Altador Cup

[Jeanna]

from the news:
We promised a new event in June, so we thought you might like a glimpse of what's to come. It's almost time for the Altador Cup!

the link goes to this page:
http://www.neopets.com/altador/colosseum/index.phtml.

What do you think it is, exactly?
Do you think it'll be real life or online?

EDIT: Should this be in Game Strategies and Help? I wasn't sure...

so... incredible... looking....
cannot.... wait.....
Looks like it might be featuring the altador paintbrush we have all been asking for.

Agrees. Very cool graphics.

"In two day's time, sixteen Neopian worlds will send their best competitors to the kingdom of Altador. Champions will become legends, and only one team will walk away with the coveted Altador Cup. "

Worlds? as in countries? I'm excited.

[MRBboy8]

This looks so DANG COOL! I can't wait. I'm going to be part of virtupets...or maybe Lost Desert, or Kreludor. I dunno yet!

The sixteen 'worlds' are these (viewed on the sidewalk in the movie)


I can only recognise 10 of the sixteen (assuming the first is tyrannia, as it appears to be... that is tyrannia, Mystery island, Lost desert, Krawk island, altador, brightville, maraqua, meridell, terror mountain, and (possibly) faerieland...
any guesses as to the others?

This has to be because of the FIFA World Cup coming up in real life, to the excitement of around twelve Americans. Soccer just isn't our thing, I guess. I'm personally a baseball girl, but soccer does look fun what with the sometimes head-bouncing of the ball and exuberance of the players.

Oh, and the Altador Cup graphic with "Altador Cup" in different languages spinning around it is a really cool touch.

GO MYSTERY ISLAND! (It's where I built my Neohome, after all, so I gotta represent.)

[MRBboy8]

The worlds are Tyrannia, Mystery Island, Lost Desert, Virtupats, Krawk Island, Kiko Lake, Roo Island, Altador, Brightvale, Maraqua, Meridell, Terror Mountain, Faerieland, Kreludor, Darigan Citadel, and the Haunted Woods.

I see Kiko Lake, Roo Island and maybe Darigan?

I am so excited. Soccer is my favorite sport ever, and have it on neopets makes it all the more better.

[unr4veled]

is haunted woods the one in between brightiville and maraqua? That's the only one i don't see...

[Officer 1BDI]

You mean... I have to choose my world?

If I get to choose, I'll take Terror Mountain in a heartbeat. I always pictured my main account pets living there.

And I'd guess that three of those symbols are for Kreludor, Kiko Lake, and The Virtual Space Station.

I wonder if one could be for Lutari Island? Though the "missing" symbol looks more like Darigan Citadel's colors.

Edit: Because I can't tell the difference between an island and a lake.

My analysis of the sidewalk symbols:
Top row: Tyrannia, Mystery Island, Lost Desert, Virtupets Space Station?, Krawk Island, Kiko Lake, Roo Island
Bottom row: Altador, Brightvale, Kreludor?, Maraqua, Meridell, Terror Mountain, Faerieland, no idea, Darigan

Three of them I'm unsure about.

[Mongrel]

I see Virtupets Space Station(between Lost Desert and Krawk Island I think that is), possibly Roo Island(end of the first row), and possibly Kiko Lake(next to Roo Island).
EDIT: That second-to-last on the bottom is Kreludor, I'm almost certain. I don't know what that orange and black one is, maybe Haunted Woods?

Tyrannia
Mystery Island
The Lost Desert, which could easily comprise Sakhmet and Qasala
Virtupets Space Station
Krawk Island
Kiko Lake, looks like a very angry kiko from kiko match
King Roo
Altador
Brightvale
Haunted Woods, mangled orange pumpkin thing?
Maraqua
Meridell
Terror Mountain
Faerieland
Kreludor, purple and orange and the moon itself
Darigan Citadel

Looks like a cross between Jai Alai and soccer. Not a fan of either, or sports in general, but I've just finished the Quidditch World Cup in the Goblet of Fire.

[Jeanna]

I think I'll go for...Mystery Island or Meridell. Though I'll probably be more of a nuisance to my team than an asset as I stink at games.

[CrewWolf]

I'm not entirely sure what this is or what we're supposed to do, but it looks flippin' sweet.
