29th November

* NEW TEMPLATE - As you can probably see, we have changed our template to incorporate a larger banner at the top of the page. We put a little explanation why here. Once more we apologise to everybody for the inconvenience. We just made the banner totally vanish for Neopets Premium users however, and it should never appear on user lookups.

* More clues to our Guildmasters' Dinner will be coming tomorrow, we are really sorry about the wait!

* Well, due to the excitement over the weekend the Battledome decided to break. The challengers are supposed to get harder after each battle, but this was not happening and as a result lots of people got unfairly high scores. We know you worked hard, but we have to be fair, so we have reset everybody who got over 300 wins back down to 300. Sorry about that, everything should be working as usual now and a new challenger will be coming tomorrow.

* This week's Pet Spotlight award has been given to an Usul called Flowal2000.

* It seems to be snowing on Mystery Island which is causing a lot of confusion for the residents in today's Caption Contest.

* The Bringer of Night (whome you will learn more about shortly) has been added to the Gallery of Evil. Hannah has also earnt her place in the Gallery of Heroes.

* The Story Telling Competition is continuing from last week, why not give it a whirl?

* There are some new Fun Images featuring Noils for you to add to your shop or webpage.

* Moon Rock Rampage is the latest game to be translated into all languages.

* Flotsams can now be painted Disco and Jetsams can be turned into swashbuckling Pirates!!

* Bruce Day is fast approaching, make sure you send in all your Bruce Day poems, spotlights, pictures and galleries.

* The Rainbow, Pirate and Shadow Techos have been updated.

* This week's Minigolf Spotlight award goes to Akmpe for their hole - Length of Strength.

* The Darigan Toy Shop has some rather unusual toys for your Neopet to play with.

New darn layout freaked me out when I was RSing.

Yeah, I was playing a game, clicked to the games room and BAM there it was. Horrible, just horrible.

Interesting that they mention premium accounts, but there's no way to GET a premium account - every time I go to the url, it says there's no openings. And they didn't even bother to put a link in the news.

Why have a service and mention it if almost no one can get information, let alone use it?

Well, they bumped everyone's score down to 300.

Haha. Cool, I don't have the ads.

But I'm kind of annoyed by the change in where my NeoPoints and things are.

I'm glad they didn't totally erase all scores.

Why'd they change where the quick ref and all was, if they wern't there I wouldn't even notice the advertisements, hmm, I get the point now.

They haven't released it yet... However my article submission for it was rejected (and it was a real game strategy article, not like that other junk they publish)
