And now, for my 75th post, I will explain my theory as to why Neopets is down. It has to do with pageviews. They wanted as many as possible. You know, make money and all. And it crashes the system.
Vertigo, you are so right. That is exactly why we are having down time, item-stealing glitches and resets of shops. Neopets couldn't handle the amount of players it had before the McD's promotion--and now we have even more players because of it.
Instead of anticipating the addition of a certain number of new players due to the promotion and getting enough servers and staff to handle it, the bigwigs of Neopets sat around counting the money they got from McD's.
But, don't they realize that the people first to go when the program glitches up like this are those new players without any time or energy invested into the game? If I was new and saw that the system was like this, I'd quit in a heartbeat and find something more reliable to play.
End result: Most of those new players that they were trying to attract with the promotion will leave in frustration. And those of us who are truly addicted will continue to play in frustration--all the while looking over our shoulders for yet another glitch or red pteri to attack!
Tested made this fabulous set for me!!! Isn't it great?
