Ok, I don't understand the whole term about the "Neopian Economy"

If they drain all this money, just what exactly IS this going to do for the "Economy"?

If that is a dumb question, my apologies.

But if someone could explain this, that would be awesome (:

[talbs]

*inhales deeply* Yup. Smells like butthurt.


I'm gonna get me that stamp whether I regret it or not by golly.

nah, i just don't take too kindly to these, ya dig?

Reduce inflation. More np into the economy devalues them.

Consider that the price of items have been skyrocketing as relative wealth grows. 10 years ago having 100k-1mil was ultra rich, now it's 100M-1B. This puts more and more items out of reach for the average player because np isn't any easier to earn than they were 10 years ago*.


*Most new np are created magically from games.

hah, i wish 100k-1mil still meant you were rich, those were the days

[fruityone]

I love this event. I didn't know TNT could be so brilliant. So many people are donating I wonder if any of the items would be a god investment

[pabs123]

im gonna wait for a noob to seel the stamp really low

[stellanox]

^ it cost 750k to get a stamp in the first place, no 'noob' will be able to have 750k.

I still remember the days when 100k means you're rich and you can buy a lot of things, those were the days
Nowadays you can't even buy decent stuff with that money

[pabs123]

^i just saw one on the tp for 590k

and actually tons of noobs have 750k because it takes nothing nowadays

[Elindoril]

Am I cool yet?

[Zacharus]

Screw the wheels I feel like donating

[pabs123]

there are SOOOO many np going into this :| i'm amazed at how effective it is only a few hours in... so umm i heard that TNT just made a NEW sink called the "save pabs123", donations are open to everyone starting now

[Zacharus]

If that's cool, I'm even more cool

lol no I photoshopped

[WakaWaka]

Even if I wanted to donate I cant even afford to.
Btw its at 1 billion+ donation now atm.
WOW.
we should do a poll on how high the total would be by the end of this.

Too much is my guess.

[pabs123]

Too much is my guess.

a lot of money is leaving the system but i think the np is so deflated it won't make a difference, i think the donations will slow down, hopefully it works, but we'll see

[Nonygirl]

Stamp worth it? =/ Meh.

I honestly just care about the possibility of an avatar, but have no clue how much you would have to donate to get it. Maybe you just have to donate once for every wheel.

I'll just do that. The background doesn't even move, it isn't worth 2.5 mil.

[Scot]

2 billion np is probably equal to the amount they created in flash games for the past 24 hours but I suppose it's better than nothing

meh at least they're trying right? maybe it'll help in the long run, who knows

[Frank274]

My NP is just wasting away, so I might as well donate it

[devil669988]

Gonna go for the stamp and faerie mazzew. Hope it doesnt loose to much value

[mercy]

I'm gonna do it just in case there's an avatar.

But this is all to save the wheel of excitement right? So I'm assuming there will be a new set of donations required for prizes for the other wheels? This is going to be crazy. And I doubt I'll be able to afford to get the highest prize on every wheel =/

[luvsmyncis]

I'm gonna do it just in case there's an avatar.

If there is an avatar, it'll probably only go to those people who had donated over a certain amount (prolly 1 mill) OR WORSE- you'll have to be on the list of the top donators to actually get it. Part of me is hoping everyone who has donated will get an av, but nothing ever goes my way.

[Kabia]

Does anyone think this will actually make a difference?

@Scot- How are you sure 2bil is what was created in flash games in the past 24 hours?

I'll be happy for them to do it over 1 mil as I'm already at that. Planning on getting all of the prizes for this wheel which will be about 5 or 6 in total I think?

I'm going to start having problems if the other wheels have prizes that require as many donations though =/

I don't want everyone whose donated a tiny amount to get it or practically everyone will have the avatar, and it will be practically a clickable.

[weke]

they should make it animated for such a background
