Lag Prizes Are Back! Claim them now!

I think it's really cute that they've given us things to say sorry about the lag, I know it's just a token gesture but it's nice of them to bother. Has this been done much before then?

I was to ask about this random thing yesterday... because I don`t saw the message in the time everyone saw it (~25th I think) and now I have the prizes without seeing it :P Thanks!

I thought the same, they are cute :3

It is sweet of them to give us stuff in apology. I always like it when the companies behind the things I enjoy acknowledge when they've messed up or when things have been shaky for a while and make an effort to show that they do care by giving us stuff. Kinda makes the people in charge seem more human.

 

That said, while I got a load and got mine, the title of this topic can also be read as "Lag prizes are back! Quick, crash the site!"

I still sort of feel like the site could be faster. Maybe i should just go reset my internet or something lol.

During peak hours when more people are online the site is a bit laggy but all in all not too bad compared to how it was. I was online around noon and did my dailies with no lag are hangups. Also with the prizes back there is increased traffic.

 

If other sites are loading normally and just Neo is lagging, then it's definitely not your connection.

That's great, hopefully it will be clear skies from here on! It almost seemed like the lag would never go away. Every time they had the site running faster it would start lagging again the next day. It looks like it's much more stable now, I've only had a few lagging pages yesterday and today.

I really like that one of the prizes is a book! NC is taking forever though... :p

 

 

I fee like the 20,000 NP and a book are pretty significant prizes, but everything was awarded right when I opened the homepage today (as opposed to having to navigate to a specific prize page). What if I had left a side account logged in? Can people get in trouble for claiming this on a side?

They have no real way of only awarding to main accounts, it's automatically awarded to every account on the site. So, no they can't get in trouble as it's an auto thing. As with anything else, you can either donate/discard the items and then use the NP on that account in a way that you aren't gaining anything from using the np.

I wouldn't be surprised if the secondary lag wasn't created by the greater volume of traffic onsite as people heard stuff was getting fixed, lol. Plus that thing of how you often end up breaking other things during the process of fixing something else :ph34r: I agree that the lag gifts were well thought out though, the items are things that are of use, and the NP and NC amounts are enough to be a nice freebie without having any negative impact on things, I shall enjoy visiting the mall to see what to spend my 300 on :D

I got the prizes last night around 9 or 10 NST, but the NC hasn't shown up in my account yet. Is it usual for it to take 12 hours or more?

 

I won 150 from the Expellibox and then got 150 from the Charity Corner, so I should have 600 NC total but only 300 NC are showing up.

It took nearly a day for them to show up for me. :)

Surprisingly, Neopets runs really fast on my computer. I don't know why.

I got the gifts on my side account this is fine right? I am going to assume they have no way of just giving them to main accounts.

Yes, it's fine since there's no way avoid it.

 

If anyone needs some sort of an official "confirm" from them, they stated as such in the editorial.

I did not see that. Sorry for asking again I just noticed someone else asked as well.

300 is the lag NC gift :)

I know :) but with the gift and the nc I previously had (from charity corner and another event) I should have 600 nc, not 300...

Hopefully they won't take much longer to show up for you then :)
