Neopia has been mad collecting avatars, which caused the inflation of a lot of items which can get you the avatar, such as the Orange, Halloween and Grey paint brush, add the Island Paint brush as well, morphing and transmogrification potions, HT items, TCG cards (these are a new set of items in Neopets, following the release of the trading game card [true to life items]), some collectable cards (Fire Paw and Kasuki lu), blue evil fuzzle, nerkmids, bag of peanuts, snorkle snout (this was the snout item that esophagor asks for) etc.
A lot of downgrades occured, battle ducks are no longer the popular items in Battledome. TNT has released a bunch of prize weapons from wars, and from redeeming TCG codes (you get codes to redeem virtual prizes every time you buy a pack of Neopets TCG cards). And now, everytime you finish Neoquest 2, you get a weapon from finishing it. Strong weapons for those who will finish the Evil and Insane modes.
BOOM and SSGS hit 0 in the Neodaq. MPC, the meridell potato company, debuted at the stockmarket.
Trades are now canceled (put back to your inventory) after 2 weeks of creating them. Auctions system has been revamped--you can't withdraw the NP you bid until the auction of the item is finally finished.
A lot of new games debuted, the popular ones are the Whack a Kass and Freaky Factory. Some games also offer avatars when you get good scores (or hit the high score on them) like Math's Nightmare, Ultimate Bullseye, Korbats Lab etc. They retired some games as well. They added this feature of being able to play retired games in the halloween section of neopia.
Several Defenders of Neopia missions were added, I think now it is on mission 13.
I don't know if you were here then but they now reset high score tables at the end of the month to give chance to people to earn more trophies.
Lots of glitches occured, rollbacks and missing items from unequipping them (BD items).
Lots of items redrawn. Too many to mention.
Lots of new items as well. New PBs also, like the Snow petpet and pet PBs, maraquan petpet pb, dung petpet pb. Grey pbs also make pets look sad.

So far, that is it, it is a bit tiring to write them all. LOL. Sigh, I should apply as a Neopian news brief writer, too bad they retired that neopian times section. lol.
