But the easier ones have increased, at least some. Whack-A-Kass, Ultimate Bullseye, some sponsor ones. But hopefully it will all balance out in the end.

I thought they were changing the NP ratios of certain games to keep inflation in check. At least, it seems that way since many of people's "favorite" easy np-earning games now have decreased ratios.

yeah I used to make 1k in ice cream machine and now I only make like 600. sad times.

Man, all you people who have a lot of your favorite games increased are just making me feel worse. :(

So many of my games went down, I will be making a lot less NPs a day from now on. Ice Cream Machine, Itchy Invasion, Pterattack, Snowmuncher, and Jolly Jugglers are completely ruined for me now.

I'm especially bummed out about Snowmuncher, because it is my absolute favorite game, I love playing it. But I cannot get much above 5000 points in it, which used to be enough for 1K.

It seems that most of the games I play that went up are ones that didn't matter anyway, because it was already easy as pie for me to get 3K a day. I.e. Evil Fuzzles, Kiko Racing, and Sophie's Stew.

Snowmuncher has become easier.. :roll: You now only need 2778 points for 1000NP
I think the same is true for some of the other games you mentioned, maybe you should recalculate the ratio's?

What the? ...oh. Now don't I feel dumb. :oops: I figured the ratio for Snowmuncher completely wrong. Heh. Your right, it's much easier now. Well that makes me happy.

But I think now it's actually impossible to get 1K from Itchy Invasion. If I've figured it right, at a ratio of 0.39 you'd need a score of 2564 to get 1K and the current high score is 1418. That's weird.

But all is not lost, I just have to shuffle around my favorites some. Frustrating, but at least I still can get 3K a day from my precious Snowmuncher. XD

This website has a list of the old ratios for a lot of them. Although a lot are still missing.

Word Poker http://neopets.com/games/play.phtml?game_id=229 ratio has gone way up, to 2.46

I used to get around 300 nps, now I get 1000.

I've been away and didn't realize my favs have gone up- Work Poker, Kujong. Does anyone remember why the ratios were changed for specific games? - to make the scoring more fair across the games?

Snowmuncher has changed again, now you have to get around 3500 or something... I really hope they don't have a system that adjusts itself to what players do (it seems to be that way for the ranking levels 'beginner', 'grand master' etc). It's gonna be a pain to recalculate it each time :x

Divide 1000 by the ratio number. Then move the decimal over 2 places. I think that works.
EDIT: Make that 4 places.


Shouldn't it simply be 'divide 1000 by the ratio number'? I'm assuming you mean numbers like 2.76 for the ratio number, of course.

But isn't this change just temporary? I remember this happening sometime last year for a few days, and then the NP ratio went back to what it was before for all games. Or is it permanent this time?

I can't remember exactly where I heard/read it, but TNT says the NP ratio will be changed much more regularly now, to reflect the difficulty? popularity? something, anyway, of the game.
