crrryde Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Hi! I'm probably posting this in the wrong place, or doing something else wrong that will get me edited by a staff member, but I'm still super new here, so go easy please! Okay, so last night I just purchased NC items for the first time ever, not including the purchases I made with the free 150 NC they give out, and the 25 NC I made playing Monkey Quest. It wasn't as great a feeling as I thought it would be, but it was still pretty awesome, aside from some regrets I had. But I was surprised to see some of the things I saw when I got my free 150 NC item a few weeks back had disappeared. Do they really pull stuff off the shelves in such little time? I feel like I have to constantly creep the NC mall to find something truly beautiful before it gets 'retired'. It's like a mission now to see who can get the really cool stuff before it gets yanked, and who just gets the semi-cool stuff (AKA me, unfortunately). I say that last part because, upon looking at retired NC Mall items (mainly wings and backgrounds) on Open Neo's 'Dress To Impress', I realized the stuff in the mall now is far from as cool as it used to be, and I felt like I had just wasted the early birthday money my aunt mailed to me that I used for NC cards. :/ So do they have specific times before they yank stuff deep into the dark caverns of retirement, or is it just random? And I saw these really awesome [retired] candy cane wings, so might they be back in Christmastime, or perhaps a different type of super pretty Holiday wearable? Surely there will be, but if any of you have any guess on what it might be, I'd love to hear! Now, with all that being said, when will they release a bunch of new, hopefully even cooler stuff? I saw today that they added a new pair of wings (the chocolate-dipped waffle wings) and I managed to snatch them (hooray! I don't regret buying that one! <3) But I mean, when will they release a bushel of new things (not just something here and there, very gradual), or do they even do that? Idk. If any of you can help me, I'd be ever so thankful. :3! x PS: How do you do NC trades? I heard that it's indeed possible. Is it okay for me to trade an NC item I have on my side account to my main account? (Probably not, but it's worth an ask.) Can you conduct NC item trades (with a fellow NC buyer, of course) on an account that is less than four months old? Again, thanks for any help I may get~!

Mouseykins Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 In the NC mall there are seasonal shops such as summer, autumn, winter, spring etc. These items are only available for a limited time and in the mall when you click on the item it will tell you the date it's retiring. Usually items that are set to retire at a specific time will have a black star beside the item name. In regards to TNT pulling items from the mall they do this at the end of the season. Some items they may bring back in the seasonal shops, so you might be able to see the wings in the winter shop this year but there are no guarantees. Some items are also limited to NC events such as Stocking Stufftackular. More information on these events can be found here. Items are usually released daily Monday-Friday from the NC mall. You can always check our database on this page to see what the newest items we've added are. In order to do NC trades you need gift boxes. What you do is place your item inside the gift box and send it to it's recipient. You can gift NC items from your main to your side, or vice versa, as well as to other users. With regards to the account being 4 months old, that I'm not sure about. I only use my main and it's well over tha mark. I hope this helps and if you need any other assistance let us know. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebecca~ Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 From what I've heard, there is no 4 month restriction on trading NC items. :) I don't have any first hand experience, but it shouldn't be an issue. As Mouseykins said, you need giftboxes (but you should have gotten some when you redeemed your NC cards. :)). If you decide to trade with another user, make sure you make a board about it, or something. There is no Trading Post for NC items, so you can't guarantee that you will be getting your item in return. People usually do a safeguard by making a board about the trade, so other people can kind of do a neighbourhood watch thing, and you can get verification that the other party agreed to the trade.

vyvren Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I don't know exactly when this happened, but in the most recent issue of the NT there is a Q&A about retiring Mall items: How often do you retire items? Could you consider retiring some of the old backgrounds? Mystical Surroundings is always so full! ~katrineaufdeutschIt depends. Yes. We agree. Twelve of the least popular / lowest rarity are now retired. As for the account age, I can actually answer that :P My new main is two months old and I've already traded quite a bit, so you won't have any problems there c: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sells NP backgrounnds, not NC ones, yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
