January 2010 News Archive

For one of our new upcoming projects we are looking for a few new staffmembers. We have created a new job called Customisation Preview Searcher. For this job we are looking for people who are crazy about customisation! Please read the job description carefully before applying for this job. We are looking to find more than one person, so you may just be one of them! We also have a few other Job Openings, in case customisation is not your thing.

For those of you aiming to get the Packrat Avatar, we've got great news for you! As of today the Packrat List here on SunnyNeo has been revamped and rennovated with new content.

As you will notice, there is also a handy navigation system in place to help you get around the page a lot easier! Yay for less scrolling!

The NC Collectors case will most likely be launched soon, since you can already view it at this page. In the collectors case, you can store away the monthly NC collectible item, like from the hero's and villains collection.

Please note, right now, when you put an item in your collector's case, you cannot use it in your closet anymore, so you can't store items and let your pet wear them at the same time. It's unknown wether this will be changed in the future.


Also, the Jeran's Collector Sword as shown in the picture above, will only still be available in the NC Mall for today. After this it will retire. A brand new series of monthly collectible items will most likely be released early in the upcoming week.

There is a new Stamp Album page - Other Too! We have added the new stamps to our list.

We have some brand new Valentines graphics available for you to overdose on with their sugary sweetness! For more Valentines themed graphics take a peek at our Valentines graphics page.

There are 4 new fake avatars, 3 new icons and 1 new background. There will be a few themed petpages and a petlookup in the days to come. Also be expecting some Valentines gift tags in the days to come also.

Good new to all your Key Quest fans! There's a new token selling in the NC Mall. The Cupid Shoyru Key Quest Token is a cute little red Shoyru, dressed up as, yes..a Cupid. 


When unlocking the token, you'll also get a pretty wearable with it, called Flying Shoyru toy. To see all the previous tokens that have been released in the NC mall, please view our Key Quest tokens section.

Hello, I'm one of the newest members of the SunnyNeo team and am proud to be here! I will be updating the Packrat List and leading the Altador Cup coverage in the near future for SunnyNeo so be sure to keep an eye out for news of updates. If you are interested in joining the team, please check out our Apply For Staff page if you would love to contribute to our Neopets helpsite!

A new NC Mall capsule has been found and it seems this one would be Valentines themed. Expect this capsule to be released in the NC Mall soon! Thanks a lot to Nat for sharing this image with us. 

TNT has adjusted the score required to beat AAA in the current New Game Challenge, Jumpin' Gem Heist.  The score was originally set at 70,000, and has been adjusted down to 45,000.  Good luck playing!  We've got the prize items listed on our New Game Challenge Guide.

Today's Neopies category is Best NC Challenge Event.  If you'd like to refresh your memory on the events, we've got guides to the items received in each one:

• Altador Cup NC Challenge
• Atlas of the Ancients NC Challenge
• Daily Dare NC Challenge
• Games Master Challenge NC Challenge

And of course our Neopies Guide has all the categories and items available from this year's voting.

As you can read in the newest issue of the Neopian Times, TNT will be deleting accounts soon that have not been logged into for years. If you have a side account that you haven't logged into in a while, it may be best to log into is soon before it's gone.

Purge the pitiful! Why don't you guys just kill the old accounts whose owners don't go on anymore? It would make lots of people happy because they could finally make a Neopet with the name they have always wanted, plus it would clear up the servers and make Neopets faster, right? ~peppermint_patty_14 We're actually planning another account purge soon, probably during the upcoming months. So if there are any accounts that you haven't visited for years and would like to keep, we suggest logging into them to let us know you'd like to keep them.

This question and many others are archived in our Neopian Times Editorial Search.

Petpetpark now has a "Vault" feature, similar to the Safety Deposit Box on Neopets.  You can store or sort your items in the vault. Unfortunately, the Vault may be a little glitchy.  If you put items in (primarily items that you have multiples of), the items may disappear.  If you have any problems with missing items, be sure to submit a bug report.

And don't forget to stop by for your free daily cup of cocoa!

Currently, there's a glitch going on with the Stocking Stufftacular event, meaning people didn't receive their prize for the stocking that should be hung yesterday. TNT locked a topic on the NC boards stating they are aware of the glitch and working on fixing it. Since it's New Years day however, followed by the weekend, the glitch might not be solved until TNT comes to their office again on Monday.
