Unreleased, Unreleased, Unreleased

Let's clear one thing up: paper mache is paper dipped in glue and layered to create a hardened paper shell. Origami is just folded paper.

They are definately more origami than mache, but the pink one doesn't seem to be either...just some cardboard or construction paper cut up and glued into shape.

Haha trick. Oldie Pack that's so cool

[Ledi]

This really does get unfair - Neopets keeps saying it'll give the older players something for sticking with them for so long, then everything new and cool ends up being released in the newbie packs. Could anyone dig out the editorials where the issue has been raised and answered/evaded?

[arogance1]

Both are not on ths shop wiz. No one is selling them..

Quite likely, they are selling on the Trading Post for about 800k or more, but will drop a bit as time goes on

You know, you are very correct. I think I've been playing for 48 Months, maybe a bit more or around that. Everyday I'm on doing little things, etc. But noooo, let's get the NEWBS stuffage

[Ledi]

Aha. The first time that I just found the "older players being rewarded" was the 15th of April this year (Issue 186, I think).

Is it possible for people who have been on neopets for over 5 months or something, could get something special, because I would have loved to get a starter paintbrush when I was new, I don't think that's fair.

Yes, rewarding people who keep playing is something we will be implementing shortly.

And I've been reading through the editorials while looking for these questions and wow, there are a lot of broken promises.

Edit: Issue 189

Some of the members in my guild have been discussing how little the older Neopians have compared to the newbies, since we've stuck with the site for quite a while. Is it possible that we might be getting a board or something similar?

Yes. We are working in this at the moment. As soon as we are done with the Maraqua war you should see a lot of nifty little thank yous for the people who have been with us a long time.

Silly Ledi! You should know by now that TNT doesn't run on the same time-frame as the rest of us! "Shortly" in TNT-speak could mean anywhere from a month or two to a year or more!

[Magica]

Sorry, I wasn't quite sure where to put this, and I wasn't sure if I'd get in trouble if I necro-posted the old DF topic or made a new one

I would've gotten this scanned and uploaded on Saturday, but I went to Grandma's for the weekend. This is scanned from the GameStop Holiday Game Guide. You are free to use this for you site(s), as long as you upload it to your own server. Anyone else think that the Heffaklump "neopets" font looks out of place from the box art?



larger scan of above

Sorry, lousy quality scan/save.

I didn't scan the description, but here's what it said:

Neopets: The Darkest Faerie
by S.C.E.A.
The Darkest Faerie has escaped from her watery prison and all of Neopia is in peril! Only the courage of two young heroes can stand against her awesome armies of evil minions.

Oh and if you were curious about what game was shown next to it, it was Gran Turismo 4 for $49.99.

[Troggy7]

Oldie packs would be hawt. My old account is 44 months and my main account just turned a year :3

[Trick]

There's a better pic of the game if you just look it up on Amazon, or here if you are lazy http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0009RG8DM.01._SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg

I hope it gets released internationally, if only because I hope it will bring more merchandise to the UK if it is.

I'm starting to believe neopets HQ is located in some sort of otherworldly dimension, a sort of fairytale storybook faerie kingdom if you will, that you hear about in which unwary travellers stumble into or are tricked into visiting by capricious spirits. They stay for an hour or so, perhaps have a cup of tea, take a tour of the castle, or just take a nap under that lovely tree, and eventually when they leave back to their own world, they find that 300 years have passed.

That is the land in which TNT inhabits.

Either that or they get abducted by aliens on a regular basis.

[Butterflyhornet]

Crap. I already have 5 accounts and none which I wish to delete. No paper petpet for me.

[RolandOfTheEld]

*is really annoyed about how the people with the old accounts get hosed*

I'm at 63 months. I started when all the newbie consisted of was 1 or two cheap toys, an apple and another cheap food. I suppose I'll make myself a spare account so I can get the special stuff. I need one anyways because if I lab something really good I'll want to keep it, but get a new lab pet.

Edit: I checked my spare account that I've had for a while, but never got the newbie pack. I got the white and pink petpets... just one of these days...

Nope, I just created a new account, and the petpets I got (orange and green) clearly said "No Trades" under their graphic, so for now, like the starter pbs, it seems they are not profitable.

Oh well. Now I have an extra, pointless account. I was hoping for the cute cream-colored one!

But on the bright side, these things are bound to be cheap now that any new account can get one.

[Kess]

Y'know as long as you guys are all making new accounts...

Heh, heh.

I wonder if their idea of a 'board for older accounts' is that one "charter members" board on the premium boards, which did appear shortly after the maraqua plot. Be nice to see one on the open forums, too.
