joined ? or maybe re-doing all plots but im sure just for a week or so at a time ? what does everyone else thing ? i know that you can get some dailes from old plots, like the Altdor(sp) plot.

stephie23 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Hey, welcome to TDN forums. I think that if they were to allow plots to be re-done (which I think would be AWESOME) they would have to allow everyone to do them. I don't think it should be only accessible to some people. And how do you sort the people who started when neo started and lost their accounts and had to restart from people who are just starting now... I could possibly see them doing this ... but my fear is that they'd use NC to force people to pay if they want to re-do old plots... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.A.V. Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 This would be awsome, I think it could happen soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Im not so sure it will happen soon. A new plot might not even happen soon. *sigh* ... although we DID just solve bonju, so maybe TNT will give us a new plot as a reward ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reve Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I don't think they should redo any of the old plots. :/ That takes away from the specialness and significance of having participated in it. The trophies, avatars, and site themes -- and the memories -- wouldn't mean anything anymore. (And I'm not saying that because I managed to participate in all the plots and events since I joined; I have missed out on several that I wish I had participated in.) Besides, wouldn't that be rewinding history and doing it over again? It just wouldn't make sense. (As much as I'd like time to rewind back to the 60s, it's just not gonna happen. xD Time marches on.) And then there's the issue of which plots should they redo, and then to be fair it would have to be kept open permanently otherwise people who join after the redo is over would miss out, etc. etc. It would just be confusing and completely unnecessary. I'm sorry you missed out on a plot you wanted to do, we all have (Cyodrake's Gaze D: ). Life isn't fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Well. In the real world they do that kind of thing all the time. (especially with games). examples: Monkey Island 1 has been updated to include better graphics and voice actors (it was made in early 90's). -> released as Monkey Island Special Edition SuperMario bros.: released on SuperNes, re-released on GBA (and subsiquently new ones on DS) Donkey Kong: released on SuperNes, re-released on GBA Pokemon red and blue: released for Game boy colour, re-released for GBA as leaf green and fire red... I could go on... And its not 'rewinding time as you say' Hell ***( was this my swear word***)? (sorry) if I could do that I'd friggen buy up all those dang bonju books. --> as for keeping it open permenantly? no I think not. Just advertise the plots well (like a month in advance maybe). You're just making it seem more complicated. And yes life isnt fair, but that really has nothing to do with re-releasing plots (its not for fairness its more for the fact they havent released a good plot in AGES, and it would be COOL!) Now I think it would be an AWESOME idea to re-release plots, they can give out NEW trophies for them (like they do when they release a new version of a game...) They can give out NEW prizes. And they can choose wether or not to update the plots to look better or just re-release them.. This post has been edited by a member of staff (Ruto) because of a violation of the forum rules.

blaque-plaque Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 YES. I REALLY want to be a part of the old plots! I want the avatars from them most of all. QQ I've actually been on Neopets for over 6 years, but with lost accounts and being frozen, and being inactive I missed a lot of what I should have been a part of.

Luciana Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I don't like the idea. Sure, it sounds kinda nice, but the plots are done and over with. It's like neopets history. If you weren't on neopets during the time these plots were going on well... too bad. I'd rather there be a new plot than just re-releasing old ones :\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eekabee Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I have to say I hope they don't redo old plots because it wouldn't be the same if I replayed the LD plot knowing all the answers. Since guides for old plots are out there it's less of a plot and more of free trophy with attached prizes, so all plot trophies would become like the altador plot and punching bag bob trophy, pretty but not really much of an achievement. PS Sorry if this makes less than no sense, I'll probably need to come back and edit it after I sleep off mizzou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n.z._WAT?! Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I'm gonna have to sude with Reve on this one...and I've only done the Altador one. It would take away the uniqueness of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephie23 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 maybe they can be released in game format then ... like not a plot, but ... a 'game plot', I dunno ... I prob am not making any sense, but it would be cool to be able to play through those again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ahamut Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 that would seem a better idea, you can still get the avitars etc etc and themes, but its in a game format and made quite difficult. that way the guides and solutions for these plots, cant be used as its with-in a Flash game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 *sighs* I know! I wish TNT would let us go back and redo them. I lost my main (6 yrs old) and now I have no trophies practically to grace my new userlookup :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruto Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I don't like the idea. The trophies, avatars, and themes wouldn't be as special that way. Sure, you'd have something else to add to that collection, but in the end, it will just collect dust and be meaningless. I missed the LD plot, but I'm not looking to redo it and take away the specialness from some people. Not sure if that made sense. :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kex Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I don't think plots should be redone. Plots were pretty much what shaped the site back in the day, and redoing them would serve no logical purpose other than giving younger accounts trophies. It's not like you can rediscover the Lost Desert or pretend the Virtupets Space Station hasn't been there for nine(coming up on ten) years.

Zihao Kevin Mi Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 True, but i think they should come out with a new plot for us to do. That way, we at lease have some light in neopets. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kex Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 True, but i think they should come out with a new plot for us to do. That way, we at lease have some light in neopets. :D Absolutely. Some of the old plots were wonderful; I'd love to see Neopets return to that kind of storytelling. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midookami Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I've never started a plot from the very beginning, so while I don't want TNT to bring up the old plots again (that will be unfair for the people who did the plot at the time XD )... I'd love a new plot! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickabloodworth Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 ARGH I soooooo wish that with would happen!!! I have missed out on basically every single plot, or ive had to start over because of various reasons. I would LOVE to be able to get those trophies again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comawhite Posted December 9, 2009 Share Posted December 9, 2009 I missed quite a few plots.It seems while I was on neopets in the beginning nothing much was happening,but as soon as I took a break (okay it was a 2 year break) There was plot after plot or site event after site event :( It would be nice if we could do those over,but it wouldn't be fair.I guess if I hadn't took that break I would have been able to participate,so it's my own fault.
