ZOMG YOU CAN WIN NEOCASH FROM THE GAME, TNT IS A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES!!!1!SHIFT!1





.....but I love them for it anyways! <3 (aside from the fact that it's going to be impossible to land on that space...)

This is interesting. I'm not really affected either way by the fact that it's possible to win neocash through the game, because it's probably pretty rare, and I don't know how much is given out. If you really want mall items, you'll probably have to buy neocash to get a sizable amount. But, I suppose if you just like one or two items, then this could be a nice way to get them, instead of shelling out the full five dollars.

Oh, they're fiendishly clever. This makes it harder to say customization and Neocash are just a blatant attempt to draw money out of the pockets of ten-year-olds.
Also, I like the idea. I'm sure you only get a paltry sum like $1 worth of Neocash every time you hit the jackpot, but I still like it. Between that and the Halloween Poogle, I'm starting to get some respect back for TNT.

Hmm. That's interesting. The NeoCash must be given out sparingly.

Someone on the Neoboards claimed to have won 150 neocash, if its true, they're giving away pretty good amount.... though it'll probably be pretty hard to win.

I can't complain about free.

Was I the only one that started to read

* New Feature - Why send *a* Neopet when you can Send *Your* Neopet? (See what we did there?)


and got really excited that we would be able to transfer pets again? Ugh. I miss the pound. :(

Nope. I totally read that the same way. It wasn't until I went to the page and read carefully that I realized what was going on.
The daily is cool, though...I got a Honey Filled Olive off of it!

The only downside I see to the daily is this:
Neocash is a representative for real money. The game allows you to win Neocash. So in a sense, this is a game where you are gambling for real money.

I could be looking at this completely wrong and would be happy to be wrong. This is just a crazy thought I have. This isn't a complaint, and I cannot complain if it is free. Free is good.

I don't think that is exactly correct. While neocash does cost real money, I don't believe (and I haven't used the stuff so I'm not totally sure) it can be exchanged back for money. So..it'd be like I went to the store and bought a pack of stickers and gave them out to kids as prizes. the kids can have the stickers, but they can't take them back to the store. So I don't think it really falls under gambling for real money.

I thought, for one moment, that they were actually going to make personal pet transfers possible. Then my brain kicked back in.

Do clothes still retire after some time? I thought I read it a while back, that they were only valid for 90 days or so? Or was that just the test phase?

Just checked, and it looks like they still expire after 180 days.

This reminds me of PLINKO! I love it. I have only won a cookie so far. But hey, it is free so who can complain.

The only problem I foresee is if they only give you a few neocash for this.

They'll give you just enough to get you interested and then you'll just have to buy a few more to get the item you want.

Tricky little stinkers, TNT.
