Yay free training for Alexandria, even though I don't battle.

Did anyone who read the editorial for the NT think all the answers sounded very angry and snotty? They came off that way for me for some reason.

I agree the editorial sounded frustrated and a bit snippy. I think they've been higher than usual quantities of angry mail.

I'm pretty sure the new clothes will end up wearable, so that's exciting. I can actually pay attention to new clothing releases now. :)

I kind of expected they would release a Lutari Island Kougra for Kougra day, just because it's so close to Lutari day, but I'm glad they didn't. Snow is probably better.

I wonder if they chose to make a Snow Kougra specifically because of the Christmas in April half the country is experiencing? =P

Kougra days make me sad, I have one but I can't really partake in the festivities because my level is too high to get free training. :( Same with Aisha days, and my Draik is only a couple levels away... That leaves my lab rat, which will just get zapped back down to 1 within the week.
They really should change it so that every pet can enjoy their day.

The 'Fun' Images look really creepy all bobbing together.

Sweet, I made the news!

I kind of got the feeling from the editorial they agreed with the player who mention so many questions asking more or less the same thing each week. Of course they don't have to use those ones, but I'm guessing that questions on that theme make up a large chunk of those submitted.

I do believe that it was done tongue in cheek. Facetious and a bit flippant is my interpretation of the editorials. After all, they are the same people who gave us Neocharge and have made our petpets disappear and have done other seemingly cruel tricks on their players. I, for one, greatly appreciate their sense of humor.

I really can't blame them for being a bit snarky in the editorials. They even flat-out said that many of the questions are variants of the same thing, or something answered in TOS, or some other question that is not really for the editorial (bugs, etc). Between those and the insistence to say "omg TNT you ROCK!" almost every other question, I would be going insane!
