Besides, there will always be those who don't participate or stop midway, and then go around whining about how it's so unfair that the prices rock after it's all over. That will never change. Leaving it open for so long is nonsense.

I completely agree, it is nonsense.

And has the plot really been going on for 7 months? WOW! I didn't think it was that long, I knew it was about 3 months ago it "ended".

Crazy!

They left the plot open for so long so more people could participate. But I honestly don't think many people are acually still working on the altador plot by now, especially now it's not "advertised" on the news page.

But if the prizes are anything like they were in the last few plots, it will be worth the wait ^_^

It really isn't fair to let people work on it for so long, either, unless they do what they did with the LDP, and give more points for having completed it sooner.

Well, unless they award prizes for how fast you complete the plot, the prizes probably won't be very good. I mean, thousands of people were able to complete it. The sidebar is looking really cool though. OH well.

Is it possible that we aren't actually done with the plot? That there's a last step everyone's missing?

Edit: Wow! I thought i was just kidding, but then i went back to the council chamber, and if you click on the theif's jacket there's a knife he pulls out and a whole lot more to the plot and... and.. nevermind. I was lying.

From the Editorial Page: First and foremost, THANK YOU, TNT for all the effort you put into creating the plots. They're great! I love you guys! Now, if you don't mind, *please* clear something up for me. There is great debate over whether any prizes will be given for all the star hunting & mapping that was done in Altador prior to the Altador Cup. Even though King Altador promised we would be rewarded for our efforts, some say there are no plot prizes for the Altador Plot because it was a "mini-plot." They use the fact that Altador Cup prizes have already been awarded as evidence to support their theory (since the AC came after the Altador Plot). Others think the prizes are coming, and patience is a virtue. Would you please settle the debate once and for all? You WILL?!? I *knew* it! You ROCK! –navynora
We love you, too! And patience is a virtue. There's no doubt about that.

This particular puzzle was a mini-plot, yes, and it was made to run long so that lots and lots of people could participate. Trust us; many people are still stuck at certain points judging from the rest of the editorial questions.

Don't worry. King Altador will not go back on his word. You WILL be mini-rewarded for your mini-efforts on the mini-plot. (In fact, one of the prizes has already been waiting on the server... but you didn't hear that from us.)

Not to be a bummer but that was in the editorial about 3 weeks or maybe even longer. So it's nothing new, and the prize is the sidebar which we found a while ago as well.

It is simply a confirmation. I know it's old.

unr4veled · #131 Post by **unr4veled** » Fri Sep 15, 2006 2:46 am

Yep. Just figured that out. Darn.
oh well.
can't be much longer now.

Crazy but true. My new account is almost 5 months old, and that was just after the time when the Theif was released. So 7 months seems accurate.

Eh... 7 months?! What are TNT doing? I expect we'll get our prizes in 2015. :roll:

Council Chamber

King Altador beckons you to step closer.

Altador beams at you as you approach. "So! We finally have a reward for your valiant efforts to restore the history of this great land. I must apologize for the delay, but it has taken us some time to regain our bearings. Suddenly remembering the entirety of one's history is quite taxing."

"Nevertheless, we do have your rewards. Our treasury is quite full, and so we have decided to award you a tidy sum of Neopoints." He waves at Gordos, the Collector, who steps over to you, carrying a bulging bag.

Gordos glares at you. "I hate parting with such a large sum of money, but what Altador wants..." he grumbles. "Here you go."

The bag contains 5,000 Neopoints!

"Next," Altador says, "we've awarded you this trophy."

Royal Astronomer

"And finally, we have a few items for you..."

Club President Super Plushie

They could have made separate ones, but this was cheaper.

The Way Windmills Work

Windmills do, in fact, work that way.

Hall of Heroes Play Set

With Limited Edition Miniature Gold-Plated Janitor!

Set of Four Commemorative Punch Club Pie Plates

Hang them on your wall... just dont talk about them.

Altador smiles. "I hope that suffices. I regret that we couldn't provide more choice, but as I said, things are still a bit chaotic around here. And after all, this wasn't on the scale of what happened to the Lost Desert, or what will soon be happening in--" He stops. "Ahem. Nevermind."

"Well!" he continues. "You will always be welcome in Altador, and we will be eternally grateful for your services to us. Farewell for now."
