As usual i didnt even get to see it in action. TNT really needs give a darn about people living on the other side of the world...i sleep at 12am then am out *work then class* from 7:30am till 7 pm..how the heck am i supposed to get the sidebar when first TNT don't release it till its already late at night here and then get rid of it by 4 pm my time/ 12am nst.

this is total and utter smurfism and i am fed up..i've had avatars missed because of the same smurfin reason..tnt eats greens eggs!

My sentiments exactly. They should have at least activated it at 12am and ended it 24 hours later so that no matter what time zone you are in, so long you come on everyday you have a chance to get it.

I expressed my feelings in the comments section.

Dear Sir /Madam,

I would like to know if TNT takes into consideration the feelings of its members who live halfway around the other side of the globe. I just logged on to find that i missed pretty much the whole valentines day sidebar shebang..in fact i would have never known what it looked like if someone hadn't posted a picture of it. I live in Singapore and currently i am work from 7 plus in the morning till 2 in the afternoon and twice a week i have my diploma classes till 6 pm and i reach home at 7. So twice a week i'm out from 7 am to 7 pm. Monday i had free time and i was on Neopets around 3 to 5 pm but contrary to what Neopets said, it doesn't release stuff on the dot at 12 am nst..which would be 4 pm for me. So i go through my routine, go to work today, then go to class and come home to find that i've missed experiencing a valentines sidebar. and it's not only the sidebar that i've missed, i believe i've missed some avatars for the same reason..timing..as well as unlocking another sidebar..i think the halloween one..it isnt physically possible for me to be online at 12 am nst to unlock a sidebar unless i decide that my class isnt as important as a sidebar and play the sick card.

what my ranting and raving is basically about is that i think TNT doesn't really take into consideration the other half of the world when its making it's decisions to release things like sidebars..can't tnt put up a sidebar for 2 days so that it overs not only the american population but also gives people from other timezones a chance to see it themselves..It is very frustrating to feel left out of the loop over and over again because of my ill fitting timezone. Tell u what, i'll move to LA, and quit whining about timezone disadvantage, just provide me with a job and an apartment ..and possibly a cute boyfriend!

Thank you for your time and the automated letter that will follow.

Hear hear....I was lucky to wake up very early this morning, but it only left me 45 minutes to get the sidebar...

Not that it helped, because someone sending me a card with 2 minutes till midnight wouldn't unlock my bar. *sigh*

Hey Ducky, I guess we are glad we did that last night. I had to get off 5 miutes after we got it.

The only thing I've noticed while using the sidebar is I get more "Ghosts have stolen X NPS and put it in the Money Tree"

Finally! An end to the madness.

*sigh of relief*

And no more pink frilly stupid sidebar. Thank goodness!

I spent 200k on it, so i feel lucky I got it. though I did waste a bunch of money.

I ddin't want to have missed the frist three ever released. The halloween sidebar was madness.

Blue Wolf · **Posted:** Tue Feb 15, 2005 5:55 pm

Bleh, I am still restock banned from yesterday. Valentine day still torment me.

Oh well, next sidebar, please!

Snowfire · **Posted:** Tue Feb 15, 2005 5:56 pm

how was the halloween one unlocked? I of course missed it also

I is 3 am here when the day changes and I of course went to bed before it was released to unlock from what i hear.

You ahd to be online during the minute of 11:59 on halloween to get that bar.. For some people who value sleep, that's absolutely absurd.

That was 7:59AM for me. And luckily I couldn't sleep, or else I wouldn't have ANY of the sidebars unlocked. x_X;;

Well that is just plain anoying. Well I guess when you have played neo for 3+ years run a huge guild and have seen basically everything ..

you shouldn't be surprised by stupidity.. but it does still happen

Oh well i guess i'll wait for the next bar.. I got the v-day one last night because I happened to get on for 5 minutes before i went to bed after my day of work and college and all that.. and paid 150k for it :/
But that was pure luck i even got on :/

Aw.

I missed the sidebar. I didn't even get to see it because I was having computer problems and today is the first day since last week that I have been able to use my computer properly. I don't think I'm very fond of the whole "You can only get the special sidebars on their special days" mentality.
