Obviously, most people aren't agreeing with that, or there wouldn't be this level of disappointment expressed, eh?

Personally, I was really looking forward to them. I'm hoping this means that they're coming sooner than the things on that list, but I'm not holding my breath. Maybe, at least, there'll be enough of an outcry that they'll realize that people *do* want this on the site and they'll get on it.

Most people just think new=good.

I think TNT has realised that they "bit off more than they can chew" and decided to either stop or postpone the creation of Neoschools.

They try to handle too much at one time and I hope that they realise that they should take things slower and one at a time.

Again, I, at least, was hoping it would be a form of involved puzzle game which taught your pet things, or that you'd have to figure out a puzzle to get clues as to which school item you needed to do something in the school. Or maybe you could use different school items to get hints in the puzzle you're working on. Something like that. And I know that's the sort of activity I'd enjoy, so that's why I was looking forward to it. (And aside from that, I stockpiled some school items that I'd restocked in September, and I'd like to see them go up in value.)

Besides, if they did it as a puzzle game like that, they could market it as being educational/promoting school, and the parents would love it... and making parents happy is always a good marketing move.

I think that's the case. It's been what? Five months since they released the page about classes your pets could take in the Neoschools? There might have been some major glitches they need to sort out. Who knows? Maybe they are releasing them soon but don't want to announce it, getting peoples' hopes up, just to crush 'em. I guess we'll just have to wait.

I only have ONE back-to-school item. I'm hoping that it'll be useful...someday.

this latest episode just illustrates a side of TNT :roll:

everything's going professional except their resource management/planning. the neoschool has been in the plans for years and yet now they could now abandoning it. wonder if they have any done any pre-planning b4 making an announcement. this whole incident just smacks of amateurism or irresponsibility. i hope they make me eat my words by introducing neoschool next week :twisted:

Gr. I really hope that they don't postpone neoschools for like, another year or something. I was really looking foreward to it. *sigh* That's TNT for you, though!
I agree with Optimus though. TNT try to establish so many things at a time... I think that that's our fault though. We expect all these things... and when we don't get new stuff, we complain.. :lol:

Hey now, I take great pride in venting. What would I be doing if not complaining? Enjoying myself? Please. I can get that anywhere.

*blinks* Where was I? Ah yes... Um. I wasted a lot of np stocking Neoschool items. I sold most of it at a loss, but considered the original purchase a sunk cost anyhow. I kept the pirate notebook. I restocked that one directly, and am happy with my little retired neoschool knickknack. That continues to serve no purpose.

Quickly, send a bunch of questions to the editorial to get donna to answer what happpened to neoschool!! Then tell everyone on the neoboards and they'll send questions too then she'll HAVE to answer them!!

If they really canceled neoschools they better just turn all of the nice neoschool items into map pieces and we'll forget all about neoschool.....

If they had any business sense whatsoever, Adam would at the very least post some sort of message.
