---------------------

Many people currently believe there will be a second half of the plot released. Some signs are:
- The unresolved ending
- The shortness of the plot
- The Altador Cup "getting in the way" of the Journey Plot
- The "A Mysterious Voyage Continues" notice on the bottom of the News Page (in the "Coming Soon" box)*
- The Question Mark after "The End" on the final chapter of the comic.
- This Neopedia Article features the line "The Fairweathers and their scientific team are currently trying to put together another expedition to the island."

*Please note, this has been there since the start of the plot. So it may not provide solid proof that a second half will feature.

I could've sworn that someone asked about that in one of the editorials (shortly after the plot was "over") and TNT stated that they just hadn't taken it down...but I can't remember if there was a "*shifty eyes*" at the end of it or not. Of course...it could all be just my imagination, or I could've confused it with a different question regarding the plot...who knows. When I get home, I'll see if I can locate the editorial question if no one else has by then.
Edit: Okay, I can't find that anywhere, now, so I guess I was just imagining things. Ignore me - it was probably the remains of the fever I had yesterday making me silly!

Okay, in the New Features today they put up a Neopedia article on Roxton A. Colchester III, and at the end it says



Basically, I think neo is confirming that the plot either isn't over, or there will be a 'phase 2'. Either way, I'm happy.

Hopefully we'll get better trophies if there is a second half...the current one is degrading the awesomeness of my prized possesion...my LDP trophy (even though it isn't the top rank).

The article also has a link to the Journal - another clue that the plot is going to have a part 2.

TNT are always doing new things with the plots and I have no doubt that we will be going back to the island soon.

hopefully this time is the war time, they already solved the puzzle in the island anyway...
so I am imagining that the challengers would be reactivated, and we will continue with our old records, and also have to face new challengers

that, or they start with a clean slate (possibly just saving the points we've earned in the previous plot) for the second expedition and we get another trophy (i'd like that, seeing as how i missed out on the VERY last part of the plot)

i'm not too big on war plots... just a bunch of clicking and weapon splurging to collect points... i'd like a good mix of war plot and puzzles since my pets aren't really battledomes... i kinda liked the pace they went at with this plot (i was moving house at the time) though it does sound like a second part will eventually come, so i guess we just kick back until it comes, then freak out XD

I haven't really been following this plot at all, but I did do a few things at the beginning in order to get a basic trophy and hopefully a sidebar. Question is: is there a sidebar? I didn't get any notice.

I'm betting that the new plot will coincide with the start of the new American school year (around mid-August or so). Mainly because kids will be busy - and need something to keep their attention on Neopets.

I don't think there was. I've gotten my trophy, and played with sidebars recently, and didn't see any new ones added - and I had the "max" points.

Wasn't all that impressed with the prizes, then again, I dunno if I really scored that much or how the scoring even worked. Granted, I bought the one thing I wanted, (Rex's Hat) but that pretty much killed my points. Thought I did pretty good on the plot, and was very disapointed on my prize point results.

Quite honestly i would be ready for a full on war. Unfortunatly knowing TNT that won't ever happen again. They would rather mix puzzles and battling and make battling quite insignificant to the plots.

I'd love to have another real war for our next 'site event'. Don't get me wrong, I love puzzles, but it's been a while for me since I felt my BD wins actually counted for something. Not to mention, it would be really nice if I could have the option to fight more than one opponant.

What would be ideal and i feel would make more people happy (not everyone) is having a full out war, then place a supporter role with a puzzle. The battlers don't need to worry about the puzzle and the puzzlers don't need to worry about the battling.

The only problem is that the puzzles would need to require ALOT of work so that the point ratios can be equal for equal prizes...or both have different prize shops. Either way the puzzles would need to be very difficult to finish and get top prize because battlers fight a lot to get top prize. i feel that this way both sets of prizes would satisfy the people and the prizes would retain more value.

They'll probably never do a battler-supporter war again. The one time they tried that, geesh, the madness. (Pirate Usuki play sets, anyone?) And Neopets has this habit of only going down a path once if their first attempt was a failure. They don't really have a "let's work the bugs out of this and try again" method of operation.
