    Last night, there were Baby Paintbrushes going for 25k.
    It seems someone learned how to duplicate items and they were selling them for good prices.
    Everyone who bought a duped item was iced last night.
    The Battledome boards were chaos.
    Go onto them right now and there is bound to be at least one topics about the dupes.
    Does anyone know anymore about this?

    Five well-known people from the BDC were frozen.
    I hear they were being sold by a 1 month newbie and he was selling things like Thyora's Tear's, Sword of Skarsden, Ramtor's Spellbook so I would have been a little weary before buying.

    I'm so glad I wasn't on last night. You would think that this 'well known' people would know not to be stupid enough to buy items like that from new players. I mean, we've seen it happen so many times before... It is unfair though. Just another one of TNT's amazing solutions.

    "What? There's a problem? Let's just freeze as many people as we can."
    "You know what? That's a great idea!"

    Yeah.. Sure is.. Pfft

    I saw one of the guys saying he called tnt up and he was premium and said he was getting his account back. not sure if he bought a duped item though. Should be careful about buying from newbie accounts who have items that are selling for cheap for now

    My younger brother has a friend, who's older brother can generate neopoints. I dunno what he does but apparently it takes him like 2 hours, i saw him generate 150million neopoints (well saw the result). Only problem is that if you start spending too much TNT starts wondering where you got all the np from and freezes you.

    It didnt even take getting frozen for me. I just got sick of the way neo treats newbies so much better than dedicated longtime players.

    And if someone could dupe items they could probably generate np too. I assume that they find some way of screwing with the databases. Maybe they are getting php in through an image or something?

    Yeah i saw the 150mill, but he gotta out of nowhere. Maybe its possible, if you can dupe items. The guy mentioned if you spend too many np you get frozen pretty fast (it was young account). Too bad my brother isnt friends with him anymore otherwise i'd try and get a hold of him.

    Yeah I saw a purple paint brush going for 200 nps. I tried to tell the girl that wants it so bad that it's a duped item but she won't believe me, ugh what a nublet.

    Well my brother has him on msn, except he knew him in grade 8 and now is in grade 9 so they went to different high schools. The kids older brother works now to (i think he's outta uni) so this might be hard but i might as well try, i'll see what happens. It takes a while too apparently he doesn't like doing it (who likes doing things for their younger bros anyways lol)
