    So July 21st TNT finally released some information about what is going on with Krawk Island. I will outline the steps of the first segment of the event (I don't know if it is worthy of the plot title yet).

    Step 1: Click on KI on the map (http://www.neopets.com/explore.phtml) and you will see this message:
    [​IMG]

    Step 2: Click the learn more button:
    [​IMG]

    Step 3: You will be brought to a map with grid lines on it, you get 5 grid searches per day to find KI
    [​IMG]

    Step 4: You will be able to get a few different messages (you didn't find anything, you found an island but not KI, you found KI)

    Step 5: After you pick the five spots on the map you want to check your grid map will look something like this:
    [​IMG]

    Step 6: Once you go back to the main map you will see that there is a green check mark where you've already checked. Repeat step 4 another four times.
    [​IMG]

    Step 7: Go back to the shanty:

    That's all we can do so far. Will update when more steps are added

    As a side note, one of the prizes from the grid search is an NC item that requires you to spend 125 NC on a key to open the treasure chest. The prize is a handheld net of pirate petpets for the first chest you open, there apparently are at least 8 chest prizes available (prizes in spoiler showing in the order they can be redeemed)

    WHAT IS GOING ON WITH KRAWK ISLAND?! First it's surrounded by tentacles, then it disappears, then it reappears and is surrounded with tentacles again. So, I repeat, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH KRAWK ISLAND??!!! ~azienskieth
    Pay no attention to whatever you think you saw that might have gone up a bit too early and has now reverted back to what it's supposed to be until such time as it may or may not change back to the thing you weren't supposed to see.

    from the editorial :p

    As long as you can list your birthday and original email, you'll be fine.

    As for the disappearing island, sounds like it was a bit of a glitch. Would have been cool if some giant squid pulled the island under, but that didn't happen.

    Prince my account was frozen for the same reason also :O Also a lot of friends of mines also...we all have nice accounts and were legit on them so maybe something specific triggered a protection freeze. Me and like 3 people I know emptied out our entire gallery to fix it up and we had lots of items so maybe that was suspicious to them?

    Krawk Island has disappeared and this has taken its place for any particular link for Krawk Island:
    http://w ww.neopets.com/pirates/disappearance/inside-shanty.phtml

    Looks likes a...mini plot is happening? More the point and clickey stuff compared to the battledome stuff. We shall see. Looks lame.

    I've added all the steps for the first part so far

    I agree with Commy that it seems pretty lame thus far

    I didn't get anything good
    But I just updated the NC prizes available
    Apparently there are at least 8 chest prizes that you can get, but you have to open the chests in consecutive order (ie: you can't get prize five if you haven't opened four chests prior)

    I want the pirate dress and the marooned BG

    Edit:

    The grid lines in the map show 40 plot points for us to explore - 40 plot points, 5 plots per day = 8 days of this part of the 'event'
