It is back again to spread the holiday cheer! Most Neopians save up to get their dream Neopet... and we wanted to give you a chance to win yours for the holidays. Visit the Holiday Dream Neopet Giveaway page for a chance to transform one of your Neopets into your dream colour and species! If you are one of the lucky ten to be chosen, you will wake up to your Dream Neopet on Day of Giving morning (Dec 25th)! :) |
If you don't know what to choose for your dreampet, why not have a look at our Rainbow Pool?
Also, you mighty have noticed the pretty wings you got from the Advent Calender look slightly different now:
Advent Calendar Prize Update - Remember that whole Real Negg Faerie Wings NC prize on Day 6, where they looked like another item that was already given out during the Negg Festival? Yeah, sorry about that. We'll be replacing the newer, duplicate wings today so they'll no longer be the same. Hooray! The name will change this afternoon, and the art will update later tonight/early tomorrow morning. Sorry again for the duplicate. The Real Negg Faerie pulled one over on us because he's sneaky like that. |
They are now called Homemade Lavender Faerie Wings.

You can now sign up for premium for $ 49.95 rather than the usual rate of $ 69.95. In former years people who already had a premium subscription could get a $ 20 refund. It does not seem to be that way anymore even though something like it is mentioned on the news page this does not appear to work. People are being told that cancelling the subscription and resubscribing will get them the holiday price, but that does not seem to work either.
Price discount is on first year of membership only. User will be billed $49,95 for first year of membership then automatically renewed at the regular rate of $69,95 each year unless membership is cancelled. |
Existing members can upgrade to get the new rate by visiting Manage Membership. |
Are you a premium member and do you enjoy writing guides? Our Premium guide needs a complete makeover. If you'd like to help with this and other guides, look at our Apply for Staff page for our Guide Writer position.
Edit: People who have send in a ticket about the subscription issue are getting the following respond:
Thank you for writing about our 2012 promotional holiday Annual Membership plan! We are looking into this for all users who are currently on the regular annual Membership plan. We hope to find a resolution soon, and will get back to you again for an update shortly. Please note that all current regular annual Memberships cannot be modified / prorated / refunded. Thank you for your patience! |
Thanks goes to people on the Charter board for sharing this information.
Edit 2: You can now upgrade your Premium Membership to the 2012 Promotional Holiday Annual Membership Plan.

Please model this item for us so others can preview it at our Dressing Room.
Fill my stocking please?
While waiting for the stocking to fill, why not have a look at the past prizes in our Stocking Stufftacular guide?
Update: Prizes are being handed out, but they seem to be the prizes from Day 10.
|
|
Update 2: The correct prizes for day 4 are being handed out. No word yet on what they plan to do with the day 10 prizes they gave out earlier in the day.

An unreleased snowglobe has been found. Thanks to people on the NC Mall board for posting it. It would seem TNT would like to make us all broke this Christmas season ;)
Who needs to buy Christmas presents for family when you can buy pretty snowglobe items instead!

I wish someone would put stickers on me :(
Make sure to take a look at our other winter graphics as well.
It would be a big plus if you're also able to update our Advent Calendar guide. So then a little knowledge of HTML would be useful.
If you're interested, please have a look at our Apply for Staff page, and fill out the application form. Please make mention of the Advent Calendar in one of the fields if you're interested in updating that as well.

For those of you who purchased the entire Daring Duos Collection and have not received your bonus item, don't fret! We are aware of this issue and we're looking into it. You will be notified via Neomail when the item has been granted into your inventory. Thank you for your patience! |
