I just wanted to thank y'all for lasting this heckin long, and for the revamp. I've loved Neopets since i was twelve, and i just turned 20 this year. Neopets has become a hyperfixation for me recently, so i just wanted to send some positivity. :3 ~xxsentriesatsunsetxx

Love the new Dripping in Ink wearable! Given the description mentions a haunted animation studio, I've gotta ask—was that item inspired by Bendy and the Ink Machine? Also, any chance we might see some other wearables based around horror franchises? I'd love to see some Little Shop of Horrors or Gravity Falls nods myself. Thanks! ~crowmere
Hi there! Thank you for the kind words and glad you’re enjoying the new items! If you’re truly bending my arm, I must admit that I am not at liberty to disclose said top-secret information BUT I will suggest that you keep an eye out for upcoming items to see if you can spot further inspirations… ~~ Adler

Hi there! Wizards Beard of Wisdom is set to static and my wise old Yurble can't wear it at the same time as his great big pointy hat. Can you whip up a spell to rezone the beard to Glasses like other beards of that type? ~potential_ruler
Thank you for catching that! We've imbued the Wizards Beard of Wisdom with rezoning magic so that it fits in the glasses zone instead of static. Now your wise old Yurble can have his beard and wear it too! ~~Aesop

Zuigerphobia's trying to rock their maid-like customization, but their Ogrin hair sticks out like a sore thumb while wearing the Ogrin Maid Wig. Is there any chance of getting that fixed? Nothing wrong with Ogrin's mohawk-like mane, but it's completely distracting. ~jalapenojelly
Hello! There’s definitely a chance of getting this issue fixed! We fixed the wig so the back mane of the Ogrin is no longer displaying. Happy Customizing! ~~Goldfish in Bowl

Howdy TNT, A few of us are wondering if we should be prepared to train for something something happening in early 2024? Can you provide us with an answer on this? ~ heads back to the ninja training school ~tigerium
*lifts dumbbell and does bicep curl* It does seem as though Neopia could be facing some formidable foes in the future...

What a fantastic mutated Mutant Day! The Haunted Handmade Doll Outfit is for Mutants only per the description, but is notable missing "Mutant" in the item name. Please amend the name to make it clear this is for Mutant Pets only. (Although it would be great if it could be designed to be worn by regular pets too ;) ) Thanks! ~quailbat
Hi there! Thank you! We had so much fun coming up with these items that we must have forgotten to include “Mutant” in the titles. Maybe our minds had been mutated…*gasp*
Our apologies and please note that this has since been amended. ~~ Adler

Hi TNT! I noticed last week it was said that all of the new Ixi tail wearables were fixed. However, I just tried to apply some different tails on my Faerie Ixi and it's still.. behind...? off to the side? Would love if the Plant tail I currently have on my dear Faerie would fit just as well as the other Ixis out there in the Neopian plains! Thanks so much. *hands you a Plate of Cookies for your time* ~purpleixi_13
*takes the entire Plate of Cookies* Thanks for reaching out to us again about this! Now knowing your Ixi species that is facing this problem, we found the reason behind this issue and it is now officially fixed! Thanks for the cookies! Happy Customizing! ~~Goldfish in Bowl

The Petpet Puddle is still missing the base colours of the following Petpets, and as such these cannot be painted yet into the new colours listed there: Cofferling, Pirakeet, Marbluk, and Tekkal. Can you please add these four Petpets to the Petpet Puddle so we can paint them? ~pasqui_q
Appreciate you flagging this! We have added in the base versions of the Cofferling, Pirakeet, Marbluk, and Tekkal to the Petpet Puddle. Happy painting! ~~Aesop

