This is the NEW FEATURES page. To keep you up to date, 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.

• COOL FEATURE - Now when you get an event at the top of the screen, there will be a 'Show All' button. This lists all your events so you can delete them one by one. Handy for the person who has lots of Neofriends!!
• After receiving lots of cool comments about the new look trading cards we have decided to turn the most popular pictures into greetings. Now you can send your friend Bruskotter, Balthazar or even the Faerie Queen. Also we have added lots more Seasonal cards ready for the Winter season. Click here to look at all the designs.

• Added a new caption competition - click here to enter!

• We added some more Poems today. Also, the prize for the Pictures is going up from 200 to 1000 NP!!!
• We are thinking of doing a limited edition run of Neopets soft toys, so you can actually own your Neopet in real life! Our question is, would you be willing to purchase one from the Web site? Please tell us your answer by clicking here and fill in the poll on the bottom right hand corner.

  Soon you can own me in real life!

  Yeah, like anybody would want to adopt YOU!

• We have spent the last week ironing out all the bugs in the Battledome, and it's going to start its Alpha Test today. Watch this space!!! Despite the wait, we hope you will think it's worth it!

• We also added a new messageboard type today, it's Role Playing. If you want to post there, then all your posts have to be in character. Otherwise you get a strict telling off!!!

• NEW CHALLENGER - This reclusive genius has decided to join the fray! Find him and get a new opponent for the Neopets Battledome!
  
• Legends speak of a hideous beast, despised by Neopets all over Neopia...this beast had to run away and take refuge in the woods, where no pet could see its deformed face. If you can find it, legend also speaks, that it will challenge you to a battle. Can you overcome your fear and begin the hunt?
• You can now relocate your shop to the Haunted Woods! To go to the marketplace, please click here.
• Christmas Pets - There is a new paintbrush out today! Can you find it? If you find one you can turn your pet Christmassy at the Rainbow Pool. Click here for the Happy Valley Merry Outfit shop to see all the new pets!
  

• IMPORTANT NOTICE - Yesterday we had to delete an entire guild and freeze about 20 people for hacking accounts. Please do not do this. It is in total violation of our terms and conditions and makes a lot of people upset. We also find it pretty easy to track down. If you hack, or help hack into somebody else's account, then all of your accounts will be frozen permanently. If any guild is set up for the purposes of hacking, it, and of all of its members will be also frozen permanently.

  Remember - The way people find out your passwords is usually by setting up fake login pages on other sites. Never EVER type your password in on any page other than the Neopets Login page. If you see any fake login pages have been set up, tell us. We will contact Geocities, Tripod, or whoever, and get the offending person removed from both their system and ours.
