How do you play the 10k a day game?
On the Games Neoboard a lot of people play a game called 10k a day. First they wait until there are enough people wanting to play. When there are enough people everyone puts their money in the Bank. The person hosting the game picks a game, and everyone plays it three times. Then everyone posts their highest score (out of those three games). The person with the highest score gets to pick the next game. The first person to get 10k wins the game.
How does your pet get abilities? How do you raise the level of your abilities?
Abilities can be gotten if you let a Bottled Faerie Bless your pet. Your pet does need to be the right level (or higher) or the faerie will just fly away. There are also certain neggs that can give your pets abilities: the 'Cackling Negg' gives your pet the Shadow Health ability and the 'Spinning Negg' gives your pet the Air Shield ability.
The level of your abilities can be raised if you land on the Light Faerie at the Wheel of Excitement, or by feeding your pet a 'Radioactive Negg'. The 'Plaid Negg' can also raise the level of your abilities, but this can come with side effects such as your pet changing to a basic color.

If they do have it, they move on to the next round. The person wo stays in the game longest, wins. In order to show people you want to participate you need to put your avatar on the default avatar.
The Braintree asked me where this person died and when, how do I find out?
The Braintree will always ask you the place and date of a person's death. The only way to answer such a question, is to feed the Esophagor twice while you are on a Braintree quest. Recording the answers for next time is no use at all, because the dates and places of the characters people change all the time.

Im going on holiday, who is going to feed my pets?
First of all I'd like to state that getting a Neositter (someone who looks after your pets for you while you are gone) is against the Neopets Rules, and also very dangerous, so you definately do not want to do that.
In Neopia Central there is a place called the Neolodge, you can bring your pets to this hotel for a small fee and they will be entertained and fed there.

Right now you can no longer get an Ice Bori. You used to be able to get one by downloading the Neopets/Yahoo Toolbar (October 2004). But you can no longer do so.

Where is Jelly World and why is it not on the map?
Jelly World can be found here:

The Jelly World Neoboard is here:

Where can I buy an Malevolent Sentient Poogle Plushie (TCG)?
The Malevolent Sentient Poogle Plushie (TCG)'s originally came from the First Edition trading card sets. If you buy a trading card set in a real store then it will come with a rare item code, these codes can be redeemed on neopets. When you redeem a code you will be given neopoints or an item. These First Edition rare item codes would also give you the chance of getting the Malevolent Sentient Poogle Plushie (TCG). They are no longer for sale in stores however. It may be possible you can still get them off other users through auction sites. Don't be fooled though, the chance of actually getting the MSPP from the rare item code is very small. Another way of getting the card is by buying it from other users through the Trading Post, prepare to pay millions of neopoints there.
Does Neocash expire?
Yes, your neocash expires after one year, whether it was purchased (using PayPal / through a Neocash Card) or received free of charge as part of a site event (Halloween, Springtime Celebration, etc.) or activity (Expellibox, Daily Dare, etc.). If you have not used your neocash within that time, you will receive a warning neomail by TNT about a month before it expires. In this neomail TNT will write that if you do not use your neocash within a month, it will be turned into random items for whichever amount of neocash you had left. Important to know is that neocash is used in the order that you have obtained it: your oldest neocash will be used before your new neocash. Neocash items do not expire, you can keep those forever!

Neopets created restock bans to make restocking more fair on everyone. People who spend too much time at the neopets shops get banned from buying stuff there for a while. This can last from a few hours, to a few days. The restock bans are measured by the number of refreshes you make at a shop. So if you go there and refresh like crazy, you have a high chance of getting restock banned. You know you are restock banned if you cannot see any items in the neopets shops, not even in shops like the Tiki Tack Shop that always have stuff in them.

What's the deal with unconverted pets? How do you get them?
Unconverted pets go back to the times before customisation (before April 26th 2007). Pets that were painted in special colours such as Grey and Plushie were sometimes (not on all pets) given the option to convert or to keep the pet the same. If a person would decide to convert their pet it would be able to wear clothes. If a person decided to keep their pet unconverted it couldn't wear clothes (only trinkets and backgrounds) but it did keep the old artwork. The option to convert or not to convert was only given to pets that were painted before April 26th 2007 and only to certain colours. If you paint a pet nowadays you cannot choose between converted or unconverted, the pet automatically becomes converted. If you have a converted pet and you re-paint it, it will also automatically before converted. If you have a converted pet you should also watch out for random events such as Boochi, which will automatically convert your pet. If you want to read more about April 26th 2007, you can read this page.

What's that I hear about Neopets being sold to Viacom?
Often you hear people complaining about how Neopets was ruined after it was sold to Viacom. They talk about it as if this is something that happened recently. We'll these people really don't know what they're talking about. Neopets was sold to Viacom (the same company that owns Nickelodeon and MTV) on June 21st 2005. Yes, years ago! If you're interested you can read a Newspaper article from the Boston Globe about the sale. The sale to Viacom went pretty much unnoticed, people just like blaming changes on Viacom, which is pretty unfair really. The people who work for Neopets try their best to continuously improve the site. Viacom definitely doesn't have some evil scheme to ruin the site. For them it's just a way to generate more income, so they want a lot of players, they don't want to chase them away.
How do I make my pet gain in weight?
