Also considering those millions of people aree almost guranteed to keep checking until prizes are released than thats a lot of hits on their site and that's good for business.

I believe when someone posts a "a new sidebar theme(ToW) has been found on the neopets server" topic at the front page of PPT,then I suppose the plot prizes will be released within a week or so.Other than that,we can just continue waiting...

Agreed. 105 days waiting, and we got CRAP prizes that EVERYONE got -.-
I'm still bitter over that XD
Sun Feb 04, 2007 4:54 am
wow really itys been 74 days? so this plot apparently takes second xD
Sun Feb 04, 2007 6:38 am
I understand that they have millions of users who finished the plot, but they alreay have our stat pages, so why can't they just release the prizes? Or atleast give us SOME kind of update on how they're doing on calculating everyones scores again. But honestly, TNT just doesn't care anymore. No need to remind myself why I quit neopets.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't understand what takes them so long. 'Tallying up points' shouldn't take 74 days, no matter what..so I wonder if they finish up and just sit on it...or if they put it off til the editorial inbox is so full of 'When are we getting our prizes?' that they can't take it anymore..
It would be interesting to compare when neopets was bought out and when the prize distribution slowed down. :/

Indeed. I was certainly ticked. I was even more ticked when I found out the plot was never going to close.
The prizes had better be good for this wait...

Me too. There was no point system what so ever, so TNT could have easily given out the prizes in a week or two. Yet they kept us waiting for MONTHS and then gave us those prizes. (still bitter too
)
I doubt the prizes will be as good as the LDP. I think more people finished the ToW so the items will be less valuable. I do hope for some nice neohome furniture and maybe a decent battledome weapon.
I hope TNT releases the prizes soon. Every morning I go online to check the news for plot prizes and every time I feel slightly dissapointed that they haven't been released yet. Anyone else have that too?
