We are seeking models for the items! If you would like to model, check out our Model For SunnyNeo page. These items can be tried on using our Dressing Room.
You're totally going to miss me. I know you will.
It appears that this time you only have the option of siding with either: The Seekers, the Thieves Guild, or the Order of the Red Erisim. Go to the Battleground of the Obelisk for more information on the factions, and watch their videos again. There is now a timer that lasts another 72 hours, and war will again break out once this timer goes down.
You've chosen sides, and that has consequences. It looks like a lot of Neopets are interested in fighting you soon, so you might want to get in some last minute training. |
Make sure your pets are all still well trained and your Battledome items are ready to use!
While you wait, why not get yourself some Plot Graphics?
Sorry!

Maintenance Notice - Greetings from the Space Station! Our Maintenance Myncies had to call in some super special Database Grundos to help them work on the site. Since Grundos are quite efficient, they wanted to give you extra time to prepare! Tomorrow night (Wednesday, April 17th) starting at 11 PM NST, Neopets.com will be down for about two hours. Once the Grundos are done with their work (around 1 AM NST on Thursday) they will put the site back up, good as new! (The best part about Grundos is that there will be no banana peels to slip on afterwards. Hooray!) |
These lookups are also extra special. You can add your baby pet's own image as shown in the previews. Instructions on adding your own baby pet can be seen when you preview the pet lookup (or just click the images above).
I wook so pwetty now!

If you'd like to try some of these items on, models for all species for the new superpack can be found in our dressing room! We do need some models for the Enchanted Tale Mirror. If you own it, please model it for us.
Many items are also retiring at 12:00am NST tomorrow (April 14th). This is your last chance to get Negg Punchers and the LE Shoyru Key Quest Tokens before they retire. Our NC Mall Retiring Items Guide has a full list of which items will be retiring soon.
These graphics, and more Spring-filled fun, can be found on our Spring Graphics Page.
Mmmm... these daises smell delightful!
It seems you guys have found some very entertaining ways to keep yourselves occupied while awaiting the war results and prize shop! It seems one player (erm, we mean the Thieves Guild) has taken it upon themselves to provide their own prizes! PS: For those hoping for a real update, the prize shop will be open soon. Not Soon(TM), but actually soon. http://www.neopets.com/~Nihso |
A more extensive update can be found at the Neopian Times Editorial.
Hi, TNT! *throws Neggs* So, the Obelisk War was about... three weeks ago, I think? Are those Tyrannians still having trouble counting up the points, or are things just pretty hectic around the office with the Festival of Neggs and other site events around Neopia? I'm just anxious to find out the results; this has to be one of my favorite site events by far! ~jackjack1234 Nothing's interrupting our efforts! We're just still running the numbers. We had the faction winner figured out in the first day or two, and we're just as anxious to get the results out as you are! It's the individual points that take a while to get right. To give you a bit of context, it works something like this: We check on the massive amount of fight data we have and try to get a basic idea of the different buckets of participation we can put players in and what percentage of participants fall within these buckets. This is just a rough point we can start from, and then it gets crazy. We do a base set of point numbers, run sample queries and compare to various levels of participation, tweak numbers, re-run queries, run different queries to get more information on certain buckets, etc., etc. Some of those individual queries can take a while to run by themselves, so we work furiously, wait, work furiously again, wait some more... and that’s just for point values! After that, we have to actually price the prizes. During all of this, we're also working on building the prize shop and... some other things. We discovered long ago that to do it properly takes time. (Ask folks who were around for the Curse of Maraqua prize shop. ;_;) When we're comfortable with the numbers -- which we actually never are, so... comfortable enough -- and we think everyone will be justly rewarded for their efforts, then we'll release the prize shop. We definitely know it's a pain to wait, but we think that's better than being disappointed with your reward. We don't have an estimate right now. We're really trying to finish up by next week, but we can't tell yet if that will happen. |
