Editorial


Hi TNT! *Slides over fresh baked cookies* I know you are doing the best you can. I am appreciative of you all trying but it seems like we are lacking in communication. I wanted to highlight some specific editorial answers that have not been updated despite assurances. In Issue 952, from January 2022, you said that you will shortly have a roadmap for 2022. Forgive me if I missed it but it is now month 9 in 2022 and we do not have a roadmap for this year. In April, another user followed up and you said you were working on a 2022 roadmap (Issue 957). In Issue 951 you said you would be working on getting rid of boring books. There are even more "promises" that have not been worked on that would be so helped by having a roadmap or being transparent. I am sure we would all be much happier if we knew what was coming or what was being prioritized. Because right now, it seems everything and nothing is a priority. But in reality you are all working so hard. It would surely help the mood! ~~longuylandgirl
Thank you so much for the question! There have been many changes over the years at Neopets, but one thing has remained steadfast: our dedication to giving our users the best experience. Our primary focus for 2022 was to make our annual events as fun and polished as possible. The goal in doing this was to shorten the development time for the following years so that we can use this time to look at the quality of life updates and focus on the features that were promised at the beginning of the year and last. In 2022, we had items pop up that were outside of our control which pivoted our emphasis on updating security systems. With a small group of developers, shifts in direction have a tremendous impact on how we prioritize and plan for the future. TNT remains highly dedicated to making Neopets the best they can be. Many things need to be updated, and we appreciate you submitting tickets when items are incorrect and challenging us to improve things. ~~Yarner

Hi i love the new Chocolate Cake Background! However I noticed in preview that it looks like it should be zoned Background Item as opposed to Background because the white space behind the cake is transparent. Can this be rezoned please? i'd love to pair this delicious cake with different tasty backgrounds! ~~kougra_luver246
So glad you love the new Chocolate Cake Background! We agree that swapping it over to Background Item instead is a fantastic idea! We’ve rezoned this wearable to Background Item so that white space above the cake can now be filled with scrumptious backgrounds! ~~Aesop

Can you please change the way we attach petpetpets(p3s)? It takes soooo many refreshes and even then it may not attach! Now refreshing too much comes with the risk of being banned from the site!!!!! How are we suppose to attach them if we have to worry if the next refresh will be our last we ever see of the site???? Can there be like a special p3 place we go to attach the p3? Like a p3 animal shelter? We bring the p3 and pick which pet adopts (attaches) it? We need a solution ~~_sissiy_sis_369
Hello! This is something were currently working on and hope to have an update out for it in the near feature. Until then, please keep your petpetpets by your side <3 ~~Sunpotato

Hello, Can you please tell us if there will be a sale for Premium Membership this year? Thanks so much. Shares cookies with you all. ~~c_butterflykiss
Hello there! Yes there will be a sale this year for Premium Membership. We are working on a new payment solution for Neopets which has caused delays in us moving forward with the sale. We appreciate your patience as we work through this development. ~~Yarner

Can you please fix the name of the "Cool Negg Meera Shoes"? Last I checked the species was still "Meerca"... Thanks! (please remove user name if published. FYI the other items in the clothing set were correctly named so all good there.) ~~quailbat
Thank you so much for bringing that typo to our attention! We’ve corrected the naming error on these stylish shoes. ~~Aesop

Howdy! Not sure where to suggest this, but... I love the pride tapestry wearables. Can you please pass on to TNT that I'd love if they made an asexual pride tapestry? Thank you! ~~boscoemax
We can’t tell you enough how much it warms our hearts to see so much joy come from the pride items! Thank you for your suggestion. We’ve added it to our list and will be starting on more soon! ~~Stone

What happened to the Faerie Festival? ~~unlaced_
Unfortunately, due to issues outside of our control, our development team has been focused on making Neopets safer for each of our users. Once these issues have been resolved to our liking we will move forward with the Haunted Mansion and the holiday events. We still have the Faerie Festival event planned and ready for development and we are very excited for you to see it once we can fit it in! ~~Yarner

Hello~ would you consider releasing some new battledome weapons before the end of the year? Maybe for the Advent Calendar? We've only had 5 total released in the last 2 years. Some more middle-tier weapons for people who enjoy the player-run fun leagues (which average 8-13 icons) would be great. ~~kuroneko_kitty
I'm happy to report that we are planning on releasing a few new Battledome weapons for this year's Advent Calendar, so you'll certainly see them before the end of the year! ~~Aesop
