New prizes and re-releases have been released for JubJub Power Bounce. This will be the last batch for this month since JJPB will retire on May 31st and won't return until the summer.



Check our Jubjub Power Bounce guide for a list of all new and old prizes. 

There's a new US only sponsor scavenger hunt on Neopets. It has a really long name too: Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer Thrilladelic Superawesome Scavenger Hunt.

We've just updated the site with our new Judy Moody Scavenger Hunt guide. You can earn yourself a quick 4,100 neopoints and a Fun in the Sun Usuki.

Neopets hit 100,000 fans on their Facebook page:

Thank you everyone for helping us hit 100,000 fans! As promised, here's the FB code for a brand new item to show you our appreciation. Just enter FB100KFANPOBFG at Grundo's Warehouse to receive it.

Go to Grundo Warehouse and enter FB100KFANPOBFG to get a free wearable: Piles of Books Foreground.
Warning: Since you can sell this item, it's not allowed to get it on side accounts.

More Royal little critters have been found, as well as two new Faerie ones!



Edit: Anubis and Angelpuss will come in Royal versions too! Thanks goes to pryma96 for these images

Thanks to Prada_Prince we can give you a preview of the upcoming Altador Cup Mystery Capsule:


And what's this? A VIP section for the AC?

TNT unfortunately miscalculated the countdown clock for Sign-Up Week. As they have explained in the New Features today.

The Altador Cup is almost here! For those of you who were watching the countdown clock, we have some bad news: the clock was incorrect and the sign-ups are actually going to start at around 12 PM NST tomorrow (rather than 12 AM NST). Time to go study and work on those maths skills.


It looks like there are some new Altador Cup-themed frames coming soon too! Click the links below to see them.

TNT released new wearables for the The Transfabulator at Castle Nox. So why not go ahead and use some of those Castle Nox Corridor of Chance Key Packs.


Check our Castle Nox Corridor of Chance guide for prizes and previews.

Royal Petpets
An image of the Royal Petpet Paint Brush has been found, so Royal is most likely not going to be a Petpet Lab Ray-only color:


And three new Royal Petpets have been found, so it won't be long before TNT releases them.


Check our PetPet Puddle for more painted Petpets.

Due to the server move our Wishing Well Project wasn't working anymore, but good news: it's fixed! So why not help us finding the correct amount to donate to the Wishing Well in order to get the elusive Wishing Well avatar?
Get ready and start donating (and hopefully get a wish granted too).

An image has been found of a Royal Seece, so it seems Royal can be expected to become a new Petpet colour soon.
Thanks goes to horsefaith6725 for sharing this image with us.

We are proud to present to you our very new and shiny Altador Cup Coverage pages! *Fans cheer* Now you can explore pages like the Altador Cup Graphics and Ranks pages in style.
_{Please note that the Altador Cup Lookups are currently broken. They will be fixed as soon as possible :).}

Remember that the 25th May is the last day to collect Altador Cup V prizes from the ACV Prize Shop! Sign-ups are due to start soon as well.

New prizes and re-releases have been released for JubJub Power Bounce. We're currently still updating our guide with previews and re-releases.


Check our Jubjub Power Bounce guide for a list of all new and old prizes.

MME9 has finished morphing. Depending on which id you've got, you'll now get a MME9-S4a: Tentacle Skirt or a MME9-S4b: Tentacle Wig.

Within a few hours, the previous stages of this MME will appear in your inventory. If you're lucky, this will include the bonus item: MME9-B: Slimed Trail Foreground as well.

We've updated our MME guide with the final two stages and the bonus.

TNT has auctioned a Petpets Stamp via their dr_sloth account and today's the last day to bring out bids on this stamp. So why not drain your bank account of all the Neopoints you own and make an offer.
Edit: This auction has ended.

Tomorrow is 8-bit Day and thanks to Agedbeauty we can announce that 8-bit might be one of the new colors for Grundos, so get those Lab Maps ready!


And don't forget to cast your vote for the re-release of bonus items for JubJub Power Bounce. You can vote once a day now through May 24th. The 5 items with the most votes will be included in the items released on May 26th.

A new Wheel has landed in The City of Qasala: The Wheel of Extravagance. The location itself is a bit hidden. One spin will cost you 100,000np, so go drain your bank account.

You can win an avatar - High Roller (you can get it by landing on the empty frame lot):


And a very nice background is also one of the prizes:

MME9 has morphed again! This time it morphed into MME9-S3: Tentacles Attack Background in which it seems the tentacles have taken over! At the moment, the item image of this stages doesn't work yet, but at least we've got a preview.

We've updated our MME guide with this new stage.

Now we usually do not post updates on Petpet Park but currently there is an event going on at Petpet Park that allows you to earn NickCash. Which is the same as Neocash and is exchangable on all Nickelodeon Virtual Worlds (Neopets, Petpet Park, Monkey Quest).

