Advent Calendar (split #3)

[TiCup]

I wish I'd checked here before going to the calendar. *facepalm* But then again, there's no way I could have known.

[Witch King]

Wanted to state that I just went to go and attempt to collect the prize for today, and instead it didn't load and claims that I already collected my prize.

Nothing is in my inventory or Neopoint status has changed.

[Penguin]

Guys today's prize was the season attack pea avatar and you cant collect it if you already have it

[Witch King]

Your kidding right? Just the avatar and not like 200np?

Ok, I won't complain much...

[Penguin]

Yeah, I got it last year but it is indeed just an avatar


Edit: I added it to the front page for people who aren't up yet.

[Alex]

Has anyone actually confirmed this?

Because the last three years when the avatar was a prize, there were also NPs and prizes given out.

[Penguin]

Thats what Ive heard from several people, but Im waiting for a screenie

[Alex]

Not true.

Just checked with a friend who didn't previously have the avatar, and she didn't receive anything at all.

Additionally, if you look at prizes from previous years, they all show that prizes were given out as well as the avatar.

Also, on your front page message, someone has said they didn't get the avatar.

Glitch, for sure.

EDIT: Also, on the first day, we all received prizes, regardless of whether or not we had the Fir av. So I don't see why this would be different.

That's what I thought... however a few people on the neoboards claim they didn't get the avvie this year despite not getting it last year... how far the neoboards can be trusted is of course an issue but I've heard conflicting theories regarding today's prize/lack thereof.

That's amongst the "OMG we should all leave, like TNT is insulting christmas, we deserve prizes, they are required to give them to us" posts of course

EDIT: Alex got there before me.

[Penguin]

ok, glad that's been confirmed, Ive taken down the news post

[mazil]

Not true.

Just checked with a friend who didn't previously have the avatar, and she didn't receive anything at all.

Yeah... I just went to get my prize, and I don't have the avatar (though there's a small chance that I just can't see it on my list? Is it just called "Seasonal Attack Pea" or similar?)

Dangit. I thought yesterday, "I'm so going to check the thread from now on, before collecting my prize."... and then I forgot.

*thinks "I'm so going to check the thread from now on..."*

[Alex]

mazil - Yep, it's just Seasonal Attack Pea. Have you signed up for AvatarLog? It's great for keeping track of your avs, and saves you from hunting through your list

I need to learn to check the thread first too...

[Machiito]

Well, hopefully TNT will either reset the Advent Calender after they fix it, or, they'll give everyone a make-up gift.

..or today was just a giant tease, in which case it wasn't a very funny prank. >>;

Like the pant devil stealing your rod of ultranova?

Hmm, I wonder what he'll steal this year.

[Wind]

Yeah. We got a couple of items in July, so they can skip a day in December? I'm waiting till tomorrow, hoping we'll all get a petpet or some uber-strong weapon, then I'm going to flood their editorial with whiny mails.