Hello all and welcome to the very first edition of Quick Questions where we take your suggestions and seek out Neopians from all over the world to interview! For this edition, we have taken one of xxstarl1ghtxx’s suggestions and decided to start with a little fella who hasn’t had someone to talk with in some time, Neopet v2!
Interviewer>Hello, how are you today?
NPv2>I am fine, Doctor… What shall we play today?
Interviewer>Oh um, nothing. How about we just talk?
NPv2>That is too bad! I want to play.
Interviewer>Well, I guess we could play 20 questions.
NPv2>I would not do that!
Interviewer> Yeah 20 is too much for me too, how about 5 questions?
NPv2>Hm, I’m not really sure. What do you think?
Interviewer> I think it is great! Let’s start. What do you think of your creator, Dr. Sloth?
NPv2> Sometimes I get so lonely…that’s why I’d love for us to be friends.
Interviewer> Uhh, that’s not really an answer but okay we can be friends…
NPv2> Do you have any other friends that might want to play?
Interviewer> Umm, not really.
NPv2> That is too bad! So no one would miss you if you were to say…go missing?
Interviewer> I mean I wouldn’t put it that way…but yeah I guess so.
NPv2>Then how about we be friends forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever
Sadly it seems the log glitched there and that is all we have left of the conversation. We tried contacting the Interviewer to see what happened but were unable to reach them at this time…Anyway, we hope you enjoyed this edition of Quick Questions!
We’ll be back soon! Until then be sure to send in any suggestions for others to interview to the Editorial!

*offers a basket of berries* I just wanted you guys to know that I ordered two of the three G-Fuel flavors and the slushie cup as soon as I found out they existed, and they arrived the day before my birthday. It was too late when I got it to want an energy drink, but I look forward to celebrating my birthday tomorrow by finally finding out what Loveberries taste like. Wishing you all an awesome year! ~joyfulcabbage I can't thank you enough times for restoring Neopets to it's (almost) former glory! I truly never thought that I would ever play some of my favourite games ever again - especially Attack of the Marblemen. I missed them all so much. I stuck it out all this time but finally stopped doing Premium, but now I am back on Premium -- all thanks to you new management Neopians. Merci!! ~ifatfirst Well I just loved the Q&A with Adler! Hi Adler!! Welcome to the team!! Glad to have you here!! ~beautiful_grrl_182

Hey TNT! *Throws muffins* Thanks for fixing most of the flash games! While I was hanging around Neopets, I found an item description error. The item "Anklet of the Deep"'s description says "This anklet is too beautiful wear." What it should say is too beautiful to wear." Thanks! ~winky_wocky
Thank you for letting us know! We just added that missing "to" to the description. ~~Aesop

Hi there! The Altador Cup Backpack released at the AC XVIII prize shop unfortunately shares the same name as an item already released way back at AC VI (which is arguably better too as it's wearable.) This duplicated name is creating a lot of confusion for users. Please update the name for this new backpack to help avoid confusion. Thanks! ~quailbat
Hello! Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The most recent one has now been named Altador Cup School Backpack. ~sunpotato

I gotta wonder, since Usukis are strikingly similar to... another very expansive female-centric doll-line, I was wondering who the parent company is in Neopia? ~rubyharmony3
Hmm, that’s a good question! I’ve looked into it, but as hard as I’ve tried, no one seems willing to comment on who exactly owns what in the doll-making world of Neopia…this will require some in-depth searching! /serious ~~ Stone

Looking at the map of Altador, I see a big wall without any gates... How does anyone get in or out of town? ~neo_coaster363
A wonderful question! To most onlookers, it does appear as if there is no entrance through the massive gates surrounding Altador. However, there are intricate mechanisms built into the ramparts that actually open massive stone sliding doors to allow merchants and citizens to come and go as they please. ~~Aesop

Hello! Thank you so much for the new species specific NP wearables! Just wondering though, if you could perhaps fix the Ixi tails? They seem to be placed behind their normal tail, instead of on top like the Blumaroo or Mynci tails, and they are just too cute to hide! ~mizrachii
Hi! Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention! It should be fixed for all the Ixi tails now! Happy Customizing! ~~Goldfish in Bowl

Hi! Thank you for releasing the Brightvale Books Background. It's perfect for Neopet's bibliophiles. Unfortunately, another background with the *exact* same name already exists. Consequently, this muddles the search results for players looking for either one. This also makes it more difficult for both sellers & buyers to get a good feel of both backgrounds' current market values. Please rename the newest background to avoid this confusion. Thanks! Please remove my username. ~Anonymous
Thanks for letting us know! The most recent one has now been renamed Brightvale Bookshelves Background. I hope this helps! /genuine ~~Stone

*i place a comically large UFFH on the table in front of you* what does UFFH stand for? i will subject my grarrl to eating it if i dont find out ~~child2597
An intriguing question, as there has been some debate about this in Neopia! There are generally two schools of thought when it comes to the naming of the UFFH item. Some claim that UFFH stands for Unidentified Fossilized Fish Head, while others say it's simply the sound most Neopians make when they first catch a whiff of it... ~~Aesop

