A lack of Random Events today?

Fri Nov 19, 2004 7:33 pm

Has anyone gotten a random event today? I have noticed an extreme lack of them. Today I have played Dice-A-Roo, Scorchy Slots, Neggsweeper, Pyramids, and Sakmet Solitare to their limits and I have not gotten one random event. I usually get four to five by now, but I haven't gotten a single one. I was wondering if anyone is noticing this. Maybe it's another effect of the database problems? I don't remember certainly, but I think I was getting REs yesterday. Funny how you don't really pay attention to something until it's gone, eh? ;) lol

I haven't gotten any, either. I've been playing Neoquest II, and I haven't gotten a single one. I didn't notice it before now, but since you mention it... Strange! o_O

hehe , you must be reading minds :) , I was just thinking the very same thing, In fact I havent had one since the site came back up..

SS:)

Glad I'm not alone. I spent about 5 hours on Neo today and didn't get a single one.

Well except the one I got when I refreshed at the Advent Calendar. Found the Great Ice Treasure of 422 np's.

Normally I would get 5 - 8 events in that amount of time. I got plenty yesterday including a Faerie Queen Quest. Do quests count as random events?

I'd love a random event, but I hardly get them anyway. Trying to get slorg avi at the moment. My slorg is over 100 days, but after an hour of refreshing, no avi still :cry:

Yeah, I've been thinking exactly that. I play pyramids and solitaire to the limits every day, too, and I haven't gotten a single RE. Not even a chia telling me about badges for my site!

I posted about the lack of random events in the "Errors, errors, everywhere" thread last night - wanted to see if anyone was having the same problems I was having.

I haven't had one since Neopets went down :(

I think this is probably just an after effect from the downtime. I'm sure that in a few more days the RE's will be back to normal. If not, you can hit me with a fish.

Yes, since the crash not a single random event. Played Neggsweaper, cliffhanger, pyramids a bit. Nothing. I'm on 4~5 hours a day. Nada

Same here!! I've been playing NQII for at least 5hrs since the maintainance, and not a SINGLE RE :cry: Not even a "a draik comes flying your way, he's heading to mystery island" or any of those junk REs...

I'm glad someone posted on this, because I was wondering if it was just me. I haven't had one since the sight went down either. Also, for those of you that play pyramids, does it annoy you since the site change? (aka the banners up top) I used to be able to play without scrolling at all, but now I have to scroll every move. I like pyramids, and the 5k that I could win there daily, but it just annoys me now.

You mean Sakmet Solitare? ;) Yeah, that is really annoying. It makes playing take much longer. On somedays I don't even want to bother with it and don't play, which is a shame because I used to play it everyday.

Actually, I was talking about pyramids. :) I'm not a big fan of the solitaire. But either way, I've stopped messing with it a lot of days because of it.

P.S. I'm also a huge fan of Ramen, and am becoming one of Kitty-chan, too! :D

This is a topic on my guild board now - since neo went down no one has had a random event apart from two winter events.

Thats a fair few people saying the same thing :(
