Ah, that could be it. I wish the PPL page didn't make it sound like everyone with the petpet got np though.

I won a Raptraphant Leg can someone else tell me which foods are given away on the wheel because I think lots of people are winning food. I want to take advantage of the lower prices in shops.

I got a lottery ticket on my spin. I hope cranberry and I got the same numbers so we both win.

On Friday we will be taking the Stockmarket offline for a few hours for some maintenance. This should take approximately three hours, but we will try to get it back up as soon as we can.
----
This sounds scary. Any bets how the maintenance goes? I wonder what they are going to change. I hope they don't ruin the neopoint profit possibilities at the stock market. That would be sad.
Perhaps I should take my screenshot now in case something goes haywire.

What worries me is the likelihood of LOSING some of my stock! I have a pretty big chunk of nps invested (WELL over 700k). I'm thinking I should take some screenies or something!!!

I plan on doing exactly that. I have over a million invested in the stock market - they had BETTER not change anything major. If I lose NP because of this...

Yeah, I currently have approximately 2 million NPs in the stock market. I'm a little worried about it.

I'm hoping they're just doing something like changing the layout of the pages. One thing that I think has needed to be done for a long time is putting the stocks on the "sell" page in a sensible order: alphabetical order or order of value or SOMETHING except the confusing "most recent stocks last" layout.
I can imagine a lot of ways the interface could be improved. Make it so that you can sort your portfolio by stock value as well as alphabetical order? Make it so that all your stocks of one type display on one line, with the number you have? (I guess that would mess with the "bought at" data but it would be nice to have as an option, as I never pay attention to the bought at, as to date I've never bought at more than 16.). Put buttons to buy or sell stock right on the portfolio page? Get rid of the silly routine where you have to click on TWO links to get a list of all the stocks? (Luckily, at the moment I have at least a bit of everything in my portfolio, so I can just check my portfolio page to see what's good to buy today.)
Like that I said, that's what I HOPE.
Given that I started getting into the stock market seriously last fall and it's now my major source of income (easier and more lucrative than playing games) I'm AFRAID that they're going to do something a lot worse to it.
EDIT: Wow. Just did the screenshot of my portfolio thing... it took 16 screenshots. Now, I'm not running at terribly high resolution, I made things overlap a LOT since I didn't want to overlap in the middle of a block of stocks (makes it hard to tell how much I have), and I forgot to use F11 to turn off the toolbars on top, but still... It must have been a pain for some of those people at the Neodaq forums.

Speaking of bad luck I wonder if TNT will do a Friday The 13th themed day and increase the chances of getting bad Random Events (eg. The Taxes REs , 5000 stolen from you by that Mutant Kadoatie RE etc), bad prizes, etc because of Friday The 13th being associted with bad luck.

Hmm, I got PPL prizes and I dontthink i was on the highscore list! It might take a while to get thru.
And I think the WOM being FASTER would have been better than being more generous
EDIT: You got a Tyrannian Petpet Paint Brush! ^.^ Maybe it is..

I let it spin over night, and when I woke up this morning I had the avatar. I'm not much of a collector, but I guess it is a pretty good prize to get. Better, at least, than the rock of the beast...
