Controversy

Many users disliked the idea of paying real money for items that expire in 180 days. The Neoboard subject NC mall is often full of people protesting this idea stating it breaks the promise that Neopets will be a free site.

Trivia

• During the official opening of the NC Mall, the image link in Neopia Central had animated flood lights and a giant float of the Green Scorchio as a large line strung out from the shops entrance.
• The most expensive item to buy from the NC Mall is the Down With NC Flag, pricing at 5000 NC points, while the cheapest is I Heart NC Flag, priced at 25 NC. This is an obvious joke on the part of The Neopets Team, requiring users who want to proclaim their dislike of the NC Mall to buy the most expensive item.
• Category and images descriptions were added to the item categories on September 15, 2007, in order to better explain their content to users.
• On September 18, 2007, the NC Mall became available to English users in Singapore, Australia, the United Kingdom and other countries.
• A special giveaway for Neocash Crds began on October 17, 2007.
