To be fair, the average user can't earn 100M+ NPs to buy a single stamp and by the time they do, the stamp would have already jumped up to 150 or 200M. I sincerely prefer everyone having it for a limited time instead of just a handful of botters getting bank over inflated album items.
But I 100% agree with the server stuff, makes it utterly unplayable when anything interesting happens in the site.

The average user isn’t supposed to get stamps like that though. They are rare and prestigious for a reason. I’m a firm believer that not everybody should get everything, just because they want it and don’t think it’s fair that other people have it. If you don’t have anything to work for and strive for, then what’s the point of anything holding any value? Just my two cents

Grateful I had a productive day of playing Sakhmet Solitaire in class today and was able to grab the goodie bags (thanks @(you need an account to see links) for reminding me!) and avatar. It seems to be down again now.
"scheduled" maintenance? Was this really a thing I feel like I didn't hear about it.
❤ thank you to hearts for my pumpkin, Lyrichord for my userbar, and Great White North for my snail ryu!
Of course... the one evening where I don't have to fight my son to play on the computer and Neopets is either lagging hard or down

Yup, I second this. I don't think any item should be billions of NP, but with how easy it is to make NP nowadays I don't think 50-100m is too unrealistic for things like rare stamps.
I also don't mind them giving away rare items as plot prizes. I just want them to make players actually work for it. But rewarding users with 300m items just for grooming and feeding their pets is a bit silly to me. It's exciting now, but give it a few weeks and people won't care for the rewards anymore and lose motivation to play actively.
Besides that, it is interesting they keep adding new things instead of, I dunno, convert all old pages to the new layout first and address the countless UX nightmares they currently have.

As much as I dislike old rare things being rereleased, I’m more okay with them being given out as top prizes for things that take effort. More than just the point and click, or donate your junk and get out hundreds of millions of NPs. Eventually they will release things so often that nothing really holds value and everything is junk. Back in the day things were nowhere near as expensive but you also didn’t have a ton of people maxing out their bank accounts. 100m was A LOT back in the day. NPs used to sell for $15/m, probably even higher but that’s as high as I ever remember it personally. Now a days you can scoop 20-30m for $15. Items being 50-100m don’t need to be deflated but that decision is out of our hands haha. Or maybe the chances of getting a high end item are like .5%. You do the daily event for a year and you’re guaranteed to get a big value item at least one time rather than everyone getting it right away.
