Earlier on, we posted about the new Mystery Capsule event that is currently being held in the NC Mall. Now we have put together a guide about this event, The Case of the Mini Mystery Capsules which has more info about it!

The current Mystery Capsule selling in the NC Mall is the Argyle Mystery Capsule. If you open it and you're lucky, it gives out the Mini Argyle Mystery Capsule.

Are you still following this?


When you open the Mini Argyle Mystery Capsule, you'll receive one of the following bonus items, Candy Cane Path Background or Gingerbread Wings Shower.






We are still looking for both a png and flash preview for the Gingerbread Wings Shower. If you happen to have one, please let us know! :) Thanks to kelbie23 we now have one!

It looks like Neopets is down at the moment. Hopefully the site will be up again soon.

Edit: It looks like someone gave the DFM Pteri an invitation after all, since the site is working again!

Well would you believe it? Today is SunnyNeo's 5th Birthday! Half a decade ago, the SunnyNeo that we know and love today was officially launched to the Neopian public. You can find out how SunnyNeo came to be on our history page. Ever since we have been providing visitors with helpful guides and goodies. And the goodies don't end there either, we have lots in store for you to look at today alone, so let the celebrations begin!


For all of you Altador Cup fans we have a special off-season report waiting for you to read! If you want to find out the Altador Cup celebrities' favourite venues for a party in Neopia, this is the article for you!
 

For Customisation enthusiasts we have something special as well! If you'd like to dress up for party, why not do it now? To give you some ideas we've dedicated a page with party customisation suggestions for all kinds of different celebrations!



In other news, SunnyNeo's Graphics Department was super excited to discover that a batch of Birthday Themed Graphics needed creating in order to get the party going. The team set off with their favourite crafting tools in hand and began creating a bunch of Birthday Themed Goodies for you to indulge in. Enjoy!

No party is complete without balloons floating all around the place, brightening up the mood of guests. To help those party planners out there, we have made a new Party Themed shop + gallery layouts to help prepare for any upcoming parties!


There are so many balloons to pick from, I just don't
know which ones to choose!

Or why not jazz up one of your layouts with our Birthday Themed Background, Fake Avatars, Shields and Art Adoptables?


  
 
 



We all love to hear your compliments, it's like the icing on the cake of a hard day's work :D. The Testimonials page is dedicated to some of the kind words we receive about SunnyNeo. After five years, that's a lot of friendly feedback.


You may even want to join the SunnyNeo staff! Blow out the birthday candle, make a wish, and check out our Apply for Staff page for any open vacancies.



A big thanks goes to  itself for being entertaining all of this time (not to mention inspiring many to learn HTML and CSS to make their Neopets pages look cooler!) and for the users who band together to work together on Neopian plots etc. The list goes on! SunnyNeo is proud to have been (and still be) here to offer a huge array of help, art and more to the community. There will be many years of awesomeness to come from both!


Three cheers for SunnyNeo! Three cheers for Neopets! Keep on rocking!


Can I open it now, please?

Hooray for Usukicon! Lawyerbot's favourite day :)!

TNT has released a new Usukicon Goodie Bag for Y13. Our NP Customisation page will be updated if it contains any new wearables. This can be obtained from the Toy Shop in Neopia Central Bazaar.


I bow to you!

Remember to check our Treasure Keepers guide for extra tips if you're playing in Open Beta.



And in NC Mall news:

LAST CHANCE! This weekend is your last chance to join us for an extended holiday in our latest two-stage MiniMME (Mini Mysterious Morphing Experiment). Hurry in to the NC Mall to get your MiniMME today! What will your item morph into? Find out by visiting the NC Mall!

Be sure to check out our NC Customisation pages for all available fashions :).

TNT has announced a new Dr. Sloth auction! There's another rare stamp for you to bid on to further finance his Grundo Reeducation Center - Mystery Island Grarrl Stamp.

