Yeah that's what they've been saying since the FAQ said the NC portion was expiring then

 

Scrappy did a soft denial of that, but nothing concrete

 

It would be an extremely short plot with nothing to goddamn do if so lol

I don't think it's gonna end with the NC portion, they don't really /need/ to go together. And Scrappy mentioned in the Editorial that they're moving/they've moved offices, which is why the plot is moving slowly, so even if they did plan to end on the 10th, that would have changed.

There are eight potions on Taelia's table.   We have produced three.

Even more, actually There are ten! (counting the one on her hand)

[GhostMommy]

Damn it Jim, I'm a lawyer not a counter type person.   There are Ten potions and two more ingredients.  Not sure about the contents of the mortar and pestle.

Didn't Scrappy said somewhere that the plot will finish when the players beat the bad guys whatever they are called, so it's basically up to us?

I think that's just a way to say "it ends when it ends", so they don't have to give a specific date, which would probably be delayed.

Yeah, makes sense. Quite an unexciting event even by the latest Neopets standards.

[GhostMommy]

For this I trained battlepets?

At this rate of update!

[magic8ball]

At this rate of update!

 

It really is feeling like that, ha ha! Did they really time the plot to happen during their move?

[jaredyne]

Whatever the case, they've proven to be extremely bad at planning. Could've been accident... but for something they've allegedly been planning for over a year.... yeah c'mon get your shit together TNT

December 10 and the wraiths have disappeared from the Battledome

 

 

well done TNT, well done. stellar job per usual...

[Swar]

Welp, seems like they really planned to end on the 10th. When I thought things couldn't get worse lol.

[elkid27]

Im not normally one to look a gift horse in the mouth, but I almost think no plot would have been better than getting our hopes up and everyone all excited only to have this mess.

[Branlaur]

Well wraiths are back up, so it looks like they've extended the plot after realizing they didn't change the automated end to the plot I guess

[jaredyne]

Lol excellent. The wild ride continues!

Another and bizarre step got released today.

 

Click on the Bridge.

 

You will be taken here

 

http://www.neopets.c...hactivity.phtml

 

Randomly go right or left until you get to a glimpse of cloaked figure.

 

If you don't see the cloaked  figure, try again in two hours.

New drops for the wraiths in the Battledome, too; Mysterious Cyan Coffer, unlocks with a Golden Key from the NC Mall. Up to 4 currently drop.

[jaredyne]

Faerie Caverns 2.0 TNT pls...

 

Right, so as noted there's a new thang.

There's your bridge (once you complete this step the bridge stops being clickable, looks like). There's also a new option "Story So Far" - just gives you a catch up on what the faeries been saying on the plot hub. Boring.

 

I didn't take screenshots but this bridge is rather like Faerie Caverns. Just pick left or right randomly, if you "fail" it says you get lost and you can only go back to HQ, and can try again in 2 hours.

 

If you "succeed" you'll get:

 

(it bugs me a lot that those buttons aren't centered)

 

And then... that's it? GG. There's no new achievements so far.

I struggled with this part because I expected more content in this portion than the last two and the disappointment spurred upon an internal war between hope and utter nihilism for the human race.

I feel like this entire plot has been designed by that guy who just needed one last class credit to graduate and already had an A+ in the class and knew literally anything he put on the paper would get him enough points to pass.

Ha, I feel like this is the kid that forgets to show up to class most of the time, shows up right before the final, reads the requirements, forgets half, and turns in slightly-polished garbage... and then asks for an extension because his fourth or fifth grandma died. And ate his homework. And he really needs the class to graduate, so can't he just get a pass on this?

[jaredyne]

My expectations coming in were so low I'm astonished they managed to not surpass them. That's a kind of impressive, right?
