Oh my gosh this forum still exists?

[Robin]

HI guys! If anyone still here remembers me I'll be absolutely astounded, but I'm Robin. I was a mod here back in....gosh, I wanna say 2005 or so? Stumbling back into Neo for the new Void Within plot and figured I'd check in here.

Side note I have no idea what my avatar and signature are and am VERY prepared to cringe.....

ETA: ....outdated set but not embarassing. I can live with that

Welcome back, Robin! You're the first of (hopefully several) members coming back for the plot.

There are only a few of us rattling around in here, but Blue keeps everything running, and Pickles has already set up a new board for the plot with all the info we need. I mostly just take advantage of all their hard work.

Well... Hello Robin! Welcome back Very glad to see you! Yep, we're still here

Please do join us in the Plot thread(s). Pickles has been on top of this one from the beginning, and has great insights as to what is going on.

Siniri is too modest, her contributions are also super helpful!

Talking about your set, the link in your signature actually still works! The main site is currently a mess... mostly because I am not great at wordpress and have not bothered to work on it much... But,I do know that the audio from the old PPT Podcasts still exist... somewhere.

ETA: I almost forgot... We hand out treats in this thread!

OH, it wasn't the PPT podcast, I was waaaay before that! The link is to an old audio drama group I did voice acting with at the time, and the "PPT offical voice actor" thing was me being a teenage brat lol. Don't think the site has been active for a while, but the site's still there as an archive.

I'll definitely be hanging out in the plot thread--I mainly came here looking for a place to discuss it that was less brutal than the neoboards or reddit and less chaotic than discord, so an old-school forum is perfect!

[Blue]

We are indeed the old school forum

Glad you're back. See you in the forums!

[Pickles]

Welcome back!! The few of us left are still puttering around here regularly. Blue does an excellent job keeping things up and running.

I have attempted to follow things on Discord/Reddit/the neoboards, but you're 100% on with how they go. Discord moves so fast (and in so many different threads, despite there being a plot thread) that it's hard to follow properly. I mean, I think I saw the bit about prize points changing first in the battledome thread, because they were talking about the weapons there. Hopefully we'll have some more people who want a more sedate pace of discussion come back!

If you have any questions about things that have (or haven't) changed on the site in the last who knows how long, feel free to ask away!

Robin, if you're wondering why inflation is so crazy, there are a few new dailies that really rack up the NP. The most significant are Trudy's Surprise (a daily wheel that rewards you for consistency, earning you ~150-160k every 25 days, no negative prizes) and daily quests (which gives sometimes rare items every week, plus ~25-40k in NP/day, and there are also a few one -time quests). There's a good thread on daily quests here.

There have been events where TNT tried to reduce the server size by having everyone clear what was in their SDB, but instead turned us into collectors of junk rare items, but last time, they gave precedence to items R102-R179(?), so we've all been collecting those.
