15th November - Neopets 15th Birthday

  • Happy Birthday to us, Happy Birthday to us...

    **HAPPY BIRTHDAY NEOPETS!**

    55th Neopet!!! - Neopets has been around for 15 years. Can you believe how time has flown? Well, we wanted to memorialise this big event with a special reveal: the 55th Neopet! (And if you have been wanting to complete the Neopian alphabet we have good news - it starts with a V!)

    Neopia, please welcome the Vandagyre. The Vandagyre is ready to meet you at the Create a Pet page. Why not stop by and say hello?


    Also, stop by the NC Mall to pick up your Vandagyre Goodie Bag filled with not one, but two Vandagyre themed items! Visit the NC Mall!

    Birthday Pet Lookup! - We know how important it is to honour birthdays, Neopets included! Now when your Neopet has a birthday, you can celebrate by visiting their Pet Lookup. Your Neopet will receive a birthday surprise, and it comes in one of three choices! No matter what you pick, your Neopet is bound to be pleased! :)

  • To make way for the Vandagyre, who will be unlimited, we have made the Ruki into a Limited Edition Neopet. If you were meaning to create a Ruki soon, please make sure to check back on Ruki Day!

  • The next round of the Beauty Contest is about to begin. Head on over and vote for your favourite. You can also take a look at the three winners of the last round! Congratulations to Roleplay, Minque, and Mikalus!

  • 'An Extra-Special Gift?', 'A Walk Through The Years On The 15th Birthday', and more birthday-themed Poems are available for you to enjoy!

  • Birthday Petpets are back again this year! Purchase a new goodie bag from the Toy Shop for a chance to win one of these cuddly (and tasty) companions.

  • The newest issue of the Neopian Times has been released! Keep your eyes open for great stories and adventures like A Happy Birthday! and A Farewell to the Random Contest.

  • We have received many birthday submissions for the Art Gallery. Be sure to check them out - there are two pages!

  • To keep the celebration going, the NC Mall has some great news! Starting Sunday, 11/16 through Saturday, 11/29 at Target stores in the US get 20% OFF the $25 Neopets Cash Card!

14th November

  • Shop Stock Update! - We know everyone has been frustrated with shops and the way items have (or haven't...) been restocking in them. Well, we have great news for you! All shops, from the Neopian Fresh Foods shop to the Ugga Shinies shop, will no longer keep old stock around. That means shops will clear out more regularly so that you will have more opportunities to purchase the items that you want. Happy shopping! :)

  • You may want to put on a pair of sunglasses before you visit Kauvara's Magic Shop today. Those new potions are quite bright on the eyes!

  • The Poems page has been updated with new titles! Check out '#NeoQuester #4lyfe', 'An Ode To Classic Neohomes', and others.

  • This week's Neohomes Spotlight winner is 'Skyfall Mansion'. This lovely residence in Faerieland belongs to zizelalexia.

  • There is a new Mystery Pic competition. The answer to the last one was Rock Potion. 308 people guessed correctly, earning them 6,494 NP each.

  • We hope you take some time to visit the Art Gallery today. There is a great selection of new images up for view!

  • Flopsy the Florta has won the Petpet Spotlight this week!

13th November

  • Daily Prizes, Trading Post, and Auction Update! - Four select dailies will now give out new prizes (from a pool of existing items). Additionally, the Mystery Island Trading Post and Neopian Auction House now have new maximum values!


    • Trading Post and Auctions - If trading and bidding is your thing, you are in luck! The Trading Post maximum is now 2,000,000 NP, and the Auction maximum is now 50,000,000 NP. (That means those who might use a certain Oracle boon will see an even higher value there, as well.)

  • As the weather gets colder, you might want to stop to take a sip of a hot beverage. Why not use one of the new handy mugs that are now available at the Neopian Gift Shop?

  • Time to walk down memory lane! Nightshadeswiftswing has won the Site Spotlight this week with 'Darkest Faerie Story Guide'.

  • This week's PPL award has been given to the Pirate Walking Carpet. Well done Harvey, Mortimer, Blanket, Chad, and all the others.

  • Catalina_diaz_cofre_ has quite the challeng for you in the latest Kreludor Cave Of The Week. Watch out!

  • The Wintery Petpets Shopkeeper is this week's Better Than You challenger. Time to test our your Meepit vs. Feepit skills!

  • The Birthday celebrations continue! At the NC Mall, Functional Fortune Cookies just got better. Open the Faerie Quest, Game, Lab Ray, Training, Upcycle or NC archives Fortune Cookies and receive better chances at ... well, good stuff. ;) For example, Faerie Quest Fortune Cookies now allow you to get one bonus Faerie Quest a day for 9 days instead of 7. Upcycle Fortune Cookies now have a lower chance of having you donate 4 NC items. (That means a higher chance at only having to donate 2!) These changes, as well as others, will be effective for any of the aforementioned Fortune Cookies opened today and going forward. Visit Noda here!

12th November

  • Whose side would you prefer to be on when you practice your Coal War Tactics? The Plushie Palace has both, in case you can't decide!

  • Today's brand new Story Telling beginning was submitted by dr_tomoe.

    The decorations were being put away, the candy was eaten, and the costumes were put up for yet another year. It was time to get into the full swing of autumn now, and there was a grand tradition to get everyone started -- namely, getting all the discounted candy at the Chocolate Factory that didn't sell!

  • Congratulations go out to CuteyPiex3 and Iskry! Each has proven spiffier than the rest in the Customisation Spotlight. Voting for this week's contest has begun. Good luck to this week's entrants!
