50 NC!

I just claimed mine, and I got NP instead of NC:

I wish I'd claimed it earlier -- though I've never actually spent NC, and I'm not a big fan of customization... wait, why am I complaining that I didn't get something I didn't want and didn't earn?

[Regan]

I got the NC, which I'm stoked about. I'm saving up all of the free NC I can get. I'm not sure what I'm saving for, but still... Yay!

[Rubywinged]

I got neocash as well. I wonder if it's something with an accounts age or what your location is. o.0

That can't be it because I'm an adult with a 6+ year old account in the US (same as many of the others who've gotten free NC), and I've gotten all the other free NC offers. I didn't collect until right before I posted -- maybe they decided to stop doing the NC at a certain point in the day? Weird. I guess I'll send in a bug report. Even though the only thing I want the NC for is to save up enough to get a "Down with NC" sign -- without ever buying any NC!

Have you visited the NCMall? TNT stated in the editorial that if you were missing it, you might check there...

Also, NC expires after a year. If you haven't bought anything with the NC that you've had for a full year, it will turn into a random item from the mall. Therefore, the odds of you ending up with 5000 NC over the course of a single year for free...is very small.

Whaaa? So, how do you know how long you've had your NC for I've been holding on to some that I got for free but I don't remember when.

I didn't know it expired, either (obviously), but I just went exploring in the mall. On the left hand side, if you click on "NC Account," you'll get the choice for "NeoCash log" -- that'll tell you when you got your points. I won some from Expellibox on 11/30/07 -- looks like I need to redeem those ones ASAP. Thanks for the head's up, Pickles!

It looks like the log isn't *entirely* accurate...the 50NC from Halloween and 50NC from today do not show up in the log - although we know those dates/values. The rest of the log seems to be correct as to when you win off the Expellibox and what not.

For the record:

# Does my Neocash expire?
# Yes, your Neocash expires 1 year from your purchase date.

On another note, it looks like TNT still hasn't activated the Peppermint Stomach Medicine, as the prices have dropped. I'm debating getting some more of them now, and hoping that TNT does actually activate it.

For the record:

# Yes, your Neocash expires 1 year from your purchase date.

Hmm... They specifically say that it's valid one year from the purchase date. But what if you didn't purchase it and won it from Expellibox or from the Advent Calendar?

Perhaps that's a question for the Editorial...

[Rubywinged]

I can't figure out why but i love todays animation. maybe it's the stupid 'huh?' he makes I just had to say i enjoy it.

The editorial says purchase date but the "NC mall shopping rules" mumbo jumbo just says it expires after one year, period. I'm trying to keep track of it all though... I've won/earned a total of 700 NC. The first bit was the 150 that they gave everybody for free... I bought a 200NC background. So that means my first 150NC is redeemed, as well as 50NC from the second transaction listed? I wish it would have a little column there for checkboxes: redeemed or not. Or something. I guess I'll just try to spend more of it before April 10th, just in case. I just think it's silly, what if I'm waiting for something to be released that really catches my eye, that isn't released until after a year? :/

(Should we make a separate discussion thread for all this?)

[Pudding]

If anyone happens to be following the NeoCash expiration discussion, it's continued in its own thread.

In other news, I quite like the Bag of Coal from today.

I actually liked the animation today. The sheer disappointment in ??'s face when he discovered he got a stocking full of coal was great.
