@dionaea - never visited Neopets 😱 - i really don't care, but it's fun to have an opinion while you're still allowed in the USA anyways lol

Today is Pearl Harbor Rememberance Day. My grandfather was @ Pearl Harbor

The reason that Tines' rarity is lower than other CCs is because Tines were originally LEs.

anori • 7 Dec 2011, 5:11 AM

French finals are today wish me luck 😊 I hope that when I come back I will see those nice Christmas eggs out πŸ˜ƒ

peppermintcowboy • 7 Dec 2011, 5:14 AM

@dionaea - Absolute numbers would be a lot more helpful than this, I think. 😊 @novrain - Infinite Italian vacations? Count me in! ^.^

Good Morning guys.

Does anyone know if the Goldentree Meadows travel is retired? I haven't seen it for ages in the TA...

peppermintcowboy • 7 Dec 2011, 10:00 AM

@alraune3 - I bought some a few days ago. 😊 And if they were retired, I'm sure there would be a blog post. And much weeping. πŸ˜‰

leopardclaws • 7 Dec 2011, 10:08 AM

The lowest I have is the Raicorn at, 16 weighted rarity.

sprite • 7 Dec 2011, 10:09 AM

I bought a Goldentree Meadows travel yesterday and saw them again in the afternoon in the TA 😊

leopardclaws • 7 Dec 2011, 10:10 AM

For everyone who thinks absoloute numbers would be better think of it like this, for the raicorn the rarity is 16/500, if you make that into

leopardclaws • 7 Dec 2011, 10:11 AM

a percentage out of how many users there are in EC, you have a roughly correct answer. At least, I think, Ian and mods feel free to correct.

alraune3 • 7 Dec 2011, 10:27 AM

O.k, thank you all. I'm glad to read this. 😸

yogurt • 7 Dec 2011, 10:32 AM

@leopardclaws oh wow I just figured out a way to know how many of each creatures is alive. D: Wow.. lol

sophia123 • 7 Dec 2011, 10:49 AM

@leopardclaws but the number of users changes every time!should the "Weighted Rarity" do that too, or what do you mean?

turkishdelight • 7 Dec 2011, 11:23 AM

I want new cave eggs now! 😸

ginna3525 • 7 Dec 2011, 12:27 PM

good afternoon egg cave

leopardclaws • 7 Dec 2011, 12:34 PM

@sophia23 That's why it's rough, everyday users sign up, and everyday users quit.

leopardclaws • 7 Dec 2011, 12:34 PM

So it never changes because it's not exact. At least, that makes sense to me, maybe I'm just insane.

leopardclaws • 7 Dec 2011, 12:42 PM

lol I am the most recent poster in all the forums.

leopardclaws • 7 Dec 2011, 12:46 PM

I think I am the only one online... no one has posted on the forums besides we for a while! I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO LONELY! @ping

leopardclaws • 7 Dec 2011, 12:49 PM

whitefall • 7 Dec 2011, 2:01 PM

It doesn't really change anything, just sets the rarity of eggs into place a bit more. Popularity+Rarity=Worth πŸ˜‰

peppermintcowboy • 7 Dec 2011, 2:42 PM

I really want a Prath - the new Christmas pet that was revealed on EggCavern! I'll definitely freeze one in the first stage! πŸ˜ƒ

syndrome • 7 Dec 2011, 6:00 PM

I remember that O.O

blackrose_chan • 7 Dec 2011, 6:04 PM

@pirateseaz the fast blog? 😱 ever since forums came to exist it just... died ):

rabbitwanter • 7 Dec 2011, 6:10 PM

i liek this new rating thingeh :'D unhemn...158 xD ish that bad? bellato... 11😊can they ever change? and dont freezes or stages affect it?

icymuffin • 7 Dec 2011, 6:12 PM

@blackrose_chan~ I remember that! It was so fast sometimes that you couldn't even stay on a single topic for a few minutes xD

blackrose_chan • 7 Dec 2011, 6:13 PM

@rabbitwanter 158 is bad cause it is high meaning there are a ton of that species. The # will change depending on how many are left.

blackrose_chan • 7 Dec 2011, 6:14 PM

@icymuffin yeah xD I would always stay away from the blog cause it scared me. However it was so much fun and never dull.

nanami • 7 Dec 2011, 7:14 PM
