Due to the lag and... others... TNT has decided to lower the requirement for the exclusive prize from 15 to 8 completed Adopt-A-Neopian quests.

 

You will achieve this prize immediately once you complete 8 quests. Yay!

 

Deck the halls with boughs of junk ! Fa la la la best news ever.

 

This is making me feel a lot better about my chances.

 

Thank you TNT.

Oh, TNT. Just when I think I'm done with this event, you pull me back in.

 

But yay, this is awesome news! :D

Thank goodness! Maybe I'll actually be able to complete 8 of them. There was no way I was going to be able to do the 15/17.

I'm so impressed with TNT as of late. *insert Christmas warm and fuzzies* I feel they've turned over a new leaf and are actually starting to take our feedback to heart.

Wow! Way to go, Jumpstart! This is lovely :)

 

It's great for me because I'll have completed 8 quests by the 22nd, which is exactly the eve of my (no-internet-connection) trip! :D

Hopefully they take note of what they did with the pencil case so that those who aren't rich like me can actually do the adopt a neopian.

 

I don't want to do the adopt a neopian but I also don't want to miss out on the exclusive item. :(

As much as I complain about TNT, this event is really good. Stops the inflation of r99 stamps. But I do sympathize for those who recently bought expensive items for a lotta moneh

Oh! That's such wonderful news! Only 6 more to go for me then and I can pick and choose more carefully! Hurrah to TNT and Jumpstart!

Does 8 "quests" mean the adopt-a-neopian part only, or just # of time donated?

 

Edit: Nevermind - news page just loaded lol. It is the adopt-a-neopian part.

 

 

 

Even so... this goal still seems financially and time-wise unobtainable for me. :( e.g. I didn't get to do the quests yesterday because I spent half an hour trying to load shop wiz, shop pages, buy items, etc. and ran out of time to finish before "real" life got in the way.

 

I appreciate that TNT is trying to take our struggles into consideration, but the site is like pretty much unuseable. =/

Yes you can get a link. http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?/topic/43412-new-charity-corner-is-here/there you go.

I'm glad to see this change. It would be nicer if people would stop inflating their junk during an event like this and just be happy people are buying stuff rather then having their shops sit full with no customers. As long as they're not crazy ridiculous when I go to complete the Adopt a Neopian part, I'll most likely complete them all.

Well that's a relief! I got lucky today with the pencil case, but I had serious doubts that my luck would hold out. Hopefully I'll be able to do 6 more quests :D

:woot: That's more than good news! :happydance:

TNT's been paying attention and realized their s***w-up, that's something!

Hope has been restored! Thanks for the good news! :happydance:

Yay this is excellent :O

I'm not totally convinced this will stop inflation of items from 1np to 500k but it does make me have more faith in JumpStart :)

The inflation will likely get better- the knowledge that you only need about half of them to get the av should help a lot since more people will be willing to skip, and therefore the high prices will get the sellers all of nowhere. I doubt it'll totally stop, but I'd expect something significantly more reasonable- if any of the items settle at at more than 50k each I'd be surprised. Which isn't great but it IS doable.

 

I'd expect the very last day or two to get bad (as people will be trying to get those last few) but overall it'll be a MUCH better change, and if things go in an average manner most people will have all ready gotten it, helping balance out those needing the items at the end.

Haven't been able to afford the big ticket items. :( Would be better to just award the avie for participation/donating. I hate avies based on wealth.

This is awesome news! I won't be online much as the holidays get closer so I hope to to be able to finish at least 8 quests.

Is the Adopt-a-Neopian new every day, or is it every certain amount of hours? Also, was the pencil case really that big of a deal? I have like five of them!

Oh this is so much more encouraging. Inflation is still going to be an issue, but hopefully not as bad as it was today. That pencil case was a wreck and I simply got lucky with it.

Hand them out to friends or sell them. Earlier today they were seriously going for 500k. Insane. And yes, new every day.

Waah...I haven't even completed one quest yet. -rushes over to see what all of the fuss is about-

Every day is a new one. It's like a daily in that regard. lol

 

And the pencil case is going for like 250k last I checked on the TP.
