July 2014 News Archive

SunnyNeo is currently on the NeoBoards to try and get some missing information for our upcoming guides.  If you could take a spare moment to share your dailies data, that would be great! We're specifically looking for Grumpy and Wise Old Kings information, as well as results for our Wheel guides: Extravagance, Misfortune, and Monotony.  Feel free to also mention prizes we are missing on our Tombola and TDMBGPOP guides which have already been released.  We appreciate your help and support!  Join us!

While we're on the subject of NeoBoards, do you feel as though your post may be lacking something? Maybe what you need is a new font! We now have two new fonts for you to use: Slorg and Drackonack! 

Have a 'Slorg' (any color) attached to your pet for 100+ days, and then view its pet lookup.

Although the Altador Cup is over for a bit now, for those of you who like to afterparty, we've got something for you: some of the staff's Neopets dressed up for the AC.

Due to technical reasons, we have not been able to post a poll for the best entry like we did in the previous years, but we still want to show you what we came up with!

Many of you have requested for us to make a Baby Petpage.  We have had one with the Baby Wocky that says, "Spring Has Sprung" on it.  Now, we've added a more neutral layout that you can add your own title to!

The battle for the Obelisk has started again. Head over to the Battledome and fight for your faction. This round will last until the end of Sunday.

Here at SunnyNeo, our Staff Members were hard at work for not just their AC teams, but their SN Staff Tournament Teams.  Team Altachuck did manage to again take YYB from Team Super Heroes in week 4 like the previous week.  However Team Super Heroes ruled the side games every week, as well as won the first two weeks of YYB, landing them a first place victory.  Team Altachuck landed second place and fought honorably for their wins.  Team Pink Skulls and Team Super Awesome were neck and neck the whole time.  Team Pink Skulls managed to land third place just before Team Super Awesome in the final week, landing them the third place overall.  Team Super Awesome landed in the fourth and final place.   Four of our staff participating in this years Tournament achieved All Star.

Phoenixs (Altachuck)	Jujipup (Heroes)	Wolf (Heroes)	Mikey (Heroes)

Congratulations to all who accomplished their personal goals this Altador Cup.

Edit: When you feed the cake to your Neopet, not only will you recieve the NC item, but your pet will also gain 5 max HP!

First and foremost, thank you all who submitted to this years AC Customisation Spotlight.  There were many Customisations that we really liked and you did make it tough for us to chose a winner in each category.  Alas, votes were cast, and we have our winners!  Congratulations to all of you.  There were a select few Teams for which we did not receive a NP Only entry.  Therefore, we have filled in a customisation sample suggestion instead of leaving that entry blank.
