April 1st

Soooooo March s coming to an end, which means we are going to get pranked by TNT again! I always thoroughly enjoy watching the uproar on the boards when people don't realize what date it is.

 

So, what do you guys think is going to happen this Sunday? Will they even do something, seeing that it falls on a Sunday and TNT doesn't work in the weekend? Have you ever been caught by one of TNT's pranks? And which one did you like the best?

 

Here is a list of all the pranks TNT played on us:

Personally, I think TNT love to drive us crazy, so I think they will be coming in this Sunday, just to make our life miserable. :P I really have no idea about what exactly they will be doing, but it will probably be crazy again! I missed last years prank due to hiatus, but I am looking forward to see what they have in store for us this time. I myself was royally pranked by the neocharge thing in 06. I was fairly new to the site (my account was only 5 1/2 months old) and had no idea TNT did something like this every year. I hadn't accumulated a lot of NP yet and was devastated! I was seriously ready to quit! Pretty funny, when I think about it now. :P Also, the bugeye mcgee thing was horrible. I knew it was a prank, but c'mon, I was ready to kill him! LOL

 

So, what were your favorite pranks? Any predictions for this year? :)

I was thinking about this earlier .... I think the best prank ever was the site uphaul from Neopets to Neopetz and the Neopointz and that cool skater dude who took over Neopia for a day hehe ... I remember thinking "I will definitely quit Neo now!!" ...

My favorite prank always has and probably always will be the Neopoint tax for pageviews. Everyone flipping out, quitting, sending angry emails, it was a hectic time and glorious all the same.

>:C I HAD ALREADY PLANNED A BOARD LIKE THIS! HOW COULD YOU!? I'll just paste my topic here:

 

Best:

 

2010: We got to pull pranks on our Neofriend's pets. Throwing pies on them, turning them into a different species and colour, making them look as if the Lab Ray had turned theim into a pile of dust, and sliming them was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, if you didn't get the Random Event you could not participate, which isn't fun if you don't get REs often.

 

2005: This was the year of the 50 new species. When that was over we got to vote for out favourite and that new pet would be an official Neopet! Of course, as we all know, the Gnorbu won, with some tweaking and a name change.

From Llamameeah..................to Gnorbu!

 

Some of the April Fools pets became Petpets, such as the Calbat, Slymook, Camariller, Gwalla, Soreen, Duocorn, Petoot, and Urchull.

 

My favourtie out of these was the Sharkaw, I thought it was a pretty, lynx-like pet.

Worst:

 

2011: Hate to say it but I thought last year's prank was pretty cruel, making all our pets sick with the Scourgies. I didn't like that one as much, having to heal our pets every 30 minutes with temporary cures and worse, making our pets expressions ACTUALLY look like they were sick. I was pretty fond of the Magical Healing Slorgs however.

 

 

Here's to hoping this year's prank will be a hoot, happy April Fool's (This is NOT a joke!)

I really enjoyed the 50 Neopet prank. Some of the artwork was just brilliant! I wish they had allowed us to pick more than one design. I wasn't happy with how the Liamameeah turned out. (Sorry Gnorbu fans).

 

The taxing one wasn't so great.

 

It's really hard to pull a prank when everyone is anticipating it on that single day. xD I wasn't around for the last year prank.

 

^^ Can't wait to see what unique idea they will come up with!

LOL did anyone check jellyneo's frontpage yet? XD It's pretty funny :P

 

 

EDIT: OK I found the prank.... Everyone go check out the shop wiz.

 

I truly hope this isn't the only thing because i think it's kinda lame..... :/

There's thisss on the news for no one that's seen it:

 

"NOTICE - Due to increasing numbers of Neopets causing core dumps on our database servers, we had to make some changes to how the site performs. Unfortunately, this means we will have to purge some Neopets from the system. Starting on Monday, each account will only be allowed three Neopets rather than four. In the next few hours, we will be sending Neopets into the Pound and purging the Pound itself by the end of today (Sunday). If you would like to help us out, please visit the Pound and send a Neopet of your choice to it! If one is not chosen by the time we start running the Automated Pound Transfer script, a random Neopet will be chosen for you and taken to the Pound to be purged. Please stay tuned for further updates! We apologize for the inconvenience."

 

I think it's a bit lame, to be honest. Plus, I only have three neopets on my account anyway. Take that TNT! :P

 

 

EDIT: Went to the pound and saw this:

I find it interesting that they seem to be threatening to force-pound my basic pet as opposed to the recently painted ixi and lab-only coloured pet. EDITx3 COMBO: Apparently it's your active they target. Hmm...

 

Shop Wiz is down, but not auction genie or TP. Stay tuned.

There's a problem with shop wizard (he still returns results, you just can't see the cost without entering the shop, instead you see random words and math formulas and whatnot), and in trades, and this is quite recent, there's a tyrannian neopet standing guard who won't let you trade anything but dung and no more than 1000 np...

I hate this prank. After this I think I will promise myself never to pound my pets again.

Have you looked searched the auctions, or actually tried to bid on anything in the TP? No Dice at the moment.

Interesting developments so far. The threat of pounding pets would be rather mean, if people panicked and tried to pound a pet, and were actually able to.

 

I especially love the SW at the moment. Slightly irritating if you really want to use it, but amusing.
