"The Battledome Is Closed

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we've had to permanently shut down the Battledome and its associated activities. Obviously, this is not something we wanted to do, and as much as we'd like to fully explain, we aren't allowed to comment at this time. We'll just leave it at that for now.

We know there are many, many Neopians who have worked very, very hard and spent countless Neopoints to train their Neopets for the Battledome. We would like to thank you for participating in past wars and events, and for keeping Neopia safe via Defenders of Neopia. Please know that we haven't forgotten you. We are currently working on new activities that will put these stats to use. Your efforts will NOT be wasted.

We have also been ordered to remove certain Battledome weapons from the site. We realise there are many Neopoints invested there, as well, so instead of simply deleting them from everyone's account, we're putting together a Battledome weapon exchange program. We're still working out the details, but we hope to allow everyone to trade in their weapons for another item of equal or lesser rarity. We will have this ready by Wednesday to comply with the agreement.

We're sorry for the short notice, and for not having alternatives ready for you now, but it was unavoidable. We're working as fast as we can and we think the new stuff will be quite cool. We hope to have everything else up by mid October!

It was amusing, though I know I'm not the only one who doesn't do a whole lot when it comes to the BD... it didn't really give off that "Wer'e DOOMED! gonk " feeling to me. sweatdrop  

[Phoenixliv]

I was amused but it didn't scare people like last year's prank did sweatdrop  

[Janviarius]

Gah, I didn't like this year's prank. I found it boring......not enough of a spaz attack for me. stare xd  

[Laaii]

Meh, it was lame. Not enough shock.  

[Tallyburger]

It was ok, but I mean, how many people out there LIVE for the battledome?
Not many
TNT could of chosen a better prank, one that could of had a bigger affect on a bigger population, and not just those who spend all threre time oin the battledome

Though, to all those people who do live for it, I felt bad for them XD
