April Fools Jokes

Why this page?
Every year on April 1st The Neopets Team tries to pull everyone's leg by changing something to the site that is rather radical. For example in 2006 they told everyone they would have to start paying taxes for every page load. We decided to start making a log of TNT's April fools jokes, starting April 1st, 2007. From the years before 2007 we've tried to gather some information to give you insights in the older jokes.

With the navigation below you can go through the April Fools of previous years.

April 1st, 2004

In 2004, TNT told everyone that their new trading card expansion set would be called Quiguki Armageddon.

This is what they put on the front of the site:

QUIGUKI: ARMAGEDDON!

QUIGUKI: ARMAGEDDON!
We are proud to announce the third exciting NeoPets TCG set. Fight the forces of darkness and save the sacred Quiguki homeland of Quigara.

This is what was put on their news page (note: links such as the Neopedia article named 'The Story Of Xanstalon' and How to Draw guide have been removed from the site by Neopets).
