Prizes for TM scratch cards have been updated. First they updated the actual item prizes, but now the NPs have been updated, too. O.o

The Kiosk Wocky says 'We have a winner!!!'
YOUR PRIZE : 25,000 Neopoints!!!!
...from a Race to Riches Scratchcard I just bought and scratched this morning! Woot!
From that card, looks like 2.5k is now 10k, 5k is now 15k, 10k is 25k....and according to JN, the 50k spot is now 75k.

Maybe they'll make the level win so that it goes to your active pet? Maybe? Pretty please?

------------------------
ETA:
Since the time I made the original post, they have confirmed that they will be updating scratchcards to have the stats go to the active pet. Still hasn't happened yet, but I'm hoarding my TT and FF scratchcards.

On a bigger piece of news...they updated the battledome boosts today. There are now brackets for 800 and 850!

I'm super excited about this!
Anyone hoarding stat boosting items...they have inflated quite a bit!

Thanks, Pickles! That gives me two extra strength boosts (and I'm 3 away if they go for another), and one extra defense (37 away from the last, if the lab would stop stealing them).

I'll have to see if it helps me battle with fewer clicks anywhere.

Edit: I don't know if it's different, but I can beat Tekkitu by clicking on warlocks rage, thundersticks, and the sword of Malek ?, then I just have to skip and click quickly on the second round (because the sword finishes her off while the thundersticks prevents damage for that round). So it's nearly as fast as a single round.

She only has 136-152 HP left after the first round, so I could probably finish her off in one with slightly stronger weapons (and/or a 900 strength boost). Either way, I'm never going to max out my BD HP in a day.

Edit: Is this a new feature? I just won a gold mote from the WoK, and I was offered the chance for another spin if I watched an ad. I did, and won another prize (a food). I didn't think to check whether the additional spin cost the 400 NP or not, but it was still pretty cool. Guess I'll need to actually wait for the wheel to finish spinning instead of refreshing. Does this happen on the other wheels? Obviously it's more valuable for daily wheels. I wonder how often the offer is made... Only certain squares?

Or maybe this is old, and I just missed the memo. I remember I thought I had to click on the location of the prize for the forgotten shore for years until one day I misclicked and realized you could click anywhere. (To be fair, TNT used to torture us with pixel-perfect clicks back in the day.)

Edit: no offer for an extra spin today.

I believe this was new as of sometime yesterday.
I was able to do two spins today on WOK as well...but I guess because of premium, I didn't have to watch an ad. I am expecting all the same issues that happened with the Wheel of Celebration to occur again. 100% expecting that my kiddos will not be able to get the ad to work at all, because I'm pretty sure that they've got an age limit on it again. Ah, well.

Tl;Dr version (my edits were long as I reacted to each issue):
1) WoK bonus spin is glitched -- sometimes it doesn't load at all, and other times it doesn't give me the reward even though I watched the ad. Submitted a ticket after the second no-reward.

2) TNT has started requiring you to watch ads before loading certain pages (with the obnoxious "reward" countdown, identical to WoK's, except thankfully it does actually load the page properly afterwards). I submitted a ticket today after it happened to me at the healing springs (other time was SW).

I told them I'll either be installing an ad blocker on my phone (which I've avoided because I do want them to get ad revenue from me) or quit the site altogether before I put up with this intrusive level of advertisement on their site.

I'm hoping it's just a glitch that's accidentally making the WoK reward bleed over onto other pages. I'll give them a little time to answer/fix it, because at least it's rare for now. But that's just entirely too much. I already have to deal with ads that block the pages from working sometimes, and others that trick me into clicking them. Taking 5 seconds for every page load is ridiculous.

Ugh, Siniri. I hope they fix the WoK errors soon. There are a lot of people having trouble with it now. I told my kiddos to not even bother attempting the second spin, so they haven't.

Due to persistent increased interest, Cancelled Due to Lack of Interest Day has officially been UNCANCELLED! Which, we suppose just makes it plain old March 3rd again...
In memory of previous days that were Cancelled Due to Lack of Interest, the Neopian Gift Shop has released two new items, Cancelled Neopian Times Issue and Cancelled Meerca Chase!
P.S. This means the current date will be used in New Features updates moving forward and not be 1 day ahead!

I'm still trying to wrap my brain around that wording... :lol:

On a more serious note:
JellyNeo has reported an active hack on the site.
Basically...if you've played Kacheekers/Armada/Geos, change your password ASAP and don't visit those pages.

If you haven't, you're probably fine, but...you might want to change your password anyways just in case you haven't in a while.

ETA:
There's a new stamp available at the Grundo Warehouse from the new coloring book being released later this month. The code is:

The stamp goes in the top right corner of the 'Other V' album.
