No such thing as fair anyways.


How true ... how true ... fair is always pretty shaky when it comes to TNT.

It did take a long time for the super secret school to come out ... but I think they should reduce the time for the normal training if they are going to allow level 250's to train in 4 hours, though.

Just my opinion.

I think it's fair. Anyone who uses the new training school has already paid their dues, so to speak, at the normal one -- they've done all those long courses. Plus, they're paying a lot of money to use the new school, so I don't mind if they can train faster for a while.

Well, they are paying about 19-30k per session, compared to 2-5k.

Actually ... I just realized that it is *24* hours from levels 201-250. (As you can tell ... I am not that high). That is *nuts* :)

I agree ... the high levels have already paid their dues so to speak ...

For the first 50 levels or so ... it is really only 10 non-red codestones to train. Some of the red codestones are actually cheaper than 10 non-red codestones anyway (at least for the time being).

I guess just a factor of 6 faster moving from 249 to 250 seems pretty drastic.

Well, yes some of the red codestones are relatively cheap. However, I just enrolled my pet in the school and was asked for an unbuyable red codestone. There are none in the TP and one in auctions, a few at unbuyable prices in shops. So my pet is just stuck there. I tried to "make" a few red codestones but so far I've only gotten codestones worth less than what it cost to make them.

There should be a way to earn these Red Codestones through RE's and through Tombola. Because otherwise, people will be using up the market of normal codestones. Just watch as the prices go steadily up.

And maybe the volcano can create the codestone you need, if you need it for training. Sort of like the Esophagor and the Brain Tree. That'll stop the whole 'I can't find the codestone it's asking me for' issue.

The market will be balanced out by the fact that people will eventually realize how incredibly expensive this thing is. Negg Training can actually be cheaper than the Ninja school.

For once I was half-right on Neopia. Just after the war I started buying codestones to further train my Pet. Now I have enough to train for 3 or 4 days, not having to deal with the flutuaction of the market. Hopefully, when I need more, the price will be stabilized again.

8 codestones for a level 200ish pet. 8*4k = 32k

The price is fine ... I have no problems with that. :)
