neopets.com I&Ss

This page is a list of feasible suggestions for the site that myself and other neopians have come up with, mostly through threads I have posted on the premium Charter Neoboard. If you have had any ideas for the site, such as new items and for ways in which existing content can be improved, then please neomail me (sorry if my inbox is full) and I will add them here. If you think any of the ideas that appear on the page may not work, or could be abused by scammers, then contact me and I will look at it.

If you agree with any these suggestions and you would like TNT to get to work on them, let them know! You may copy and paste the idea(s) into one (or both) of the forms linked to below.
Automatic Submission Form - Ideas/Comments
Editorial Submission Form
Please include the following text when contacting TNT and paste each idea underneath:
On PteriKnight's petpage, there is a list of ideas and suggestions for the site that users have suggested and discussed on the neoboards. Please could you consider implementing my favourite suggestion(s)?:

Below are the ideas...

Accounts and Userlookup

Users should be able flag their side-accounts as being so when they're created, or later mark them as such on the preferences page. These accounts are then automatically blocked from collecting dailies, creating shops, participating in plots and any other pages TNT chooses. Games and contests would remain enabled so that game-avatars can be won, but neopoints and trophies will not be received when sending scores. All of this should help find cheaters and stop the honest users collecting freebies when not realising that they're logged into their sides.

The UL shields have been forgotten about. Wouldn't it be great if the age of the account appeared as text underneath the shield instead of as part of the image, so that (similar to how avatars work) for every month we are on the site a new shield is added to a list on our UL edit page? That would enable us to choose a shield that we like, or matches our layout's theme.

Animated UL shields.

PIN required to remove:
Petpets
Trades
Neodecks
WC maps
Editing userlookups, guilds (including admin), pet descriptions and petpages.
Are there any more pages that need protecting?

A record of sent items in the item transfer log and neomail.

Sub-accounts' for children of adult players to use. They would be like any other account, but the parent account would be able to block access to areas of the site that they choose and they too would be alerted if any rules are broken.

Battledome

Team Battles for users with more than one strong neopet - working in the same way as the fights do in NeoQuest II. The Meerca Brothers make good opponents.

Co-op Battles for friends who want to team up and battle incredibly strong opponents.

Suggestions for new 1 Player Battledome opponents:
Replace 'Inflatable Balthazar' with 'Inflatable Sloth'.
Aaa
Adee the Chia
Beast from Tyrannia
Bug Brothers
Grundo Leader
Monocerous
Potgatkerchi
Swamp Ghoul
Yurble Foreman

There are not many reasons to fight the 1P BD opponents. A nice incentive would be some kind of prize for beating a 1P opponent a certain amount of times, or be randomly awarded. Winning one of the BD weapons that are exclusive to that opponent would be good, such as Boochis Ray Gun, or a Rubber Chicken from the Chia Clown.

Monthly HST for 1P-BD.

Customisation

Clothing for all pets:
Altador
Brightvale (Renaissance)
Circus Performer
Fire-Fighter
Gnome
Grandma/Grandpa
Neovia
Ninja
Police
Teenager

Themed wearables:
Cheese
Sponge

Games and Quests

Announce the closure of the last Lenny Conundrum, Mystery Pic and Better Than You contests in the regular day's news, but start the new contest at a random time that same day. It would give everyone in different time-zones a better chance of being one of the first entrants with the correct answer.

Collectible/TCG card HST and trophy.

Monthly Kadoatery HST and trophy.

Monthly Underwater Fishing HST and trophy.

Monthly Employment Agency HST and trophy.

Provide the names of foods on our gourmet foods list to avoid confusing items that use the same imagery.

Make booklists viewable to others like gourmet foods are.

Better organisation of the WC pages and a direct link in the Game Room.

Stat rewards for doing faerie and kitchen quests given to our active pet only.

A Library Faerie Quest that raises intelligence stats, maybe asking for neoschool items and books.

Mute button for all games.

Pause buttons for:
Gadgadsgame
Gummydice
Volcano Run II
Web of Vernax

Update the stock market area. Being able to arrange our portfolios by certain attributes would be a nice addition.

An annual site-wide racing tournament, like Yooyuball.

Rewards or trophies for the amount of grand master ranks at the end of the month.

When viewing a game's high-score table, it would help if our own high-score appeared on the same page.

It would be nice to be told what place we came if we're amongst the first 250 to solve the Lenny Conundrum.

It's a little unfair that pets in the Beauty Contest get user's votes just by posting on the neoboards first or advertising more. What TNT should do is have a space under each entrant's image which displays three randomly selected entries of the same species. This would increase the chance of users voting on a pet that they feel deserves it more.

General Site and Portal

New portal themes:
Plot-inspired

Give premium users a special 'site feature trophy' and make it gold when they become Charter members. It could link to the premium cards page that displays activity. They could then be removed, as the cards serve no purpose.

A purpose for premium cards.

Remove 'unfair' colour changing random events (Boochi!) that we have no control over. Either that, or the ability to switch off all REs.

Add the Council Chamber, Lunar Temple and Meteor Crash Site to the portal dailies bar.

To be able to send the same neomail to more than one person at a time. A max of five at a time maybe.

Larger event-icons, or place them on the white page area or sidebar.

The 'news' navigation-button to change colour when the day's new features are announced.

To be able to hold more than 50 items in our inventory.

Increase the character limit for posts and the description forms.

Provide larger fields on some of the coding pages, i.e. neopet description.

Free passage to Lutari Island for premium users.

Character count for neomails.

Extend the time we can keep our pets in the Neolodge.

Users are alerted each time we sign in if our e-mail account matches our neopet's username, yet portal members are allowed to link their webmail with their neopet's account. This should be blocked to ovoid any more premium users from losing their accounts as has happened in the past.

An advanced Shop Wizard search where words can be omitted from the search results. For example, when searching for Codestones, omitting the word 'Plushie' will prevent the Codestone Plushies from appearing.

The default petpages are out of date and need to be rethought. General information for species can already be searched for (Acara) and the specifics of a pet can be found on their lookup. The homepages are still an important feature for users though.

The HTML guide needs redoing. Specifically how to use style tags to edit the new (easy to code) layout.

A 'Go to NeoHome' button in the action window after you've moved furniture from your inventory.

If TNT are erasing an account, all of the 'special' or retired items in that account should be sent to the Money Tree, or a one-visit-per-month shop. That way, some of the most valuable or retired items on the site aren't lost forever.

Just like how the portal-modules work for premium users, regular players would like to be able to select which modules load on the homepage when they first sign into their account. The 'News Flash' module would be a necessity, but others like 'Notable Neopet' and 'Daily Puzzle' could be optional, aswell as others like 'Item Event Log' and 'Stock Portfolio'.

There's a lot of items that TNT have announced on the new features page over the years that have never gone into circulation. Over the course of a themed week, instead of creating more items, the content-staff should finally start activating them. Not only would it make a LOT of players happy who want items they have seen and know exist on the servers, but also put an end to Illusen & co asking for items that aren't available.

There's an Elite Boutique in the NC Mall that sells exclusive wearables to older accounts on the site, but a free 'Veteran Pack' containing items would be a nice reward also for those of us that have supported the site for so long and have remained unfrozen. We missed out on the Newbie Packs that are now given to all of the new players.

Tarla's Toolbar doesn't work on Macs. Please fix that TNT.

Player's lose access to the NC Mall if they travel oversees, even though they may be able to in their home country. Can something not be done about this?

We need an easy-to find link to our pet's list of eaten gourmet foods. The Quick Reference page?

Guilds

A link on the guild's sidebar to go straight to your last post on the message board.

Log any changes to the poll and record the results of the last closed poll for members to see.

A picture of our pets don't yet appear with our posts on the guild message boards as they do on the neoboards.

Items

Gallery themed items:
Gallery Map
Gallery Wall-Mounted Map
Gallery Information Desk

I think it would be great if TNT made all cards from the Neopian Gift Shop cheap, one-use items that work in the same way as A Mysterious Valentines Card. In the action window, before sending them to our neofriends, we could write a personal message that would be sent with it. Once it is read at the other end, the whole lot will disappear in a puff of smoke. A larger range of neo-related cards would be good. What other cards would you like to see?:
Clear your inbox!' Card
Happy Gadgadsbogen Day' Card
Great Trade' Card
Thanks for the Loan' Card
Congratulations on your New Neopet' Card
Hope Your Neopet Gets Well Soon' Card

In addition to the greeting cards idea, being able to send regular items in a giftbox with a message would be sweet.

Collectors would like to see more [Special - r101] album items (Wock Til You Drop Stamp) released through REs or as prizes in competitions.

When collecting your prize for completing a World Challenge map, a poster version of the whole map (example) should be included.

The ability to send a large amount of items to a neofriend, like the quickstock. To protect our items from scammers this function must have PIN protection.

A Spork of DOOM BD item. You know, one of those spoon-fork hybrids that you get in some fast-food restaurants.

Buffalo Chicken.

More Swimming Pools for our neohome/garden. There's only a Lost Desert Scarab Swimming Pool at the moment.

Neoboards and Avatars

The backgrounds of neoboard topics that we have posted on become a different colour or are marked somehow. That way we can find all of our posts and read the responses we received.

A block or mute button which would hide posts from annoying or antagonising users.

Choice of having a drop down list with secret avatars in alphabetical order.