We heard rumours that Dr. Sloth was stranded on Mystery Island once. They say he didn't realize the island was inhabited and spent many weeks talking to a Red Bouncy Ball he named Bob. The latest stamp in the Grundo Reeducation Center auction could be connected to this very rumour, or it could all just be a coincidence... In which case, the story we just told you makes no sense whatsoever and should probably be ignored. Yay Island Grarrls!


Visit our Stamp Album Guide for a full list
of Neopia's stamp collection!


In the NC Mall, Blumaroll is also due to finish on the 21st and it will be the last chance to buy and use the Blumaroll dice packs.


I'm #1!

Starting today, for this weekend you can send in 5 games scores instead of three! This will also be the case for the upcoming weekends, until September 18th.

It's Scores Galore all weekend long! Now through the 18th of September, you will be able to send five scores per game every Saturday and Sunday! Today we start the festivities a little early... shhhhhh. Visit the Games Room to start playing.

So head over to the Games Room to play some extra games! If you don't know which games you should play, have a look at our Top Ratio Games, where we've listed all kinds of games that will give you some quick and easy NP!

Makes you wonder how the Kazeriu is still able to fly, being all made of stone now

Also, a Christmas Yooyu has been found. Now all Yooyus that have been released so far, have been special prizes for the Altador Cup Prize shop that could not be painted. So this Christmas Yooyu will possibly be a special prize as well. Perhaps for the Advent Calendar?

As posted in the Neopets News, you can also take a Krawk Island Survey. The link is offsite.

UPDATE: On the The Official Neopets Team Message Board, TNT posted:

As you may have noticed, there's been a glitch with the prize page for Krawk Island. (The Governor's Mansion page should be granting your end prizes for participating in search/retrieval before directing you to the Anchor Management daily.) The programmers are working on it as we speak so it should be fixed shortly. Sorry for delay! =/

UPDATE: Participation prizes are now released at the Governor's Mansion! You may be rewarded with an avatar and site theme! Our Solitary Shanty guide has been updated with the prizes. Our Site Themes guide is now showing a preview of the site theme.

Although there is still an island left to be retrieved, it looks like the Solitary Shanty isn't working today. Most likely, this is a glitch which will be fixed later on.


Or maybe the Giant Squid is at it again....

While we wait for the glitch to be fixed, why not have a look at our Solitary Shanty guide? For those who are in the mood for more pirate things, you can have a look at our Pirate themed graphics, or take our pirate quiz!


Yeah for more pirates!

Edit: You can go into the Shanty now, but you won't be able to retrieve an island and solve todays puzzle yet. You can solve puzzle of the previous days if you haven't done so though.

TNT has mentioned in the New Features today that there will be some down-time on the site:

MAINTENANCE NOTICE - We have been informed that a few rogue tentacles have made their way to our servers. Unfortunately, due to this issue, we will have to schedule some maintenance work tonight. The servers may be down anytime between 9 PM to 2 AM NST, so if this happens, just hold on and hope that we don't get carried away in pieces! (P.S. We don't know why we have servers in the ocean, either.)


So don't panic if you can't access Neopets around 9 PM to 2 AM NST :)


These things are everywhere!

The NC Collectible for August was found. It's a Jerdanas Collectors Skirt.

 

August 2011

 












 

Glitch: TNT's board filters seem to be having issues processing posts where people's neo-signatures contain links. If your board posts appear as "-blocked-" this is the reason. Simply remove the link from your neo-signature to correct this issue. We will keep you updated as this progresses.

Update: It appears that the "http://" part of a url is getting blocked by filters. Removing this from a link in your neo-signature will make your posts appear again, however it will remove the linking feature and my the URL appear as plain text.

Another glitch: It seems the reward for the Punchy's Summer Surfin' Safari Community Challenge (US only) is a Brightly Striped Surfboard. It's currently glitched so the item won't show in your inventory.

Update: Both glitches have now been fixed. Neopets related links can now be posted and your Brightly Striped Surfboard can be claimed.
