Lutari Island
Mon Mar 26, 2007 10:52 pm
What ever happened? Lutari day is steadily approaching, and no colors have been released for it. What do you think is going on?

I honestly think that there will be little to no furthur developements to Lutari Island, besides expanding cell phone types for compatibility.

Who knows. It'll probably cost us an arm and a leg whatever it is

I gotta agree... as much as I adore my Lutari... I think they're a forgotten pet. Why bother painting them (or letting them be paintable) when such a small amount of people can actually have one. (Not bragging -- I got mine as a "gift.") If we *do* get a painted version... I'm assuming we'll get Island and maybe another color at best.
I personally want a pirate Lutari.

I can't believe it's been an entire year with no new Lutari colors. Not even Island was released.
I guess my Vo is fine as a green Lutari (I was lucky to adopt him at all), but I'd love to paint him something a bit more... "flashy." Even ghost would be a nice alternative to basic green.

Yeah there are a few people out there that have lutari paint brushes. They aren't even like retired paint brushes that used to do something. These brushes never did anything and probably never will do anything. They should just turn them into plushies or into another item if they aren't ever going to make them do a darned thing.
I always imagined they'd make pets look like they rolled in paint and feathers .

Honestly, I guess I'm a little grateful they've never come out with the Island Lutari. I agree, they need some colours for the poor neglected pet...but I hope they disgard the Island Lutari idea due to my Island obsession. Okay, so that sounds self centered...
But there's too many Island pets and not enough account space. Still, I hope for the sake of Lutari owners everywhere that colours are released for it. I mean, it's bad enough that people who zap a Lutari can't pound it to someone who really wants it (understandable, but why even make it a possible lab zap if you don't want anyone but paying subscribers to have it?), it just adds to it that they can't keep labbing it in hopes of a nice colour change for themselves.

Ya know what gets me? Think about the paint brush name. Lutari Paint Brush. That means a you'd have a Lutari Lutari. And that's just odd.

Unless it's the only paintbrush that will only be able to paint a Lutari, no matter the color? That doesn't make any sense, but neither does a paint brush being named after a pet.

Varii brings up a great point. Since when has the management been so out of touch with the people that basically create all the money for them?
Since when have they been so ir-responsive and 'confused' about their own demographics? The cell phone thing was a BAD financial move. I don't care that most people HAVE cell phones. They all use or don't like to use them for almost the same reasons, ironically. Totally unreliable to offer as a regular service. Do they think we're so 'addicted' that not only will we play when at home or work computers, we just can't get enough and so want to use some tiny screen on our cell phone when we are not 'busy' with the life things we are presumably supposed to be doing?
How much money can 'ad' revenue really bring in? Seems like sponsor games are the best bet. I even still wonder why companies that make Froot Loops and such could NEED to advertise. I mean you already make a tasty albeit unhealthy product that IF I want, I will buy. No advert needed.
I hate to finally criticise 'Nick Jr lady' (since she is new and I don't know her) but I hardly find the new things happening around Neopia to be to anyone's advantage, even Neopets! Page hits go down when people are unhappy with their game playing experience. Perhaps this is an intermittent "rant about neo" day for me, but I don't think the one thing I use my time to de-stress should eventually turn into another worry for me. TNT was better without so much "management" in my opinion, even though I have only been around for the last 2 years on the site.
From reading older users' experiences, I find that most of the changes resulted in benefit to the user, and hence to the company. We all complain about every new thing (that is only natural, so I should hope)
but then if it ends up helping us, we become okay with the change.
The Lutari Lutari has me stumped. I have been waiting on Lutari Island to open up to all of us ever since .. well, ever since Shenkuu made it first! (And far prior to that with Neopets' magazine article references and such.)
I came across an old, non-updated page, that reiterates that there will never be any pop-ups on neo (despite the annoying and obvious Circuit City and others that used to pop up on me all the time until I took responsibility and control of my gaming experience and eliminated them.)
As I play throughout the day, my AVERAGE for BLOCKED pop ups from NEOPETS ONLY is approximately 100. Yes, 100 for 'average daily occasional playing' and more if I play more. ONE HUNDRED, folks.
If we didn't all have adblock or HOSTS files or find alternative browsers that suit our Neopets-needs, they would perhaps be all be bankrupt now.
I don't know what the HECK they are working on (actually I have a clue, since a programmer semi-recently asked me if an addition to the Battledome of all things would be a good idea -- namely instead of a 'glitch' whenever one was knocked out of a fight, to be able to reselect the challenger again OR withdraw, instead of an automatic forced 'go to the status page' scenario) but these are not the priorities of the users.
Don't flame me for 'hating' the Battledome (Battledomers heh) but .. can't you just go somewhere else to click repeatedly to read "You hit so and so for so many points"? I mean, is it REALLY all that frustrating? If so, you may need anger management, not a Battledome. Sorry to suggest.
If Neopets wants extra income, they should make it SEPARATE from the main free site. This is the best scenario for all of us and for making profit.
I would like to see paid Premium on different servers entirely, and if they want to make Lutari Island THAT EXCLUSIVE, then stop teasing us!
(And sorry this is, well not so much off topic, but not directly on.)

They really don't seem to be making it much of a priority... they still haven't even released cellphone compatibility for more than those two phones.

Oh exactly. If they want it to get so big and potentially make money, put it on more than TWO brands at least. What about verizon? Thats what I have, and I cant even get it if I DID want it.