The board-maker's first post should appear at the top of each page of their thread so that those that jump straight to the most recent posts can still see what it is all about without having to load up another page.

New smilies:
All species in their four basic colours
Altador Cup Team Logos

A search feature for the neoboards so that players can get answers to questions that have already been answered, or find an existing topic that is relevant for their comments.

Neodeck

A 'quick remove form' so that those with lots of collectable cards in their deck no-longer have to remove them one-by-one.

Neohome

Balconies would be a nice addition.

Neopian Times

An editorial search feature.

Pets, Petpets and Petpetpets

More simple colours and patterns to paint our pets:
3D
Dung
Gingerbread
Ice-Cream
NeoQuest PB
Space/Kreludor (like Faerie Grundo)
Valentine/Loved-up (opposite to Grey)

A big job, but it would be nice if all pets had artwork for when they're bloated and ill.

More Lutari colours.

Give our pets much more individuality:
Favourite foods (not just disliked foods) that raise happiness.
Do they have to like all kinds of grooming and toys?

Less petpet species, more colours:
Fire Ganuthor
Maraquan Angelpus (catfish)

A spider/scorpion species (Nikondrak?).

Uses for pet's movement and intelligence stats.

A few more 'smiley' petpets like the Smiley and Frowny.

Fuzzles as petpets.

Plots

A prize of a free Faerie Fountain visit.

Darkest Faerie plot.

Wand of Wishing plot.

The Guildmasters' Dinner.

A new Maraqua plot. The ocean is a big place. :)

Pound

A change to the pound so that neopets don't appear in their painted form. We would choose a species to adopt from a drop-list and then choose the pet to adopt on the merits of its name, personality, stats and price. The pet's lookup will need to be blocked, but states that it is currently up for adoption.

We should be able to donate food and neopoints to the pound, to help the pets that are there. It would help curb inflation too.

Allow newbies to adopt just one neopet in their first month so that neopets aren't left in neglected accounts.

Some pounders would like to leave an anonymous note for the person who gives the pet a home.

Pets that have been pounded and are not adopted for several months (because it has a horrible name?) should be deleted from the system to save space on the servers.

Picture verification when adopting a pet to prevent auto-adopter programs.

Shops and Galleries

Cheaper gallery space, or a fixed rate once reaching a certain size (size 50?). After all, we pay the same rate as we do for shop space, but they are created to make profit and galleries are done for fun.

Just as shops are, Galleries by World search should be organized by size to reward those who put a lot into their collections. To stop those with incomplete or junk galleries from appearing near the top just by buying lots of space, more space should only be able to be bought by users when all the space is filled. This will also save space on TNT's all-important servers.

Galleries need a rating feature like pets have. The score could be used in the advanced search feature already suggested here. To get a fair and accurate result, only galleries that have at least 20 votes should appear in that kind of search.

Search feature for blogs.

Link to the blogs page on 'The Marketplace' Module.

Better organisation and consideration of gallery pages and its links. I have a large amount of items in my own gallery and when I use TNT's link to galleries I get taken to the 'all items' page that takes ages to load.

To be able to organise items in shops like we can in our galleries.

The option to auto-sort items in our galleries alphabetically, or by rarity or type.

Being able to choose one of our pets to appear as the shopkeeper in our shop and/or gallery would be particularly nice for those who have customised their pets.

A lot of space is taken up in the marketplace by shops owned by frozen or inactive accounts. It would be nice for shop-owners that are spending a lot of neopoints on upgrades to get into the marketplace if those shops are removed from the marketplace.

Trading Post

A 'buy it now' option for your TP lots so that those that need an item quickly for a quest can buy it even when you are logged out. To protect sellers who enter the wrong amount, it isn't activated until they confirm the amount after it is appears on the TP.

A log page for traders who have had their offers accepted or rejected.

At the moment, a smiley TP alert appears when a lot that you have offered on is closed - it would be preferred if it was a sad face.

Raise the maximum amount of neopoints that can be offered on a TP lot. I would lower the number of sellers that place items in the auction with high increments just so the item goes to one pre-arranged user.

Players who have bought capsules from the NC Mall may end up with a lot of multiples of the same item. A trading post just for NC Mall wearables would be helpful.

Training Schools

To be able to remove pets from courses if they haven't already paid, but you would be banned from signing up again for a short time.

An event icon for when a course has been completed so that trainers are alerted and can put their pets on another course.

Requested mini-worlds:
Bogshot Village
Cogham
Knights Keep
Market Town

Give our pets much more individuality:
Being able to wear the clothes that we buy.

Quickstock for moving furniture to our neohomes.

I'm looking to borrow a 'Bony Grarrl Club' and 'Super Attack Pea' for 5 minutes. Neomail me if you are willing to lend.
I am also giving out invites for premium.
