We hope you've had a spooktacular Halloween and unlocked the Halloween site theme moments ago if you still needed it. As we're now in November, it's time to collect your monthly freebies!
Donations!
As we said last month, we've reached our goal for 2018 but are still raising funds to cover any unexpected hosting costs and to reduce our fundraising target for 2019. If you'd like to donate check out our Donation page. As a wee thank you, if you donate you could earn one of these trophies for your cabinet!

Lost Desert Map Update + The Great Escape Event Incoming
- Posted by Herdy
- Posted on November 9, 2018, 5:20 am NST
This morning, the maps for the Lost Desert and Sakhmet have been updated to html5!
As with the previous map updates, it seems that the Lost Desert may be getting a small mini-event to go with it. Currently, there doesn't appear to be anything substantial live, but there are some new features. You may notice a new link on the Sakhmet map - Xendrik's Mansion. Currently, while this location adds a lot of new lore, it doesn't appear to do anything.
If you visit any of the shops in Sakhmet City, you will get a popup from the shopkeeper asking you a two choice question. If you answer correctly, you'll be allowed to shop. Otherwise, the shopkeeper will ask you to leave and you'll be redirected out (with the exception of Lost Desert Medicine). The correct answers are:
Peopatra's Petpets: No, I am not.
Lost Desert Foods: 500
Osiri's Pottery: 1,122 NP
Sakhmet Battle Supplies: Here you go
Sutek's Scrolls: Not from Qasala
Lost Desert Medicine: No, I am not
The common theme in these conversations seems to be trouble brewing with Qasala. The Qasalan map itself, however, hasn't seen any updates as of yet.
Update: With the news we got an additional update. An edition of the Lost Desert Daily reveals that there's some kind of peasant/military coup in effect in Sakhmet, and Amira is under house arrest.
Additionally, the page reveals what may be the name of the event. It is called the Great Escape in image urls, but the title of the page is Lyra and the Lost Heirloom. Lyra being the daughter of the Warden of the Lost Desert introduced in Xendrick's Mansion, which also mentions the family's heirlooms.

Neopets Turns 19!

Neopets turns 19 and the birthday celebrations are on!
The Birthday Party is on and you can take part in four very tiny mini-games: (1) break the pinata, (2) guess number of gumballs, (3) make a cake drizzle, and (4) pin the tail on Hornsby.
When successful, you'll receive an item prize from each one. Completing all four will award you the Neopets 19th Birthday Goodie Bag.
There's also a Neocash aspect as well. You'll get to do each mini-game another time when you purchase and activate a Gift Me More Card Pack from the NC Mall:
Activating and using the Neocash card pack will award you a separate exclusive Neocash item.
As per tradition, the NC Mall is also now offering a free goodie bag:

We advise that you complete this mini-event ASAP! The event FAQ states that this event will only be live until Friday, November 16th at "12:00:00 PM NST", which technically means NOON, midday. However, the Neocash event packs state that you can activate packs until November 19th, and the retirement date for the NC packs is in December! We're unsure what's a typo, so you should complete this activity ASAP.
