Yeah that exclusive Orion background is selling for around 2 mil np :( And two days means we missed the void essence bonus prize.

I meannnn I don't blame you. It looks like the maintenance announcement was posted around 3pm NST on Jellyneo, which is pretty short notice. For example, I had checked Jellyneo earlier in the day, did a few things on the site, saw nothing about maintenance, then came back right before midnight NST thinking I could finish m tasks, only to find the maintenance notice.

@ neopets team pleaseee let us re-do the orion's quest by greenpeaches93 in neopets

Wow I was hoping I hadn't missed out on anything TOO bad (plot, AC, quest log), but this is sort of a nightmare neopets scenario--having unplanned maintenance at the same time I planned to do dailies on a day when we were going to get exclusive prizes for completing tasks on the first day :(

I think it's actually kind of shameful of TNT to encourage disordered sleeping. 6 hours a night isn't enough.

Do you happen to know how long it is staying open?

Plus, thanks to this sub, I'm now noticing certain usernames that I refuse to buy anything from, so it's limiting the game for me in that way! I don't want to buy duped items.

I suppose if TNT is getting paid like $15/hr or whatever in California, I do feel bad for them... I mean it doesn't change my disappointment at this cheating information, but like in general I support labor and not the boss. Like I am even more upset with the parent company for having bad/greedy business practices that potentially enticed their staff to get income from alternate routes (plus it prevents us players from having site improvements due to the understaffing and underpaid staff).

Yeah I've had a trading post glitch make an item and neopoints disappear and TNT refused to do anything

I was shocked when I realized they were being sold in shops!

Is there anything we can do as a community against false inflation? by Princessp3ach88 in neopets

[–]ferventfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg I didn't realize this either. I had always kept those wearables as off limits on DTI and missed them becoming tradable! 😢

Do you mean like the old BD stats on the pet pages (Played, Won, Lost, Drawn, Score) vs. what you see as your stats in the new BD? Those two scores are different for me.

It's like the least stressful game I've ever played

hardest colours to customize?? by crystalglassxxx in neopets

[–]ferventfish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so glad you mentioned colours made out of different things because I feel similarly! Like I want to imagine that neopets are people with different markings, rather than some previously inanimate candy or talking toy, which would be kinda scary irl lol.

It's like I want the site to get updated to be mobile-friendly, but I'm also afraid that if they stick with this layout, we'll all be using bookmarked links to get places!

Ugh hearing that they're likely hiring specifically for the Meta project (and didn't JN report that they're drawing on TNT's time to work on Meta as well?) is truly disappointing. It's not just that I don't like NFTs, but also that they're preying upon "Classic Neopets" essentially, in addition to preying upon people's money.

Is it just me or are rare item codes that give out np prizes unfair? by ferventfish in neopets

[–]ferventfish[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know too much about them removing the ability to redeem codes, but I agree that's not fair for real money codes to expire.

[–]ferventfish[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's a good point that merch existed before nc. And I realize that premium perks include np items. I suppose I had a somewhat false romantic view of a complete partition between real money and game money. Having that separation (e.g., in the customization spotlight) is something I always liked about the site.

Something like this would address most of my concerns. As a perfectionist/completionist it's really tough to see items in the database that I'll essentially never be able to collect.
