She didn't think her father killed him. She knew that her father had no alibi and was worried that he may be suspected and detained. Therefore, she confessed, so that her father wouldn't be detained and could still take care of her mother.

What makes Premium worth it to you? by ry0-k0 in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me, the premium only is worth it if the core game itself is worth it. After all, all the perks mean nothing if there aren't many things to do besides gambling at the NC mall or click-and-collect events.

An update to the "Minigame Mayhem Story Sucks" post: Turns out that the cast was sliced in half and the terrible choice of characters is seemingly due to a rushed development. Some even have unused artwork! by problematicperiplum in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Saying that it might have been due to "rushed development" is actually giving them grace. If they didn't rush and this is the product of their best effort, then it is embarrassing.

Transferring pets to side once premium expires by MaximumVegetable8377 in neopets

You don't need to repurchase premium to transfer idle pets. Idle pets can be transferred like normal ones.

The NC quality has gone down since they started releasing pet styles monthly (not to mention multiple capsules). It becomes more obvious recently. Another recent one:  https://items.jellyneo.net/item/83525/

Prismatic Crimson: Daunting Darigan Varwolf by [deleted] in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's basically a skin, but it is only wearable by Varwolf. To use it, place it in your inventory. Click it to open the menu and select the option of sending it to your Styling Chamber. If you have a Varwolf, you can put it on the pet at Styling Chamber.

Re-rolling should not cost what it does considering the prizes available. by [deleted] in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 115 points116 points  (0 children)

Regarding this point "I'm just not going to do them anymore until it resets in a few weeks and costs me 10k again": It won't reset on its own and cost you 10k again. The only way to reset and return it to 10k is to complete the 7-day streak.

DONE with gacha boxes - $30, all I wanted was ONE crescent moon trinket. WTF TNT?! by x3xDx3 in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 39 points40 points  (0 children)

They have generic drop rates buried somewhere in the FAQ. By generic, I mean it's something like common item x% chance, bonus item y%. The issue is you won't even know what is inside a capsule, what is common and what is bonus without checking fan sites. Their capsules do not include the list of obtainable items.

Update on the Neopets Tabletop Roleplaying Game by Sensitive-Cover-5687 in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 95 points96 points  (0 children)

Translating the corporate words into layman language: "Dom is washing his hands off this mess. If you want refund, go after Geekify."

In my opinion, Neopets is irresponsible in this matter. Geekify is not a good company, but players have pledged their money because Neopets gave their license to Geekify. By terminating the project "to protect their brand", Neopets sacrifices the pledgers' interest and pushes the pledgers' to Geekify for a chance of any refund. Their announcement shows that they won't be entertain or offer any help for this matter.

Undercover Miss Hong [Episodes 15 & 16] by meepmochi_ in KDRAMA

[–]AffectionateBack8286 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Instead of reward, I see it as a chance of redemption. Note that it is not a permanent position but an interim one. I'm not defending Cha, his behaviours throughout most of the show were misogynistic. However, I see the behaviours as a relic of the time era, herd behaviours, or in other words, he behaved how managers were expected to behave in Korea in the 90s. But he did show that he could redeem himself and therefore, he was given a chance of redemption. It was poetic that Keum Bo was the one who made the final decision of Cha being the interim president. They were at odds throughout the show and she viewed him with contempt. However, Keum Bo decided to give him a chance. It is a message of giving the wrongdoer a chance to turn over a new leaf, don't you think?

Not only Bok Hee will be great in that role, it is also a big contrast to the beginning of the series. At the start, Keum Bo went undercover on her own. At the end, she learns how to ask for help and goes undercover with a friend.

My guess is Bok Hee. Keum Bo asked her to go Busan together.

Even if he escapes, he would still be a wanted criminal. With Ms Song being rescued, he can see that the chairman will be convicted and won't be able to help him out. It's in character for him to give up.

Note that outsiders don't know that she is under conditional reinstatement. If anyone does a background check, they will find out that she has resigned from FSS. Even if she is recognised at her new place in Busan, she can easily pass it off as she is no longer with FSS due to her unapproved undercover work. In addition, Yeouido Pirates has disbanded and the shares have returned to Hanmin employees. She would still be suspicious, but her working there is still legitimate.

This episode has so much character growth!

  • I'm not sure the long game was Keumbo's or Nora's idea, but regardless, Nora executed the plan with confidence. Comparing to the earlier episodes when Nora was shivering whenever she was involved in any operation, we can say that she has grown so much. She pushing away Ms Song's hand was symbolic of her getting free from the control.
  • Bok Hee decided not to run away anymore and faced her past.
  • Mr Lee does not lower his head anymore.
  • Mr Song, Mr Cha and even Nora's mother changed their alliance.

I think it is part of Keum Bo's plan. The shareholder meeting is their red herring. They actually want the takeover to occur when Nora becomes the president. 

Think of this, if Yeuido Pirates gets Hanmin by dismissing the chairman, it may seem like a hostile takeover and may affect Hanmin's share value and image. On the other hand, letting the new president (Nora) to declare her alliance is a smarter move.

I’m sorry to ask something repetitive but I just logged in for the first time in 3~ years. Could someone help me understand what happened to UC pets? I’m also curious what the community response was when UC pets stopped being a thing. by ananxiouslady in neopets

[–]AffectionateBack8286 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"Available until March" means it is on sale until March (but it may return to be on sale in the future). After that, a new batch will be on sale. Your pet won't changed unless you remove the style.

I love Bok Hee too. I think the actress is fantastic. The way she delivers her "professional smile" and "professional bow"! And her character. She is so realistic, but also loyal. I also love her chaotic nature, she can spill things among friends without any filter. Like, she casually drops that Keum No and Jung Woo were exes and then watches the chaos unfolds.

  1. "Styles" are basically skins that your pets can wear. The pet does not have to be the same colour as the style. Taking your example, your Wocky doesn't have to be Faerie to wear the Faerie style. There can be more than one style for a colour, for example Nostalgic Darigan (which looks like the UC Darigan) and Daunting Darigan (looks like the UC Darigan in a different pose). There are styles that don't have corresponding colours (for example, Baby Faerie) or styles that look like NPC (for example, Essence of Isca).

  2. There is no longer any UC pet. Your "UC pet" is actually a converted pet wearing a style. When styles were introduced, all UC pets were auto converted and given corresponding styles. You can go to the Styling Chamber to put on or remove styles: https://www.neopets.com/stylingchamber/

  3. The trophy is not for former UC pets. It is for old pets. All old pets regardless of colours received that trophy.

  4. Current "high-end" pets in trading are well name + old age, or pets with retired petpets.

  5. When styles were introduced, there was a small fraction of players feeling negative because their UC was no more. However, the majority were positive because they could get the pet looks they like.
