1) Does it seem like the TNT abandoned the idea of Lutari island, or are they just waiting for the Lutari Birthday?....
2) I'm just wondering how long they can stay 'child friendly' with now being able to log in with FB =/

1) It's like they're ignoring it, but they have a plan for it. It used to be for their failed mobile service. I'm sure if they were just going to trash it, they would have just erased it from the site and never mentioned it again. Remember, they still have the talisman, the Lutari pets, and all that stuff. Would be too much of a headache for them.

2) Neo can still have child-oriented things with the FB log-in. Remember, you have to be at least 13 to have a FB account you can control on your own. (the wonders of COPA) You still can't talk about your FB profiles and such on the site, so there's a decent separation

1) One thing. I don't know why, it doesn't even matter how hard you try--keep that in mind.

1) I would say they probably have something else planned for it. Heck, they added it as a place to have a Neohome 2.0 as well. Maybe another mobile service is coming in the near future?
2) Bleh. Haha

Just because it exists doesn't mean it is going to be built upon. Look at jelly world. I have a feeling that project has been abandoned.

Everything has facebook connectivity these days, and the fact that you can't actually talk about facebook on the site seems to suggest that it will stay as it is.

Good point... but one can hope. XD

The Talismans and Lutari-themed pets actually have some sort of function though.. that map really doesn't.

I don't understand how you are making a connection between facebook and not being child friendly. Don't little kids have facebooks now?

TNT still doesn't have a use for Agility in the Battledome.

Making big bucks.
and continually denying that UC pets will give any revenue.

They forget that many of the people with UCs are those who have the ability to pay whenever and whatever they want.

TNT made Neopets Mobile when hardly anyone in their target audience had phones, or ones that supported NM. Then they got rid of it almost the second smartphones and apps became extremely popular, and now you see everyone from 5 year olds to grannies with their iPhones and Androids and what not. Nice move there guys!!!! If they had just taken the small amount of time to update it and then throw it at iOS and Android and charged users, say, $5/month they could be raking in the cash Plus, the inflation for some of the rarer Lutari Isle items wouldn't exist (also the Coco Roller avatar.......), and TNT is trying to do things to make inflated items go down.

The very idea behind facebook is not something your average kid gets into. That and, if facebook intergration gets any worse the staff lose the ability to police every little thing on their website.

I don't see it happening. But these are reasons why it is plausible.

I mentioned the FB thing because smart hackers can likely make their statuses somehow appear on neopets XD

You can log into Neo via FB now? When did this happen? It's been a while since I was properly active.
