    I believe Neopets made a statement that it was put off indefinitely, they refused to provide a reason for it though.

    Yeah, it has been delayed indefinitely. They didn't give a reason, but merely said it was for "reasons that cannot be discussed." Very lame. I was excited for it.

    Same here.

    I just wish I knew why it was though. Maybe I wouldn't be so upset then.

    i think it was because tnt couldnt find a way to make it work. the main neoschool page mentions "exams", but it would obviously be the account owner who did the questions, not the pets themselves.. so it would be unfair as there are players of all ages.

    lol. a LOT of people lie about their age during registration.

    and those older ones could create young accounts, thus getting prizes unfairly :eek:
    theres really no way to tell a person's age for sure, i think thats the main difficulty in implementing this

    neoschool items are far too expensive to be used for packrat :p

    wonder where the items go though? do faeries ask for them? i cant remember any faerie asking for a neoschool item.. except for space faerie..
    but all those neoschool stuff stocking in main shops HAS to go somewhere....

    I really wish they'd reconsider and release the neoschools. Making age specific exams would surely be ok as I didn't think there were going to be prizes available anyway. I thought it was just going to be trophies in which case, they could specify what age group you had taken the exams in anyway.

    I really think it would be great for the site and I can't see why they made such a fuss about it, building it up, only to suddenly change their minds. I mean, it must have been discussed for quite some time before the idea was announced. What could have changed to make it suddenly unworkable and why can't they discuss it?

    Neoschool is a prank by TNT. They've been "working" on neoschool since 2001, and it is now 2007.

    Really? I think that's about when I stopped playing the first time, and I don't remember hearing about it. I think it was more 2002ish.

    That entire shop as an entitiy is wholly useless. It's just a front for TNT to take Neopoints out of the economy.
