I am having no problems locating my book... it showed up with no trouble in my inventory, and I immediately put it in my SDB. And I can find it easily in there. *scratches head*

December 25 i missed the calendar. :(

Urgh! Not again! TNT, you really need to get with it! :x

I'm glad I checked here before going to collect my prizes. This seems like the same thing that happened with the bori plushie, except people aren't seeing a replace. But they're disappearing and reappearing, sometimes being searchable and sometimes not, that happed with the plushie too. So I'm gonna wait till later tonight, and hopefully it will stabilize by then, cuz I really want that book. *crosses fingers*

But I love the look of that petpet, so grypheny! <3 If my eyrie didn't already have a petpet, I'd consider giving it to her. But I'm gonna hold on to it anyway.

For the conspiracy nuts, I didn't get bori plushie (but got lucky and snagged one from the money tree later that day), I currently can search for the book, it shows up in shops, and my account name starts with a Q. I don't know whether I could get the book now, and I'm not gonna risk it just yet.

Edit: Ah, the book has just become unsearchable for me. And I've seen a few broken images with no title under them at the money tree, I suspect those might have been the book.

Gobbler! It's so cute! I'm going to get two of them!.

My book has come back to me... :)

I collected earlier and got both the book and the petpet. My room mate just collected hers and only got the petpet. Wierdness abounds.

My sister logged on and got the book today. Her username starts with "D" if I remember it right.

I checked my SDB and still have my book right now. I should check my pet and see if he's still read it. (I bought both)

For weirdness I have an extra Chocolate Jhudora, one in my inventory and other in my SDB. I can't figure out why I'd have the one in my inventory unless someone gave it to me and no event popped up, or I bought two without realizing it, or it duplicated when I put it in another location from my inventory? Hmmm... :thinking:

Okay, another friend of mine received the book (also received the ogrin plushie during the first glitch) after checking the shop wizard to see if the book was searchable. (It was.)

Later, the book become unsearchable again and the book disappeared from her inventory. (I assume it'll show up again when the book is once again searchable, which is what my books seem to be doing now.)So maybe book unsearchable = book missing = not receiving book from calender? So perhaps anyone who's yet to collect should make sure the book is currently searchable for them. (Mine seems to come and go in cycles.)

Did anyone not get the book when it was searchable for them on the Shop Wiz?

Could I be the rare few that thinks that this is intentional? I think it is supposed to be a random item. What is unusual is their method, but I'll wait it out.

I didn't get the book or the bori plushie.

I bought a book, put it in SDB and now it is a red X.


My thoughts are that the comma in the name are causing the glitches. TNT never use punctuation because of coding errors. (I don't understand it, I am not a programmer or write code).

I remember TNT had to change the name of the band Gruundo because it use to be GrĂ¼ndo (with the umlaut) but had to be changed because it kept glitching (TNT even mentioned this in the news at the time).

Hey! I got both items.. and they're safe in my SDB and I refreashed and they didn't dissapear. Also.. I have a second bori plushi because some random nice person sent it to me.. i'm not sure why. So if anyone wants one, let me know?

Adding to the theories:

Username starts with 's'. Didn't get the Plushie or the book.

Thu Dec 28, 2006 2:01 am

I got both (didn't even know there was/is a problem with the plushie), but I put the book in my SDB and now it's just a blank spot. Can't search it either, it's like it doesn't exist. Maybe they're just having some coding errors that will be fixed later on...

I certainly hope so, because I want to buy another one to read for one of my pets. One for keeping and one for reading, and now I've got nothing. :\

Hmmm, that's odd. I can see the book just fine in my SDB. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I bought them and didn't receive one from the calendar. :thinking:
