The Possible Disappearance of Adam by luckystar

Over time Ive developed a felling that Adam who Is one of the founders of Neopets has left in the last few years or so. How can that be? Well today Ill try to explain what makes me think this.

Do you remember the whole Guildmasters’ Dinner plot that never happened? You could tell that things werent right, it kept being delayed and you could tell that tensions were high within the office. Analyse the following quote from one of the editorials from the Neopian times.

Are you ever going to finish the Guildmasters’ Dinner? – Coww_coolie_o4
I have updated the guildmaster’s dinner. Unfortunately we do not have time to finish it, it was bad timing on our part. A lot of unforeseen things happened both work and non-work related that prevented us from completing it. Now it is better for us to move on and make sure it never happens again.

Donna Williams Twin Skies Interview by Dave Moyer

With Donna Williams and Adam Powell no longer working at Neopets, we caught up with Donna to catch up on what she has been up to. Turns out she and Adam are working on a new MMORPG called Twin Skies (now on hiatus while they release Vikings, Pirates, Ninjas).

Keep reading to find out what Donna thinks about present day Neopets and find out more about her current projects.

What was the inspiration behind Twin Skies?

Adam and I were talking about what races would be cool to play, we threw around some initial ideas for settings and backgrounds and it came from there. There wasn’t a big moment of realization or anything like that. We just got more and more excited about it as time went on so we decided to develop it further. There are some REALLY cool races planned by the way!

Easy Money For Average Players by Daniel Posner

Sometimes in Neopets the chocolate factory has Red Pteri Tails. They are bought for 1500 and sold for 3000. They are the longest lasting + 1000np item (at the time of writing 26th March 2005).
Do snow faerie quests lower than 4000np for some eventual moola.

If you have a fast computer you can search the wizard for cheap codestones. I got one for 200np.

Play easy games for your style like Turmac Roll and Chia Bomber for active neopians and national neopian for typers. Here is a list of good easy money making games and their payoff.
