 Neopets April Fools
We all know that The Neopets Team loves to pull pranks on us on April Fools Day.
Here's a list of pranks they pulled:
|2011|
||Diseased Neopets||
ARGH What happened to my Neopet? He's full of lumps :(
And when I check his Neopet lookup I see this strange button:
What if I went to the
Pharmacy instead? Perhaps they could help me.
I guess not :( Well off to the
Hospital then. It looks like they got a makeover :o
Your Neopet would become ill the moment
you login to your account. You can't
even cure your own Neopet, so you had to
ask someone else to do this for you. All
cures last for 30 minutes.
If you cured someone with Blazingly Hot
Soup, you would receive this Random
Event:
And this background

When browsing the
site, you would find these
hazard signs marking the quarantine
zones.
Bulletins regarding the Scourgies:
The Scourgies even made it into the
news:
At 0.00 am NST all Neopets were healthy
again and the hospital turned back to
normal.
771.449 Neopets were infected, imagine
if this lasted more than just 24 hours
:o

||Battledome 3D||
What's this? A now concept to battling?
Just click on the pictures below to watch the videos
||Prank Warehouse||
Hmz... a new Random Event? Let's check it out... 
You can now play pranks on your friends. All you had to do is choose which prank you want to pull and it would happen to their active pet.
- Disintegrate:
Their pet
would be zappen into a pile of ashes
- Morph:
Their pet would be
morphed into a Maraquan Mynci, Blue Orgrin, Speckled Usul or Rainbow
Tuskaninny
- Slime:
Their pet would be
covered in slime
- Pie: Their pet's face would
be covered in pie. There are five different flavours:
|
Blueberry Pie
|
Custard Pie
|
Mince Meat Pie
|
Mud Pie
|
Pizza Pie
|
If your pet got hit by a pie, you had a chance of getting this neomail:
And this background
I Love Pie Background
Ahhh... you have a funny bone and maybe a bit of an evil side. Your prank has been played!"
If you played another prank on the same person, the last prank would replace the first one.
So if your pet was a Rainbow Tuskaninny and someone threw a Pie. Your pet would turn into their original species, but with Pie on their face.
And to make things even funnier, TNT added a filter on the Neoboards.
Most words related to the Prank Warehouse, so there were some funny topics XD3.14 changed into
Numbers
Ash changed into Bones
Pi changed into Air
Pie changed into Danger
Pai changed into Mud
Prank changed into Ignore
Snot changed into Faerie dust
Slime changed into Twilight
Tiny changed into Huge
Topic changed into Toairc

Posted by TNT on Facebook:
Working on some new faerie stuff and thought you'd want to see. Not final yet, but we hope you like it!
Is it wrong to feel hungry while looking at her? XD
|2009|
||Plantopia||
Got tired of looking at your Neopets, well here's:
And you can even share your views on this subject on the board
They even added a new Random event to make it complete
||Bad economy||
The economy in Neopia got worse :o
Wave goodbye to restocking...
Tombola guy demanded 1np the whole day
The Neopian Second-Hand Shoppe gave out Wooden Barrels for those poor Neopians
And of course a Random Event to show how bad the economy got:
Ever felt so alone on Neopets? Well in 2008 you weren't anymore...
And you thought you could just ignore it and move on...
So after being stalked for a while, you finally gave in...

The shocking results:
You just browsed around the site like usual and got an annoying pop-up from either McGee or Sir Fufon Lui with a "smart" remark. And the more you clicked them away, the angrier
(and bigger) they got:
Some of the remarks:
Bug Eye McGee
- ARR! Ye' tryin' to replace me!?
- Away with ye! Thank goodness I'm not one of yer Neopets; if I were I'd be the saddest little sprog that the seas have ever witnessed!
- Aye, ye terrible monster! I'd sooner be checkin' meself into the Cockroach Towers for a month-long stay than spend another moment in yer presence!
- Y'know, a little appreciation would be nice. The occasional "thanks fer all yer kind advices, Mister McGee" would go a long way.
- I can't be takin' it anymore! If I ever be seein' yer likes again, it shall be to soon!
Sir Fufon Lui
- Are you sure that you want to brave the Neopian wild without an honourable protector such as I by your side? I wouldn't be so certain...
- Why, you cheeky rapscallion! How dare you brush me aside after all I've done for you!
- Fie, I say unto you... fie! What's that you say, you don't know what "fie" means? Pshh!
- You dare to mistreat me so shamelessly? A pox upon your house, I say!
- You're lucky that handsome, dignified swashbucklers such as I would keep you company.

I still miss
McGee every single day, you can't find a more loyal friend :'(
