Can you feel the love?!
CONGRATULATIONS BETA TESTERS! To show our gratitude (but really so you can help us test some more) we've added 25 free NickCash (NC) to your Monkey Quest account. NC can be used at the NC Mall & certain vendor shops to buy special premium items like trail keys which grant you access to exclusive trails, costumes to customize your monkey, special potions that can heal you faster-and other exclusive & rare items! During this beta we have priced all items at 1 NC so you can test them out and tell us what you like! At the end of our beta test, all NC items will be wiped from your account and prices will go back to normal. Thanks for all of your help and don't forget to tell us what you think by taking our survey. Happy NC Shopping! |
You can log in at Monkey Quest with your Neopets account, you do not have to make a new one. You also dont actually have to play the game to get the free neocash, just logging in is enough. Thank you christian_boy_cookie for the heads up!
We don't know if items purchased with the neocash on Neopets will also be removed after the trial period. We have sent a ticket about this. We will post more if we get a response.
So its NickCash now eh?

Why must I retire so soon? :(
If you're as news savvy as we are at Sunnyneo, you may have noticed that TNT has promised to deflate r101 stamps. They will be doing this by putting one r101 on the Neopian Auction House for everyone to bid. Since these stamps haven't been released in awhile, they will be selling for multi-millions. These stamps are being auctioned by the staff account: dr_sloth
In the news today they said:
We have some good news and some bad news, everyone! The good news is, we're finally going to be slowly releasing some old r101 stamps back into the economy. The bad news is, our shipment of stamps was lost in transit. Oh, it looks like Dr. Sloth has found an old crate of stamps though! What an odd coincidence. It seems he'll be auctioning a stamp off once a month in order to fund his plans for his 'Grundo Reeducation Center'! Isn't that nice of Sloth to educate Grundos? And here we thought he was entirely evil. Way to go, Dr. Sloth! |
Currently on the Auction block is the Commander Garoo Stamp, which is part of the Virtupets Stamp Collection.
Watch as I single-handedly destroy the value of the Neopoint. Muwhaha.
So, who's your favourite faerie? Something tells me that Jhudora won't take it well if your answer is "Illusen"...
"It better be me, or I'll turn you into a mutant slorg!" |
"Behave, child! Speak no evil!" |
A lot of new Valentines themed graphics have been added to the Valentines Graphics page. Make sure to check them out! If there’s any graphics you would like us to make, don’t hesitate to visit the Graphics Request page.

Don't throw that hook at me!
I sorta look like a Jubjub Ball?
And JubJub Power Bounce is not the only thing glitched today:
As you've probably noticed, New Features hasn't been updated today. We're having some issues that prevent us from updating the site... at least that's what the Server Meepits say. They will be working hard overnight to fix this, so we hope to have a double dose of New Features for you tomorrow. We know it's Zafara Day today, so we apologise to Zafaras everywhere for missing their special day and forcing them to celebrate with Jhudora. (We don't think she has anything to do with these issues, but you never know. We'll be sure to investigate.) Sorry for the inconvenience. - The Zaffy/Jhudora Peace Treaty Team |
While you're waiting, why not check out the newly released items in our JubJub Power Bounce Guide.
Only for Valentine
We've updated our guide to show these new changes. Check out of Lunar Temple Guide for more details.

Many people are also experiencing a glitch when playing p3 Habitarium which seems to affect harvesting and gaining any experience points, unless you refresh the game. Here's a response from TNT regarding this glitch:
Dear anuarisa,
Thank you for your patience and understanding! We are experiencing a bug that is preventing normal gameplay in Habitarium. Unfortunately we are unable to determine exactly when a bug will be fixed but we do our very best to prioritize them and get them resolved as quickly as possible.
If we have any more information or updates to share with you we will update or re-open your ticket accordingly as it has been categorized with the specific issue that you are reporting.
Thank you!
