Oh em gee etc etc, hee. In this weeks editorial:

Quote:

Please can you release the 'Sharkaw'. Its over a million times better than the kougra which now looks awful. I myself have 2 kougras which I'm desperate to turn into the Sharkaw. There were also alot of pets in the April Fool's joke which put alot of the real neopets to shame but the quality of their drawings. (I also really liked the spider and the standing lizard like pets). - Malabui

I probably shouldn't say this as it will spark mass hysteria, but we are thinking of adding a vote so the most popular pets from April Fools Day can be tweaked and made into actual Neopets that you can adopt. They most probably will not be generally available to all, but there will be a way to get them. How many we release really depends on the voting. With any luck this will begin next week. Also the names of the new Neopets will most likely change as they were just jokey names.

Not much else interesting, except that banner ads will be removed from shops, yay

Wow. But what do they mean, not available to all users? Will they become limited edition? Or something else? Huh...I guess we'll see in due time.

Uh, like Mr. Rogers might have said at one time or other: "Can you say 'Premium'?"

*gasp* Nooooooooo, that would be awful

That would be worse than them not releasing them at all for those of us who can't afford premium :/

My thoughts exactly. And soon, since draiks are so popular, they will become a premium feature as well, where you can create them, instead of hatching them from Draik Eggs or using the Morphing Potion.

Well, there haven't been any Premium Only pets yet, lets hope it stays that way.

I hope its somewhat easier to get than a draik. It would be nice if the item was only about 100k.

Cute!

I suppose that would only be fair, you know. It seems that premium members don't get a lot. I can't afford you, but you know...*sigh* If I close my eyes hard enough I can pretend that my pets are the cool new ones.

Having been in the business world as long as I have, I must say I am a bit jaded as to corporate tactics--in other words, how to squeeze the most profit out of someone with as little effort as possible.

I hope I am wrong--because I really, really like that little swaq.

Trick · **Posted:** Sat Apr 09, 2005 3:41 am

Hopefully the guys at neopets, ie the non-corporate ones, wouldn't do that to the players. I can't imagine Adam and the gang (sounds like a band, heh) thinking premium only pets would be a good or fair idea. That would just be a step too far entirely.

Maybe you'l only be able to get them through the lab ray or something? That wouldn't be *too* bad I guess.

AFI_Sorrow · **Posted:** Sat Apr 09, 2005 3:43 am

If any are premium members only, I can only hope that only SOME are. They say, "there is a way to get them" so maybe it means through a sort of side-quest? (Side-quest? Boy, have I been playing to many RPGs.) You know, like the Krawks, perhaps.
I hope they get creative in ways to get these pets instead of, "fork over money and we'll give you a .GIF image."

Morningstar · **Posted:** Sat Apr 09, 2005 3:50 am

Well, I just thinking a bit about this (ouch), and it could be something to do with those TCG cards--a rare item code, perhaps? Which still puts (real) money in Neopets pockets--the more people that want that particular pet, the more people that might be willing to plunk down $3 for a pack of cards.

Yes, some might say I am a bit jaded.

Chao · **Posted:** Sat Apr 09, 2005 3:53 am

If some of the pets are premium only, you'll soon see the "Wow I like this awesome pet that you guys can't adopt =P", boards. I realize most premium members know better, but a few will try to tease regular users. 5$ on that.

dargonz · **Posted:** Sat Apr 09, 2005 3:56 am

It saays that there is a special way to get them rite? U probaly hav to get trophy's avatars etc.

$3? I paid four dollars! *rip'd off*

Hm. I really hop they at least come out with morphing potions and make that skinny dragon one a real pet. **;

Am I the only one who thinks there are already enough pets out there? I mean, we've got... 50 now? I reckon TNT should concentrate on revamping the old ones, adding colours to most of them, and then work on new pets.
