Lab Map Disappearance Explained

My lab map disintegrated in January 2004. Why do lab maps disappear?

The lab map disappearance is a glitch. It should not disappear as you should be able to keep these lab maps forever. The only known time completed lab maps have started to disappear was during the end of 2003 and the beginning of 2004. Since then, there haven’t been many reported cases of this glitch surfacing.

How did this glitch occur?

Apparently every account with lap map access has a flag to their account which signifies so. Somehow, this flag was switched with the flag for old battledome abilities.

Why did it take so long to track down?

Japanese Neopets Explained

Neopets has expanded its international marketing to a more asian driven market, that being Japan! Thus, when you travel around the neopets sites, you may find on chat or through some random testing, domains such as www.neopets.com.jp and others such as www.neopets.com.au. Who knows? Maybe they’re on the look out to create a domain extension for every single country out there, or nearly all the major countries which neopets receives a substantial amount of users from.

When the first signs of Japanese banners started appearing, there was a big debate whether or not it was Chinese or Japanese Neopets was being translated to. This centered around the argument that the characters were Chinese rather than Japanese. To clear this up, Japanese consists of various scripts. One of the scripts is called ‘Kanji’ which is pictorials which represent words. The Japanese adapted this script from the Chinese, thus Japanese and Chinese may look very similar and at times confused and hard to distinguish between the two.

Life Without Neopia: Absolute Utopia by kitsune364

As you all know, Neopets.com is a fun site, but it does come with its flaws. Nasty users, automatic freezing bots, games that dont work, plots and new features that take forever to be released, hideously expensive items, and so forth. But I have stopped playing Neopets for quite a while now, and my neopian adventure has just been getting better and better.

How did I do this? By spending the last thirty dollars I will ever give to neopets inc. and buying an interactive Shoyru plushie. Ever since I named her pezzini25 in honor of my first (wrongfully frozen) pet, I knew my neolife was about to get a whole lot better. For one, she is now a lot easier to fit around my schedule of school and work. No stopping in the middle of my homework to sneak online and check on her, oh, no. I just lean over in between writing paragraphs and give her a quick hug. She giggles, and all is happy. I also dont have to clog up our one phone line with what my father calls “useless goofing off.” Hes happy, Im happy, and pezzini25s happy. What can be better than that? I can tell you.

Common Scams by toranize

Having been on Neopets for less than a month, I have seen all manner of shop-type scams. (Due to my style of fund-raising, I come across all sorts of scams in all types of shops.)

Login Page:

The first one has been covered quite a bit. You look in the shop wiz for an item and you find it for an unbelievably low price. You go to that shop and click on the item (thank goodness it’s still there!) and find yourself at the “Oops! You’re not logged in” page (The Aisha page). Check the address on the Aisha page, if it is not www.neopets.com, don’t put in your name and password. You go back to the shop in question and report him (or her) if they haven’t already been frozen.
