Well, once I got to 1,000 and tried to pay, I see this:

But why aren't my Neopoints deducted right away?

In order to avoid incurring debt that would lead to various account restrictions, you will have the chance to earn the necessary Neopoints to pay off your bill, which will be required to be paid in full one week after your current bill starts or unless your bill accumulates to 50,000 NPs (whichever comes first).

It took me a few seconds to realize I even had the new application, because I'd just woken up from a very long nap (did not get much sleep last night...).

It was cute for the first five minutes, but if I have to stare at that thing out of the corner of my eye for the entire weekend.... :\

It says that it takes 24 hours to process... just enough time for the joke to be over!

This took me for about a nano second and then I was like April Fools! But it's weird, we have to add it to our bill before we can pay for it? How were they thinking that was gonna work? No one would ever even add it to their bill. But whatever - April Fools!

petpages cost 75 np

If you're trying to rack up a huge debt, that'd be the place to go

So they did figure out a charge for these, eh? *whistles* Pretty steep. Fun don't come cheap these days...

Bah! And here I was, thinking "Wow, now that is an awesome way to both kill inflation and level the playing field against broadband refreshers! But the prices are a little high, and I bet the neoboard addicts won't be happy...." Bah!

Maybe the prices are an April Fools joke, and we'll just have to pay (for example) .11 NP per view instead of 11? *hopeful*

Oh my gosh, this seriously would have had me if I hadn't have come here. First time TNT got me for April 1st.

I think this warrants a picture moment.
