ZOMG YOU CAN WIN NEOCASH FROM THE GAME, TNT IS A BUNCH OF HYPOCRITES!!!1!SHIFT!1





.....but I love them for it anyways! (aside from the fact that it's going to be impossible to land on that space...)

[yvonne_l_d]

This is interesting. I'm not really affected either way by the fact that it's possible to win neocash through the game, because it's probably pretty rare, and I don't know how much is given out. If you really want mall items, you'll probably have to buy neocash to get a sizable amount. But, I suppose if you just like one or two items, then this could be a nice way to get them, instead of shelling out the full five dollars.

[Mongrel]

Oh, they're fiendishly clever. This makes it harder to say customization and Neocash are just a blatant attempt to draw money out of the pockets of ten-year-olds.
Also, I like the idea. I'm sure you only get a paltry sum like $1 worth of Neocash every time you hit the jackpot, but I still like it. Between that and the Halloween Poogle, I'm starting to get some respect back for TNT.

[Lee]

Hmm. That's interesting. The NeoCash must be given out sparingly.

[wandersong]

Someone on the Neoboards claimed to have won 150 neocash, if its true, they're giving away pretty good amount.... though it'll probably be pretty hard to win.

[stampsyne]

I can't complain about free.

[varii]

Was I the only one that started to read

* New Feature - Why send *a* Neopet when you can Send *Your* Neopet? (See what we did there?)

and got really excited that we would be able to transfer pets again? Ugh. I miss the pound.

Nope. I totally read that the same way. It wasn't until I went to the page and read carefully that I realized what was going on.
The daily is cool, though...I got a Honey Filled Olive off of it!

[Skynetmain]

The only downside I see to the daily is this:
Neocash is a representative for real money. The game allows you to win Neocash. So in a sense, this is a game where you are gambling for real money.

I could be looking at this completely wrong and would be happy to be wrong. This is just a crazy thought I have. This isn't a complaint, and I cannot complain if it is free. Free is good.

I don't think that is exactly correct. While neocash does cost real money, I don't believe (and I haven't used the stuff so I'm not totally sure) it can be exchanged back for money. So..it'd be like I went to the store and bought a pack of stickers and gave them out to kids as prizes. the kids can have the stickers, but they can't take them back to the store. So I don't think it really falls under gambling for real money.

I thought, for one moment, that they were actually going to make personal pet transfers possible. Then my brain kicked back in.

[Kenjiro]

Do clothes still retire after some time? I thought I read it a while back, that they were only valid for 90 days or so? Or was that just the test phase?

[Xerophyte]

Just checked, and it looks like they still expire after 180 days.

[smudgeoffudge]

This reminds me of PLINKO! I love it. I have only won a cookie so far. But hey, it is free so who can complain.

The only problem I foresee is if they only give you a few neocash for this.

They'll give you just enough to get you interested and then you'll just have to buy a few more to get the item you want.

Tricky little stinkers, TNT.
