Neopets Birthday Specials

Sun Nov 02, 2008 2:23 am

The start of November is the month of Neopets 9th Birthday.

Buried Treasure is only 150 nps for the month and actually will be free to play on Nov.15 (birthday).


Other goodies to look forward to on the 15th:

Birthday Site Theme for the day (with increased random events)
Send 5 scores instead of 3 on games - usually runs for the whole week
Wheel of Excitement will only be 75 nps to spin
Obtain the Birthday Avatar

......and who knows what else TNT will do.

Which of those apply to when you have the birthday sidebar on your own birthday? I know that you get:
Birthday Site Theme for the day (with increased random events)
increased probability of random events

Is there anything else?

Not as far as I remember. For our birthdays, we just get the site theme.

Cooool, I forgot about the 5x games thing! Can't wait for that to start, though it'll be a bummer because I have a lot of tests and quizzes over the course of their birthday week so I might be too busy to play everything. (assuming the "week" starts on their birthday and goes through the following week? Or do you think it'll be the whole week before?)

The buried treasure thing will be neat too. I never got that avatar, and have only tried like twice. Maybe now would be a good time to attempt it.

Wheel of Excitement should actually be 0NPs all day on the 15th...then 75NPs on the 16th. :)
Don't forget free training at the Swashbuckling Academy for all species!

Also, last year, they reset the monthly freebies on the 15th...so if you haven't claimed yours already this month, do it now - just in case they reset 'em again!

I wonder if TNT will do anything with Keyquest or the NCMall for their birthday?

<excited about the upcoming events> :D

I got nothing at Buried Treasure and had fire breathed at me from the WoE. Gee thanks, Neo! But I did get a light faerie quest that went to my lab rat, who really needs the level. And threw all my qualifying pets into the academies. And played all my games 5x. (I liked that one!)

Just wondering if anyone else can't get Expellibox to load today? I've never had the problem before. Tried turning on and off Adblock, refreshing, it just... doesn't come up! Was wondering if part of the birthday coding may have wonked something up.

Expellibox worked OK for me.

Looks like they didn't reset the monthly freebies this year. Ah well.

For those who are making the most of the free WOE and Buried Treasure...Might I recommend the the NeoTimers that Neodaq provides? :)

Wow, that's kind of sad.

I think this is the first time that I've ever taken advantage of the specials on a Neopets birthday.
