In Topic: Is the database updated?

14 July 2019 - 09:38 PM

If I could fix the issues with those kinds of items, I would. For now, it's as updated as it can be since it checks for prices in the background. Sadly, our prices are not the lowest an item will sell for, and it seems the pricing mechanism may be confused by outlier pricers, so sometimes you'll get items that aren't worth anything but are in the database as having profit. 

 

I've noticed this a lot. Items being bought that sell for a lot less than what the DB estimates.

Looking at an item like the Aggressive Casserole—the estimated price is nowhere near what it actually sells for.

 

I'm ending up buying a lot of stuff that's making a loss! Any tips to work around this?


In Topic: Do you still play?

I used to play when it first came out, but it got kind of boring after a while.

 

I was planning on picking it up again when Pokemon Sword/Shield came out, anticipating there would be the ability to transfer Go catches into the game.

 

But seeing as Sword/Shield won't have the National Dex, this feature won't exist... It's a shame, I'm sure I'm not the only one who would have picked up Go again for that reason.


In Topic: Why do you still play?

Having recently become a stay-at-home mum to a youngling, I don't really have much time to sit down and play more involved games these days.

 

So with that and the nostalgia factor... it's a hobby that I can easily pick up and put down.


In Topic: Turning Neopets' fate round, how would you do it?

13 July 2019 - 04:16 PM

Do like Jagex and offer an Old School Neopets version of the site; reverting back to when there was no NC and there was no "conversion" of pets.

 

Obviously they would still have to do something about all the Flash-based content, perhaps convert all the Flash games into HTML5.

All the world maps could use the old JPGs, until they could upgrade those to HTML5 as well.

 

Then any major changes to the game save for new content should be voted in by user polls.

 

Ideally the site should also be responsive and work on any screen size and device as well, but at the very least they would need a mobile app.

 

Also, revamp their terrible customer service...

 

Bringing the Battledome back into site events would be great too.

I don't like coffee.

Haven't had a cup for years. It makes me jittery and gives me dry eyes.

 

Me too!... gives me a horrible headache.

Used to be able to drink it, now it makes me feel like I'm hungover.
