I feel sorry for anyone who legitimately bought a bottled faerie minutes before this glitch, put it up for sale, and has now watched the price of drop 1000 nps.

Shame on all of you who took advantage of the unlimited freebies. Whether it was a glitch or not, it was still against the rules. And taking advantage of the system is cheating.


Do you consider buying a bunch of cheap codestones cheating? Because I was buying a bunch of codestones from users shops so I can stock up for training.

I don't save my codestones :P I train my pet with them.

my pet

My pet is strong enough I think. Yours could waste mine no doubt but it is enough to get me level three in defenders and thats good enough.

...I did the scratchcard and tombola glitch on an old account but discarded everything.... So should I feel bad? Because I in no way profited...


I feel guilty but I don't think I really should... :cry:

The database they use to store petpet's mustive crashed and they had to use a backup. WHY? Because I had an Anubis named PADfoot, who I painted into a ROBOT colour, then I named him MECHfoot.
I'm 60k behind now, becuase I only have Padfoot the Anubis.

What should I do about it, who should I ask to get me the right Petpet?

Well, my petpets haven't changed. About 3 days ago I took a plathydon off of my pet and put an snowman on him. Snowman is still on him.

There was one time I had all my secret avatars disappear, but I was USING a secret avatar though it wasn't on thelist, looked wierd :P But I got them back now...or have I? :x

Sat Jul 24, 2004 8:36 pm

strange. All my avs are back, and my petpets are the same.... I wonder if they rolled back some people, but not all?

Sat Jul 24, 2004 8:40 pm

Thats why I don't keep petpets.

Sat Jul 24, 2004 8:53 pm

Perhaps, I should have clarified myself. If you went to the freebies more than once because you knew of the glitch, you have cheated and you know that you have cheated.

However, I don't think anyone thinks that you are cheating if you are taking advantage of the cheaper prices as a result of this. Just as no one cheated when the restocks appeared every minute instead of every eight. You are buying things at the market rate, which has dropped, and, honestly, you don't know if the person selling them cheap cheated or not. So, you shouldn't be penalized for that.

In addition, some people are buying up the excess--particularly faeries--just so the market value doesn't plummet even more. Imagine having 50 fire faeries in your shop for 4999 and then the price drops 1000 nps--of course, you are going to buy up the cheap ones, just so you don't have to drop the price of your 50 faeries to 3999.
