  1. I really thought it was April Fools for a second there. A Neopets TV show? Something like this was already highly unlikely back when the site was in its prime, so for it to happen now... wow. It's gonna be aimed at kids but that's to be expected, and I don't really mind since kids' shows can be fun. What actually worries me is Beach House Picture's portfolio: mostly puppet shows and a couple of animated series that don't even show up on Google.
  2. Interesting! I'm gonna start fighting Walein too and see if the rewards are better. If I weren't lazy I would make an excel document with the items I receive over time to confirm which battledome opponent is better Edit: So far I've noticed that the codestone rewards are pretty consistent when I fight against Walein. I always seem to get 5-6 codestones, whereas with Koi Warrior I may get 2 codestones one day and 9 codestones another. However, I haven't gotten that many red codestones with Walein: I only got 2 after five days, whereas it's not uncommon for me to get 2 red codestones daily fighting Koi Warrior. So I think I'm gonna stick with the Koi. This post has been edited by a member of staff (Duma) because of a violation of the forum rules. Please don't double post.

  3. Apart from what Nielo suggested, maybe you could try visiting the NC Mall, if you haven't already done that? Sometimes (and for whatever reason) your NC balance doesn't update until you visit the NC Mall.
  4. At first I thought this year's Advent Calendar (or rather, last year's) was the weirdest one to date, but I went back to the archive and watched some of the animations for previous years and... it turns out that the AC has always been random and just plain weird. It's just that now that the animations are longer the weirdness sticks out more But it's true that they get cheaper each year. I feel ya, Robin, I swear at least 75% of the remaining Neopets fanbase is playing the game out of habit at this point, including me. Best of luck to you!
  5. As far as I know, the Grundos stopped being Sloth's prisoners after he was defeated during The Return of Dr. Sloth plot (that's when Cylara and Gorix were introduced). The description for the Space Station seems to support this:
  6. Last year when I created a Hissi, I decided I was going to paint him Brown. However, when I saw that Steampunk Hissis were already brown AND they came with some fancy clothes, I went for that colour instead. But it turns out Steampunk Hissies have this weird... thing on their head that you can't remove and it drives me crazy: I regret painting my Hissi Steampunk because of that. So I'm taking advantage of the dream pet giveaway and asking for a Brown Hissi 'cause brown paint brushes are surprisingly expensive
  7. I like how we always get lots of wearables from the Advent Calendar, but it's usually just trinkets (foreground items, backgrounds, etc) and not clothes you can actually put on your pets (shirts, jackets, shoes, gloves, etc). Hopefully this year we'll get at least a couple of clothes.
  8. I don't know if anyone here has been following these videos, but since I couldn't find any threads about it, I figured why not make one. So there's this guy called tamago2474 that started a series called "The Neopets Experience" on his Youtube channel. Basically it's about him playing Neopets for the first time in years and giving his thoughts on it. They're all pretty high-quality videos that give insight into the pros and cons of this half-dead website we all like to play, with a lot of humour mixed in The guy's goal is to play every single game available on Neopets, taking breaks every now and then to explore other aspects of Neopets (customisation, the Battledome, etc). If anyone's interested, here are all the episodes so far:
  9. Ooh, you guys. Maybe everyone here already knew this, but I just found out that the items you donated for this year's CC count toward your Rubbish Dumb avatar discard count. If you donated a ton of stuff, go to your inventory, manually discard one more item, and you'll get the avatar: Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Rubbish' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!
  10. Wait, what? No item prizes this year? That sucks... Oh well, at least they kept the NC reward. I also really like the trophy: Although I don't know what a quill has to do with the event... They usually run a script that gives out the prizes to users in alphabetical order, and sometimes they even subdivide users in batches. I see that your username starts with an "x", so you might have to wait a little bit, especially if you weren't in the first batches. Alternatively, try going to the NC Mall and see if your NC balance changes.
  11. I got this one: It's not that I don't like it, but it gives me AotA flashbacks. I do like the shiny golden shield though. I'd say this one's my favourite: Weewoos are adorable! And I love how with each month the shield gets even fancier
  12. I for one won't complain about the extra week. Gave me enough time to (somehow) make it to 21500 points.
  13. I feel like the lag takes away from the NQ experience. I remember having a blast when I played NQ2 for the first time years ago, but I can't imagine myself playing it again with this lag.
  14. For anyone who's still donating, check out these tips: This makes the process so much faster. I had actually tried using the TAB key to donate just like last year, but I was hitting ENTER instead of SPACEBAR (cause I'm an idiot) and I thought that trick didn't work. Turns out it does! Also, I never would've thought of going back on my browser. I'm now at 10k points. 1k more to get all the perks I want.
  15. Yup, I am. The problem is that I ran out of items to donate, so I'm buying those 1-point keychains from the Obelisk War prize shop: Just like I did last year. The thing is that having to buy the items first slows down the donation process considerably, and I'm already tired of it. That's why I'm surprised at my past self for being able to donate 20.000+ of those damn keychains Guess I ran out of patience (then again, patience has never been a virtue of mine)
  16. Good lord, how did I make 30k points last year? I have 5000 points and I'm already so tired of donating... I have to keep going though. I want 10k at least.
  17. I don't feel the tingles, but I'm obsessed with ASMR and all its different genres: whispering, tapping, scratching, mic brushing, ear cupping, mukbang, serial killer victim role play, you name it. I just find it so relaxing, and it helps me fall asleep at night. If you like ASMR with animals, may I suggest some good ol' cat purring?:
  18. Yeah, the NC component of the event is coming. But I was referring to the perk that gave you NC in exchange for points: Which does not appear in this year's perk shop
  19. The good: Some of the new perks are pretty cool We'll be able to spend our leftover points from 2018 on this year's perk shop The bad: The new method of donation is a major pain in the butt. Points are not being displayed properly "Atsumi" is just Mirsha Grelinek with different clothes No NC perk this time around?
