January 2008 News Archive

As you all might have read here on the 26th, Neopets is going to release a multiplayer adventure called Key Quest. We now have a guide up with all of the information we could gather at this time. We even have a sneak preview of what the current 18 tokens look like.

The first chapter walkthrough of the RoS - Return of Sloth plot is up. Sorry it took a bit of time, I am pretty slow at doing the plot, making the pages, and doing the images and such XD.

We have 15 new shields! Animated shields to be more precise! Thanks to everyone on the Neoboards who gave me ideas :)

Hello, just thought i would come make a note on here about graphics. Lately we have been working on databasing our graphics and such so they are easier to add for us and sort automatically and can someday be searchable... but because of this we are having to re add them and such. All the pages are done and updated now for the most part, but errors do tend to happen when redoing a page, and although it may look like it is fine to us and even the few i test, sometimes there are errors I don't catch :P. So if you find any errors with the graphics, please neomail me about them and let me know what graphic page and which graphic it was and what is wrong with it. Thanks, Kendall :*

- Thanks to spraxle for the jelly grundo pet we were missing :o
- Thanks to ninja_gaiden289 for the camo elephante image and hat information :)
- A late thanks to facetiousmind for the invisible elephante image (forgot to thank them earlier :o)

We have also heared that Neopets is going to be releasing a new multiplayer game this spring, under the name KeyQuest. If you click on the image below you can browse through the Neopets page regarding this game. It appears to be a game that involves you to buy Neopets Merchandise (Plushies and Trading Cards) and play Site Events in order to unlock the 18 tokens which will function as your Key Quest game piece. There will be tokens of Neopets, Petpets, Faeries, Heroes, Villains and other Special characters. More tokens will be released in the future.

I would just like to put up a warning for everyone using trades and auctions. There appears to be a glitch going on. If your offer is not the winning/accepted offer, your neopoints will not be returned to you, instead they disappear. Maybe this is not the case for everyone, but quite a few people have become victims of this glitch already. It may be best to stay away from trades/auctions until the problems are solved.

Update 26th (updated): It seems as though the bug has not yet been fixed! While mostly you get your neopoints back, sometimes, they will still NOT be returned to you.

We have got 4 new guild layouts for you to use, this time they're not full page. All four are blog guild layouts for those of you who don't like to use full page layouts.

Its been a while since I have written such an extensive guide, but it has been really fun to make. I hereby represent you... SunnyNeo's Premium Guide! Our guide is very in depth and will teach you everything there is to know about premium! If after reading this guide you would like a premium invitation, you can neomail me for an invitation. Premium costs real money, please keep this in mind before you ask an invitation.

Apparently TNT has decided to make some changes in the game Advert Attack. The score needed to get the avatar has been changed to 700+. We will be looking into any changes that may be needed in our game guide. Also, getting the av is so much easier now! You should definitely try if you don't have it yet :)

Thank you 1animal_crossing for this information!

There are three new user lookups for you to use on our lookups page. They are Space Faerie, Plushie Grarrl, and Petpet!

Also, many of our lookups weren't so compatible with you trophy collectors. That problem has been fixed, and you can now enjoy every one of our lookups without worrying about your trophy count!

Today is the day you can get the I *heart* Sloth avatar. You can do so by taking Dr. Sloth's Loyalty Test in Sloth's Mind Control Lab on Sloth Day (January 14th). The answers are: C, D, B, C, A.

After you have done this, you can also get the I *heart* Happiness avatar. You can get it by visiting the Happiness Faerie in the Gallery of Heroes while your active avatar is the I *heart* sloth avatar.

Thank you thewayiarex for finding the Glowing Jetsam image!

This post is dedicated to some news and updates regarding Neopets (no new sunnyneo pages, sorry :*).

First of all, the Neopets Magazine is stopping! No new neopets magazines will be made anymore. Everyone who subscribed to the magazine will either get a new magazine called Plushie Pals, which is about stuffed animals, not neopets plushies. Or, you can contact customer support and ask them for a refund of your subscription. If you would like to get one of the magazines that have already been made, you can still order them through Beckett.com, they might become collector's items. This also means that the Word Scramble will most likely be cancelled, so if you havent collected your awards yet, it's best you do so now (you cant enter the one for issue 26 yet).


Neopets Premium is still having it's Holiday Offer until January 18th. This means you can get a yearly subscription for 49.95 dollars, instead of 69.95. Interesting to know is that Paypal Europe has recently changed the way you can use paypal, you no longer need a credit card to make a payment through paypal, you can verify your account through your bank account. This means that all European people who were wanting to get premium but couldn't, because of the lack of a credit card can now do so. If you make use of the Holiday Offer, it will cost you approximately 35 euro for a year and you'll still be in time to get the Floating Space Faerie Doll. If anyone would like a premium invitation, you can neomail me.

Oh and collect your Monthly Freebies if you havent already.

Someone requested this page to me a while ago, then when our pet related pages became such a big success, I realised it would be a really good addition. On our newest page you will be able to see all robot pets without their robot clothes on. You will be surprised how different these pets look! I would like to thank all people who helped us by submitting their robot pets, thanks a lot!

Thank you rahima04 for the Robot Korbat image

We have revamped the Rainbow Pool Page yet again. It now has the option for you to pick the emotion: happy, sad, angry, sick, or blank face. If you are selecting a specific pet and colour then it will automatically pull up and show you all the different emotions.

Premium neopets members (non trial) can get a free Space Faerie Doll trinket if they head over to the NCmall and click on the Space Faerie Doll. There will be a link for premium members to click where they can redeem their free space faerie doll NCmall item. This promotion ends February 15th, 2008, and is only for Non Trial Premium Members, so you need to collect it before it does.
