I was hoping for a decent weapon, or something less appealing that I could trade for a Royal PB, but I'm not sure that's going to happen, at least for me (even though I completed the entire plot).

Maybe it's just me but I find that when a lot of people did well, the prizes turn out to be a lot more useless than when only a small number of people did well (on the plot, that is). Maybe it's just me and the fact that the prizes seem so much better because I don't have them (*cough cough* Ring of the Lost *cough cough*) or maybe TNT just hates giving out USEFUL, rare prizes if everyone scored well. =/

This was posted on the boards as a possible prize:

EDIT:

It may not be anything. It is the same as the Tale of Woe Chatboard Icon but with a different url:

I was kind of hoping there'd be some sort of animation involved in the avatar.

Maybe it's a placeholder for the real thing?

I believe that is an old, unreleased avatar.

This petpage has alot of them:

It even has the Sidney avatar, that keeps popping up on the boards as a 'possible' ToW avatar.

I seem to remember them having a different avatar for Sophie(not the one they wound up releasing, but one that looked more like an AIM icon) before they released the active Sophie avvie. Maybe they did several Sophie avatars, and that's another one that didn't get picked?

Every monday I hope it will be the following friday. Every friday I hope it will be the following monday. (For some reason, those two days of the week seem like the best time.)

They're away this Monday, but maybe sometime next week? I guess there's nothing to do but wait.

Wow, For some reason with the LDP I had quite alot of patience waiting for the prizes, for some reason. I'm getting all giddy, and I can't wait. Yet again as many have said, many have participated. So I'm predicting prizes wont be so "amazing" but still. An Avatar and Trophy would be nice.
Patience.

I really hope we'll get the prizes this week. I think they had enough time to verify the scores already

tsk, tsk, tsk... Neopets really needs to work on prize administration.

When I left for Europe six weeks ago, I felt sure that the prizes would have been released while I was away. I can't believe I got back and they're still not here!

For me, it's Friday as well. Every week, I log on to Neopets on Friday in hopes of plot prizes...and I've been let down each time. =[
