You know, now that I think about it, the last time I remember having a random event was on Neopets Birthday. I haven't had any REs since then. :o Odd, as everyone else is saying, it's probably just an effect from the down time. Probably in the next week or so things will go back to normal. At least I hope so.

I haven't noticed this, but it might explain my not being able to get any new avatars in the last few days. The only easy av I got was the Cliffhanger one.

Add me to the list of people who haven't gotten any REs since the birthday (I've gotten a couple winter REs at the advent calendar, but nothing anywhere else).

*chuckles*
I hadn't even noticed there was a lack of REs going around. Seriously, I think Neo's birthday was the only time I've gotten a RE in the last month - and despite playing all day over their birthday, I still only got 1.

So, if their experiencing problems that are causing a lack of REs, then I guess it's gonna be a while again before I get another one. HeHe.

Count me in. I haven't gotten one since the birthday celebration either. And, that Monday and the several days before it, I must have gotten at least 100--no joke. However, some weren't so nice (King Skarrl's marrow tax) and some were passing Bruce's saying hi.

However, I got one of them (the earthquake) while I was doing quickstock and I lost the three items I was putting into my SDB. Perhaps the glitches could be the reason why all RE's seem to have disappeared right now. Maybe they caused too many lost-item glitches and, in order to fix the problem, they had to temporarily take all of them off the site.

They were fun, though--despite my losses. Because you never knew what you were going to get.

I also have seen 0 RE's now, past my faerie quest that was glitched.
I seriously think we broke something cause of the b-day sidebar. =/ I usually get at least 1 RE daily, usually useless, but a RE nonetheless.

Winter RE's seem normal though.

i never get random events so i didn't notice... seriously i get a random event like once a month :(

I didn't get any random events either, I wonder what happened to them. o_O

mmm yeah i havent gotten any either

Anyone start getting them again? With the exception of Winter events, I haven't gotten anything since the birthday celebration. This makes NQ a lot less meaningful to play since the REs make it profitable a lot of the time. Also, does anyone know if the Invasion of Meridell and Cellblock avatars are being affected by this since those two are triggered by a type of random event?

Sign me up under the "No RE's Since Neo's B-Day" column.

With the exception of getting a winter RE (Great Ice Chest Treasure of 78 np) :roll: I haven't gotten a thing. Not even the useless ones, like:

"A chia shows up and pesters you to provide free advertising to the site by adding a NeoBadge to your page!"

"A Spider crawls all over this page, JUST to annoy you into thinking for a second you got a real RE."

"As if asking you for an unreleased item on quest #35 wasn't bad enough, Illusen pops up and says "I was thinking about giving you a billion neopoints, but I changed my mind."

"A shoyru whizzes by, and he seems to be flying towards Mystery Island. As if you relly give a smurf."

"An Earthquake! Quick, hide under your desk, because your browser is about to crash!"



Nada. Zip. Zero....Nuddin. Been RE-less like this since the downtime.
