Part five of our Hannah and the Ice Caves plot has just been released and it seems that Hannah is alright after all:) Click here to find out what happened...
New Battledome Challenger - The Inflatable Balthazar!
Roll up! Roll up! Now you can have some sort of revenge on this inflatable Balthazar for stealing all those poor faeries. See how hard you can hit him. The heaviest blows are stored in a high score table and there is a rather nice trophy if you are a winner!
Fruzia and Zuziafruzia has a shiny new Site Spotlight trophy for their cabinet thanks to their website - Fruzia's Nerkmid Guide.
This week's PPL has been awarded to the Plushie Slorg. Congratulations Squish, Pluff, Sockey, Plorg, Sockles, Do not salt, Captain Sluggy and all the others!
Screensavers have been added to the search bar too! Try searching for 'Faerie Bubble' to see what we mean!
This week's Better Than You challenger is none other than the down for maintenance Pteri.
Bori now have four rather spiffy looking Battledome items to choose from.
A new Lenny Conundrum has begun. The answer to last week's was 107 Yurbles. A whopping 17,836 people got the answer right (who posted it on the boards eh?) so they only earned a measly 113 NP each.
For her kindness to Neopets the Soup Faerie has been added to the Gallery of Heroes.
If you have blocked someone from sending you a Neomail, they will not be able to bid on your Trading Post lots now either. (Note - this doesn't apply if you have selected Neofriends only, its just if you block a specific username).
The Darigan Toy Shop has some new toys on sale including a Squeaky Noil and a Clockwork Grarrl.
This week's Neoadventure Spotlight trophy has been awarded to Leia_organa_12 for their adventure - Treck through the Haunted Woods.
"You sleep like a baby until sometime after midnight when the cord on your arm yanks you to consciousness. It was attached to the trip wire, to alert you on any incoming attack. With much of a struggle, you manage to get out of your hammock and pull back a small curtain made from an extra blanket."
Coin collectors will be glad to know there are four more Space Station coins on sale at the Coin Shop.
Amanda2133 has won this week's Pirate Cave Of The Week award with their cave - Drop!!.
I like the Inflatable Balthazar. @.@

Is it true that you have to have 100 referrals to get The Inflatable Balthazar? If so, that's really annoying.

Yea, I just heard it now on the Neoboards.
Too bad, I really liked the trophy too.

Why would they do that? Argh. I only have 20 referrals after more than four years.

I didn't get a notification or anything but he was in my list of challengers (I have over 100 referrals)

I really found that amusing after all this controversy about answers posted on the Neoboards.
Also it's kinda strange that they finally realeased some Bori equippment after I had sent in an editorial question about it

100 referals is a lot! 
I've never even gotten one that I know of... I've never tried personally. This is going to create a lot of dead new accounts... people that are relatively close are going to create extra accounts and just abandon them so that they get the 100.

"Apologies - One of our databases that stores objects crashed earlier today and caused some items to be erased. We are doing what we can to return the items now, if you have any weird problems with your account please let us know."
I think this is great!!!!! I can't remember an apology for a glitch since the TP glitch last November--and even then, it wasn't too much of an apology--but rather an explanation of what had happened. Thank you, Neopets! I knew there was a heart buried in there somewhere.

I have 3 referals in total, no Inflatable BAlthazar
Do you think they need to be really recent ones or something? The last referal I got was in Jan this year....

It was about 1 year ago

Gee, then I see no reason why I shouldn't get him as well 
Can someone give me the link to referals page? I can't seem to be able to find it....
