Funny. The only problem is that I am not an OVERWHELMING majority of people that are thinking this. I am just a minority. If you think that I have the same influence as a 99% majority, I thank you! :battar: :oops:


I now, it's not exactly the same... still, I think there's something to be said for one person saying he sees something, then the other person agreeing, the other one too, and so forth. Then again, the first reaction you got (from DiscordantNote) was a negative one, so I'm probably just reading into it too much. I mean, the colours seem crisper to me as well.


If you were going to call it anything, I would call it Milgram, but that's assuming that I am an authority, which is up for debate.

Regardless, I think that you are reading far too much into it.

Indeed. Maybe if the community were far, far bigger... But I am reading too much in it.

I'm not going to say any of this to flame anyone...if that's how it turns out sounding.
I've taken psychology courses, and I'm not saying I see something just because other people have mentioned it. TNT did something to Sakhmet City, whether they made the image crisper or moved citizens, or whatever. If some others out there can't see it, then who cares? There was a reason that the city was inaccessible at that point. Over and out.

Possibly the server it's on was having errors, or the files were somehow not loading correctly or any number of things but there's no obvious signs it was altered except to a minority of members and if you want to think it's changed, then it's changed, even if it really wasn't. I doubt it was since they had just a few months ago, redone the entire Lost Desert so there shouldn't be any alterations. There is no point in debating it though. It's back up for good hopefully so it shouldn't matter.

No reason to get so defensive, I think we can all take it like the -mostly- mature people that we are here (*is reminded of the scammer yesterday? the day before yesterday?). I only had one year of Psychology too, then decided it wasn't what I wanted. It's just that Social Psychology was my favourite subject, and when I read this entire topic, I suddenly had a conformity brainwave. So, no, I definitely don't think you're flaming, and glad to have an informed opinion. :)

Funny how this discussion has turned around. :lol:

No need to get all hot and bothered. We're just having a scholarly discussion.

Aiya, there was a reason why I noted that I wasn't trying to flame anyone. Occasionally what I say sounds like I'm trying to debate or I'm bothered or whatnot, while in all honestly I was just trying to -end- the debate like you guys. Obviously I didn't do that good of a job. I know they just re-did the Sakhmet City, but I truly see a difference. If there's only a minority that can see the difference, then fine. I was simply putting in my opinion, which I don't do much around here. So I'll shut up now.

I just noticed the camels in Sakhmet. I guess they were always there though. I wonder what camels are doing in neopia though. I wonder what pet they could say that is?
