New Features in Neopia [Split 1]

New Split! Original thread here

A board for news items or changes in Neopia that may result in a event, plot or updated maps or content on Neopets.

Example:

Monday 18 April - Cooking Pot on Mystery Island - Error: Sorry, Mystery Island Cooking Pot is down for maintenance! Please try again later!

News 19 April - It seems that Jhuidah was in need of a little R&R after letting the Mystery Island Cooking Pot boil over! And while our cleanup crew comes through to deal with the mess, she will be taking a little vacation to get back into top form. Stay tuned and don’t fret - she will be back before you know it!

New Beta Release notes today...

Bug Fix Release 2024-03-14 wrote:

Bug Fixes
Pet Care - Down with boring books! We are trying to break from a long-time Neopets tradition of your neopets hating things for no particular reason.
NC Purchase - Improved NC purchase and redeem process. Users should see updated NC balance swiftly.
Premium Subscription - Fixed a scenario where premium perks were not updated and synced with renewal date.
Neoboard Reporting - When reports are made on first post of a Neoboard thread, a fix was made to ensure the report does not have issues and gives feedback.

Y'all. This is HUGE.

Books are no longer boring. Toys are no longer boring. Foods are no longer yucky. Petpets are no longer "get that ___ away from me!"

So...maybe those with longer named pets are less affected by this than those with shorter named pets. But...my 6- and 7-character-long-named pets have always been hit hard by these things (since it also includes any multiple of the number of characters of your pets names). I've been switching languages to get books read to my primary book reader, but that only worked with items before a certain date. No more switching to Chinese to read a book! WOOOOOT!!!

ETA:

There's a new avatar available at the Grundo Warehouse. It was the end of a couple-months-long puzzle that was apparently happening on social media (I totally haven't had time for that). The code is:

Yay! Free stuff! Thanks for the code.

I usually immediately use my latest and greatest received avatar. I still did, but almost did not - the grey faerie is awesome.

Thanks! I don't have the bandwidth to follow them on social media. If it's not on site, it's not happening for me.

Same here, and that includes social media-adjacent sites like Discord. The posts here at PPT are infinitely appreciated. I cannot express enough how much they are truly appreciated.

Looks like we have a rough time frame for the old account purge, per this article that came out yesterday:

Quote:

Neopets fans who have not visited the site in recent years are encouraged to log in ahead of an upcoming website cleanse scheduled for October, a month before its 25th anniversary, which will see the removal of accounts that have been inactive for more than 10 years. This purge will set the foundation to re-release petnames back into the pound for new owners to love!

So....if you have any friends who haven't signed into their accounts for a long time, or any accounts you want to try to recover, best to do so sooner than later!

I have lost a few side accounts and "parked pets" because I no longer have access to the email accounts to which those accounts are associated. Also, my primary email provider (that I have had for almost 30 years) rejects the incoming automated emails from Neopets, so password reset requests never come through. Fortunately, I was able to move my main Neopets account email moved to gmail (which does work).

You *might* be able to get them back now, if you submit a ticket. No guarantees, but I know that they're doing something for people who don't have the associated emails anymore, at least, last I heard? Depends probably a lot on how much you still know about those accounts, etc.

While I know the account names, and maybe the email associated with them, I do not know the birthdate associated with each. When I set them up, I picked semi-random dates :/ At least I learned from this and have settled on a "standard" (not my) birthdate

I also failed to make them Neofriends, so I cannot look up their ages to at least guess at the year.

Frankly, it may not be worth the effort to get them back. I do miss my Garrl and Hissi, though. Their names made me chuckle. Of course, their names would not work so well if they were zapped into a different species. That account is coming up on 20 years old. My 2nd side (15 year) might be worth getting, but there's no way to reset that password, either. The two pets on that account have awesome names

I suppose that I can note their names and after the purge, create new pets with those names. It isn't like their ages make a huge difference.

A few more things were updated in the newest patch release notes:

And then there's this little gem when you visit Coltzan's Shrine...

Blue · **Posted:** Thu Jul 11, 2024 8:21 pm

Came here about the Coltzan avvie. Not sure if it's a 7/11 only avvie. Grab it today!

This is not in the actual Neopets news (yet?) but it's a huge thing: You can now cancel trainings at the Mystery Island Training School for NO penalty. Meaning...if you don't like the set of codestones it asks you for, cancel and try again.

I mean...this would've been huge back in the day for me, but not so much now. Secret Ninja still has the 24 hour cooldown requirement. My kiddos are tickled silly.

Codestone prices are going nuts. Eos are plummeting, Mains and Bris are going up. Eesh.

That is great news!

Disease cures are also going through the roof. MyPet got Neoblues yesterday from the wheel of Misfortune. Healing springs didn't help. The usual cure was ~300k and the ointments have doubled in price to ~100k in just the last 2 weeks. Fortunately, I had one ointment in my SDB.

Heads up!

Hi Neopians! Apologies for the late notice, however, we will be having downtime tonight (8/20) starting at approximately 10 p.m. NST which may continue until tomorrow morning (8/21) at 8 a.m. NST. Thank you for your patience!

Wonder what all they're going to be fixing? Maybe the mess with the Voidworks? Or maybe nothing related at all. Guess tomorrow will likely be a 2-hospital-shift-day for me, unless it's up sooner than they're saying (or unless I'm up late).

Well... it was enough to prevent me from finishing my void battling yesterday

*sigh* oh well. What's 150 plot points, anyway?
