Editorial

What has happened to Meridell? All my favourite games have gone and we'd only just got Bullseye back!! - Magnacarta28?
I guess that is what happens when a war goes through the land.

Just how long has Neopets been around? I mean, the exact date it was up and people started adopting pets. Also, what was the first pet and petpet? - Roxannegirl12345 ?
We launched the site on the 15th November 1999, although we had been working on it for a month or two before that. The first pet was a Grarrl, followed by the Scorchio. The first petpet was the Angelpuss.

It would be great if you could somehow tell me how the JubJubs use their swords. I am doing a picture for the b/c and I wanna know how they use them.
They rather cunningly hold the sword between their feet while jumping. It really is quite remarkable :)

I have seen pictures of a Faerie Aisha plushie on some neopets fan sites, but it has not been released. Do you ever plan on releasing it, because its really cute! - Sazza_kitty007
We may do yes, although it is a different style to the current Aisha plushies.

I just found out that shoyrus are the most popular pet, but they have the least stuff. Same with Zafaras. Why is this? Do you have something against them? - Shoyruslove2play ?
We don't have anything against any particular pet, its just hard to make sure that every pet has the same amount of books, bd items, foods etc. Every pet has its special day and we will make sure that on that day we add as many different items and paint brush options as we can.

How much does Kadoatie cost and where can I find them? - Starlitenight456?
If you are lucky you will pick one up in the Petpet shop (in Neopia Central). Their starting price is 18,000NP although it may vary depending on inflation. They are very rare so you are probably better off trying other player's shops.

What in the Snowagers beard does El Picklesaur say in Whack-a-staff member? When you hit him it sounds like something tigersquash! - Hknhkn ?
He says "Give me Tigersquash" in spanish.

Is it against the rules to use multiple accounts to do Snow Faerie Quests if you didn't create them just for that purpose?
Yes, using anything that is meant to be played once a day (such as the Snow Faerie Quests, Tombola etc) with more than one account is against our rules and you could be frozen for it.

When I first started collecting cards for my Neodeck there were 4 Elephante cards... but now there aren't any!!! Could you please make more Elephante cards?
Sure... its Elephante day soon so we will put some out then.

I have noticed that you can get a bath tub and a stone sink but why cant you get a toilet for your Neohome??
Good point... we will have to add those or it could get very messy in your Neohome :)

There is a card called Cerbekus that has a three headed Lupe, but I thought that Lupes name was Luperus? Is the three headed Lupe Cerbekus or Luperus?
It is Luperus.

You said that the Birthday Cupcakes (ie. Crunchy Snot Birthday Cupcake:-)) would not be going on sale again. Now they have dropped from 10-30 thousand NP to about 20 NP. Are they going to be in the shops from now on?
The cakes are on sale, but they are super rare. I have retired them now so their prices should rise once more.

I only managed to figure out the Rock Negg.. what are the names of the newly released neggs that came along with it? - Oinkypree
Glass Negg, Candy Cane Negg and Christmas Pattern Negg.

How come Gelerts have boots helmets and even shields and wands but no armour? - Texasangelgirl
They will have armour soon...

Is it true that if you don't log on to Neopets for a certain amount of days that you lose your name?
No, once you start an account it is yours forever

What is the name of the potion for Aisha's that was created on Aisha day? - _Lurin_
It is an Aisha Transmogrification Potion and it is sold in the Magic shop.

Will the new Neopets voice activated toys come with rare item codes? - Jaygrippa
Not at this time, however we do have a new *secret* Neopets product coming out in February that will have them.

Do you guys think you are going to make a game for the GBA or any other game systems such as Neoquest on the GBA or Nequest 2 on the GBA? - Nightmare274
Heh.. we can't tell you much at the moment, but there are console games in production at the moment. We will give you more details as soon as we can.

Does anyone among the Neopets Staff celebrate Chinese New Year? If yes, will you be making neopets items for the occasion? - Karenmae13?
Yes. We will not be creating items, but there will be special greetings and an art gallery special.

What does it say on the back of the Jelly food shop banner? The faded letters... it seems to say: "Look Sall Wobbly" what does that mean? - Dlfreak?
It says looksallwobbly as in looks all wobbly (like a jelly).

I went to the Neopian Fruit Machine today and there was a *giant* picture of a Ghostkerchief saying 'BOO!'. What's that all about? - Ishtyquartz
It was just a random event, I guess the Ghostkerchief was a little bored.

I can't find any Furniture Shops apart from from the Tyrannian one, can you help me?
There is one in Neopia Central, Faerieland and the Deserted Fairground.

How come there are no faerie snowglobes for the dark and air faerie or how about Illusen, Jhudora, or the island faerie will they be coming out soon?
You bet ya!

I was wondering if you are ever going to make Island Kois? After all, they are water creatures. - atlantis1604
One Island Koi coming up :)

Why does the Chia totem has four arms? I thought Chias only have two! - Flutterpurr
I guess the sculptor used a little artistic license when creating that one...

Will there still be half price day in Year 5. I read on the website that was Year 4 tradition.
Yup Half Price Day is here to stay.

What is the use of Neggs? I gave one decorative Negg to my pet and nothing happened. They say Negg can increase strength etc. is this true?
It all depends on the type of Negg. Some are just foods, others give your Pet a special bonus when they eat it.

The bunwich appears in the crossword puzzle and you can search it on the shop wiz but no one actually appears to own it, Why is that? - Jetsamsule31?
It is a special item that can only be made at the Cooking Pot. It isn't sold in any Neopian shop.
