Hello, Gutterfoot here. I can’t believe it’s been two years (roughly) since I had my dream come true of working on Neopets. We’ve had the highest of highs and the lowest of lows together, but what I’ve enjoyed most has been working with the amazing people that make up TNT and getting to know the passionate userbase that keeps Neopets alive today. I am so excited about the future of the site with all the fun things we’ve been discussing (a new plot - what?!) and I wish I was going to be there when these things release, but you’re all in good hands and I will always be lurking. Rest assured, the features I’ve talked about with everyone like the Pound, NC Mall Redesign, and UC Pets are still being discussed/worked on by the team. My leaving does not change any of the hard work the team is putting in to bring these features to you.

As a little goodbye present… I want to share with everyone our plans for UC Pets! Especially since there were some faked leaks recently.

To bring them back as a purchasable option, we aim to release UC Paintbrushes in the store during limited periods to keep them a little on the exclusive side still. For example, we could release the UC Faerie Paintbrush during the Faerie Festival. In this instance, the UC Faerie Paintbrush would only apply to Neopets that have existing UC art which would exclude some. You won’t be buying specifically the Faerie Kougra UC Paintbrush either. Just a general UC Faerie Paintbrush that can apply to any species that has that existing UC art. When you purchase them from the NC Mall, you’ll be warned if you’re buying a UC Paintbrush that doesn’t apply to any of the species on your account. It won’t stop you though, in case you wanted to gift it to a Neofriend!

I will also note that the above is subject to change! We might see feedback that we agree with that’s a better direction to go or we may not, who knows! I won’t, that’s for sure haha. I know I haven’t been part of TNT long in the grand scheme of things, but I’m really happy that I got to make a difference and I can’t wait to see what the future holds as a fan. Farewell, Neopians! Gutterfoot out.

Hello, TNT! I saw a couple months ago you were working on allowing us to alter the order of our pets. As someone who's been on Neopets for over two decades, I'd personally love to display my pets in the order I created/adopted them. Is there an ETA on this feature? Thanks! ~~slmshdy444
Hey there! First off, thank you for being with Neopets for so long! We currently have a fix going out soon to place your pets in alphabetical order. We felt this applied some order to your pets especially after the pet slots extension. We can look into alternate ways to reorder to your personal preference. Thanks again! ~~Yarner

Hi TNT! Wondering if the Faerie Belonthiss can finally be activated... it's even a Neopie contender for best petpet colour, but we can't yet paint one! Pretty faerie fish deserves to be out and about in all its glory. Thank you! ~~kextreme
Terribly sorry about this! The mischievous meepit responsible for the reprehensible rascality that has been keeping our new petpet colours from being fully released has been captured and relocated to the Haunted Woods. The Faerie Belonthis, (as well as the Faerie Cougi, Faerie Tootum, Tyrannian Dartail, and Tyrannian Seti) are all now available! And since we have identified the problem was that Meepit's misbehaviour, we shouldn't have any issues with releasing new petpets in the future! ~~Aesop

Will there be a faerie festival or some type of faerie activity this year? Especially since none were able to happen last year? I really missed those faerie themed prizes!
Those of us at TNT also really missed Faerie Festival last year! Rest assured we have already been discussing what type of faerie festivities we can hold to celebrate this year! ~~Aesop

Hey TNT! My robot Pteri wants to read her newest copy of Illusens Insignificant Quests Book, but the book refuses to open. I even tried to help her myself but there's no option on the drop down menu to read the book. Please help!
Looks like Jhudora couldn't help herself this year. Publishing an entire book poking fun at Illusen wasn't enough, she even went as far as to cast a curse on it! Luckily, we were to dispel the curse with help from a very powerful faerie, so this book can now be read without fear of turning into a mortog! However, the purple-clad Faerie Queen who assisted us wished to remain anonymous, so we are sworn to secrecy when it comes to releasing her name! ~~Aesop

with the Altador Cup coming up in 4 months and having some Editorial questions being answered by some unknown staffers, why don't we get to know these new staff members (so we might be able to root for them in the staff tournament?) I've seen yarner and SunPotato, what about any other staffers hiding and may be participating in the Altador Cup staff tournament? Tell us about yourselves! ~~perduco
What a fantastic idea! I took the liberty of asking the TNT staff to answer some fun questions so that all of Neopia can get to know them. Although many of these answers come from newer members on the team, some of our more veteran team members also wanted to join in! ~~Aesop
