Well, they could have just collected account names from the people lobbying for the code to come back.

just 2 days after they make restock happen every minute, players are already saying that pharmacy is not longer that profitable with many medicine already dropping in price. soon, the only clear profitable stuff left are maybe the unbuyables and the avatar items

sad but true

Well, I logged in and tried to restock, really I tried! Ended up hanging out at the igloo and got a whole 3 items! a book, a tyrannian food (why? who knows!) and a red yarn ball 
Must be a combination of the world being at the Igloo and my slow dial up. I've missed everything even half way decent! And what is up with the Igloo selling stuff like wormy apples and smooshed tomatoes for like 70 np?!
I did try in the book shop, but it took almost 30 seconds for the code to show up. Obviously the books I was trying for were gone by then.
I still don't think this is or could be permanent - the fast shop stocking. Maybe something in the timing program got messed up, maybe TNT is still testing something out. We should know by Monday don't you think?
Oh, as a side note...people who took advantage of the glitches earlier - the tombola/scratchcard, etc. glitches? The freezings for abusing a glitch have started. I really hope no one here is affected.

I just hope they don't freeze for this shop thing. Then we're all in trouble. :-/
Edit: If you think the Garage Sale is hard right now, you should have tried it four hours ago. It was refresh like mad, see an box, click and hit enter real fast and hope you get something good.

Clone, for me the Igloo is like that now, I can't even imagine being able to get into the Igloo earlier if it was that crazy!
How could TNT possibly freeze people for honestly restocking? That would be going way too far and the site would be almost empty. I mean, people who have only been on the site for a week are trying to restock, because they feel like they might have a chance to get something. Just the thought that I could be frozen for buying 3 things at the Igloo makes me feel very ill...
If someone's using an ab then certainly, they deserve to be frozen. Same for people who went on a tear and visited tombola 10 times in a row, or bought 20 scratchcards one after the other -- something like that IS taking advantage of a glitch. The shops restocking so quickly I just don't see as a "glitch".

I just experienced RS a minute 
Sun Jul 25, 2004 10:29 am
it's over! no more restock every minute!
no more restock every minute!
Sun Jul 25, 2004 10:38 am
It stopped yesterday around this time too. I can't say I'd complain too much if it only restocked every minute during the night, when I'm awake because of my work schedule. Of course, I'm really groggy having just gotten out of work, so I make no guarantees about how much sense I can make. Mmmmm sleep now, no work tonight, Yay!
Sun Jul 25, 2004 10:43 am
Yes, it has stopped! Yippeee. Please dun start the crazy restock again.

i am glad it was over....a nightmare for some of us restockers...what with deflation and overcrowding. i was on the point of bursting after narrowly missing a moltenore and was going to log off...

There was a glitch involving the tombola and scratchcards? When? How? Why wasn't I awake?
Sun Jul 25, 2004 10:47 am
Well, glad things are somewhat back to normal... now all they need to do is put the new security code back and I'll be one happy monkey.

I kinda liked the pictures instead of the codes, they really gave me a chance against those who had faster connections and believe me, everyones ot a faster connection than me

On one hand, the pics were good because they tended to be faster than the Kauvara code.
On the other hand, it would sometime ask you to find a pet that was hard to locate on the pic, such as a green blumaroo standing right in front of green shrubbery. They need to make ALL the pets you're supposed to find stand out, if they ever decide to go back to the pics.
I'd estimate I lost out on 2 furniture items and about 3 or 4 Neocola Tokens because of that, and I only managed to get hold of 3 Neocola Tokens while the pics were being used. (Didn't get any at all after the switch back to the code)