Hi! I can't wait to get my hands on the new Usukicon Goodie Bag and try my luck at getting a Yooyuball Goalie Usuki Doll (goalies unite!) There is an issue with the Usuki Rollerskates though, as "rollerskate" is not a word. This should please be updated to "Usuki Roller Skates" (just like the two skating items released last week correctly use ~quailbat

Hi! I saw a Kadoatie at the Kadoatery who was requesting the Tomato Chia Wings wearable. I know it's sold at a food store but... I don't know if that should really count here. Is it meant to be like that? Or does the Kad I saw just have peculiar taste? (No offense, Whiskers!) ~xxstarl1ghtxx
Technically, the wings are indeed made out of fruits and veggies, so I guess the Kadoatie just wanted to see how they taste! Maybe I'll have to give them a try myself sometime! /half-joking ~~Stone

It's an amazing start and I can't wait to see what's ahead :) Sending you lots of cookies and hugs and wishing TNT all the best on this new chapter for Neopets ~major_flirt8888 I lift my glass to the artists who created the Tarot cards in real life. I just received my set and they are beautiful front and back and love that you included a Guide.

Have some biscuits and borovan. *gingerly places steaming cup and saucer* I'm not sure which member of TNT is running the NT anymore, as I'm returning to the site after a 4+ year hiatus, but I just wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude to y'all. Since the recent announcement of the ownership change, I've seen a lot of transparency that was previously lacking when I left, presumably due to being understaffed/resourced. I'm so glad that y'all are able to get the resources you need to be able to follow through with things like getting the games room up and running, and I hope that more of us oldie players return to the site as the Neopia we knew and loved continues to rebuild. I'm especially excited for the return of plots, as that was something I was usually too young to understand how to do when they were a regular occurrence. Y'all are the best! ~citybound hi tnt! I wrote too long of a nice note about how I like the website now and it told me I had too many characters. You'll have to take my word for it. Anyways I normally write in silly what-if-they-answered-it type things that honestly I'm glad you don't answer all the time (the editorial is pretty good right now I think). but I just wanted to say I'm excited about the future of neopets. I'm One of Those People and all the time I find myself actively enjoying the beta layout (status quo bemoaning the loss of my nostalgia I'm sorry, it was really good to me and I was young). Anyways you guys are doing an awesome job. Thank you. Who would have thought I'd be having so much fun playing neopets when I was 30, when I was 12. :) oh no it's long again! but rock on tnt, good job ~dumbliedore Hi TNT! I've gotten into playing FoodClub recently, and I wanted to tell you how much fun it is! I've really enjoyed learning how it works. It's one of my favorite parts of the site right now! ~digitally_cool The species specific NP wearables TNT have been releasing have been so great! Thank you for your creativity and more NP wearables. ~desaday Congratulations on the new ownership, Neopets! Can't wait to see what you guys come up with, don't let the naysayers get to you too much.

I see a new vitality in the site and I know you are just as excited about it as the community is. Than being said, I saw a request for a pebble P3. How about a Twig P3.

Hi TNT! :) I just wanted to thank you for all the amazing species-related wearables that have been released lately! They are really incredible. I'd like to give a huge shoutout to whomever is designing these; they're clearly drawing inspiration from nature, bringing more natural looking aesthetics to neopets! I am especially drawn to the recent horns(ixi), spikes(krawk) and fins(koi)! I *cannot* wait to see what rolls out for Draik day this September! P.S When draik day finally rolls around, if you happen to release some horns (similar darigan draik horns) in the shade of black/charcoal, I can think of one person and one draik who would be eternally grateful. 0:-) (also please don't zone as hat. maybe earrings?) ~nook

Do the Brain Tree and the Money Tree know eachother? Is that a rude question? ~golf666
Even though it is a tad rude, I'm sure our arboreal friends wouldn't mind me answering it. Despite the fact that the Brain Tree and Money Tree aren't located in the same land, they actually have conversations quite often! The two of them can communicate with each other through a complex system of expansive roots underground that the Brain Tree has dubbed the "Wood Wide Web". Although these communicative roots help ease the Brain Tree's thirst for knowledge, they have never been able to fully quench it, resulting in the Brain Tree relying on Neopets to gather knowledge for him on quests. I suppose that's because most trees are wooden conversationalists! ~~Aesop
