Latest Neopets News

I know a lot of resellers are not happy with this but I actually fully support this for so many reasons.

-People buying from bots has surged to an all time high. It's so easy to see who is buying from bots. Any efforts to deter this are very welcomed.
-There is always some players who, after a rotation of some kind happens, buys up the entire supply of any valuable items from the last pool and inflates them significantly. If they're only able to earn 100m from trades each day, it can reduce their buying power to normal amounts so they can't mass-buy everything anymore. This will help keep prices of items lower over time.
-The bots themselves use the TP to facilitate bulk transfers across their accounts, so the less neopoints the bots can transfer to their main accounts, the better.

I really hope they add neopoint limits to shops and auctions next. Like idk somehow get rid of junk auctions and make it so you can't put 1000 junk items at 999,999 neopoints in your shop to get 1b instantaneously from the bots. This is absolutely the right direction to go.

Yesss, hopefully this will prevent bots and people abusing trades!!

I appreciate the optimism but I genuinely don't think this is going to be the fix we're hoping for. Given the number of highly expensive items in the economy, a 100m NP cap doesn't actually solve the inflation problem... it just shifts it.


How often are 100m+ items really changing hands for pure NP anyway? For resellers like me, and even the bots, this isn't going to reduce buying power. It's just a structural shift in liquidity. Since item transfers are completely untouched, the top end of the market is just going to pivot hard to using stable, highly liquid ETS items as proxy currency to bypass the cap entirely.

All this really accomplishes is forcing expensive NP deals into janky junk auctions, or making us rely on strict grading scales for item bartering. The major players will adapt their asset management overnight, and the bots will just start transferring physical assets instead of pure NP.

Casual and hardcore players are penalized once again.

I’ve been seeing—especially at auctions—accounts that look legitimate but are clearly fakes, buying junk items for millions upon millions of Neopoints. They’re likely serving as slush funds for resellers operating outside of Neopets.
They could check these limits in the auctions as well; that would deter the people who sell Neopoints off-site.

Feels like this will bump up the price of cool neggs, sneggs, super neggs and pbs up

This seems like all it will do is inconvenience normal people and force scammers to act through NF auctions instead of trades. Also incentivize item trading.

Why punish normal players?

Ngl that acct seems like a shell obtained in 2024….

I have looked around and can't find a clear link about where to send in news tips. 😅 (I'm on mobile though, maybe I missed it?)

Anyhow. Polygon posted an article about a Neopets/Fortnight crossover: https://www.polygon.com/neopets-are-coming-to-fortnite/

Personally, I can't see...... well, I just can't see It

Guess I'll just, never get It: how there are people who can deal with so much money, or much more confusing to me yet, so much cool neggs, like they are actually that easy to generate. I just don't see It.

makes me wonder what the AH changes will be. I could see them doing the same np limit, or even limiting the amount of items you can put up for auction each day.

I never deal with the TP enough to be too concerned about this limit to be honest. I rarely come into items that are expensive enough to warrant being sold on the TP versus my shop.

100mil is still a LOT of NP. I'm glad TNT is taking action to try and thwart people who sell things off-site and whatnot.

TNT never think it through, don't they? They can't see how abusable this daily receiving cap will be.

A seller can trade with their sides to reach the daily cap first. After that, they can list an expensive item at a lower price, no one will be able to buy it from them because of the daily cap. Other players may see the lower price and adjust their own pricing. Even JN may pick up the false price. After that, the scheming seller can just use their sides to scoop up these low-price lots.

i like the intend, especially after seeing how quite a few users that are quite active on the boards somehow managed to snag my 20m+ items the literal second i started the trades, but i think this is more of an overall nuisance than a fix, considering that most of the really expensive stuff is dealt over the auction house, so i would have prefered if they waited for this until they have the auction house updated.

I'd be ok with this if they updated the auction house to work better... it's still a pain in the ass to try to sell expensive items worth billions. When I got my Super Attack Pea, I had to do a pretty big overpay in rare items, because the seller refused to do junk auctions unless it was someone they already did big trades with in the past.

No.

stormmonarch sounds very right to me. It sounds like a system that can be very easily abused and I see a lot of issues with it...
Personally, I'm not affected that strong because I rarely engage in such high priced items, but my initial react is worry for exactly the reasons stormmonarch said.

@godzilla1: In my opinion, it can affect anyone. The items do not have to worth 100 M. For example, a seller can first reach the daily cap. After that, they can list a 5 M item at 2 M. Other sellers may see this price and adjust their pricing. After that, the scheming seller can buy all the lots at 2 M.

Not a perfect change but I can see the long term goal behind it. Hopefully it helps.

Nah this is a terrible idea

People buying NP are (presumably) doing so via junk shop sales over trade lots, right? I don't see how this has a real anti-RWT effect!

TNT had been on a good run as well!

@LordPlaza - yes, because auctions and TP lots are easier to trigger flags, even if you use a VPN/proxy between accounts.

I lost some accounts years ago because I did an NF auction and didn't cover my tracks. (Before anyone asks, no, I don't do RWTs anymore because most of my money is in Pokémon cards. )

I don't understand the reasoning behind it. If you can still just use the Auction House to receive more, then what's the point of this cap? How is that an anti-cheat?

