So what exactly is "exciting"? No avatar, no plot prizes = sucks? Everyone always says the news is boring, I like theme days! Yay Meerca day! I went and tried to enroll my side account Meerca at the academy but forgot that the news is always early... 'tis tomorrow.

The new fun images are kinda cool... other than that yeah, that's pretty boring.
I think we're all disenheartened becasue we're been lead on, no plot prizes, an avatar that's impossible to get, and the month and a half of having things released and not actually activated made us all a bit bitter.

I'll admit, the Robot Meerca looks pretty neat 
But I would really like plot prizes.. or something!
Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

Just for once, put "ZOMG prizes in the News!!!" in the title, and watch the confusion ensuing. Seems that TNT is lazy and wants to enjoy their holidays. At least they gave us a bit of fun when they started the Cyodrake's thingy, but no stuff to do = boring.
Well, at least the plushies aren't oogly anymore.

Wow, a cold <i>and</i> heartburn. Poor guy.
And I agree that the plushies look much better now.

It's hard to get excited about standard stuff when what we're really craving is our rewards. Everything else just seems painfully dull in comparison to prizes.
Those new Meerca weapons are pretty snazzy, though. And I'd love a meerca cinnamon roll, or whatever those Cinnabon-looking thingamabobs are.

The news is exciting for me cuz I love Meercas! New Meerca colors will satisfy me for today. For the other days that prizes aren't released, though...

What I dont get, is, if the news for the 18th is already out, how will we know who wins the beauty contest? I ask, because I submitted a picture of http://www.neopets.com/search.phtml?selected_type=pet&string=Dark_Dragon742

I want a Maraquan Meerca Mine, even though I'll never use it.
Also, looking at the front page, is it just me, or are the Meerca bros. the only well known Meercas in the whole of Neopia?

I actually liked the old style meerca plushies better 
I must be a Neopets purist!
Really, I think I am.
