How do we activate characters for the Battledome?
There are many special characters you can get for your single player tournaments. How you activate them varies for each character. Some you may need to complete a certain game, visit a certain shop, complete a quest or something completely different.

Why is my account frozen?
Accounts are only frozen if you break one of the rules of the site. Usually it is due to one of the following reasons:
- Posting sexual or offensive material (language, images and usernames)
- Promoting cheats for NeoPets in your shop, theme park or another site
- Attempting to gain access to somebody elses acccount
- Harrassing other players
If you have been frozen and aren't sure why please contact
[email protected] who will gladly tell you the reason.

Why can't we show videos to our pets?
At the moment the videos are just an item that amuses your pet, just like the toys and games. If you play with your pet it will become happier. Maybe in the future you will be able to see snippets of the videos you buy for your pet but for now you cannot.

Why can't I use my discount card in ALL the shops?
Not all the Shops in Neopia are owned by us. We do not set the prices or make any rules regarding what items people sell and how much they charge. We don't want to force Neopian shop owners to give discounts. If they want to give discounted prices then it is up to them to price their items accordingly.
