Has any one else been getting more random events than usual?

    Maybe it's just me but I feel like I'm getting more random events than usual lately. Is it something to do with my account age? It's now 70+ months... or maybe because I'm more active lately?

    Before I used to get no random events even though I surfed the site as much as I do now.. maybe they made them more common?

    I seriously must be attracting petpet lab maps or something because they just keep showing up as random events.

    I've been getting about two or three faerie quests a day - compared to the one or two I would get a month before - my account is only 25 months

    Clumsy, would you happen to know if you started doing anything special?

    Or surfing in some specific part of Neo?

    I want that :(

    I've been getting quests a lot lately too. I play a lot of solitaire and pyramids, so that might be it. I got one when I was playing bilge dice also.. maybe it's just because they're games that involve a lot of refreshing, though.

    I just remembered that I signed up for the Neo Premium trial - so maybe that is the reason?!

    LOL I totally forgot that I got it because I only got it for the Neomail Addict av - and then I canceled it right away but you have to keep it for the full length of the trial :/

    They are called random events for a reason. They are random. One day I got like 6 faerie quests in one day and a SLM piece. Just take in your luck while it lasts because you could never get another random event ever! They are random!

    Not me. Though I did get a red paint brush in a random event recently. Too bad it wasnt more expensive!

    Yes they are indeed random, but you can control them to an extent. Beaded Lutari Talismans for one, have been STRONGLY speculated to add to the rate of random events for users.

    I do get more RE than usual, but I think that's because I put a Green Ranaka Bead on my Lutari Talisman..

    Based on what friends have told me they aren't worth the price. Is this true? Or are they really worth it?

    I got a Cy TP and a few maps (lab, petpet, treasure) within a week.
    So I think its really worth it!
    But remember, only green beads can increase your random events x)
    Other beads are not worth the price

    I've definitely noticed more REs. Not useless ones (the fake dream or a pteri flies overhead or whatever) but not great either (draik TP, etc). Mostly just codestones, faerie quests, petpet lab maps. I have been working on sewage surfer and IOM avatars though so that probably has to do with it (loads the page a lot). I remember when that was like my only source of income, REs. :p
