To keep you up to date with the ever-changing Neopets, we have decided to create a page that lists everything new that we add to the site, so you know what's going on! Keep checking this page for updates!

14th January

• Fixed a whole host of bugs in the Battledome, such as text appearing twice in a battle, non-activated abilities in the drop down list, and some other little tweaks here and there. Watch this space for more Battledome news!
• Faerieland has opened up its latest attraction, the Faerie Bookshop. This library of magical volumes will help your Neopet gain intelligence, and they have the ultimate in magical protection - when you read them they vanish and reappear back in the shop!
  
• Added loads of potions to the Neopian Magic Shop, including LOADS of healing potions for the Battledome!!!
• We also added another 12 Morphing Potions. These are much much more expensive however!
  
• The Water Faerie has now started selling limited healing items in her shop! Click here to visit!
  

• Increased the number of items you can equip your pet with from 7 to 8! We also made the Faerie Quests *slightly* easier to complete.
• Now you can go to the Faerieland Springs to heal your pets at any time! Cool huh? The Water Faerie's magic will help your pets be better competitors in the Battledome.
  
• It is rumoured that the Queen Faerie has a store of artifacts in her tower in Faerieland... artifacts are like magical items, but so much more powerful. One item that has cropped up lately is the Cement Mixer. This rarity 200 Battledome Weapon will create a Stone Snowball on every turn. Can you find it? :)
  
• We did loads of bug fixes around the site today, and also tried to get it running faster. Sorry its been running quite slow all day, we will be adding more servers to speed it up as soon as we can.

COLOURING GAME - The Faeries have just released a new game in which you can paint a pet different colours, frame them against different backgrounds, and then print it out! We have done a couple of pets so far and will be releasing other types soon. Check it out by clicking here.

We added some cool Kiko toys into the Toy Shop! These ones are waterproof, and the colour won't run when you play with them in the bath.

The Neopets Battledome has been up for the past 12 hours or so with no problems (other than a few minor bugs that we are fixing now!). Over 19,500 matches have been played so far, we hope you like it, there are lots more features to come! We have added a FAQ to the main page which should answer most of your questions. Click here to read!

11th January

• The Randomise-A-Name when creating a pet now adds three numbers to the end. There are so many pet names gone that otherwise it was impossible to randomly generate one that wasn't taken!
• Added some more NeoDolls to our Link To Us section.
• Some Scorchio Plush Toys have been added to the Neopian Toy Shop. Apparently there is a problem with demand... it's almost as if some monster has been stealing and hoarding them!

• Two more characters have been added to the Single Player Battledome! Here are their pictures, see if you can find out where they are! :)
  

• We added a new Site Spotlight today!
• Now you can keep track of all the books your pet has read - just go to Quick Ref, and click on the word next to 'intelligence'! Remember, reading makes your pet smarter!

10th January

• IMPORTANT - In order to give everybody a chance with the Flash games, we have now limited the high score tables to one entry per person. If you beat your previous score then your score will change... only your best score will register per game. We had to wipe all the high score tables to do this however, but we hope it will be fairer overall.
• Three more Neopedia stories went up today. Learn about Lilac Island and how it was created!
• NEW BATTLEDOME ITEMS - Some of these new items are only found in the Ice Caves, but they have new powers never seen before in Battledome items.. such as the Genie Orb that can create snowballs for you, or a magic wand that can destroy your opponents items! Good luck finding them! All items are rarity 110+!
  
• Added a new level to the Ice Caves, poor old Garon, he must be so tired by now!
