Medieval Madness

by arandawingsiong

NEOPIA CENTRAL - A few weeks ago, the Neopoll in Neopets asked a very suspicious question. It asked anyone who was viewing the page which world would they prefer to have, Underground, Future, Jelly World or Medieval. I voted for medieval. Pictures of cute little Neopets wearing heavy, metallic armours ran through the heads of most Neopians. Everything turned out the way I expected and hoped. Medieval World was winning by a long shot... well, so far. Now rumours - or pranks for some people - came out, saying there is going to be a new world. Since the Neopets staff posted a poll about another world, everyone became suspicious. Almost every Neopian citizen is looking for the so called New World.

Plenty of ways to discovering a link to the Medieval World have been tried by everyone. Some tried going to the search box on the left selection box. For the first try its quite obvious 90% of all Neopia would start with the key word "medieval" I thought. I myself, gave it a whirl though, three results came out:

- NeoPet : Medieval the Jetsam
- User : medieval
- Item : Medieval Pteri

That first attempt was unsuccessful. Some thought maybe they would name the URL after the world (like the Hidden Tower), so they tried http://www.neopets.com/medieval. If you tried it already you would know exactly how I felt when I placed this idea to the test. If you haven't, probably all those who experimented with this hypothesis had the same results. Those who were just bored and decided to look for a new world to pass the time didn't pay much attention to what happened next. Those who have been looking for it for days and never gave up, were as frustrated as me and my friends were.

I (and those who were eager to find a new world) let it continue to load. I savoured every moment of that minute. I held my breath and crossed my finger. The first words I saw almost made me scream (not what you might be expecting though). The whole page was blank, except for the four simple words on the very top of the page. I thought I would go crazy, slam my fist against the computer and yell, "You little...!!! " at the top of my lungs. It was because the words were short enough, but were horrible. It said: umm... looking for something? I blurted out "Yeah! Just a New World I've been looking for about six days and four hours ago!!!" Well, that wasn't exactly a very good guess.

Also, there are some who gave up and are now saying there isn't a new world. They say it is only a scam or a trick to getting more NP. Some are taking advantage of this rumour. The "Sticky Fingered" or so I like to call them for their work. They say they know where the Medieval World is located and would tell you for 96,000 NP or even more. Do not! I say DO NOT LISTEN TO THEM!!! A few people fell for this scam, they gave their NP and rare items. When they Neomailed the user asking for the URL of the new world, they never responded.

Because of this, more and more people are thinking that there is no such world. But there are too many proofs that say a new world is coming. I repeat, is coming:

- If there isn't a new world, where are the Draiks coming from? The Lost Desert?

- A new Neopet appears before a new world is discovered

- What was the Neopoll for if they're not going to use the votes for something

- There is an extra space in the Neopia Map

- Why is there a message "umm...looking for something" in the URL
http://www.neopets.com/medieval, as if they expected everyone to try that trick

- If there wasn't a page like above in Neopets, shouldn't they redirect the user to the 404 error page?

- Raw potatoes are labeled medieval food if you look at it in your items

- Draik = Dragon = Medieval

- On the Art Gallery page you'll see Medieval Neopets as one of the specials

Now some people are starting a rumour that it is coming in two months. Now there are lots of topics in the chat boards with either the words "Medieval" or "New World". Why don't you join the big hunt for clues on where it will first appear?
