May 2009 News Archive

You can now sign up for Altador Cup IV! Sign up here. When you sign up, you get a new team background, and the Yooyu Key Quest Token, yay! Make sure you sign up on the team you'd like, and get ready to compete!

On the news page of 28th May TNT released a new avatar! So far we only know that you can get it by scoring some points at Mutant Graveyard of Doom II. We wil announce it when we know how high the score is.

While we don't have a full guide for this game, we have some tips on the Daily Dare page, in the March 10th section.

The Games Room has gone under a massive makeover, visit it to check out the new version! Note that some areas are not yet functioning properly, such as the new Sponsor Games area.

A new code has been found for The Buzzer Game.  Type “cheese” before starting level 1 and you will be able to see your cursor while playing.  This makes the game a bit easier for most of us.  Our sources give credit to bob13p for finding this code.  Good luck on your avatar hunt!

The Grundo Warehouse avatar is not retired, as some think. You can still obtain the avatar by entering A384J 228P1 into the old ten character box at the Grundo Warehouse.

Have you been wondering just how long it takes for a Snuffly to be old enough to start giving the avatar? Well, wonder no longer, as we have the answer!

A Snuffly will give the avatar from the age of 300 days.

Another mystery uncovered by SunnyNeo, our Avatar Guide has been updated accordingly.

We have some adorable, new Fake Avatars for you to use; why not check out our other graphics and Graphics Request Form while you're at it?

Also, Neopets has made some changes in their Games Room. Several game thumbnails have had a makeover, for instance Meerca Chase.
Thanks blood656 & 06dknibbs for this info.

Koi Day is coming up on May 25th, and here are a preview of the new Darigan and Ice Koi that will be released. Thanks to neocolours.de for the images.

As previously mentioned, we continously try to improve our existing pages. Today another such improvement is released. We updated our NC Mall Database and Customisation Database with an easy search function. If you are looking for a hat, just search for 'hat'! Simple right?


We've also updated our Keyquest page with the new mini game Berry Blast. Furthermore thanks to feral_shade we were able to update our Keyquest Prizelist with many new spring prizes.

A new Keyquest token featuring a Yooyu has been unearthed, the token will most likely be a prize of some sort in the upcoming Altador Cup IV.

With Altador Cup 4 coming up in June, Neopets is closing down the Prize Shop for Altador Cup 3. If you have got points left, it's best you trade them in for prizes before June 2nd. If you have not used your prize points by then, they will disappear and cannot be used again. That would be a terrible waste, wouldn't it?

TNT has activated the clothes they released on the petdays of the following pets:

Jetsam

Korbat

Pteri

Thank you hyhen for setting up the newest page added to the Chef Bonju Project, the Cyodrake's Gaze Plot.  Take a look there if you want to see what happened durning the plot, the awards, and to possibly see any clues that could of been overlooked.

Also, do not miss the Chef Bonju Project on the Avatar Chat Board today.  We will be there at different times throughout the day.  The scheduled times are: 10am NST, 2pm NST, 6pm NST, and 10pm NST.  If the boards continue on all day, then so be it.  However, if the boards do die, we will return back at those times.  Once the boards are active, we will have the link posted here so you can quickly jump into the conversation.

Hope to see you join us in the conversation!

**UPDATE**  Thank you to all who participated.

First of all I'd like to start with thanking all the people who have contributed modelling images to SunnyNeo. We were able to replace over 600 images within 24 hours and for that we are really thankful!

Unfortunately, our tasks of replacing all cogs are not done yet :( There are more cogs to replace. In our Rainbow Pool, we always displayed images of pets that normally wear deluxe clothes, but then without clothes. That way you can see what a pet would look like after you do a pound transfer, or it could be of interest for those who like to cross-paint. Unfortunately these images have turned into cogs also, and will need replacing. There are allmost 300 images of pets without clothes that we are hoping to find. In addition, there are some images we are looking to replace in preparation for Altador Cup IV, on our Altador Cup Customisation page. All of the images we are looking to find, including instructions on how to get these images are listed on our Model for SunnyNeo 2 page.

We hope that many people would like to help and contribute again. We would surely appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

We are looking for pet owners who would like to model NC Mall items for our NC Mall Database. As you may know, we have always displayed a picture of a pet modelling each NC Mall item to give viewers an idea of what the item looks like on a pet. Last week these model pictures were all turned into cogs, so we are looking for new models to show of all of these items.

In total there are over 600 NC Mall items that still need modelling. We have created a Model for SunnyNeo page that lists all these items, and has instructions on how your pet can be our model. If you own one or more NC Mall items and are interested in modelling these for us, please look at our special page and help us out. We would really appreciate it! Thanks a ton!

Tyrannian Victory Day is coming up on May 12th, and here are a preview of the new Tyrannian Ogrin that will be released. Thanks to neocolours.de for the
images.

Unfortunately, Neopets changed all their image IDs so that currently, only cogwheels are displayed. We are working on updating the IDs on our end. There are many IDs to update so please be patient. All good things come to those who wait. :-)

We have a preview of the new Hissi colors (Halloween + Speckled) that will be coming for Hissi Day. Thanks to neocolours.de for the images.

During the month of May you can send score 5 times during the week-end (Friday-Saturday-Sunday).

All Petpet Park Beta Testers have been receiving neomails from TNT saying that soon Petpet Park will go open for everyone. The e-mail also shows a lovely picture of the exclusive Beta Tester Suit which will be rewarded to all beta testers.

Hello, beta testers! We come bearing gifts. :) We have made so much progress since the start of closed beta, and we couldn't have done it without your help. So, we wanted to show our appreciation! Petpet Park will soon be entering open beta. At that time, account data will be permanent and anyone will be able to sign up to play and help beta test Petpet Park. Before that happens, we wanted to give you all a bit of a head start on your account. Starting on Friday, May 1st at 10pm NST (PDT), all accounts will be cleared of test data and Petpet Park will be available to closed beta testers for free play. You can reserve your Petpet names and begin earning Park Points before anyone else. The head start will end at 10am NST on Monday, May 4th, the Park will close for maintenance, and we will launch open beta soon after that. (Watch the News Page for more information on open beta.) In addition, if you log in during the head start, you will be awarded this snazzy Beta Tester Suit. These items are exclusive to the closed beta testers and will never be given away again! To join the head start and be awarded your items, log into Petpet Park between 10pm Friday and 10am Monday NST and create your new Petpet. (Be sure to double check your Petpet name before you adopt!) For more information on what has changed in this new build, as always, please visit the Beta Tester Page. Thank you again for helping us test during the last few months. We hope you join us in open beta and let us know what you think as we continue to update and add to Petpet Park. See you this weekend! - The Petpet Park Team

After last beta test of Petpet Park, many things have been added once more. Among the things that have been added are some changes to the jobs you can do. Before you could only complete half of Mr. Grimsby's Gift, but now you can complete the whole job. There is also a new job called A Suspicious Shipment. We have created guides for both of these games. TNT has also changed the kinds of items you can buy at the shops in Petpet Park, there is now a variety of clothes to choose from. However, the items no longer cost 10 PP, they are now up to 10,000 PP! Read more about Petpet Park in our Petpet Park Guide.
