    The "wheel event" has apparently begun

    The Wheel of Knowledge

    Oh dear! The Wheel of Knowledge appears to be broken... and yet, it seems that someone is hard at work repairing it. What could be happening?

    [​IMG]

    Not sure yet what needs to be done ....
    See what JN has to say about it here
    http://www.jellyneo.net/index.php

    K so now that the news has come out....

    SAVE THE WHEELS! That is right. You may have noticed that the Wheel of Knowledge has been down for a while. This is because I... I mean my organization, Neopian Conservation Society, had enough money to save the wheel and update it. However the other wheels around Neopia are in need of help too! Could you please help by donating to the cause?

    Eh???
    http://www.neopets.com/savethewheels/

    Really?? So I donated 5K NP (why I don't know) and I got some lame newsletter item...anyone wanna attempt donating more?
    KK here is a list of potential 'prizes' so far
    [​IMG] Conservancy Newsletter 1000-5000 NP

    [​IMG] Wheel Shield 1,000,000 NP

    Not telling because you'll just be jealous psshh..
    New plot, much? xD

    I think it'll be a bit like the Altador Plot, but I'll be wrong.

    Man, I really hope it's not just another tarla-esque event.

    I hope its a new plot. I've been waiting for a good one this summer. But it looks like there's nothing we can do at the moment. So... more waiting.

    As always. I think everyone's go their fingers crossed for plot, too. I can't imagine anyone who would prefer the afore mentioned tarla-esque event.

    I just donated a grand total of 3 mil; I'm stupid, yes.

    Donate 2.5 mil to get a background --- hahahaha.

    This almost seems like a convenient way for TNT to remove neopoints from the economy...

    There's a lot of chatter on other boards (and on Neo boards) that this is the beginning of a war

    From this week's BTY comp:

    Oh, hello. You must be part of the Meridell embassy sent to make the new treaty arrangements. Why don't you take a little break and play this enchanting new game? I think you'll find it quite captivating


    This week's BTY game is based on Meridell/Darigan...

    Meridell and Darigan are at it again, only this time they're not battling it out with swords and giant Turtums -- they're using magic!

    On the revamped Wheel...

    The Wheel of Knowledge has been saved, but I'm—I mean, the Neopian Conservation Society is nearly broke.


    Let the conspiracy theories begin :)

    IKR!!
    It is insane that it is over 1 billion NP - at this rate there will be no NP left in neopia

    I'm embarrassed to say that I donated enough for the stamp and the BG....but now I'm cut off lol

    i'll probably end up doing the same...maybe the mazzew too (it looks so cute D: )

    do you have a list of the item names so I can see how much they're currently worth (or are they untradeable?)

    I`ve listed all the names next to their pictures :) - there are some in the trades - some stuff is going for less, but I imagine that if you sit on it for long enough (like the stamp and BG) it will inflate

    Looks to me like a np sink. It would be great to get the np back, but sounds like a rumor, perhaps to trick people into donating more than they would otherwise. I don't see it as a plot, more like a short tara-esque site event aimed to upgrade the wheels, nothing more. I'd like to be proven wrong though.

    Rich people with dispensible income will want to be in the top benefactors list. They pour in a lot of nps in the process, and with the amount of nps being donated, helps to somewhat equalize the economy. Everybody comes out with less nps. The people who can barely afford the bg will donate just enough, and will not bother to donate more because they know that they can't make the list. Which is what I should have done, instead of donating a total of 7 mil :(

    WHYY OH WHYY AM I BEING SUCKED INTO THIS

    I still dont really know what to think about this either.
    Still sitting on my low amount of Nps lol.
    It deff. seems like a BAD idea to donate as much as u have to, too end up with a b/g..., stamps seems better but still not good enough lol.

    *gets comfy on the fence*
