Error! This is not a flash game!

Wed Sep 01, 2004 8:02 pm

Yes it is - it's mutant graveyard of doom. What's up with that, yo? Load my game!

Games are having problems lately. Can't send scores, and some don't load. Find something else to do for a little while.


EDIT: Annnnnnnddddd...it's fixed.

No...it's not in the game graveyard...still well and alive...well, Albert ain't well, and the beast is undead, but you get the point :P

I just figured out the game and got the avatar now it's gone and replaced with another petpet game

I wish they would have left it on for a couple of months I almost got the trophy last night but got a stupid glitch and said my score could not be sent.

Did anyone get the avatar, or trophy?

I got the Doomed avatar with a score of 1003 last Sunday while I could.

I guessing the reason the game was taken down was lots of people were making a easy 3000 Neopoints a day from the game.

I think what monroxe meant to say is that TNT are going to put the game in the Game Graveyard.

But like datrulegend said already it isn't in Game Graveyard at the moment. So is not in the Game Graveyard yet.

On side note I am wondering if the Doomed avatar topic in General Chat should be locked now that there is no way to get the Doomed avatar?

I'm more than a little peeved that they'd move it into the graveyard just after releasing an avatar for it.

And it can't have been because of the payout for the game - lots of people make 3k a day on a lot of games, and they aren't retired very often.

I think it may just be a glitch - perhaps they accidentally gave the game ID to another, newer, game.

Anyways, if they didn't want people to get 1000 NP each game, they should have lowered the score:NP ratio. Then it would be harder to get a thousand NP and we'd still have the game.

Maybe they will bring it back up on Muntant Day only for the AV. I'm sad it's gone. :(

I have a feeling it was the abuse of the Tab-Spacebar trick- it was a hidden skip levels function, so you could scan through all the levels and if you found something worth 500 points, it would be an instant 1000 NP.

My friend made a post about the avatar being retired, and snarkie actually came in and posted that the avatar won't be retired.

The game will be deactivated in all languages soon. But even the, the avatar will not be retired.

I don't really understand how that would be possible, but snarkie's a neopets programmer so I guess she would know. o_O

I can't get the av on a diferent account...

Thu Sep 02, 2004 2:31 am

There's just another way to get it is all. And it's much easier. But it's all we could do with the game being deactivated.
