1st and 2nd November
- SITE UPDATE - Well you may have noticed the site was a bit faster than usual yesterday. We have been
tuning our database and adding more servers to make it run faster, and it seems to have worked.
Yesterday we did a whopping 171,866,200 yellow bar pageviews (255,761,000 overall) which
is our best ever :) Also 2,927,780 flash games were played which is also a record.
Thanks for playing!
Yay!
- Oops the Defenders of Neopia had a problem and
wasn't working for most people. It's fixed now, sorry about that.
- Look real Ghostkersandwiches... scary eh!
Mmmmm... processed cheese
- UPDATE - A while back we mentioned that we were working on a PlayStation game
called The Darkest Faerie, well there have been a few delays. Basically we felt
that it couldn't achieve everything we wanted it to on the PS1 and so we are going
to re-make it as a PS2 game (so the graphics will be much better!) and it will
be out in 2005. Don't worry, it's only -594,102,734 seconds away (roughly!)
Sorry about that. The good news, however, is that the game will feature evil faeries,
werelupes, a zombified King Skarl, Illusen, gigantic Draik skeletons, the legendary land of Talador and the (possible) total and utter
destruction of Faerieland (unless you can stop her!)
31st October - All Hallows Eve
30th October - All Hallows Eve Eve

- Love 'em or hate 'em, Fuzzles are here to stay so we have decided to randomly give today a Fuzzle theme!
- Both evil and normal fuzzles have been added to the How To Draw
section.

awarding the correct jackpot. It has been fixed now! This also means the high score table will work.

Neostephania for their spooky themed shop - Happy Halloween.

Yes, just like the Tax Beast, but much less forgiving. Now I wonder if we should ever do a random event
that takes ALL your Neopoints...
28th October
- Lots and lots and lots of items around the site today (including a few paint brushes) have been retired! Yes, we

and added in most of the items we have forgotten to add over the last few months!

have been nice to people, and if you have you may get the following random event!
Something has
happened! | | Since you have been so nice, you may now
play Defender Trainer three more times today!
Hoorah!
|
... however if you haven't been nice ...
Something has
happened! | | Dr. Sloth has his "associates"

effort.

Elf Snowball Fight game!

- What was in those sausages?!?!?!?! Well, it seems that somebody found out, and Meri Acre Sausages

52% in mid-morning trading.