But also, you'll have to do several auctions if you're selling something over 100M, or use other tricks. So it's not the smartest thing to say on their part to just simply use the AH if you're selling more expensive items. Yeah, maybe for an actual auction, which probably never happens for items that are that expensive. For straight up selling, 100M is the maximum price in a single auction too lol.

Also, a note on the Auction House article, it still mentions the old 2M TP limit

I think they'll live. lol. someone said its going to ruin the economy.
i personally think its great. i only go to the auctions for higher priced items, like intended. never junk auctions,

i dont trust them, i think its sus. just take the NP and do an auction? Junk auctions arent technically allowed anyway, and TNT will not give you your NP on the TP if someone doesnt honor their junk trade. (because they arent allowed)

i read the comments and i dont understand the problem at all. BOTs and cheaters are crawling on the TP. (and auctions, but hopefully thats fixed next)

@imaginationodd13 - The reason you "don't understand the problem at all" is because you're overlooking how the Auction House actually functions.

You cannot "just take the NP and do an auction" for . The Auction House has a hard, built-in maximum limit of 100m NP per auction (50m max starting bid + 50m max increment).

If a player is trying to sell a Super Attack Pea, a rare stamp, or any item worth 200m+, how exactly do you propose they sell it "like intended" in the AH without using junk auctions or item bartering? The game mechanics physically do not allow it.

That is exactly why people are frustrated. TNT is bottlenecking the Trading Post and telling us to use a system (the AH) for high-value trades that is mechanically incapable of handling them without the exact sketchy workarounds you just said you don't trust.

Just to put into perspective how out of touch this limit is with the actual Neopian economy: right now, Jellyneo has over 50 items with an explicitly listed price of 80m or higher.

Beyond that, there is an untold number of "Unpriced" items in the database... ultra-rare stamps, old plot prizes, high-end TCGs, and obscure r99s .. that easily eclipse 100m. Some of these routinely go for 600m to well over a billion Neopoints.

If you are lucky enough to get a high-tier weekly quest log reward (gz), or if you've been saving for years to sell a massive gallery piece (gz), selling one single item for pure NP means your Trading Post is effectively paralyzed for the next 24 hours (rip).

You can't even accept a 2m offer on a morphing potion without hitting the cap.

A 100m cap doesn't stop billionaires from existing, nor does it stop bots (who will just automate trading in proxy items like Cool Neggs).

All it does is punish legitimate players who finally hit the jackpot, forcing them to jump through convoluted, risky hoops just to access their own wealth.

People make several 100 mil trades, do you propose they make more, 1 bil on the TP?
I dont think the person selling a Super attack pea is an every day occurrence. this is to deter cheating, and the complaining about "what about the limit at Auction houses because you can onlyy do 100 mil at a time!!"
At. a. time.
You can only do 20 mil on TP, max 100 mil a day. RELAX.

This is a 24 hour limit.. on the trading post. of 100 mil....
You can still trade on the AH. Each 100 mil.
Oh, wont someone please think of the billionaires!

This is super annoying as someone currently clearing out their sdb lol

@imaginationodd13 You can't chop a 600m item into six pieces to auction it off 100m at a time.

You said earlier you don't trust junk auctions and you're so right; they are super sketchy. But because the AH maxes out at 100m, selling one expensive item forces you to use those exact same junk auctions to collect the rest of the NP. It’s not about defending billionaires. It just sucks that TNT is pushing normal players into risky, scam-like trades instead of just giving us a safe way to sell high-value stuff.

This whole mess is exactly why the TP and AH limits should just be completely removed.

​If an item is worth 500m, we should just be able to type 500,000,000 into a box and hit accept in one single, safe trade.

Scammers literally rely on these artificial caps because it forces people into those sketchy, multi-part junk auctions you were talking about.

​Bots and off-site sellers don't care about limits. These caps only punish normal players who gets a lucky drop and just wants a safe, straightforward way to cash out without getting scammed.

@dave: This is a problem TNT created for themselves. The old TP has a limit of 2 M, and people didn't use it to transfer a large amount of NP due to the hassle. NP transfer was previously done by shop or AH, and this "anticheat" just makes people return to the old way. Therefore, I don't see a point of praising TNT for fixing a problem they created.
In addition, this "anticheat" allows market manipulation, as I mentioned in another reply. It will affect everyone, not just the people who are trading 100 M items. It will affect JN pricing too.

This is just silly. They should make it a max of spending 100m if anything, not receiving...

So I guess this explains why yesterday I couldn't buy a high value book I was interested in, and it kept giving me the "hold your kadoaties" message. I didnt make any TP sales yesterday so I can only assume that the other player selling the book already made 100m for the day, so I wasnt allowed to buy it. Yay. This is so helpful already.

You know, to add on to this, isn't there already a much lower limit of pure per trade on the TP? Reaching the 100m daily limit will take at least 5 trades even with Premium, and 10 without. It is already much more convenient to use auctions for anything above 10/20M. So again, what is the point of this? What does this change? I'm just baffled.

coffeecup24 all day long!! Everything you said. And the normal Joe is getting punished.
