News for Tuesday, November 21st!

Tue Nov 21, 2006 12:42 am

21st November

* The Toy Shop has some new action figures for your Neopet to play with.

Image Image Image Image

* There is a new page of Neopian Poems for you to look at.

* The Tale of Woe - Mayor Thumburt has been defeated! See what happens in Chapter 15, the conclusion of the Tale of Woe!

Image

Thanks to everyone who participated in the plot. We hope you enjoyed it! This week is quite short due to US holiday, so we'll begin the arduous ultra-fun task of tallying points starting next week!

* Well done dorktape and ShyCowPie, your website 100% Kau, has just earned you a shiny Site Spotlight award.

* The Plushie Palace has some new plushies now on sale.

Image Image Image Image

* The winner of this week's Minigolf Spotlight is master_video_g__ss with their rather unusual course - Windy Alley.

* There are some new Shopkeepers for you to choose from!

Image Image Image

* Neovia! - With things (mostly) restored, the citizens of Neovia have begun to rebuild their city. Shops are reopening, and lives are returning to normal. (Well, as normal as they can be in the Haunted Woods.) Why not help out by taking a vacation to Neovia and spending some Neopoints?

Image

Image Image Image Image Image

* Gathows can now be painted Snow, Plushie, Blue and Black at the Petpet Puddle.

Image Image Image Image

* It's that time again! A new Story Telling has begun.

Kiyer rubbed his head ruefully and glared at the Skeith, then turned around to look at the half dozen or so fellow prisoners in his cell. "Well?" he demanded. "What can we do? How do we escape?"

* This week, why not put your thinking cap on and try to work out something witty to say for our new Caption Contest.

Image

* UPDATE! - We've got a suprise in store for the site tomorrow, so try to stop by if you can. ;) (One of the big areas of the site is getting a bit of an overhaul, but don't tell anyone we told you!)

* Tell someone you care with this new Greeting. Awwwwww.

Image

* The very first Pet Spotlight trophy of the week has been given to xXxDominosxXx the Moehog.

* Add some music to your life with some of these new instuments from the Music Shop.

I can't wait to see the surprise...

Tue Nov 21, 2006 12:50 am

I bet it's the revamp of the game room they had up a while ago.

Tue Nov 21, 2006 12:54 am

ooo...the end of a plot AND a makeover of a big part of the site...TNT sure does know how to do things right, when they want to...

Awwwwww. <3

I actually thought the big surprise might be a revamp of the Haunted Woods, so that we have an easier way to access Neovia besides through the Gypsy camp, but the Game Room makes sense, too.

I am hoping for a neovian paint brush with neovianboy and neoviangirl versions. Or maybe they will call it a fancy paint brush, spiffy paint brush, ballroom paint brush or something. I am trying to find unreleased paint brush colors.

I don't care if you want to veiw source and make your own pet color finder.

Oh Right... and ALL of us know by the time TNT finally tallies up the points it would be just in time for Christmas.
*gulp* oh wait it may be worse....

Yay! 'Bout time those Cheaters got some love. Although...what's up with the expression on his face? ("....why are these cards so big?? You expect me to throw 'em, or what?")

New town, great Gathow colors, cool new plushies, a big surprise waiting in the wings - all in all, great news today. :D

I think it could they might revamp the chats. It has been a while since they did that. I'd like to see them revamp a world map like tyrannia or the space station or one of the older ones. I'd like to see them make Bogshot village of a new area. I can't guess what they will do.

*Zack stumbles out of the dusty background to make a subtle appearance...*

My guess on this uber-secret secret/revamp/whatever is something we've ALL been waiting for... a better battledome...

Tue Nov 21, 2006 5:25 am

Come on New Battledome...

I hope its not a revamped clothes system. I kinda get that impression with the new clothing store in Neovia though...

Come on new Battledome...

Ugh, I'd be so grateful if they upgraded the neoboards. They're absolutely HORRIBLE when they have glitching (I.e. this weekend - a million page cannot be displayeds per post).

Tue Nov 21, 2006 10:53 am

ah, Neovia... I agree a Neovia/Victorian paintbrush would be great. the tailors, Prigpants & Swolthy, look perfect.
Now, that neovian food shop mercaa scares me. A very good new adition to Neopia, indeed.

Now, the surprise... I hope to be wrong, but is very unlikely it's the battledome. with hundreds of people searching the net for the slighest unreleased pixel, anything that changed the look or naimations of the 'Dome would be noticed right away.

A Chat board change, on the other hand, would be more easily kept under the radar.

Tue Nov 21, 2006 1:29 pm

But didn't they just alter the way the neoboards look a while ago? The only thing I'd want to change on the neoboards is things like max post length and making your own posts editable but the boards move way too fast for that and the sheer amount of chnge needed for that would be impossibly huge....

*shrugs*

We'll just have to wait and see, I'd prefer a new battledome to anything else mentioned so far, and if they really did want to keep it off the radar then they could just not upload it, keep it on an internal server or something....
