# Many Neopets love to explore, some even make it their life. If you happen to enjoy a good adventure you might look for a professor named Hugo Fairweather and ask him about his Journey to the Lost Isle.

While her paws were concentrating on that task, however, her eyes roamed from the laces of her skates to the ice's smooth surface. It was strange, but she could've sworn that there was something odd about the ice, though she couldn't quite place what it was.

Well, that's a nice bit of news for my birthday.

I hate how swanky the lutari looks in this comic, and how much personality all the pets have. I mean, they stole our our pets personalities. Give it back! They should all look as mindlessly happy as those THINGS we are stuck with now. It isn't fair that those pets get to have a personality and ours don't.

That's weird because that is also appear at the same day as my sister's birthday.

It appears they are trying to distract us from the site changes with a fancy-dancy plot.

[smudgeoffudge]

It isn't distracting me. It only makes our pets look even more like crap compared to those ones.

[varii]

Those are some ugly real life plushies.

And I think it is hilarious how the Tonu in the plot has a Xweetok for a daughter. I mean, I know it's pretend and all but whenever I see them do that (Bruno and Sophie are related?) I always have some major lols.

[Matrinka]

I always wondered that too... How are there different species in the same family. Was Mommy a Xweetok... or was daddy the milk man?

[Bart]

Probably that the one of the great grandparent is a Xweetok, though disturbing.

[Kuri]

Definitely trying to distract us. I like plots...but I also liked the way my pets were.

My thought exactly.

Do you really think that?

I mean, TNT can't just whip out a plot, willy-nilly. Obviously they have been working on it for awhile.

Whether we had site changes or not, we would still have a plot.

Most of us knew a plot would be coming soon and had been talking about it.

I know the changes aren't all what we wanted or expected, but to keep up the 'Neo is only doing this to annoy us/distract us/get rid of us/blah blah blah, is getting a little tiring.

I know it is your opinion and entitled to it, but everywhere I look on General Chat is Neo bashing, I can't get away from it. It is just getting a little annoying to see it everywhere.
/rant.

Sorry if I caused offence.

[Meer]

Smurf it! I'm not ready for a plot now! *makes shooing gestures at the news*

I'm still recovering from the shock of the changes. And my Draik is in training, I don't want plot inflation grrrrrrrrrrr

Sorry, just not in a mood to be excited about a plot yet.

Is the Lutari supposed to be Indiana Jones or something?

I'm impressed they managed to draw an Ogrin I actually like. However, I do think the staff is probably taking on too many things at once. Why they would start a new plot days after such a dramatic site change is beyond me. There are bound to be glitches and other kinks in this new system. Plus, people will want new clothing items and things we can actually put on our pets. The whole thing just seems like bad timing.

This plot could quite possibly end up scrapped like last Sloth plot and the guild master's dinner (or whatever that puzzle was called).

No offense, whatsoever. But, I think that TNT is much smarter than we give them credit for. My guess is that they thought up both at the same time. Released the stuff that would irritate the hell out of us first. And then attempted to make nice by giving us a plot. They've done it before. Last time they did this sort of thing was when they put the google crud on the site. The exact same day they announced the new game room. Sort of to divert attention away from the nasty google stuff. I don't mean to bash TNT, but then again, I don't put anything past them as far as selling themselves to their audience.
