Alyah Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I refreshed that page for 2 weeks and i didn't get the avatar! Is it normal or i am very unlucky ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyssa Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 You are very unlucky.. I´m sorry. Keep refreshing. Also, this may sound offensive, but make sure you don't already have it... if you have a lot of avatars, it could be that you missed this one in your list xD; I've had that on my previous account.

Alyah Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 I've checked that many times and i really don't have it xD Thanks anyway ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoptotheloo Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I've given up on this avatar... Should probably start refreshing again. :P I know your pain though. xD I've done it for a fair few hours for a while every other day, (not constant constant, but enough) and still nothing... Oh well... -shrugs- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RohanX Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 oh well that sucks! all you have to do is just keep refreshing and refreshing. just like the magma pool! except the magma pool took 2 days and not 2 weeks... have luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imxsorryxixam Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Just hold down F5 then every couple minutes check your avvie count. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyah Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 I've been doing this during these 2 weeks xD i hold down F5 for hours but i just don't get the avatar. :guiltysmiley: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spritzie Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I haven't been able to get this yet. I've tried refreshing a good amount on a few occasions. And btw, I believe I've read that holding down F5 is considered cheating by TNT. Though I did hear that in regards to attaching petpetpets. But I would think that would apply here too.

Secre Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I thought it was only considered cheating if you put and left an item on the F5 key as then you are not doing it yourself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viridian Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 Yes. Refreshing constantly is against the rules for you increase your chance for random events and you might use a 'bot' doing so for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vixensykerd Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Just stick the telly on and keep hitting refresh (obviously not too often incase TNT things your an automatic refresher and freezers you). Took me around 2 months but I got there in the end. Don't bother checking for the event though, just keep checking your avatar count on your userpage :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaoticgirl Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 It took me an awfully long time as well. The refreshing can definitely get boring :( Don't worry though, it isn't unusual for it to take a while. You will get it eventually! :yes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzled_Shortcake Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I'm coming up on a week now--and I still haven't gotten the avatar. I have the Game Graveyard page bookmarked so whenever I get onto Neopets, that's what I click on. Once I'm there, I refresh a couple of times and then move on to dailies or whatever. I really hope it doesn't take me 2 months! yeesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avia loves Chias Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 for tnt's official statement on refreshing, check the question in this editorial. http://www.neopets.com/ntimes/index.phtml?section=editorial&week=219 holding down F5 is not a freezable offense by itself. how much you do it and by what means matters. edit: oh oops. this thread is kind of old.

qtiejelly Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Well on a hind sight all those refreshing didn't incur a Pant Devil appearance hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soul Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 So after reading all this, I manually held down F5 for 5 min and got the avatar somewhere along the line. Is that super lucky or what? I realise this topic is around a year old so maybe the frequency changed somewhere along the line? Maybe my internet connection (~100 mb/s) and computer speed (Substantially Juiced up for Witcher III playing) made it register more often? idk -IR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scannerj Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Congrats Soul! You've given me hope that one day it'll finally happen for me. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
