Question about hissis

Sat Jun 04, 2005 1:50 pm

Warning: this is totally random. I have a slight interest in looking up hissis. I think it is because I happened to create mine 10:11 NCT making it in the first 300-1000 created.

I like to see if there are any that were created as hissis (not lab pets) that beat the age of Serepity. I found one that beat me a couple minutes. But then right now I just discovered one that is 35 days old. Serepity is 31 days old and that was the very first day the hissi was released or so I thought.

Well, couldn't it be a lab pet?

I looked at the owner and saw they had not been on in 35 days. So the pet had to have been created as a hissi. How could that have happened? There are no morphing potions unless I'm wrong.

Did TNT release hissis early to some people?

The pet name is Hissi_fit

I have 2, both created when hissi's were actually released that are 30 days old :o :S :roll:

30 day old hissis aren't unusual. In fact most of them are 30 days now. Mine happens to say it's 31 days because of the time they released the news.

In my time zone my hissi should be 30 days old, but being based on Pacific time, it says its 31 days old because the clock hadn't rolled over to the next day yet.

But the maximun age should be 31 days considering that was when they officially released the news and the hissis some time around 10:10 NCT.


This one that is 35 days old had to have been created 4 days before they were officially released.

The ones you see that are much older say 200 days happen to be lab pets. I've seen a few of those.

The stats on this pet fall within the range of a typical hissi, and that the owner has been absent rule out that possibility.

There is also a possibility that it was created by a TNT member on a side account (and the account doesn't have any marking that it was a TNT account)

Maybe they were released early for Premium Users

Could be possible, but then I would have expected to hear an uproar somewhere. The only way we would know for sure is if a premium member could shed light on this.
BTW here are serepity's stats. You can thank the high level to the C. Shrine. Original stats I think were quite strong and average for most except poor for defense. Maybe she was semi fast on movement but I cannot remember.

Age : 31 days old (753 hours)
Level : 11
Gender : Female
Height : 42 cms.
Weight : 66 lbs.
Hit Points : 11 / 11
Strength : very strong
Defence : average
Movement : breakneck
Intelligence : average

Maybe someone on another account was zapping his/her pet, it turned into a hissi, and then it got abandoned, and that user picked it up?

Couldn't it just be a lab pet? I mean... why go into conspiracy theories?

Last I heard, the "last seen" date actually refers to the last time the user logged on. So if this is one of those people who doesn't always log off Neo, he/she could have been on many times within that span, and it wouldn't show.

So it could indeed be a lab, based on that.

It's the name that makes the lab ray seem unlikely.

yeah...it does...but, maybe they created the lab pet and was going to zap it untill it turned into a hissi..

i was last seen several months ago as it happens.

The owner doesn't look like someone who has the lab...
The only other thing I could think of is someone from TNT creating one earlier, and then putting it in the pound.

Or it could be a side account to someone who does have the lab...

Probably just a lab pet - I know that some people got a bori from the lab quite some time before they were released :)

As for mine, when I first started creating him only 11 had been made and I didn't look straight after I'd finished creating so I'm not sure where he was exactly...but I did look a minute after and there were 40 something of them then so I guess mine was somewhere in between. The first 50 took ages to go as hardly anyone had realised they were out - I just happened to be on and checking exactly at that time, heh.

Not that it really matter though I think o_O

Actually, that changed.
If that was true, I would be last seen 6 months ago.
