Prize shop is open finally! Clicky
I got just over 612k points and Warmonger trophy. The Sway won according to the Neoboards, not sure if they can get different prizes or not. I wish there was a breakdown to see what points I got where, like they used to with the plots. Other than that nothing really instantly wows me unfortunately except for the 1pt items since I like key chains. The highest prize only goes up to 275k so I doubt anything will get up to RotL value sadly.
I'm curious as to why the Tyrannian Pb and Relic Pb were priced so much lower than the Shadow Pb.
My sister got more points then I did (613k) and I know I did more fighting than her. I am really curious as to how points were calculated! I hope they add that at some point.
I'm not buying anything until I find out for sure what all the weapons do. I like the look of that battle background. The runes of the obelisk look cool, too, although I don't have any pets that they'd suit.
I got 609,441 points, and am not buying anything until I find out what the weapons do, either. I did all the challengers during their wave, I got a few of the achievements after the associated wave was older, and missed the very first part of the plot where there was digging.
Lia over at Subeta says: I got 635,054 points, but a friend of mine with over 7000 battles got 763,373 points and a better trophy. Sigh, I wish I fought more, but I thought wins over the gold mark didn't count =/
I got 610,824 Points! Much better than I was expecting. I think the Warmonger trophy is pretty ugly, though.
I'm really blown away that the Sway actually won! I thought for sure we'd get a solid third or maybe even fourth. There are "special boons" we get to choose from that sound like they do pretty interesting things. If you're a regular user you get to pick one of five, and if you're Premium you get a couple more options. One of them uses the Fountain Faerie as its image, so of course my heart skipped a beat, but I don't think it's a free quest. Rude, TNT! Looks as though it just gives you the power to switch the item a faerie is asking for? I'm not going to pick anything until I'm sure what they all do. There's also something for the stock market, trading post, regular shops, and bank.
I'm not crazy about much in the prize shop, sadly. The Eau de Mort is really cute so I'll get one of those. Other than that I'll just buy whatever sells the easiest. I do like the Sway site theme. Did each faction get a custom one, plus the basic Tyrannia one?
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.
So what is this "Earthquake" thing that happened before the dig since apparently I completely missed it!
The new Tyrannia does look really nice! It's animated but to a far lesser degree than the other maps and isn't nearly as busy. I think TNT did a really great job on this revamp.

It was the random event that happened before the digging started. As you browsed the site the window would randomly shake and a random event would pop up talking about an earthquake in Tyrannia. So basically the more you were on neopets during it, the more events you would have.
I ended up with 608,468 Points. Kind of wish I knew that going past the 'doing your part' bar would contribute, but oh well. I put the bare minimum effort in for the whole plot. Also, I'd prefer that there were new petpets as prizes rather than existing ones. The whole prize short is a little unexciting, the only two things I really like are the Death & Apathy Keyrings!
I got 610,131 and a Warmonger trophy. I'm pleased about the avatar and Site theme as I was hoping for both!
I'll have a camp-out on the BD boards when I get home from the gym later to see if anybody has tested the weapons yet. I'm slightly annoyed that the prize shop contains a Shadow paint Brush - I forked out 900k for one literally a few days ago. Haha! The Ultimate Battlefield BG and FG look cool and I'll probably pick up the Stamp at some point.
Congrats to all Sway members; is anyone able to post a screenshot of the extra site theme you were rewarded?
Yeah, i gave up on the last wave. Apathy triumphed over my efforts indeed. That's OK. And now to pick what i most want out of the prize lot. I really like the Thieves Hood. It would likely go well with a pet i have in mind if Neo releases a Wraith pet that fits the character i want.