In the event you have to help Neeter build his Game Machine so he will send you on all sorts of quests to test games or to find more information from other characters in Petpet Park. If you want to do this quest, you must go to Petpet Park, click on the Map and then visit the place valled Pawvillion. There you will find Neeter (the green fellow in the picture below), if you click on him you can start doing his quests by clicking on the yellow conversation starters. Once you finish a quest you can start doing a few more by returning to Neeter and clicking on him again. In order to finish helping him with the Game Machine you must complete quite a fair amount of them. Not all of them will be available to you right away. Petpet Park releases them at a batch each time, so you must continue to return and check if there are new quests. Yesterday the second batch of quests was releases. Unfortunately, we don't know how many quests there will be or now much NC you can actually earn with this.

Today TNT will release new prizes and re-releases for JubJub Power Bounce. Thanks to Prada_Prince we can show you one of the new prizes:

Gem Stone Wig

Update: New prizes and re-released are out! Check our Jubjub Power Bounce guide for all prizes and previews.

First of all, TNT has suprised us with the countdown to sign-up week on the Altador Cup Main Page. There is also a sneak peak of Team Kreludor, Darigan Citadel and the fan freebies. Sign-Up Week starts around the closure of the ACV Prize Shop so spend your points soon!.



Be sure to check out our past coverage to get back into the tournament spirit!

As some of you may have noticed, the Altador Cup VI Neoboard is now LIVE! Time to get the real Pre-Tourney Hype going.



In other news, the NC Mall Altador Cup shop is now open!

MME9 has just started to morph into something that has loads of tentacles. No wonder it's new stage has been called MME9-S2: Tentacle Takeover!

We've updated our MME guide with a preview and more info about this new stage! We also have the names of a few upcoming stages there, for those who would like to know what other tentacles they can expect.

The MME9-S1: Nearly Inescapable Tank will retire tonight at 11.59 pm NST at the NC Mall. After today the Tank will morph into different stages, so keep an eye on yours.
For more info and previews please check our MME Guide.


Guide updates
Because of the server move, we weren't able to update our guides, but not to worry, they're updated now.

TNT released new and old JubJub Power Bounce items. Check out our Jubjub Power Bounce guide for prizes and previews.

New smileys were released, so head on over to our Smileys Guide for all new and current smileys you can use on the Neoboards.

And last but not least a New Game Challenge is out. Go to our NGC Guide for tips on how to play and for all the prizes.

We have moved our site to a new server now. We think it has been pretty successful. Most things are back up and running now. Some things like Lablog did not work over the past few days but you can now get back to logging your lab zaps.

Some things do not yet work, like our RSS feeds and Daily Puzzle & Crossword. We are working on getting those back up as soon as possible. Meanwhile you can enjoy our news (which is back!) and page updates.

According to the news, Neopets will be down from 11.00 PM and on. The downtime will take about three hours or longer.

We apologize for the inconvenience; however, Neopets will be down for maintenance today (May 9th), starting at around 11:00 PM NST. This maintenance period should last around three hours in Code Mynci time, which we are pretty certain means three hours in our time, but you can never be too sure...

Also, the Festival of Neggs Neoboard has disappeared. This will mean we can expect the Altador Cup board on the Neoboards fairly soon.
This might be a good time to spent your remaining points in the Altador Cup Prize Shop!

We have just noticed that TNT has uploaded all the team logos for AC VI! Click the links below to see them.

In other news, new Jubjub Power Bounce items will be released soon. From the looks of it, this will be the last new set of items for JJBP.



With regards to our server move, it's currently ongoing. The process will last 72 hours. In this period you may receive some errors or downtime, but hopefully not!

Unfortunately due to the server move we cannot update our guides at the moment. We have updates ready for the Jubjub Power Bounce guide and the new Game Challenge. Though it will be a little while until we can release them. Please bare with us during our server move.

The Festival of Neggs is ending today. Everyone who has collected all 16 neggs will receive a Hollowed Negg Tree Background. If you have collected all neggs on their release day, you will also unlock a special Festival of Neggs Site Theme. If you want to see what it looks like, have a look at our preview. Also, remember that if the meter hits 5 million today, everyone will receive an extra prize. You can still help by looking around neopia for regular plastic neggs.



With regards to our server move, it's currently ongoing. The process will last 72 hours. In this period you have receive some errors or downtime, but hopefully not!

We will be moving our website to a new server today. This means that the site may experience some downtime, or will not function properly. Don't be scared when this happens, it just means we are working on it and trying to make it better. We hope that we can report a successful move soon.

The Shenkuu JubJub Power Bounce Tokens will retire tomorrow at 11.59 pm NST at the NC Mall. As we all experienced with previous retiring Tokens, this means a new JubJub Power Bounce game is coming and all current prizes will be retiring aswell.

Knowing TNT the prizes will retire before that day is over, so if you still want another Asparagus Foreground or any of the other prizes, be sure to play now.


The Token itself can still be used with all new JJPB games, so no worries when you still own a couple when the game retires.
