I believe it's only available to premium users. They get a Space Faerie Scratchcard every Friday. :)

A premium user is one who pays to play on the site. Premium users get certain benefits (ie. on a different and less crowded server, free SC every friday, beta testing, avatars, etc).

Go to premium.neopets.com

But be aware you have to PAY FOR IT (70 bucks for a year)

Well it's a bit confusing, but I got portal access a long time ago on my main account... Which was wierd because I didn't download the toolbar.
And I did the 15 day trial for the webmail which eventually expired.
One day I noticed that even though I couldn't check mail anymore, I could add side accounts, so I entered my secondary account, and that account got full premium access. Cool huh :)

Premium does get the Space Faerie SC every Friday, you can't do anything but scratch it and hopefully win something ... usually around 250 or 500 np, the the chance to win an orbulon (sp?) or a SF pen, etc.

Beta testing of some of the new games - without the ability to send scores, but we do get to send "bug" reports if we find problems.

You get 1k np once a month for being a premium member, a chance at SHH (something has happened) -- usually a lottery win (small np and maybe an item like a book or plushie), things like that.

Avatar - currently the only avatar Premium gets is the I Love Neomail, which many people have just by sending a neomail saying I love neomail (had it before I had premium). Supposedly with the new referrals, if a certain number of people do sign up and stay after the 15 day free trial then we get a special avatar.

We get the premium board, which is nice (except when it's not - like any of the boards).

There are no ads with premium. I know you can get Firefox with adblocker or use a style sheet for IE (which made my computer crash), but the difference is with premium the ads aren't d/l in the background even though with the other methods you don't see the actual ad.

To my knowledge Premium is NOT on a separate or faster server. We get the same DFM page as everyone else when the site goes down, we get the same lag when the site's lagging or too busy, we get the same items/np lost as everyone else too. So I really don't think that we are on a separate server. If we were, I don't know that we'd be having the same problems as the rest of the site when things act up.

What may be on a different server is the portal and the webmail -- but that's really run by another company (I believe). And even that can act up where people can't access their portal or mail pages.

Premium also doesn't mean you can't/won't get warned, suspended or frozen or that if you are frozen you'll get your account back faster. Just an FYI.
