Just curious.

I'm def. not doing anything on Neo today.

JC, I don't know if you saw the thread about today's glitches. Those glitches affected people with all sorts of different usernames. Not just f/s and g/t. Some people got extra nps in their nps on hand. Including one guy who got 5 million extra. Others got nps taken away from their nps at hand. And some were left with negative balances. And if you look at earlier posts on the chat boards for premium, bd, and help, you will see that hundreds of people posted about it. The PPT thread about it is here: http://www.pinkpt.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=31246

Nothing happened to me yet, but I'm afraid of doing anything right now, even though I don't start with any mentioned letter.

What I wanted to ask, though, is what exactly do you guys mean when you mention that F/S and G/T are shop wiz combinations? What do they stand for?

The shop wizard doesn't show all the shops at one time; instead, it shows them in sections.

Accounts whose names start with F and with S are shown on the same page of the shop wiz; so do G and T.

When you look up an item, you see the lowest 20 or 30 prices offered by people in one section. If you look it up again, you'll see the lowest prices offered by people in another section. This is why people recommend refreshing the shop wiz several times as you shop.

This is also why Premium's Super Shop Wiz is so wonderful - it shows you the prices for ALL usernames at the same time.

You can see how none of the people on the first try (H/U) had items cheap enough to be in the top 10 of the SSW... but they were the cheapest within their own section. THAT is why you should always refresh when checking prices!!!
