If your account is 50 months+ you will see a gold star in a red circle (next to the Specialty link) at the NC Mall -
Neopets Experienced User


Elite Boutique

Why hello! Welcome to my fine establishment. You must be one of the Neopian Elite if you are here at my store!
I am sure you will be pleased with our fine and rare merchandise. Be assured that only those who are in the know will be in my shop.



At the moment it has:

Wind Up Number Six
Neopets Marketplace Background
Floating Happiness Faerie Doll
Golden Elite Garland
Neopets Circle Background

A game too cool was born, even if acusations of bribing TNT came my way…

That's really cool! 24 more months and I can go there. lol. Can you post some images for those of us who can't see them?

It seems they're finally trying to reward longtime players. We can get our blue and yellow circles back! I don't really want them, but it's nice to have the option.
Pink: your wish is my command.

Sure!!

I like your attitude - the charter has been in uproar over it. It seems a lot are offended by the term 'Elite' and don't think that only accounts that are 4 years or older should be able to access it.

I bought the Garland. :)

Sadly enough, I really want that circle background. I guess that means I'm waiting to actually win some nc off the expellibox...lol

Wow, I'm actually kinda surprised they did this. But at the same time, I think it's kinda cool. It's a step in the right direction for their promise (how long ago?) to provide older users with some special things.

I love the description for the Circle Background: "OH NO! You are trapped in a circle!"

I'm so glad that they brought this back. Now to watch my account age.

I love it, personally. As far as I know, they've NEVER had any kind of reward for the older, loyal users. If only I had 50 more NC, I'd get that circle. :P C'mon, Expellibox!

It's really cool how the background changes from day and night! Is that by actual time?

I bought the Circle BG for my Lenny :D I feel so l33t being able to access this, although I think the age limit is a little unfair.

I wish I could access it myself, but I do like that they're rewarding those players who have been around for so long. Maybe they should have shops for every age. Like one for players who've been around for 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 4 years, etc. and as you age, you get to access more and more shops :)

I'm slightly annoyed that the circle costs 200 NC. Mostly because the only NC I have is from that giveaway. :P

Maybe I'm just subconsciously bitter since my main account's only 30 months old and even if it was old enough the only item I want is something I can't buy with my small sum of free NC, but... isn't it kind of odd that they're "rewarding" the older players with items that they have to buy? With real world money? o_O

Good point Officer.

No, the background cycles through it pretty quickly.

but... isn't it kind of odd that they're "rewarding" the older players with items that they have to buy?


That is the only down side to the whole thing. We have to spend money to be 'elite' :lol:
but hopefully this is just the first of a few more benefits for the older accounts (something that TNT had hinted at in an Editorial).
