Winter Starlight Celebration

Welcome to the Winter Starlight Celebration, a monthlong salute to all things seasonal! While the night air might be chilly, the comforting sounds of nearby carollers and warm sentiments of those gathered at this holiday jubilee more than make up for the frigid climate. During your visit, you'll find that there's plenty of winter-themed things to see and do. Keep in mind, however, that this celebration happens just once a year, so make the most of it while you can.

The 'Winter Starlight Celebration' page is up, it just hasn't been mentioned on the news yet due to the long weekend. The Snowager is hibernating again, too.

Neodex coverage is here and here as per.

Thanks for the reminder! I was able to claim today's main prizes on my Droid, but not the Nova prize. Hopefully I'll remember when I get home in several hours.


Also, big thanks to Jelani for keeping the NeoDex up to date!

ETA: Got the Nova :)

Day 3: Mint Explosion Ice Lolly

Re: Advent Calendar 2013

Tue Dec 03, 2013 4:19 pm

I got a Dung Snowflake from the nova today. I remember someone on the Neoboards saying yesterday that they got one, and it was worth 55k; the Jellyneo items database records it being worth 24k yesterday, and now it's about 9k, so presumably a lot of them have been given out, although there do not appear to be that many on the shop wizard.

Re: Advent Calendar 2013

Tue Dec 03, 2013 4:20 pm

Apparently today is Mintuesday. Minty Vanilla Ice Lolly for me.

Hmm, I wonder if today's video was a hint that TNT plans to re-elevate Faerieland some day. I would think they'd wait until they finished redesigning all the other parts of the site, but who knows. It could be a fun mini-event.

Re: Advent Calendar 2013

The return of Maraqua was foreshadowed by an Advent Calendar clip in 2004, so I would not be surprised.

Also, look at how bad the animation used to be, goodness.

Edit: But don't just take my word for it, using the power of being the oldest Neopets fansite still in existence, we can actually travel back in time nine years and see people's reactions to it first hand.

"Good animation, all the bands together." - perhaps our standards were just poorer back then, or maybe we're too spoilt now.

Re: Advent Calendar 2013

It is exciting to think TNT have planned an update to Faerieland. The animation suggests it will be re-launched into orbit.

The prizes themselves say "Get Well Soon Faerieland".... a very weird thing to say! Definitely a clue!! LOL.

Today's Random Prize:

Snows of Neopia

'That one was easy to read - do you have any more!'

Snows of Neopia vanishes in a puff of red smoke!
