Grrrrarrrrrarrrr.
I was hoping it would be up today, my side accounts needs some care >.< I'm getting the down for maintenace message. Then again, over 9000 people rushing to the pound can't help, either. :P

Well, the pound is on its way. Check this out:

It is not up yet but you can see what it will be like.

EDIT: THE POUND IS NOW OPEN!!! GOGOGO HURRY!

It's interesting to me that the price varies depending on level...i think

There are still a fair amount of good pets in the paint. I saw a mutant koi, mutant kiko, faerie lupe (with a reasonable name), starry xweetok and some other painted pets.

I also spotted a glitch, wearables shouldn't be transportable via de pound:

Edit: I just spotted another pet with a yellow background. I guess the yellow background is glitchy and stays on your pet when you pound it, even though it should.

It's sad. It took me a while to realize that there was a background on that pet...lol It's probably left over from before.

It surely looks like it's up, but try clicking "Adopt".
You will be able to adopt Neopets very soon, but not yet.

They are teasing us :(

It seems to be working. The main page has all three doors on it, and the adopt page no longer says to be patient. :)

Did anyone notice the painted pets disappear within two seconds of being able to adopt? :lol:
I'm not really complaining, I didn't find anything I liked.
I wonder if we'll be waiting a year for those frozen pets....
I'm kind of finding it hard to believe so many people were trading their pets at the time o_O
I've traded pets before, you don't leave them in the pound more than 10 seconds really....

I never attempted it. But I thought the issue was more that people didn't know that you couldn't adopt any more?

Cool, it's actually up. Has anyone tried the transfer feature yet? Any reports of bugs? I think I'll wait a week or so to try anything.

I LOVE the pets on my side, but HATE the side's name. So I can finally switch them to a new account, which is awesome. It'll take a while, but it'll be worth it. Also, I can replace the mall item I bought since side accounts are allowed to collect the free NC! Yay! Wait, is there an age limit to the transfer thing?


Edit: Welp, I just screwed myself. I went to create the name I wanted and got to the second step, thought of another one, went back to try the new one, was told it was too short, and went back to try my original and was told it's unavailable. When you search for it there's no one with that name, and when you try to create it it's unavailable. I suck at life.

I shuffled three of my pets around with out any issues. It would have been 4, but pets under 7 days of age can't be transferred.

And I think there's a 4 month age limit on transferring.

Also, Lutaris cannot be transferred. :oops:

I already adopted a grarrl, fed it, and zapped it for a few more strength points.

This is something I enjoy, and I am glad for the transfer option. I'd heard too many stories of people trying to transfer pets and losing them.

I abandoned my Thornberry Chia, then readopted a few seconds later without incident :D I also transferred my Robot Poogle (lucky lab zap) to my side successfully :D Although, seeing the 450 NC I spent on her go to waste was frustrating :(

I'm in the midst of my first transfer (with someone else). This is too exciting,having a working pound. I hope I can scoop up a couple of good pets.

As soon as I have room, I'll probably go pound surfing again. :)
