Yay now I can be officially disappointed that the big news wasn't plot prizes. Yay. *commencing disappointedness* :zzz:

Now we know what creature TNT really had in mind when they redesigned the pet. Not a llama at all. If the name is any indication, the Gnorbu is actually modeled after the Gnu. Broad, big nose, mane, odd markings. They're like long lost half-brothers.

So disappointed, I hoped today was going to be plot prizes... *sigh* just have to wait until March.

Some people put notes on their lookup saying that more than one person uses the computer, so there may be more than one account gaining NP or items from the IP. Do you actually read these notes and take them into consideration when you are thinking about freezing/suspending someone for gaining NP/doing dailies on multiple accounts? ~ melodicdreams
Nope, they don't do any good. Anyone can say they have a sister/parent/friend who uses the same computer/IP address/email whether it's true or not and, unfortunately, people do lie about such things to try and get away with cheating. Because of this, the monitors have to go by the information we have on each account (which is quite extensive) rather than by the user's word.

Hmm...this is news to me. Anyone else too, or am I just behind the times?

I've seen this on a lot of the "higher" level players. I've always thought it was pretty silly, and now my opinion has been confirmed.

Don't like the new pet, but I'm not going to whine about it.

The Ogrin was so much worse, and hey, people at least somewhat -voted- this one in.

Am I the only one who hates all of the new pets TNT are releasing? :roll:

I have a note like that on my userpage because of my brother who keeps using multiple accounts and getting frozen. It irritates me that neopets won't take into account anything and seem to just be looking for any reason to freeze you.

And the new pet looks too much like the Ogrin.

The new pet is pretty niffy. Expected War Prizes thoguh..

I wouldn't say hate, but I'm not too keen on any of these three guys.

Is it just me, or does the brown gnorbu look pretty decent. A good colour. But the pet is still a little happy go lucky. I think the whole neopet player is hoping for a "eviler" pet to be released next hopefully.

I rather like the brown version too, but I don't think I'll waste my brown PB on it. ...yet

I voted for the Varwolf. I figured it was between the Gnorbu & Sharkaw though. I thought the Sharkaw was more popular...

The llama-ish pet wasn't bad looking, until they made it over... that ruined it. The April Fool's version was way, way better.

I quite like it, I like that they calmed down the circle pose a lot:

However, the ranged attack pose (and the other bd poses but you may not often see those) really lets the pet down. If they switched Angry and Ranged Attack around I'd really like this pet. As it is I'll be looking forward to seeing some redraws as I think there is a lot of potential there

<- cute ^__^

I Love it, Wanted One since the April Fools pets were released, Given the Original was a lot better than the Revamp but the Revamp is great, Not a Fan of the paintbrush Colours Bar The Brown one, gonig to wait to see which other colours are realesed, baby is so-so but if I got one, casn't wait for them to release more colours though =D *Huggles Llahmah*

I'm very disappointed that I wasted a vote on the April Fool's pet. I would've prefered the Vacana over the Gnorbu

so that's what a gnu is. i saw a sign that said something like "something gnu is coming" at disnetland in cali, and i always wondered what a gnu was.

and it's not really too bag. it's got potential. i'd say it's better than the uni, or what ever it april fooled. i've never seen any of them

I hate the previous two, and I just don't care for this one ...enough to hate it.
