The ''furniture mover'' statistics were never released, said to be stolen.

Revision as of 21:57, 17 August 2006
The Lost Desert Plot ran from August 30th through November 29th, 2005. This puzzle Plot revolved around Tomos, Nabile, Jazan and Princess Amira, all new characters to the world of Neopia.
The Neopets Lost Desert Plot was one of the more comprehensive plots Neopets had ever released. Not only were the puzzles difficult, it is the first time Neopets implemented a plot which required people to actively participate if they wanted to progress. The large Temple of 1,000 Tombs, unique to each user and requiring extensive mapping, as well as the enormously large Scroll Repository brought on a phenomenon known as OLDPD (Obsessive Lost Desert Plot Disorder).
During the beginning, most of the participants barely left their computers for fear of missing out on an important event that would possibly exclude them out of the plot; this would not be the case, however.
Extremely long waiting times, sometimes weeks long, drove Neopets’ users crazy with anticipation for new clues and/or parts to be released that would allow them to continue. This, combined with increasingly harder tasks sometimes taking 5-6 hours to complete, eventually weeded out most of those who had been there from the start.
The Neopets Team portrayed the marriage of Jazan and Nabile as the end of the plot.
On November 29, 2005, the real ending was released. This second ending, involving the return and defeat of Razul, tied up several loose ends and tied in the end of the puzzle part of the plot.
After a long wait, the prizes were awarded on January 30, 2006.

The furniture mover statistics were never released, said to be stolen. It may be a joke on The Neopets Teams part, as they say they can't continue to find the statistics, as the Sakhmet guards are looking for those who stole The Foremans missing toenail polish, and can't bother to look into something as furniture. It's generally believed the TNT lost the data, or had no way to gauge how many were taken into the Scroll Repository.
